Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel According to Saint Mark I. The Author. - In the fourteenth chapter of St. Mark´s Gospel, we read of a young man who was seen in the Garden of Olives on the night of our Lord´s capture there after His Agony. He was laid hold of by the soldiers, but made his escape, and fled. This incident, recorded only by St. Mark, is so slight and apparently unimportant, that the common opinion is that the young man was St. Mark himself. If so, it is the only mention of him in the Gospels. He is, however, introduced to us in the twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, being there called "John, who is surnamed Mark." His mother´s name was Mary, and it was to their home in Jerusalem that St. Peter went immediately after his miraculous delivery from prison by the Angel, and there he found "many gathered together." The house apparently was a large one, capable of holding at least a considerable section of the Christian community, and tradition tells us that St. Mark´s family was fairly wealthy. Evidently St. Mark was already a person of some importance in the Christian community, and this early connection with St. Peter is not without its force and meaning. That St. Peter received St. Mark into the Church is gathered from the fact that in his first Epistle (1 Pet. v. 13) he speaks of him as "my son Mark," for such is the ordinary usage of Holy Scripture (cp. 1 Cor. iv. 14, 15, 17; 2 Cor. vi. 13; Gal. iv. 19; 1 Tim. i. 2; 1 Jn. ii. 1. 18). He is mentioned altogether eight times in the New Testament (Acts xii. 12, 25; xv. 37, 39; Col. iv. 10; Philem. 24; 2 Tim. iv. 11; 1 Pet. v. 13). Some have thought that he is the "man carrying a pitcher of water" (Mk. xiv. 13), who met the two disciples on their way to prepare the Pasch for our Lord.
