Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabus on a missionary journey, and Paul referred to him later his life as being a servant of God and well respected. He also wrote the second book of the Gospels. His mother was a Christian and his father a Greek. He is also the one who ran away naked when Christ was arrested.
what did James the greater do before Jesus came to him
A:Mark was not a friend in the normal sense of the word, because he never met Jesus.
Doctor.
The Bible tells us nothing about Judas before the time of his call, Matthew 10:4; Mark 3:19; and Luke 6:16.
Peter was a fisherman before he met Jesus
probably a fisherman
The bible does not mention exactly what Philip did as a profession.
Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemene. Jesus was crucified on Golgotha, not Mount of Olives.
A:The trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin is in the synoptic gospels: Matthew 26:57-66, Mark 14:53-64, Luke 22:66-71. In Matthew and Mark, the trial takes place soon after Jesus is arrested at midnight, but in Luke the priests wait until daybreak, since the Sanhedrin would never have met during hours of darkness to try Jesus. John's Gospel does not have a trial before the Sanhedrin, but has Jesus taken first to the house of Annas, father-in-law to the high priest, who interrogated him alone. Then Jesus was taken to the house of the high priest, Caiaphas, who again interviewed Jesus alone.
All of them met Jesus.
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.
Since scholars say that the Mark mentioned in the epistles was not really the author of the Gospel later attributed to him, there are two 'Marks' and therefore two answers to this question.1 Peter 5:13 says that Mark, presumably the same Mark as mentioned by Paul, was the author's son. If the author of this epistle was really the disciple Peter, we could say that there was a good chance of Mark having met Jesus, perhaps as a young child. However, scholars say that the epistle now known as 1 Peter was written pseudonymously and not really by Peter. There is no reason to believe that Mark, Paul's "fellow-labourer", had really met Jesus personally.The Gospel According to Mark was originally written anonymously and only attributed to Mark by Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor, around 130 CE. For convenience, scholars continue to call this anonymous author 'Mark', but the evidence of the Gospel itself is that 'Mark' never met Jesus.
