ANSWER: Mark the Evangelist [or Saint Mark; accept John Mark or Iōannēs Markos; accept Secret Gospel of Mark; reject “John” alone]
[10m] The gospels according to Matthew and Luke are often theorized to have used Mark as a source and thus the three are paired together under this adjective, which is Greek for “seeing together.”
