Life
Holy Apostle Mark of the Seventy, also called John, was a kinsman of the Apostle Barnabas. He is mentioned by Saint Luke in the Acts of the Apostles (12:25 and 15:37-39) and by Saint Paul in the Epistle to the Colossians (4:10) and in the Epistle to Philemon (verse 24). He is not to be confused with the holy Evangelist Mark.
He preached the Word of God together with Paul and Barnabas and was made bishop of the Phoenician city of Biblos. It is said that he attained such boldness before God that even his shadow healed the sick.
He is commemorated on 27 September, and together with the other apostles of the Seventy on 4 January. A further commemoration of him falls on 15 April.
