Paul mentioned a Mark in Philemon (1:24) as a prisoner and fellow-Christian. Colossians, a peudonymous document from the second century, mentions a person called Mark as the nephew of Barnabas (4:10). The first epistle of Peter (5:13), also a peudonymous document from the second century, mentions Mark as Peter's son. It is likely that the authors of 1 Peter and Colossians were unaware of each other's contribution.
Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), named Mark as the author of the gospel and the 'interpreter' of Peter, presumably as if Mark had written from Peter's memory and notes as his secretary (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 3.39). So Papias accepted that Mark was Peter's son and that he was the likely author of the gospel that now bears his name.
The author of Mark's Gospel seems to have been a well-educated Greek speaker, versed in the advanced techniques of Greek literature. He was unfamiliar with Palestinian geography or the culture of Palestinian Jews, but was familiar with the Roman-Jewish War of 66-70 CE and knew of the Civil War that raged within the walls of Jerusalem even while under attack by the Romans. He also seems to have read Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. Apart from this, we do not know who the author of Mark's Gospel really was.
Christian tradition holds that the Gospel of Mark was written by a disciple named Mark who is an interpreter for Peter.
Modern Scholars contends that the Author of the Gospel of Mark is from an anonymous writer intended for the gentiles of Rome and was written in Rome after the Fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the second Temple by the Roman troops troops under Titus around 70 CE.
Most Scholars now agree that the Long Ending, Mark 16:9-20 was written by another author at a later date.
Some critics contends that the Gospel of Mark was just a compilation of a lost hypothetical Gospel named Quelle or simply the "Q Document".
Mark's Gospel was originally written anonymously and remained so until Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), named Mark as the author of the gospel and the 'interpreter' of Peter. However, scholars say there is no good reason to believe that Mark was the real author of the Gospel that now bears his name. Since we do not know who 'Mark' really was, we can not say when or where he was born.
The four gospels were originally anonymous and were not attributed to the persons whose names they now bear until later in the second century, so we should not think of these persons as the actual authors, either of Mark or of the other gospels. Modern New Testament scholars continue to use those names for the evangelists for reasons of convenience only.
The term 'evangelist' is generally used to apply to the authors of the four New Testament gospels.
All four gospels were originally anonymous, but were attributed by the Church Fathers, later in the second century, to the persons thought most likely to have written them. Thus, Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), named Mark as the author of the gospel that now bears his name, and the 'interpreter' for Peter presumably as if Mark had written from Peter's memory and notes as his secretary (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 3.39). Mark is mentioned by Paul as a 'fellowprisoner in Christ' (Philemon 24), also as a cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10; ) and even as son of Peter (1 Peter 5:13). New Testament scholars say that Colossians was not really written by Paul and that 1 Peter was not really written by the apostle Peter, so the only certainty is that Mark was the young companion of Paul.
Regardless of Mark's relationship to either Barnabas or Peter, New Testament scholars say there is no good reason to accept the attribution to him of the first New Testament gospel to be written. We do not know who the evangelist was, but the name 'Mark' continues to be used for convenience.
Early missionary and church leader; author of the second Gospel; son of Mary in whose home the Jerusalem believers met to pray when Peter was imprisoned by Herod Agrippa I.

A:The first gospel to be written is Mark's Gospel, so we should assume that the apostle Mark was the first gospel author. However, the gospels were originally anonymous and only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Biblical scholars say there is no good reason to attribute Mark's Gospel to the apostle Mark. This means we do not really know who wrote the first gospel.
