John Mark was a prominent figure in the early Christian church, mentioned several times in the New Testament. He is believed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark, which describes the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. John Mark was the son of a woman named Mary, who hosted a house church in Jerusalem. He accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey, but later left them and returned to Jerusalem. This caused a rift between Paul and Barnabas, as Barnabas wanted to give John Mark another chance, but Paul did not. Nonetheless, John Mark continued to serve in the church and is remembered as a faithful disciple of Jesus.
