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

Which Gospel writer is thought to have been Peter's translator?

A:Conservative Christians regard Mark as the translator who took Peter's experiences and wrote them down in the Gospel that now bears his name, but this is not the scholarly view. The conservative view arose because 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. However, both are second-century sources and rely on Mark having actually been the author of the gospel that now bears his name.The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and it was not until later in the second century that the Church Fathers thought to attribute authors, by which time any evidence as to who the authors were was long lost. 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. Studies of this gospel have identified probable sources for some of the material in the gospel, good evidence that whatever the various sources were, they were not the words of Peter. So, although it is possible that Mark may have worked with Peter, he was not the writer of a gospel

Who wrote the Gospel of Jesus as St. Peter?

St. Peter was not the direct author of any Gospel. However, scholars think that Peter worked with Mark to produce Mark's gospel. Mark was not an eye-witness of Jesus, whereas Peter was. There is a so-called "Gospel of Peter", but it's not actually by Peter. Scholars generally agree that it was written in the 2nd half of the 2nd century, and is therefore pseudepigraphical (bearing the name of an author who did not actually compose the text - a fairly common and accepted practice in those days, not necessarily an attempt to deceive). It was rejected by the church fathers. For further info, see Wikipedia on 'Gospel of Peter'.


Was gospel writer Mark in a relationship?

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.
