	USCCB - NAB - Mark - Introduction
		The unfolding of Mark's story about Jesus is sometimes viewed by interpreters as centered around the term "mystery." The word is employed just once, at Mark 4:11, in the singular, and its content there is the kingdom, the open secret that God's reign is now breaking into human life with its reversal of human values.
		Mark thus shares with Paul, as well as with other parts of the New Testament, an emphasis on election (Mark 13:20, 22) and upon the gospel as Christ and his cross (cf 1 Cor 1:23).
		This Mark was a cousin of Barnabas (Col 4:10) and accompanied Barnabas and Paul on a missionary journey (Acts 12:25; 13:3; 15:36- 39).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Mark
		It is assumed in this article that the individual referred to in Acts as John Mark (xii, 12, 25; xv, 37), John (xiii, 5, 13), Mark (xv, 39), is identical with the Mark mentioned by St. Paul (Colossians 4:10; 2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 24) and by St. Peter (1 Peter 5:13).

		Various explanations of the epithet have been suggested: that Mark, after he embraced Christianity, cut off his thumb to unfit himself for the Jewish priesthood; that his fingers were naturally stumpy; that some defect in his toes is alluded to; that the epithet is to be regarded as metaphorical, and means "deserted" (cf.

	The Deacon's Homily for the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist
		We say of Saint Mark that he was an “evangelist,” and an evangelist is a bearer of glad tidings, a herald of good news.
		We call Mark an evangelist because he was the author of one of the four Gospels, and Gospel (or in the classical languages, “Evangel”) means “good news.” Mark, the Gospel-writer, is Mark the teller of good news, the evangelist.
		Tradition generally supposes that John Mark and Mark the Gospel-writer were the same person, but “Mark” was a very common name in the first century, and there might very well have been two or even more men of that name in the early Church.
