Bible Question: what was mark's occupation? |
Bible Answer: Also from www.joyofliving.org/html/MARK1BND01ff.pdf The Author of the Gospel of Mark We do know that this gospel was written by a young man named John Mark, who figures prominently in the New Testament. His mother was named Mary, and she was a wealthy woman who owned a large house in Jerusalem. In Acts 12:12, we see that a large group of the early disciples gathered in Mary’s house to pray for Peter’s release from prison. So apparently Mark might not have had a need for a job in the traditional sense, at least as far as we can know. Hope this helps; Go with God in all His Ways, Bill |
