	St Mark
		By his office of interpreter to St. Peter, some understood that St. Mark was the author of the style of his epistles; others, that he was employed as a translator into Greek or Latin of what the apostle had written in his own tongue, as occasion might require it.
		Jerome and some others take him to be the same with that John, surnamed Mark, son to the sister of St. Barnabas; but it is generally believed they were different persons, and that the latter was with St. Paul in the East at the same time that the Evangelist was at Rome or at Alexandria.
		Mark, to whom this request was made, did accordingly set himself to recollect what he had by long conversation learned from St. Peter; for it is affirmed by some that he had never seen our Saviour in the flesh.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John the Baptist
		John's reply was that he was Divinely "sent to baptize with water" (John 1:33); to this, later on, our Saviour bore testimony, when, in answer to the Pharisees trying to ensnare him, he implicitly declared that John's baptism was from heaven (Mark 11:30).
		John languished probably for some time in the fortress of Machaerus; but the ire of Herodias, unlike that of Herod, never abated: she watched her chance.

	Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son
		The writer of the second Gospel, Mark, called also John, was the son of one the New Testament "Marys", and nephew of Barnabas.

	09-THE FOUR GOSPELS
		The second gospel is generally attributed to that John, surnamed Mark, mentioned several places in Acts and Paul's Epistles, as one whose mother was named Mary, and who had a house in Jerusalem.
		There is an old paper that says John asked the disciples to join him in three days of fasting, after which each should tell the others what he had received, and Andrew at the end of that time said that John, with the concurrence of all, should write down everything in his own name.
		John was later exiled to Patmos where he wrote the Book of Revelation, and then returned to Ephesus, where he probably died around 104 A.D., a natural death.

	Revelation: The Revelation of St John The Divine
		Yes, "John" was the (popish/jewish) bishop of said churches from Ephesus, but so was Timothy whom Paul sent to Ephesus to guard against subversion by such fishers of men who baited with flattery and hooked them with lies, subverting with hypocrisy and partiality.
		Albeit John shares many truths; But Paul reveals "a little leaven leveaneth the whole lump", and there's a little leaven in the "verily verily" gospel according to John, surnamed Mark, and also called one of the "sons of thunder" who moved the other ten to "indignation".
		John is perhaps not as divine as many suppose when looking at all the evidence; Especially the slangs for 'john': victim, victimizer, toilet, pimp, and 'johnny law'.

		That John the Baptist was risen from the dead--The murdered prophet haunted his guilty breast like a specter, and seemed to him alive again and clothed with unearthly powers, in the person of Jesus.
		And the king was exceeding sorry--With his feelings regarding John, and the truths which so told upon his conscience from that preacher's lips, and after so often and carefully saving him from his paramour's rage, it must have been very galling to find himself at length entrapped by his own rash folly.
		From the former the surname "Magdalene" was probably taken, to denote the residence of Mary Magdalene.

	Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary: Mark.
		John (Joh 6:3) says, that "Jesus went up into a mountain"--somewhere in that hilly range, the green tableland which skirts the eastern side of the lake.
		And they did all eat, and were filled--All the four Evangelists mention this: and John (Joh 6:11) adds, "and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would"--to show that vast as was the multitude, and scanty the provisions, the meal to each and all of them was a plentiful one.
		John (Joh 6:17) says they "went over the sea towards Capernaum"--the wind, probably, occasioning this slight deviation from the direction of Bethsaida.

	Revelations of the Revelation or Apocalypse of John
		It is almost inexplicable, given what I have uncovered, that the tradition that the apocalypse is of John the apostle is held as virtually unanimous, beginning in the second century, with only a few dissensions, but even Eusebius was unwilling to commit to its authorship, leaving it, rather, to the personal preference of his readers.
		For example, there is also another John, surnamed Mark, mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, whom Barnabus and Paul took with them; of whom also it is said, 'And they had also John as their attendant.' But that it is he that wrote this, I would not say.
		John prefers the masculine very strongly to the feminine; in Apocalypse there is little difference between the frequencies of the two.

	J. W. McGarvey's Original Commentary on Acts [Chapter XV].
		John, of course, desired to go, and Barnabas wished to give him an opportunity to atone for his former dereliction.
		By returning with Mark to his native land, Barnabas revisited a portion of the brethren to whom he and Paul had preached, while Paul visited another portion of them by a different route.
		We turn with Luke to follow the history of him who was in labors more abundant and in prisons more frequent than all the apostles, [191] and to form a better acquaintance with his new companion.

		Nay, that it is not even a revelation, as it is covered with such a dense and thick veil of ignorance, that not one of the apostles, and not one of the holy men, or those of the church, could be its author.
		A little further, he adds" "But John never speaks as of himself, (in the first person,) nor as of another, (in the third,) but he that wrote the Apocalypse declares himself immediately in the beginning: 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ' which he gave to him to show his servants quickly.
		For they say that there are two monuments at Ephesus, and that each bears the name of John, and from the sentiments and expressions, as also their composition, it might be very reasonably conjectured that this one is different from that.
