The Forty-nine Steps 11 - 20: Step 16

http://onerahistjamesmk11-20.blogspot.com/p/step-16.html

The Forty-nine Steps 11 - 20. Mark 6:1-13 The Hometown Carpenter. Mark is more concerned to show the real problems that all apostles face, and in his practical fashion does so with less words and more examples. Verse 11 has the words. The surrounding examples are of Jesus (Mark 6:1-6) and then John the Baptist (see the next section, Mark 6:14-29), each in their own way rejected for being sent by God. Ible: Mark 6:1-13, The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth. What is this wisdom that has been given to him?

The Forty-nine Steps 11 - 20. Mark 6:14-29 Was it a Wasted Life. In today's story Mark draws attention to Herod's crazy promise. To Herodias by repeating it. "The king said to the girl, 'Ask me whatever you. Wish and I will give it.' And he solemnly swore to her, 'Whatever you ask. Me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom'.". Such a promise was obviously immoderate and ridiculous. Mark shows us. Here what he thinks about a later request made to Jesus in very similar terms, when. Omment: WAS IT A WAST...

The Forty-nine Steps 11 - 20. Mark 5:21-34 Faith Gets His Attention. The importance of women in the ministry of Jesus might go unnoticed. To us, but certainly not to Mark's first readers. Mark gives high and. Unusual prominence to women throughout his story; perhaps reflecting the. Honour given to his mother by the early Christians. This occurs again and again, and. Especially in events surrounding Christ's death and resurrection. Such prejudice and discrimination, where men and women were segregated.

The Forty-nine Steps 31 - 40. Mark 13:1-23; 32-37 Take Care! We have frequently observed connections in Mark's story with. The earlier history of God's revelation documented in the Old Testament. Mark was profoundly aware that the events he reported, were signficant in. A scope of time much greater than his own, perhaps even greater than he could contemplate. Already God's interventions in human history had spanned very many centuries,. Many more. Could they have anticipated over two millenia? Equally cu...

http://onerahistjamesmksteps1-10.blogspot.com/p/step-9.html

The Forty-nine Steps 1 - 10. Mark 3:7-35 The Crowds Around Christ. Today's section of Mark mentions the so-called "unpardonable sin" -. Which has often troubled people. Pay careful attention to the words of Jesus. Verse 28 confirms that "all sins can be forgiven". There is no such thing as an. Unpardonable sin. The topic is introduced here because, as verse 30 states, some people. Were saying that Jesus had an evil spirit (see also verse 22). At the beginning of his Gospel Mark had described Jesus being.

The Forty-nine Steps 41 - 49. Mark 16:1-8 A Hair-raising "He Is Risen! The earliest versions of Mark's Gospel conclude as we have, at vs.8, the day the resurrection is discovered in Jerusalem. The other three Gospels, and other endings later attached to Mark, take the story onwards to other events, both in Jerusalem and Galilee (see 7) in the seven weeks leading up to Pentecost. Ible: Mark 16:1-8, The Resurrection of Jesus. 1 When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Sa...

Ible: Mark 6:30-44, Feeding the Five Thousand. 38 And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Omment: THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. Then as it grows late, again like the shepherd, Jesus "prepares a table for them" (Ps.23:5). Mark especially notes the "green grass" (39) upon which the crowd is instructed to ...All o...

The Forty-nine Steps 11 - 20. Mark 5:35-43 Gracious Power. This is the first incident where the inner three - Peter, James, and John - witness something unseen by others. We may assume we have Peter's recollections here, indicated by the quotation of the words that Jesus spoke to the girl, "Talitha cum! These words in Aramaic, the everyday language of Palestinian Jews at the time, seem forever engraved in Peter's memory, recalled every time he told this story. 42 And immediately the girl got up and began...
