Q

Give some internal evidence of Mark’s authorship of the book of Mark.

A

Mark is the only Gospel who records the incident of the young man who fled from Gethsemane(14:51-52).

  1. The detailed description of the “guest room” in Mark 14:12-16 (cf. Mt. 26:17-19; Jn. 13:1-12) would be more natural had it been his house.
  2. There is evidence within the book of a knowledge of Aramaic and the local customs which would fit Mark who was a Palestinian Jew (Acts 12:17).
  3. A close connection between Mark and Peter (1 Pet. 5:13) is noticed when comparison is made of the content of the Gospel and the sermon of Peter in Acts 10:36-41.

Also, Eusebius, in his quote of Papias, says Mark was the “interpreter” for Peter’s teachings.
