His mentor was Irenaeus, whose mentor was Polycarp, whose mentor was John the apostle. What reason do you have to doubt the names that he lists for the seventy ordained by Jesus in Luke 10? John wrote: > Use him for an authority if you wish. > I don't Upon what authority do you base your perspective that Mark was not around during Christ's ministry? I caution you not to embellish upon second hand theories that you read from theologians in such a way that it would cause you to reject primary historical documents. Peace be with you.
