St. Mark is mentioned as one of St. Paul’s fellow workers in Philemon 24, and according to Acts he accompanied Paul and Barnabas on a mission journey to Antioch (now Antakya, Turkey), but later left them to return to Jerusalem. Mark’s leaving caused a rift between Barnabas and Paul, for Paul declined Barnabas’ insistence on giving Mark another chance. Subsequently, Mark sailed to Cyprus with Barnabas, never to be mentioned again in Acts.
