Who wrote the book of Mark?
John Mark wrote the book of Mark. He was closely linked with the Apostle Barnabas and was his cousin.
If you recall in Scripture John Mark ran away when times in ministry were tough, and this caused a divide between the Apostles Paul and Barnabas.
But in the latter end of The Apostle Paul's ministry he requested that Mark be sent for, because he was "needful".
This illustrates the redemptive power of God for all of us, for we are changed to be more like God as we yield to His Holy Spirit.

Acts 15:36-41
36 Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.” 37 Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark. 38 But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work. 39 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, being [n]commended by the brethren to the grace of God. 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
