Biblical Record
Mark accompanied Barnabas and Paul on their missionary travels.[2] Mark started with them on their first trip,[3] but left them partway through.[4] Later, when planning their second trip, Barnabas and Paul could not agree about whether Mark should accompany them again, so Barnabas and Mark separated from Paul.[5]
Later, Paul appears to have been reconciled to Mark, for he mentions him positively in
Identification

Biblical scholars Samuel Rolles Driver and Charles Augustus Briggs identified Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, with John Mark of Jerusalem,[8] as do John R. Donahue and Daniel J. Harrington.[9]
