Mary - Hebrew Miriam. Mary the mother of John Mark was one of the earliest of our Lord's disciples. She was the sister of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10), and joined with him in disposing of their land and giving the proceeds of the sale into the treasury of the Church (Acts 4:37; Acts 12:12). Her house in Jerusalem was the common meeting-place for the disciples there.
