Mark refers to the "kingdom of God" 14 times in his Gospel.
The word "immediately" appears 41 times in the Gospel of Mark.
The word "Mercy" is only mentioned in the Gospel of Mark twice. Note the following verses from the KJV Bible: Mark 10:47-48 "And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me."
God is mentioned 50 times in the book of Mark KJV (by my count in my trusty copy of Strong's.)

In the early first century, Mark was never mentioned by anyone outside the gospels, and the gospel that bears his name was written anonymously and only attributed to Mark later in the second century. So, the existence of the gospel is not evidence for the historicity of Mark and there is no other extra-biblical evidence for him.
