Strong's Lexicon Markos: Mark Original Word: Μᾶρκος Word Origin: Of Latin origin, derived from the name "Marcus." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Markos, as it is a Greek name of Latin origin. However, the Hebrew name יוחנן (Yochanan), meaning "John," is related to Mark's full name, John Mark. Usage: Markos, or Mark, is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to John Mark, a companion of Paul and Barnabas, and traditionally considered the author of the Gospel of Mark. The name is of Latin origin, indicating a Roman influence or connection. Cultural and Historical Background: John Mark was a significant figure in the early Christian church. He was the son of Mary, a woman of Jerusalem whose house served as a meeting place for early Christians (Acts 12:12). Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey but left them prematurely, which later caused a rift between Paul and Barnabas (Acts 13:13; 15:37-39). Despite this, Mark was later reconciled with Paul and is mentioned as a valuable co-worker in Paul's letters (Colossians 4:10; 2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 1:24). Mark is also traditionally associated with Peter, from whom he is believed to have received much of the material for his Gospel. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof Latin origin Definition Mark, a Christian NASB Translation Mark (8). Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3138: ΜᾶρκοςΜᾶρκος, Μάρκου, ὁ, Mark; according to the tradition of the church the author of the second canonical Gospel and identical with the John Mark mentioned in the Acts (see Ἰωάννης, 5). He was the son of a certain Mary who dwelt at Jerusalem, was perhaps converted to Christianity by Peter (Acts 12:11f), and for this reason called (1 Peter 5:13) Peter's son. He was the cousin of Barnabas and the companion of Paul in some of his apostolic travels; and lastly was the associate of Peter also: Acts 12:12, 25; Acts 15:37, 39; Colossians 4:10; 2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 1:24 (23); 1 Peter 5:13, cf. Eusebius, h. e. 2, 15f; 3, 39. Some, as Grotius, (Tillemont, Hist. Eccl. 2:89f, 503f; Patritius, De Evangeliis 50:1, c. 2, quaest. 1 (cf. Cotelerius, Patr. Apost. i., 262f)), Kienlen (in the Studien und Kritiken for 1843, p. 423), contend that there were two Marks, one the disciple and companion of Paul mentioned in the Acts and Pauline Epistles, the other the associate of Peter and mentioned in 1 Peter 5:13; (cf. James Morison, Commentary on Mark, Introduction, § 4; Lightfoot on Colossians 4:10). Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Marcus, Mark. Of Latin origin; Marcus, a Christian -- Marcus, Mark.
