    Papias - Bishop of Hierapolis in Asia Minor
    (60-130 AD)
    • Papias gives also in his own work other accounts of the
    words of the Lord on the authority of Aristion who was
    mentioned above, and traditions as handed down by the
    presbyter John; to which we refer those who are fond of
    learning. But now we must add to the words of his which
    we have already quoted the tradition which he gives in
    regard to MARK, the author of the Gospel.
    • "This also the presbyter said: Mark, having become the interpreter
    of Peter, wrote down accurately, though not indeed in order,
    whatsoever he remembered of the things done or said by Christ.
    For he neither heard the Lord nor followed him, but afterward, as
    I said, he followed Peter, who adapted his teaching to the needs of
    his hearers, but with no intention of giving a connected account of
    the Lord's discourses, so that Mark committed no error while he
    thus wrote some things as he remembered them. For he was
    careful of one thing, not to omit any of the things which he had
    heard, and not to state any of them falsely." These things are
    related by Papias concerning Mark.
