Greek: Μάρκος ό Απολλονιάτης) was a figure in early
Christianity. He was the nephew of
Barnabas.
["Apostle Mark of the Seventy", Orthodox Church in America]
/ref> Tradition holds that he was bishop of Apollonia, and he is sometimes numbered among the Seventy Disciples. It was in his mother's house that the disciples sheltered after the Ascension of Jesus. He is generally held to be the same person as John Mark, Mark the cousin of Barnabas, and Mark the Apostle. He is commemorated in the Orthodox Church on October 30.[
