An early Christian tradition deriving from Papias of Hierapolis (c.60–c.130 AD) [11] attributes authorship of the gospel to Mark, a companion and interpreter of Peter, but most scholars believe that it was written anonymously, [6] [12] and that the name of Mark was attached later to link it to an authoritative figure.

Mark the Evangelist wrote down the sermons of Peter, thus composing the Gospel according to Mark, [18] before he left for Alexandria in the third year of Claudius (AD 43). [ 19 ] According to the Acts 15:39, [ 20 ] Mark went to Cyprus with Barnabas after the Council of Jerusalem.
