A:
The second-century Church Father seems to have thought that the Gospel was actually written by Mark and that he wrote down what Peter told him about the mission of Jesus. Apart from that, it seems very unlikely that Peter was at all involved in writing Mark's Gospel, which was originally anonymous and can not with any certainty be attributed to Mark.
Traditionally, Peter is said to have died in Rome around 64-66 CE. Even if this is not really true, it seems unlikely that, as a disciple of Jesus in 29 CE, he was still alive in 70 CE when this Gospel was written. On the one hand, why would he wait for decades after the crucifixion of Jesus before passing on his story; on the other hand, why would the author of Mark wait so long after the death of Peter before writing down what Peter might have told him? Furthermore, the author of Mark's Gospel was quite familiar with Greek mythology, whereas Peter appears not likely to have had the same education.
What else can I help you with?
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).
Which gospel has been called the Memoirs of Peter?
A:This would be Mark's Gospel because of the widespread belief that Mark was related to Peter, who supposedly taught Mark about Jesus, and the attribution of this Gospel to Mark.
What was Marks occupation in the Bible?
In the Bible, Mark is traditionally believed to be John Mark, who served as an assistant to the apostle Peter and later became a companion of Paul during his missionary journeys. There is debate over Mark's specific occupation, but he is often regarded as a scribe or interpreter due to his close association with Peter and involvement in recording Peter's teachings in the Gospel of Mark.
Which Gospel writer is thought to have been Peter's translator?
A:Conservative Christians regard Mark as the translator who took Peter's experiences and wrote them down in the Gospel that now bears his name, but this is not the scholarly view. The conservative view arose because Mark is mentioned in the pseudonymous epistle, 1 Peter (5:13) as Peter's son, and Papias said that he was also the 'interpreter' for Peter. However, both are second-century sources and rely on Mark having actually been the author of the gospel that now bears his name.The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and it was not until later in the second century that the Church Fathers thought to attribute authors, by which time any evidence as to who the authors were was long lost. The tradition that Mark was the author of the gospel that now bears his name arose around 130 CE, when Papias supposed that he was probably the author. Studies of this gospel have identified probable sources for some of the material in the gospel, good evidence that whatever the various sources were, they were not the words of Peter. So, although it is possible that Mark may have worked with Peter, he was not the writer of a gospel
What qualified Mark to write a gospel?
A:The gospel now known as Mark's Gospel was originally anonymous, but was attributed to Mark by the second-century Church Fathers, on the basis that Mark could have learnt about Jesus during his time as a companion of the apostle Paul. The early second-century First Epistle of Peter (verse 5:13) even suggests that Mark was the son of St Peter. However, biblical scholars do not believe it likely that Paul's companion, Mark, was the person who actually wrote Mark's Gospel. They do not know who wrote the Gospel and what qualified him for the task. Certainly, this was the most important gospel in the New Testament, as it can be demonstrated that the authors of the other gospels, who were also anonymous, relied directly or indirectly on Mark for everything they knew about the life and mission of Jesus.

How many disciples were used to write the Gospel stories of Jesus' life?
The two disciples Matthew and John wrote Gospels about Jesus' life. Many also believe that Peter was an important source for the Gospel of Mark.
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.
Which gospel writer was a companion of Peter?

Who wrote the gospel between Matthew and Luke?
The Gospel of Mark is traditionally placed in the New Testament between those of Matthew and Luke, although it was actually written first. St Mark's Gospel does not identify its author and it was not until the second century that an attempt was made to assign an author to the Gospel, when it was attributed by the Church Fathers to the Apostle Mark, thus giving this previously anonymous Gospel the name by which it is now known.Eusebius (Ecclesiastical History, 3.39) says that it was Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), who named Mark as the author of the gospel and the 'interpreter' of Peter. It seems likely that he was influenced by the first epistle of Peter, a pseudonymous document from the second century, where a Mark is mentioned as Peter's son (l Peter 5:13). Since 1 Peter is now known not to have really been written by the apostle Peter, this just adds another level of unsupported conjecture to the quest for the author of Mark's Gospel.

Who wrote the Gospel of Jesus as St. Peter?
St. Peter was not the direct author of any Gospel. However, scholars think that Peter worked with Mark to produce Mark's gospel. Mark was not an eye-witness of Jesus, whereas Peter was. There is a so-called "Gospel of Peter", but it's not actually by Peter. Scholars generally agree that it was written in the 2nd half of the 2nd century, and is therefore pseudepigraphical (bearing the name of an author who did not actually compose the text - a fairly common and accepted practice in those days, not necessarily an attempt to deceive). It was rejected by the church fathers. For further info, see Wikipedia on 'Gospel of Peter'.
