Although there are some differences among the gospels, Mark not was one of the disciples who followed Jesus. For simplicity, this is based on the miracles recorded in Mark's Gospel.
The apostle Mark could not have observed the miracle of the voice out of heaven at the baptism of Jesus, in fact none of the disciples is reported as being present; nor the Transfiguration; the tearing of the Temple veil; nor the empty tomb. Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, with no appearance to the disciples of the risen Jesus (although the other gospels do record some appearances). He did not observe the revivication of the daughter (Mark 5:41-2). He does not seem to have seen the exorcism of Mary Magdalene. The cure of the pagan woman's daughter (Mark 7:25) was performed in absentee, so neither Jesus nor any of the disciples saw this miracle. He could not have really known whether the miracle of the issue of blood (Mark 5:25)was a miracle, as no evidence is provided as to her prior condition, nor that she was really cured.
According to the record of the Gospel According to St Mark, the apostles could have watched or observed the remaining eleven of the nineteen miracles in this Gospel. Further miracles are reported in other gospels, none of which Mark may also have observed.
