  8. Style of Mark Vivid, fast-paced, action-packed narrative, with an authoritative Jesus completely in control.

  9. Style of Mark 1. Very simple Greek. 2. Fast-paced: Greek euthys immediately 42 times in Mark. Mark 1:10,12,18,20,21,23, 28,29, 30,42,43. 3. Use of historical present Mark 1:21 Q: Are you a man/woman of action—with a mission?

  10. Things To Look for in Mark 1. Authority of Jesus emphasized. Mark 1:25 2. People are amazed by Jesus. Mark 1:27 3. Attacks by Satan on Jesus and the disciples. 4. Jesus’ suffering, even before Jerusalem. 5. Outsiders becoming insiders 6. Apostles put in a relatively negative light. 7. Material about discipleship.

  11. Literary Style of Mark 1. Topical rather than chronological. 2. Intercalation (sandwiching) 3. Triads (things come in 3s) 4. Use of irony

  12. Literary Style of Mark 1. Topical, not chronological Examples: 1:21-45 demons being cast out. 2:1-3:6 controversy/authority emphasized 4:1-34 kingdom parallels 2. Intercalation Mark 3:20-35 rejected by family rejected by religious leaders rejected by family. Mark 5:21-43 Jarius woman healed Jarius Mark 11:12-25 fig tree Clears temple fig tree

  13. If Mark’s material is not chronological, does this bring inerrancy into question? Chicago Statement on Inerrancy: Article XIII. WE AFFIRM the propriety of using inerrancy as a theological term with reference to the complete truthfulness of Scripture. WE DENY that it is proper to evaluate Scripture according to standards of truth and error that are alien to its usage or purpose. We further deny that inerrancy is negated by Biblical phenomena such as a lack of modern technical precision, irregularities of grammar or spelling, observational descriptions of nature, the reporting of falsehoods, the use of hyperbole and round numbers, the topical arrangement of material, variant selections of material in parallel accounts, or the use of free citations.

  14. Literary Style of Mark 3. Triads 3 boat scenes 3 predictions of his death 3 denials 4. Irony Situational (not verbal) Irony Mark3:22f Mark 15:31-32

  15. I. Mark 1:1-13 Prologue Malachi 3:1 Isaiah 40:3 My messenger will prepare the way… A voice crying in the wilderness…. Elijah/John The Kingdom is at hand…

  16. Baptisms in the Jordan River

  17. Malachi 3:1, 4:5 A bridge from the Old to the New Testament The Kingdom of God is at hand…. The Messiah is here. Prophecy is fulfilled

  18. Mark 1:14-3:12The Kingdom of God Mark 1:14-20 The call of discipleship v. 18 at once… v. 20 without delay… Q: What is the point? Now that the kingdom of God has come, it is time for action. The things of the world are not important in the kingdom of God.

  19. Mark 1:21-45Jesus has great authority Mark 1:21-24 v. 22 amazement v. 22 authority. 1:24 irony. The demons believe before the disciples. 1:25 vs 1:43 more irony. Demons obey but the man does not. Q: Message for us? 1:35-39 Even a powerful godly man of action needs to pray.

  20. Mark 2:1-28Jesus has great authority Mark 2:1-12 Authority to forgive sins Mark 2:13-17 It doesn’t matter who you are, but whether you will answer the call. Mark 2:18-28 Authority even over the Sabbath/Law!!!!
