Why do some say the gospel is Peter's memoirs and is there any evidence to support this?
Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), named Mark as the author of the formerly anonymous gospel now known as Mark's Gospel, saying that he was the 'interpreter' of Peter, presumably as if Mark had written from Peter's memory and notes as his secretary (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 3.39). Since the other gospel authors are now known to have relied, directly or indirectly, on Mark as their source document for the life and mission of Jesus, this would mean that all four gospel accounts are ultimately Peter's memoirs, pewrhpas with elaborations and improvements.
Papias' claim may have originated with the first epistle of Peter (l Peter 5:13), a pseudonymous document from the second century, in which a Mark is mentioned as Peter's son. He no doubt saw gospel authorship by Peter's son as a reasonable possibility and, since the Gospel needed an author, attributed it to Mark. However, there is no reason to believe that Peter really had a son called Mark, nor to accept Papias' reasoning in naming this or any other Mark as the author of the Gospel that now bears this name.
What else can I help you with?
Is there a gospel of Paul?
A:There is no Gospel of Paul, but there is evidence that Mark's Gospel did use come material out of Paul's Epistles to the Galatians and the Corinthians. There is also evidence found in Luke's Gospel of borrowing from Paul's epistles.

Is there any proof outside the Bible for the historicity of Mark?
There is no extra-biblical proof of the historicity of the disciple. Moreover, the Gospel known to us as the Gospel According to St Mark or St Mark's Gospel does not identify its author, and it was not until the second century that it was finally attributed by the Church Fathers to the Apostle Mark, thus giving this previously anonymous Gospel the name "Gospel According to St Mark". However, there is no real evidence to support that opinion, and considerable evidence to the contrary. The decision of the Church Fathers to attribute the Gospel to the apostle Mark was an admirable, but not necessarily correct one.
Is the gospel singer Carmelo Domenic Licciardello gay and a pedophile and heroine addict?

Who guided the faithful in living the gospel of Jesus?
I can not remember the exact quote from the bible. But it was Jesus who said Peter you are my rock and it is on you that my church shall be built. And depending on whether or not you believe in such things, Peters grave/resting place, is the foundations of Saint Peters Church, Vatican City.
What evidence for the resurrection does John present?
The evidence that John presents for the resurrection of Jesus somewhat contradicts the evidence of the other gospels, but is closest to Luke, the synoptic gospel that John's Gospel most closely resembles.In John's Gospel, the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples in the upper room and showed them his wounds, but Thomas was not present. Eight days later, Jesus again appeared to the disciples, this time with Thomas present, and offered to let Thomas touch his wounds. These appearances, and the later appearance at the Sea of Galilee, are provided as evidence of the resurrection, and the wounds are the evidence that this really was Jesus, in the flesh.
Is there evidence outside the Bible that proves Matthew was a historical person?
In the early first century, Matthew was never mentioned by anyone outside the gospels, and the gospel that bears his name was written anonymously and only attributed to Matthew later in the second century. So, the existence of the gospel is not evidence for the historicity of Matthew and there is no other extra-biblical evidence for him.

Why was Apostle Mark's mentor Peter?
The Church Fathers noticed that 2 Peter 5:13 has Peter refer to Mark as "my son." Unaware that Second Peter is a pseudepigraphical epistle, they assumed this either meant that Mark was indeed the son of Peter or at least that Peter held Mark in high esteem. A tradition subsequently arose that Mark wrote the second gospel based on the memoirs of Peter, although another early tradition was that Mark's Gospel was written as a summary of Matthew's Gospel (the evidence is that Mark's Gospel was actually written before Matthew).Because we now know that 2 Peter was written long after the death of Peter, it can no longer be considered as evidence that Mark even knew Peter. Mark's Gospel was written before Matthew).
When was the second gospel written?
There is strong evidence that the first gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written within two or three years of the year 70 CE.

Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) suggests an allowance of about ten years either way.
