The Apostle ST. MARK

Common Pictures of St. Mark. Do you see any similarities?

FACTS He was a Jew Born: Cyrene in the Pentapolis of North Africa, in what is now Libya Father: Aristopolis Mother: Mary (served Jesus out of her own money) Uncle: Barnabas 2 Names: John- Jewish name meaning Kindness of God Mark- Latin name meaning Hammer

Languages: Greek, Latin, and Hebrew Chosen by Christ to be one of the 70 apostles

Mark’s House First Church in Christianity. Why?? Christ observed Passover with His disciples Christ washed His disciples’ feet Christ instituted the Eucharist The disciples met for prayer after Resurrection and before Pentecost The Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles on the day of Pentecost St. Peter went when the angel released him from the prison

The LION…why? 1. On their way to Jordan, St. Mark and his father were faced by 2 beasts (a lion and a lioness). The father realized that they were going to be devoured by the beasts and asked his son to escape. St. Mark prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the lions miraculously dropped dead. This event led the artists to insert a lion in all St. Mark’s icons.

2. He started his Gospel with the roar of a lion: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness” 3. His Gospel represents the Lord Jesus Christ in His majesty and Kingdom as He is “the lion of the tribe of Judah”

A Missionary 1 st journey: accompanied St. Paul and St. Barnabas on their first missionary journey but left them at Pamphilia and returned to Judea. 2 nd journey: went with St. Barnabas to Cyprus.

Christ was St. Mark’s Life Christ is OUR life ST. MARK knew Christ through His teachings and witness the incidents in his house (upper room). WE need to know Christ through His teachings as recorded in the bible. The upper room is my heart where God resides in it if it is cleansed with repentance.
