Meet John Mark.
A coworker who gets another opportunity.
Who was John Mark?
John Mark, also called Mark, was connected with the early church in Jerusalem and travelled with missionaries. Acts records a disagreement about taking him on another journey. He is distinct from John son of Zebedee.
Barnabas wanted to take Mark again after an earlier departure. Later a letter describes Mark as useful in ministry, showing that one difficult episode need not define a whole life.
