Acts 12:12, 25; 13:5,
13; 15:36-41 “Peter
came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark;
where many were gathered together praying.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they
had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the
synagogues of the Jews: and they
had also John(Mark) to their minister.
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came
to Perga in Pamphylia: and John(Mark) departing form them returned to
Jerusalem. And Barnabas
determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from
them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder
one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto
Cyprus; And Paul chose Silas, and departed through Syria and
Cilicia.” (Colossians 4:10) “Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas.”
(II Timothy 4:11) “Only Luke is with me(Paul).
Take Mark, and bring him with thee (Timothy): for he is
profitable to me for the ministry.” (Philemon 23-24) “There salute
thee Epaphras, Marchus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas,
my fellowlaborers.” (I Peter 5:13) “The church that is at
Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my
son.” (Author of the Gospel of Mark!)

“Then came he(Paul)to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was
there, name Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess,
and believed; but his father was a Greek: Which was well reported of by the
brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. Him(Timothy) would Paul
have to go forth with him.”(I Thessalonians 1:1; 2:6) “Paul,
Silvanus(Silas) and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians,
as the apostles of Christ.” (I Timothy 4:14) “(Timothy)Neglect
not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying
on of the hands of the presbytery.” (II Timothy 1:6) “Wherefore I(Paul)
thee(Timothy)in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in
thee by the putting on of my hands.”
13.

23-24) “There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ
Jesus; Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my
fellowlaborers.”
14.
Acts 18:5
“When Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was

“Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; and found a certain
Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Pricilla;
and because he(Paul)was of the same craft, he abode with them, and
wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
And Paul then took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into
Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquilla;
And Apollos began to speak boldly in the synagogue; whom when Aquila
and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto him, and expounded unto him
the way of God more perfectly.” (Romans 16:3) “Greet Prisilla and
Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:” (I Corinthians 16:19) “The
churches of Asia salute you. Aquila
and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in
their house.” (II Timothy 4:19) “Salute Prisca and Aquila,
and the household of Onesiphrous.”
16.

“And there accompanied him(Paul)into Asia Sopater of Berea; and
of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of
