Mark was not an Apostle; he was a follower (disciple) of Peter (his uncle) who later traveled with Paul and Barnabus. He wrote this Gospel around 70 AD making it one of the earliest written. It appears to be writing to all believers and narrates the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death and resurrection. He quotes some scripture but mostly to tell the story of Jesus and his ministry. His writings may or may not have been firsthand accounts but they were inspired by the Holy Ghost. He quotes hardly any scripture writers, in fact only three, Malachi, Isaiah, and Psalm: (not including what Jesus quoted). However there are many references to OT Scripture if not Direct Quotes, obviously inspired by the H.S.
