1 Peter 5:13

13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

Peace be to you all who are in Christ.

The reference to Babylon may refer to a church in Rome.1  Mark is no doubt Peter’s spiritual son and the writer of the Gospel of Mark.
