The Church Fathers noticed that 2 Peter 5:13 has Peter refer to Mark as "my son." Unaware that Second Peter is a pseudepigraphical epistle, they assumed this either meant that Mark was indeed the son of Peter or at least that Peter held Mark in high esteem. A tradition subsequently arose that Mark wrote the second gospel based on the memoirs of Peter, although another early tradition was that Mark's Gospel was written as a summary of Matthew's Gospel (the evidence is that Mark's Gospel was actually written before Matthew).

Because we now know that 2 Peter was written long after the death of Peter, it can no longer be considered as evidence that Mark even knew Peter. Mark's Gospel was written before Matthew).

Apostle Mark's mentor was Peter because Peter was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus and was a prominent figure in the early Christian community. Peter likely took Mark under his wing to guide him in spreading the teachings of Jesus and in his ministry work.
