In the last study we began looking at Mark's text about the beheading of John the Baptist. On that occasion we looked at verses 14 to 18 of chapter 6. In the verses that we are looking at today, we will see what led to John being beheaded.
Mark interrupts the mission that the twelve disciples were sent on to tell us about the beheading of John the Baptist
In this passage we see the twelve disciples sent out on a mission by Jesus.
In this passage we see astonishment by the people and astonishment by Jesus but for different reasons.
In this passage we see the power of Jesus over sickness and death, two healings involving touch and we have two lost causes.
In this story we see a man tormented by the forces of Hell bringing chaos to his life and we see Jesus conquering those forces and restoring order
This story contains three themes: extremes, rebukes and faith versus fear. It also contains another example of Jesus' authority.
In this study I will be looking at three parables spoken by Jesus about the Kingdom of God and I will explain what they mean.
Jesus tells the parable to the crowd and then He gives a private explanation to His disciples. In this study I will be concentrating mainly on the explanation.
In this passage two accusations are made against Jesus. The first one comes from those close to Him. And the second one comes from the scribes (religious leaders). And finally, the passage ends with a sober warning from Jesus.
