  2. Review • Matthew & 4 Gospels • What is unique about Matthew? • Teacher • Son of David; Messiah • New Moses • Fulfillment of OT • Son of God

  3. Mark Intro. • How does Mark portray Jesus? • Who wrote Mark? • Papias statement—Mark the interpreter of Peter • Why was Mark written? • Associated with Rome by Church Fathers • Writing for Christians struggling with living in Rome--suffering • The struggle is the heart of the gospel

  4. To Rome?

  5. The Second Gospel Outline • 1.1-13: Intro to Jesus Ministry • 1.14-8.30: Ministry of Jesus • 8.31-16.8: Passion of Jesus • Two sections of equal length—1/2 about the suffering/death of Christ—Why? • New Exodus of Isaiah Jesus is inaugurating

  6. A Key Verse • The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many Mark 10.45 • Isaiah’s suffering servant

  7. Key Themes of Mark • Mathew presents Jesus new Moses, son of David, teacher • How does Mark present Jesus? • Not just suffering alone • Jesus as triumphant (first half) • Balance humanity (suffering) and diety (triumphant)—2:5 • Jesus as divine man—toning it down via his suffering humanity

  8. Key Themes of Mark • Son of Man • Title comes out of Daniel 7 (not just humanity) = deity • Messianic Secret—don’t tell anyone • Why? • Disciples and discipleship twist—disciples portrayed more negative—no faith • Good news/Gospel Mark 1:1 –OT background (Isaiah) –Roman nuance

  9. Where does Mark end? • 16.8 • The shorter ending: “But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told. And after these things Jesus himself sent out through them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.” • The longer ending: see the NIV • Who is Mark writing to and how does this fit? Jesus presence and promise still
