[edit] Statement

I have recently edited the page due to a minor incorrect statemenr that results in confusion. Barnabas and Mark did not "stay" they seperated From Paul who took Silas with him. Barnabas and Mark left and went to Cyprus. Kyle.Mullaney 06:12, 11 November 2005 (UTC)Kyle

the exact statement that was edited out was the following "but was left behind (and Barnabas stayed too) for the second, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles."

[edit] Article needs cleanup

The article on Mark the Evanelist has numerous errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc., and needs to be cleaned up. I don't know how to create this "flag" so I'm noting it here. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.68.4.4 (talk • contribs) .

It seems to me that the article was rather good until this edit, and since then there's been much reinventing the wheel to get it to the current form. I would normally try to merge the two versions together, but I'm so much so not an expert on this that I'm not comfortable doing that here. — Laura Scudder ☎ 16:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I went back to that version and merged in just the very end of it, mainly the external links and the succession box. I didn't take time to go through all the edits from that version, but I suspect there's more that would be worth merging back in. Wesley 16:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Who was he?

There is no mention of his native tongue, where he was born or his birth name. Was it the Roman Marcus??? Further, the fact box states that he died in AD 68 (which is for anyone who cares, was the year of the four Caesars), but in the text of the article, it states that "In AD 67 they killed him" So did he die in 68 or 67?
