for years
Mark was never a disciple of jesus christ .He wrote the gospel of Mark. he did not write the book of act.
The story in which Jesus stilled a storm and rebuked the wind first appeared in Mark's Gospel (Mark 4:36-41) and was subsequently copied by the authors of Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel. All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous, so we do not really know who the author was.
In the three Gospels which record this event no number is mentioned. It could reasonably be assumed, that since no-one is recorded as being absent that all twelve were present. See:Matthew 8:23-27: Mark 4:35-41 and Luke 8:22-25
The disciples were Peter, James and John. (Mark 14:33)
In fact, Peter only went to the tomb of Jesus in Luke and John, which are interdependent gospels. In Matthew, Jesus told the women to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them. Peter did not go to the tomb. In the "Long Ending" to Mark, the women told the disciples that Jesus had risen, but they did not believe. None of the disciples went to the tomb.
The gospel of Mark in the second gospel chronologically, and he may not have been one of the 12 apostles, but he certainly had a spiritual walk with Jesus. His mothers house was the place the disciples met after Jesus' resurrection. Some believe it was her house the last supper was eaten in with Jesus and his disciples. If this is so, Mark probably did know Jesus personally while he was on earth.
Saint Mark the Evangelist is the original author of the Gospel of Mark in the bible. He was one of the disciples of Jesus.
As far as I know Mark went to Egypt after the crucifixion.
Jesus was free from the presence of his disciples as he had sent them on ahead of him to prepare for the Last Supper at Passover.
Gethsemane was not the Apostle Mark's house. Gethsemane wasn't a town, it was actually a garden where Jesus took the disciples to pray.
The two disciples Matthew and John wrote Gospels about Jesus' life. Many also believe that Peter was an important source for the Gospel of Mark.
Mark portrayed the disciples as somewhat slow to understand Jesus' teachings and as lacking in faith at times. They often misunderstood Jesus' message and actions, leading to lessons and rebukes from Jesus. However, they eventually grew in their understanding and faith, becoming key figures in spreading the message of Jesus after his resurrection.
