Who wrote the Gospel of Mark?
The most that can be said about the Gospel of Mark is that it was written by John Mark, a disciple of Peter, who wrote the sermons and narratives of Peter.
This testimony came to him in 150 AD
, about 80 years after the Gospel was written.
Some opinions say that the writer is unknown.
There is a dispute about whether it was written in Latin first and translated or not?
There is a dispute about where it was written.
The time of writing ranges between 65 and 70 AD
. Its sources are Peter's sermons, oral sayings, and perhaps previously written sources. (Where is the revelation?)
There are sources that say that Mark wrote more than one Gospel in more than one place, so where are the other versions?
There is a dispute about its ending, because it is not found in the oldest manuscripts, and it is likely that it was added years after writing (an additional distortion that we will discuss after we talk about the writers of the New Testament who are mostly unknown except for the writer of some of Paul's letters, which are beyond doubt).
When you go into the details, you find that nothing is certain, no support or origins for the writings, and no certainty about the date or place of writing.
It is all conjecture, guesswork, and expectations.
We leave you with the quotes that clarify what we mentioned earlier.
1 - Matthew the Poor's Interpretation - The Gospel of Peter - quotes some of the scholars' statements about the Gospel of Mark, so he wrote p. 17. Picture 1.
(The Gospel of Mark is a compilation of previous notes) ..... Where is the revelation?
2 - Matthew the Poor's Interpretation - The Gospel of Peter - quotes some of the scholars' statements about the Gospel of Mark, so he wrote p. 18. Picture 2.
(The Gospel of Mark was written in Latin and translated into Greek) ..... Where is the Latin version? .... Lost!!? ... Where is your question that you ask: Can't God preserve his words?
(The Gospel of Mark is a compilation of three Gospels, Aramaic "Where is it?" Gentile "That is, Latin - Where is it?" and the last in the diaspora, written in Alexandria). Were the copies of the first evangelists lost?
3 - Matthew the Poor's Interpretation - The Gospel of Peter - He quotes some of the scholars' statements about the Gospel of Mark, so he wrote p. 21. Picture 3.
(The Aramaic language is the real background of the Gospel of Mark ..... He took from Aramaic sources that were perhaps oral)
Perhaps and perhaps he believes and quotes, so where is the evidence and where is the inspiration in those who quote from written or oral sources? And where are the sources?
4 - - Matthew the Poor's Interpretation - The Gospel of Peter - The words of Matthew the Poor himself wrote, page 30 - Picture 4.
(We noticed that the Gospel is a series of recordings of visions and hearings - and a few of them are oral transmissions from Peter or written transmissions from older manuscripts that are lost)
Where is the inspiration? And where are the manuscripts from which Mark quoted under the guidance of "the Holy Spirit, as you claim?"
5 - - Matthew the Poor's Interpretation - The Gospel of Peter - The words of Matthew the Poor himself wrote, page 30 - Picture 5.
It is said that it was written in Latin, and it is not known when or where it was written. (It is said and it is said)

(It was written from 65 to 70 – in Egypt or Rome. But he objected that he took his writings from Peter, contrary to all Bible scholars!!).

Were you 85 years without knowing its author until Papias said that Mark wrote it!!??

"We will discuss this type of distortion in a separate topic. The first type of distortion is attributing writings to God or saying that they were inspired - the second type is changing the writings - the third type is compound distortion, which is distorting writings that were not originally inspired by God."
12 - The Gospel of Mark - Bart Ehrman - New Testament - Chapter 7. (Image 13 of the original text in English) Written:
We begin our study of the Gospels with Mark, the shortest of the four in the New Testament. We do not know who the author was, only that he was a Greek-speaking Christian, presumably living outside Palestine, and had heard a number of stories about Jesus. Mark (as I will continue to call him because we do not know his real name) wrote a lengthy account of the life of Jesus, beginning with his appearance as an adult to his baptism by John and ending with a report His resurrection. In addition to the stories he heard, Mark may also have used written sources for parts of his account. If so, these sources no longer exist. Of the complete Gospels that have survived, Mark appears to be the first to be written. As we shall see, the authors of Matthew and Luke used this Gospel for many of their accounts of Jesus.

The Gospel of Mark: Mark was written in Greek around AD 70. Its anonymous author was a Greek-speaking Christian, probably living outside Palestine, who heard many stories about Jesus before writing his account of his Christian community.
14 - The New Testament Canon - Bruce Metzger - (Image 15 of the original text in English) He wrote:
According to Papias, again as reported by Eusebius (History eccl. 3. 39:15), the priest used to say this: Mark, having become Peter's interpreter and perhaps "spokesman" or "secretary", wrote down carefully all that he remembered [of Peter's preaching]!. But without recording the things the Lord said or did in order. For he neither heard the Lord nor followed him, but afterwards, as I said, [he heard and followed Peter], who adapted his discourse to the needs" which is the arrangement of the Lord's sayings, so that Mark did not make any mistake in writing down individual points as he remembered them. For he was careful about one thing - not to omit anything of what he heard or to falsify anything in it.
From this account we can discover that three criticisms have been made against Mark's Gospel:
(a) Mark did not hear Jesus, nor follow him.
(b) What he wrote lacks order, either rhetorically or chronologically.
(c) His Gospel is incomplete.
In answer to these criticisms, Papias says that Peter provided the guarantee of the Gospel, and that the circumstances under which it was written explain why it is not in perfect order and presents some gaps - a kind of testimony to the sincerity of Mark in sending down all that Peter used to preach.
15 - The New Testament Canon - Bruce Metzger - (Image 16 of the original text in English) He writes:
In 1958, Morton Smith found a fragment of a letter purporting to be from Clement to Theodore at the monastery of Mar Saba in Judea.
It is written in an eighteenth-century hand on some blank pages at the back of a book printed in 1646; from this letter it appears that Clement knew three versions of Mark,
(a) the first of which was the common use, which Mark wrote at Rome on the basis of Peter's preaching,
(b) later, after Peter's martyrdom, Mark came to Alexandria, bringing his own notes and those of Peter, from which he transferred to his former book the things appropriate to all that makes progress towards knowledge. Thus he composed a more spiritual Gospel for the use of those who were perfect. Later, at his death, he "left his writings to the church at Alexandria, where they are still closely guarded, and are read only to those who are initiated into the great mysteries." Nothing is known of this "secret Gospel of Mark" except a few quotations from it in the copy of Clement's letter.

Although the beginning of the list is fragmentary (as fragments), one may be certain that the Gospel according to Matthew is named first, and that the first line of the passage is correct, referring to Mark. The distorted sentence may have originally stated that Mark was not an eyewitness to all that he testified to, but that he wrote his Gospel on the testimony of one or more eyewitnesses.
Luke is unconditionally said to have been not an eyewitness but that some time after the Ascension, under the authority and as an assistant to the Apostle Paul, he wrote the third Gospel, beginning with the account of the birth of John the Baptist. Apart from his appointment as a physician (as in Col. 4:14), most of what is said about him seems to be taken from the prologue to his Gospel (Luke 1-4).
