Author: Mark.  The name of  Yochanan (John) is the original Hebrew name.  The name of Mark (the Latin name) (or Roman prefix which was later added) means “Polite Shining”.  He is believed to be the same one mentioned in the New Testament in Acts 12:12, 25; 13:5, 13; 15:37, 39; Col 4:10; 2 Tim 4:11; Phile. 24; 1 Pe 5:13.  He was a Jewish believer, and his home was in Jerusalem.  He was the son of Mary who lived in Jerusalem, whose house Peter came to after he was delivered from prison.  He was a travel companion of Peter, Paul, and Barnabas.
Theme: Emphasis seems to be on Jesus being the Son of God and discipleship.  Jesus is revealed as the Son of God and suffering, obedient servant of God the Father, Who gave up His life as a ransom for the sin of others in submission to God’s will.
