Mark 12

His Glory

Mark 12

The time of Jesus in the city of Jerusalem was short, but in Mark 12 He has time to deliver a few teachings. Jesus teaches the parable which appears to condemn the Temple officials and predict an end to the Jew’s place as the chosen people of God. He also explained the significance of sacrificing to God as well as what the greatest commandment is.

Mark 1

Mark 1 tells the story of Jesus’ adult life. Mark includes the story of John the Baptist, a man who baptized people in the Jordan River. John tells the people around him of the coming of a man who will be much more powerful than himself, saying that this man will baptize them a divine spirit, rather than water alone

Mark 2

Mark 2 focuses on one of the events from Jesus’ life when He was preaching and performing miracles. During this time there was a man who suffered from palsy who was brought to Jesus.

Mark 3

Mark 3 first addresses a conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees regarding healing on the Sabbath. It also talks about Jesus’ naming of the twelve Apostles.
