Cairns, Earle E A History of the Christian
Church Page 76 Papias of Hierapolis 60-135AD
Expositions of the Oracles of the Lord   The
interpretations of the sayings of the Lord was
written about the middle of the second century by
Papias, the bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia, in
order to record the information that he had
received from older Christians who had know the
Apostles. It is possible that Papis had been a
disciple of John. The document deals with the
life and words of Christ. Although it has
disappeared, fragments of it are available in the
writings of Eusebius and Irenaeus. The fragment
preserved in Irenaeus writings gives clear
evidence of Papis strong millennial views. The
section preserved by Eusebius throws interesting
light on the origin of the gospels. He stated
that Mark was the interpreter of Peter and that
Matthew wrote his work in the Hebrew language.
These little excerpts are tantalizing to the
student who realizes the light that his complete
work would throw on the beliefs, life, and
literature of the New Testament.

680   Information about Marks later life is
dependent on early church tradition. Writing at
an early date, Papias, whose report is followed
by Clement of Alexandria, tells us that Mark
served as Peters interpreter in Rome and wrote
his gospel from Peters remembrances. Of his
physical appearance we are only told, rather
oddly, that Mark was stumpy fingered. Writing
at a later date about A.D. 325, the historian
Eusebius says that Mark was the first evangelist
to Egypt, the founder of the churches of
Alexandria, and the first bishop of that city.
So great were his converts, both in number in
sincerity of commitment, says Eusebius, that the
great Jewish philosopher, Philo, was amazed.
