lives
sources over his life are the new will, in particular the Apostelgeschichte, and the church fathers Papias, Eusebius of Caesarea, Hieronymus and Epiphanias.
Johannes Markus was a Jew Christian in Jerusalem (Apg. 12,12) and the cousins of the Barnabas (Kol. 4,10). The house of its nut/mother becomes later the center of the Jerusalemer Urgemeinde.
Johannes Markus became from Barnabas and Paulus on the first mission journey carried forward (Apg. 13,4), held out however not and turned around in Perge in Pamphylien . To the second mission journey Barnabas Markus wanted to again carry forward, but Paulus refused and selected Silas to the companion, during Barnabas alsoMarkus to Cyprus drove (Apg. 15, 36-40).
Later exists good relationship between Paulus and Markus, which are during the first shank with Paulus in Rome (Kol. 4,10, Phlm.24) and around its coming Paulus with itssecond Roman detention the Timotheus expressly asks (2. Tim. 4,11).
We find it later in Rome with Petrus (1Petr. 5,13), which calls it its son, which points on the fact that Markus came by Petrus to the faith. The staythe Markus in Rome is of importance for the drawing up of the Markusevangeliums, since Petrus was after the tradition the main source for contents of this gospel.
The assumption that Markus with the unknown young eye-witness of the capture Jesu (Mk.14,51f meant itself) - that only young man mentioned with Markus, whom a Roman soldier held to the garb on which it it stripped and naked fled -, is common property/knowledge of the Markusauslegung and also by the church tradition is supported.
Papias reports approx. 130 that Johannes Markus of the translators of the Petrus was and wrote down exactly the theories of Petrus, however not in the same order, as he heard it.
Eusebius of Caesarea, Hieronymus and Epiphanias report,that Markus of the founders of the municipality in Alexandria was - which time of his arrival indicated as the forties or fifties-years. The koptische church sees it as its first Pope.
Sources from the fourth century report of martyr death of theMarkus in Alexandria.
