First letter of Peter 5:13

She [your sister church here] in Babylon [may be a symbolic name for Rom], chosen together with you, sends greetings, and so does my son (disciple) Mark.
[This verse can be read literally or interpreted:
She may refer to the church where Peter is located or a specific woman, perhaps Peter's wife. Babylon may be the city of Babylon on the river Euphrates or a code name for Rom. Mark may be Peter's real son or his spiritual son. Since the expression "chosen together with you" is used, it is most natural that "she" refers to the congregation to which Peter is writing this letter. Early manuscripts sometimes have the addition "the congregation," which indicates that this was the first interpretation. In that case, it is also likely that Mark is not Peter's physical son but refers to the author of the Gospel of Mark, John Mark, who has many details from Peter's experiences with Jesus. Peter was also well acquainted with Mark since the early days of the church in Jerusalem, see Acts 12:12. Mark is often in Rom, see Col. 4:10, which also suggests that Babylon is a code name for Rom.
Those who advocate a more literal interpretation point out that Peter was married, see Matt. 8:14; 1 Cor. 9:5, and this may refer to his wife. Peter probably had children of his own, and perhaps a son named Mark. The introduction to the letter mentions several real places, see 1 Pet. 1:1. However, Babylon was in ruins at that time, and no other sources indicate that Peter was there, which supports a symbolic interpretation.]
