John is represented by an eagle, which (so it was believed) was the only bird that could fly high enough to look directly at the sun. This symbol was chosen because of John's lofty view of Christ's divinity.

A:The Gospel of Mark opens with the verse, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." however, there is reason to believe that this verse was not in the earliest copies of Mark.
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.
Three men named John are found in the Gospels, two of which where gospel authors:John (brother of James and son of Zebedee) was writer of Gospel of John.John Mark was the writer of Gospel of Mark (Acts 12:25)John the Baptist, son of Zechariah and Elizabeth (Mat 11:11, John 1)Note that John Mark, writer of Mark gospel, does not appear in the Gospel writings themselves because he became a disciple after those events occurred. His story starts with his journey with Paul and Barnabas.
Traditionally, each Gospel is attributed to the assumed writer. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
In order they appear in the New Testament; Matthew, Mark, Luke & John
Mark is mentioned in the pseudonymous epistle, 1 Peter (5:13) as Peter's son, and Papias said that he was also the 'interpreter' for Peter. Although both are second-century sources, this could place Mark with the apostle Peter.The tradition that Mark was the author of the Gospel that now bears his name arose around 130 CE, when Papias supposed that he was probably the author. However, there is no evidence that he was really the author of the gospel that now bears his name. So, although it is possible that Mark may have worked with Peter, he was not the writer of a gospel
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. The pseudepigraphical second-century First Epistle of Peter (1 Peter) refers to Mark as Peter's son. However, scholars say there is no good reason to believe that Mark was the real author of the Gospel that now bears his name.
Matthew, Mark and John were all Jewish, Luke was the only gentile to write a gospel. Matthew was writing especially for the Jews so you might be thinking of him.
