Works Liturgy The Divine Liturgy of James the Holy Apostle and Brother of the Lord Introduction and Elucidations to the Early Liturgies

I.

(Disciple of the holy Peter, [352]p. 551.)

The early use of the originals of this liturgy in the Alexandrian patriarchate accounts for its bearing the name of St. Mark,--"sister's son to Barnabas," as St. Paul calls him. 1 That he was St. Peter's pupil may be inferred from that Apostle's language, 2 --"Marcus, my son." See Clement's testimony concerning him (with Eusebius) in vol. ii. [353]pp. 579, 580, this series. That he founded the "Evangelical See," though resting on great historic authority, 3 seems to be doubted in our times by some.
