  3. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • Mark is the smallest of the gospels and has only 16 chapters. • Mark is easily divided up into 7 sections using 6 transitional paragraphs. THE UNIQUENESS OF MARK

  4. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • “JOHN” MARK is his name. John being the Hebrew name, while Mark is the Roman name. • Sermons of Peter taken down by John Mark. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  5. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • “JOHN” MARK is the son of someone called “MARY”, a woman of prominence in the discipleship of Jesus Christ (Acts 12:12). THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  6. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • “JOHN” MARK was probably born in Jerusalem, and would have been bathed in the Jewish Temple culture (Acts 12:12). THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  7. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • In first century Jerusalem there was much talk but little action – a lot of religious fodder but very little practical movement on the Kingdom of God. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  8. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • Mark is mentioned: • Acts 12:12-25 • Colossians4:10 • Acts 13:5, 13 • 2 Timothy 4:11 • 1 Peter 5:13 • He is the one who was the object of contention between Paul and Barnabas. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  9. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 12:11-17 When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the LORD has sent His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”

  10. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 12:11-17 When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was MARK, where many were gathered together and were praying.

  11. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 12:11-17 And when he knocked on the door of the gateway a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. Recognizing Peter’s voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran and reported that Peter

  12. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 12:11-17 was standing at the gate. They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is an angel.” But Peter continued knocking, and when

  13. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 12:11-17 they opened, they saw him and were amazed. But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the LORD had brought him out of the prison. And he said,

  14. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 12:11-17 “Tell these things to James and to the other brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place. (Probably to keep them out of danger when the authorities would come looking.)

  15. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • John Mark likely experienced this remarkable incident firsthand. This truly was the action that Jesus started containing in the lives of the Apostles. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  16. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Colossians 4:10 “Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and MARK the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions– if he comes to you welcome him)…” (This is the same Mark that caused such contention between Paul and Barnabas.)

  17. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 15:37-41 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the LORD and see how they are.”

  18. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 15:37-41 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark. But Paul thought is best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone…

  19. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 15:37-41 with them to the work. And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, but Paul…

  20. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 15:37-41 chose Silas and departed having been commended by the brothers to the grace of the LORD. And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

  21. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • MARK seems to be a man who was busy in other affairs besides the missions’ trips that Paul desired. • Many times division comes in the church from method of evangelism not purpose. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  22. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 13:4-5 So being sent out by the HOLY SPIRIT they went down to Seleucia, and from their they sailed to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the WORD of God…

  23. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 13:4-5 in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

  24. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • John Mark had much exposure to Paul’s preaching as well as Peter’s preaching and teaching. This helped his background for the Roman mind when writing the gospel. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  25. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR 2 Timothy 4:9-11 “Do your best to come to me soon. For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia. Titus to Dalmatia.

  26. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR 2 Timothy 4:9-11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for my ministry.”

  27. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • Paul blesses MARK and his ministry in his last written words. Any stigma related to the disagreement between Paul and Barnabas upon Mark is lifted by Paul. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  28. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR 1 Peter 5:13 “By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen,

  29. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR 1 Peter 5:13 sends you greetings, and so does Mark my son...”

  30. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • Peter calls John Mark his “son” probably because John Mark was brought to Christ through Peter. This is strong evidence that the contents of Mark’s gospel comes from Peter. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  31. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • Mark’s gospel was probably written from Rome or Antioch. • Mark, being written to the Romans and the Gentiles, had a dilemma for which he seemed to be concerned (look at Acts 11:19-22). THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  32. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 11:19-22 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the WORD to NO ONE except the Jews...

  33. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 11:19-22 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also preaching the LORD JESUS. And the hand of the LORD was with them...

  34. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION MARK, THE AUTHOR Acts 11:19-22 and a great number who believed turned to the LORD. The report of this came to the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, and they sent BARNABAS to Antioch.”

  35. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATIONS • It is very possible that when Barnabas went to Antioch, Mark went with him. Mark was his nephew. Upon seeing the affect of Jesus, Mark is called to write the gospel that bears his name for the Romans. THE AUTHOR OF MARK

  39. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION The ministry of Jesus Christ Mark 1:1-13 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were…

  40. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION The ministry of Jesus Christ Mark 1:1-13 going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts

  41. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION The ministry of Jesus Christ Mark 1:1-13 and wild honey. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie…

  42. New TESTAMENT FOUNDATION The ministry of Jesus Christ Mark 1:1-13 I have baptized you with water but He will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT.” In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
