Saint Mark the Evangelist is the original author of the Gospel of Mark in the bible. He was one of the disciples of Jesus.
There are four main eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the Bible, known as the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Matthew and John (as two of Jesus' twelve disciples) were with Him when He was betrayed, making their gospels eyewitness accounts. (Matthew 26, John 18)Mark, though not one of the twelve, may also have been an eyewitness to the event. His gospel is the only one that makes mention of "a certain young man," in Mark 14:51, 52.Since Mark alone records this occurrence, some surmise that the young man was Mark himself. If so, he too would have been an eyewitness.
The lion symbol of Mark the Evangelist is believed to represent courage, strength, and majesty. It is also associated with the Gospel of Mark, where the lion is seen as a symbol of Jesus' resurrection and royal power.
A:The term 'evangelist' is used to refer to the authors of the four New Testament gospels. One of the gospels, now known as The Gospel According to Mark, was attributed to Mark, the companion of the apostle Paul, by Papias in the second century. The choice was limited to the eleven disciples of Jesus and the companions of Paul. Mark was chosen as the probable author of this gospel because Papias thought he might have also been the son of St Peter, or at least his secretary.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the main books of the bible about Jesus. THey talk about his life from eyewitness accounts to hearing what others have said about what they saw.

The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus as a Savior-King, who conquers demons, disease, and death. He writes like an on-the-spot reporter, constantly using the present tense to create the impression of an eyewitness account. He emphasizes Jesus' mighty and miraculous works making his Gospel action-packed and vividly fresh.
