His Glory

Mark

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.

Mark 4

In Mark 4 we learn about the way Jesus taught those who followed Him. Jesus used parables so as to try and relate better with the people. Through simple stories and practical examples He tried to make things clearer to His disciples and the people who gathered to hear Him.

Mark 5

In Mark 5 Jesus demonstrates to the crowd more of His power. In this chapter he performs a miracle in which he expels demons.

Mark 6

Mark 6 describes Jesus’ return to His hometown. He continues preaching his ministry, healing people and performing miracles. He also sends the disciples away to preach on their own. The chapter also covers the beheading of John the Baptist, the feeding of five thousand people and Jesus walking on water.

Mark 7

The conflict between the Jewish tradition and Jesus teachings continue in Mark 7. In this chapter Jesus states that what one eats does not necessarily define what that person feels or thinks.

Mark 8

Mark 8 includes the feeding of many people with barely any bread or fish and the healing of a blind man.

Mark 9

In Mark 9 Jesus reveals his true nature to a number of apostles after which He continues to perform miracles and further predicts his death.

Mark 10

Mark 10 describes Jesus and the disciples preaching on the road. They were on their way to Jerusalem and Jesus went before them as a leader who was not afraid and preached with authority. This inspired and awed the disciples and all who heard His words

Mark 11

There are four main events that transpire in Mark 11. First there is the triumphant entry that Jesus makes to Jerusalem, the cursing of the fig tree, the clearing of sinful activities in the temple and lastly the challenging of Jesus authority.

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 13

Mark 13 chronicles Jesus’ discussion with Peter, James, John and Andrew as they leave the great temple. Jesus notes the beauty of the temple and also points out at some time in the future the structure will be destroyed. Jesus then proceeds to sit on a mountain near the temple, and his disciples ask him about the destruction that he speaks of.

Mark 14

Mark 14 begins two days before the fest of Unleavened Bread. The Temple officials want to have Jesus arrested and put to death, but not during the festivities, as they fear the people will object.

Mark 15

In Mark 15, four critical things happen in the life of Jesus. This includes the bringing of Jesus to Pilate by the Jews, His mockery by the soldiers, His crucifixion and death, and His burial. This chapter takes us through the hardest part of His life and all the suffering that He was put through
