Mark the Evangelist 

An extensive account of his life was written by Severus, Bishop of Al-Ushmunain[?], in the 10th century. According to this account, Mark was the nephew of Barnabas, who was cousin to Peter's wife. Mark was one of the servants at the wedding feast at Cana[?] who poured out the water that Jesus Christ turned to wine. This is Jesus' first public miracle (a story, however, not related in the Gospel of Mark!). Mark was one of the Seventy Apostles sent out by Christ; he was the servant who carried water to the house of Simon the Cyrenian, where the Last Supper took place; and Mark was the one who entertained the disciples in his house after the death of Jesus, and into whose house the resurrected Jesus Christ came, although all the doors were shut.

The following details are also based on Severus' account. He eventually went to Alexandria and was the first to preach the Gospel there. He is said to have performed many miracles, and established a church there, appointing a bishop, three priests, and seven deacons. Years later when he returned, the people of Alexandria are said to have resented his efforts to turn them away from the worship of their traditional Egyptian gods, and killed him, and tried to burn his body. Afterwards, the Christians in Alexandria removed his unburned body from the ashes, and wrapped it and buried it in the eastern part of the church they had built.

However, the first reports of his execution by burning date to the 4th century and are considered apocryphal by many church historians.
