St. Mark is believed to be the young man who ran away when Jesus was arrested (Mark 14:51-52), and the "John whose other name was Mark" (Acts 12:25). He was a disciple of Saint Peter the Apostle who travelled with him to Rome, and was referred to as "my son Mark" by the first Pope. He also travelled with his cousin Saint Barnabas, and with Saint Paul through Cyprus. He was probably influenced and inspired by all these people as well as by Our Lord.
