Who was John Mark?

Acts 12:12 (ESV)

12 When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

John Mark is the cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10) and very possibly the young man mentioned in Mark 14:51–52. He will join Barnabas and Saul on their mission work in Cyprus and southern Galatia (Acts 12:25; Acts 13:5, Acts 13:13; Acts 15:37–39).1
