St. Mark
Young “John Mark” (whose feast is today) first appears in a story told in the Acts of the Apostles. Peter, jailed in Jerusalem by Herod Agrippa, escapes during the night with the help of an angel.
They emerged and made their way down an alley, and suddenly the angel left him. Then Peter recovered his senses and said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me…” When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who is called Mark, where there were many people gathered in prayer.
Mark later traveled with Paul on his first missionary journey (about 46 A.D.) He is also thought to have served as an interpreter for Peter who may not have known Greek well enough to teach in that language.
Mark wrote his Gospel in about 70 A. D.
