No. They are two different people. John the apostle was a young disciple of Jesus and formerly a fisherman with James both being sons of Zebedee.

John Mark, the author of the Gospel of Mark was a traveling companion of Paul for a time as referenced in Acts 12:12 and 25; Acts 15:37 and 39 and 2 Timothy 4:11.

The apostle John wrote the Gospel of John while John Mark wrote the Gospel of Mark. The two Gospels are themselves quite different in their style and arrangement of subject matter, bearing witness to two quite different personalities at work under God's inspiration.

The two are quite distinct as John the Apostle is not recorded as having accompanied Paul on any of his journeys, nor is it recorded that John Mark was present as a disciple. One possible reference to John Mark is in Mark 14:51-52 which has no significance except as it were an incidental reference of Mark to himself and his own embarrasment.

This incident if correctly interpreted (as it may well be in the light of later developments where Mark is recorded as having 'left' the missionary work of Paul) demonstrates somewhat of a fearful nature on the part of Mark. John, on the other hand, even was present at Jesus' trial.

A:Modern biblical scholars say that John the author of Revelation could not have been John the apostle of Jesus, nor the author of John's Gospel. In the latter case, the styles and theologies are too different. In fact, it was only towards the end of the second century that the Church Fathers began to assume that the author of Revelation was John the apostle. However, this assumption was not based on any known evidence.

For this reason, the author of Revelation is now commonly known as John of Patmos, to distinguish him from the other John.

The New Testament Books written by John?

The author of the Gospel of John is always referred to in it as "The Disciple that Jesus Loved" and never by name. Christian tradition assigns the authorship to John the Evangelist, although many modern scholars dispute this. 1 John is widely accepted by both tradition and modern scholarship to have the same author as the gospel of John. Tradition assigns 2 John and 3 John to the same John as above, whereas many modern scholars believe that the writer of these short works, who refers to himself as "the elder", is not the same person. No claims of identity are made in any of the three epistles by the author(s), and it should be noted that "John" was a common name at the time. Lastly the author of the apocalyptic Revelation identifies himself as "John". There has been very little consensus, even in the early church, over whether this "John of Patmos" is the same as these other Johns. Hope this helps, L

Is belove almost the same as beloved?

Well, no, because there is no word "belove". "Beloved" in modern usage is not a past tense of a verb. It can be a noun as in "Cindy is my beloved", "Give flowers to your beloved", "John is the beloved of Mary." It can also be an adjective as in "beloved wife and mother". Historically the word seems to have come about in a process whereby verbs used only in the passive tend to become adjectives. The form of sentences like "I am honoured" is very like that of "I am noble".
