  7. Introduction • Was very likely written by John Mark (cousin of Barnabas who deserted Paul on first journey). • Is the shortest gospel in length. • Was probably the first written (AD 55-70). • Is 93% duplicated in other gospels (only 7% unique material).

  8. Introduction—Cont’d • Was written for Romans. • Explains Jewish customs. • Uses Latin expressions. • Quotes O.T. only three times. • Presents Jesus as a conqueror—of storms, demons, disease, and death.

  9. Introduction—Cont’d • Has been called “a moving picture of the ministry of Jesus.” (Master Study Bible) • Uses word “immediately” often. • Records more works than words. • Includes over one half of miracles. • Includes only one fourth of parables. • Uses vivid, picturesque language. • Provides additional (personal) details for some events.

  10. 4 8 12 16 To give His life To minister Introduction—Cont’d • Mark presents Jesus as one who came to serve us and die for us. (Mark 10:45 NKJV) "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Jesus, the Servant of God • Theme: • His life:

  11. Approach • We will focus on what we can apply to our lives. • We will note what we can learn about His life. • We will take His life event by event. • Miracles • Parables • Other “encounters”

  12. Miracles • Mark records over half of Jesus’ miracles. • He records Jesus’ power: • Over nature • Over disease • Over death We can see the laws of nature suspended.

  13. Parables • Mark presents few of Jesus’ “formal parables.” • He gives us more intimate insights into other discussions. We can listen to the greatest teachings the world has ever heard.

  14. Other encounters • Mark gives over 20 different reactions to Jesus. • We can imagine what it would be like to be there as an observer—or as one who spoke with Jesus. These are wonderful opportunities to see the qualities of our Lord at work in His life.

  15. Outline • Preliminaries and Beginning of Ministry (1:1-13) • Ministry in Galilee (1:14-6:52) • Ministry Outside Galilee (6:53-9:50) • Journey to Jerusalem (10:1-52) • In Jerusalem—The Final Week (11:1-15:47) • The Post-Resurrection Period (16:1-20)
