Was Mark's Gospel written in Rome?

Mark's Gospel is traditionally said to have been written in Rome, and that is indeed possible. However, it is more likely that if Mark was written in Rome, it would have been written in Latin, a language which the author seems to have known. There seems little point in writing in a language that many Romans would not have understood.As Mark was written in Greek Koine, it was more likely written somewhere in the eastern empire, where this was the language spoken. On this evidence, it was not written in the Jewish communities of Palestine, where Aramaic would have been the language of choice.

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).
