“Marcus” was John Mark, the author of the second gospel.

Peter was known to have traveled extensively in the area known as Babylon to the people of Jerusalem. There was no longer a city there called Babylon, it was sacked long before, but the name referred to the general area now called Turkey and Syria.

Isn’t that speculation?

Where can I find that?

I thought it was in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now known as Iraq?

Anyway, I believe the destruction of ancient Babylon was prophesied in Isaiah 13 & 14 and Jeremiah 50 & 51.
