The Making of a Gospel Writer: Barnabas (Part 4) & Peter

November 18, 2018 Speaker: Steve Cowden Series: Gospel of Mark

Topic: Sermons Passage: Acts 12:25, Acts 13:13, Colossians 4:10, Philemon 1:23–24, 2 Timothy 4:11, 1 Peter 5:13, Acts 10:34–43

John Mark, taken along with Barnabas and Saul, somehow failed them and left them to return home to Jerusalem.  Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement over him later, and parted ways as a result.

Peter had a significant influence on Mark’s life, and he even calls Mark his son. Papias 110 AD (writing about what he heard in 80-90 AD), tells us that Mark was with Peter as his assistant and secretary, taking notes on what Peter taught and arranging it into the gospel of Mark, essentially Peter’s gospel.
