Who is husband_of_Mary in the Bible?

Mary's husband, the father of John Mark, appears in the Bible only indirectly and remains unnamed in Scripture. He is mentioned in Acts 12:12, which describes how Peter went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, after his miraculous release from prison. The biblical text does not provide the husband's name, and the fact that the house is identified as belonging to Mary rather than to him suggests he may have been deceased by the time of the early church's activities in Jerusalem. Mary herself became a notable figure in the Jerusalem Christian community, opening her home as a gathering place for believers to pray and fellowship. Though the husband remains largely unknown, his significance lies in being the father of John Mark, who became an important figure in early Christianity as a companion to Paul and Barnabas and the traditional author of the Gospel of Mark.
