Mother Of Mark Mary <ref name="term_36499" />
<p> [[Sister]] to [[Barnabas]] [[(Kjv,]] &nbsp;Colossians 4:10), or rather aunt, since anepsios means "cousin," not commonly "sister's son. (See [[Mark.)]] As Barnabas gave up his lands, so she her house at [[Jerusalem]] for the use of the church. Peter's resorting there immediately upon his release (&nbsp;Acts 12:12) shows her tried steadfastness and implies a bond of intimacy with her; so that he calls Mark his "son" (&nbsp;1 Peter 5:13). The house was one of the church's worship rooms (&nbsp;Acts 2:46; &nbsp;Acts 20:8, compare &nbsp;Acts 4:24; &nbsp;Acts 4:31); "there many were gathered together praying" for Peter's deliverance, and God "heard, while they were yet speaking" (&nbsp;Isaiah 65:24). Mark doubtless derived some of the straightforward, decided character which appears in his [[Gospel]] from her influence. His attachment to her was probably one cause of his return to Jerusalem from [[Perga]] (&nbsp;Acts 13:13). </p>
