The four gospels in the New Testament of the Bible were written by different authors. The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew, a disciple of Jesus. The Gospel of Mark was written by Mark, who was a companion of Peter. The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, a companion of the apostle Paul. The Gospel of John was written by John, one of Jesus's disciples.
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
Gospel writer Luke was a physician.
The Gospel Writer that is represented by a Lion is Saint Mark.
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.
The Gospel writer Mark is traditionally thought to have been Peter's translator, as Mark's Gospel is believed to contain Peter's first-hand accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. This connection between Peter and Mark is supported by early church traditions.
