Apostle of the Seventy
Kinsman of the Apostle Barnabas, mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles.
Life
Holy Apostle Mark, one of the Seventy, is mentioned by Saint Luke in the Acts of the Apostles as a kinsman of the Apostle Barnabas. The Synaxarion says that he was made bishop by the apostles in Biblos (Byblos).
After many sufferings endured from unbelievers for the rebuilding of the churches and the overthrow of the idols, himself becoming a worker of miracles and healings, he departed to the Lord. He is not to be confused with the holy Evangelist Mark. He is commemorated on 27 April and, with the other Apostles of the Seventy, on 4 January.
Commemorated the same day April 27
