I get the impression that there were a rather strong group of
conservatives in the Jerusalem congregations that thought circumcision
was necessary for male members of the churches and that certain
restrictions required that the uncircumcised and the circumcised not
eat at the same table. Paul disagreed with that. Christians who
thought like Paul on that issue, no doubt would find Mark's gospel to
be quite in line with their thinking. Luke tried to "heal" the
difference between the Jerusalem churches and the Gentile churches. I
think those of the Jerusalem churches, who differed with Paul, would
find Luke-Acts to be a soothing account of the relationship of Paul to
the Christians of Jerusalem. The controversy between the
pro-circumcision Christians of Jerusalem and the Gentile Christians was
real, and Luke did a rather successful job of picturing Jerusalem as
the "geographic source" of Christianity as opposed to Mark's picturing
Galilee as the "geographic source".

Both Peter and Paul were like most (if not all) Christians as they each
had their strengths and their weaknesses. Both also improved with age
(that is, with experience that comes with living and learning).
