    Digital Commons @ George Fox University Faculty Publications - College of Christian Studies College of Christian Studies 2019 Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas (Pt. 2) Paul N. Anderson Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/ccs Part of the Christianity Commons News and Interpretations on the Bible and Ancient Near East History. "Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas" (Pt. 2) By Paul N. Anderson George Fox University Newberg, Oregon April 2019 Following on the first two episodes of the History Channel’s “Jesus: His Life,” focusing on perspectives of Joseph and John the Baptist, the second installment continues the hybrid approach, reflecting on the life of Jesus from the perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas. The opening episode features Jesus visiting Jerusalem as a twelve-year old, as portrayed in Luke 2. Beginning with Mary and her memory of the infancy and childhood of Jesus, things move forward quickly into the story of his engaging the Jewish authorities in the temple. While nothing else is known about the childhood and early adulthood of Jesus, the memory of his engaging religious authorities in Jerusalem must have influenced Mary’s impression of his mission and special calling in life. The episode tracks with the traditional view that Joseph may have died before the ministry of Jesus began, which would have led to his working as a carpenter to support the family. Along these lines, several conjectures of tensions between Jesus and his brother are presented. First, his brothers may have resented his ministry-related departure—imposing on them to provide for the family’s welfare.

  • MARK CHAPTER 6 Discussion Starter O Are
    RCC LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION (FACILITATOR) MARK CHAPTER 6 Discussion Starter o Are there any commands of Jesus that you are aware of that you simply do not like to do/follow? If so, what are they and why don’t you like doing them/following them? o “I need a God who is bigger and more nimble and mysterious than what I could understand and contrive. Otherwise it can feel like I am worshipping nothing more than my own ability to understand the divine.” ▪ What do you think this quote means? Do you think that this quote is accurate when it comes to walking with Jesus? Opening Prayer o Ask if someone wants to volunteer before leading the prayer Tell the Story Read the Story (Mark 6:1-56) o Read out loud as a group, 5 verses per person. Let everyone know they can opt out if they would like. Breaking it Down o All questions should be utilized as appropriate based upon group dynamics to facilitate both understanding and discussion. Don’t feel tied to the questions and don’t feel like you have to get through every question. Follow the Spirit’s lead!

  • 1 Jesus: a Prophet Without Honor Mark 6:1-6 Introduction: 1) It Is A
    1 Jesus: A Prophet Without Honor Mark 6:1-6 Introduction: 1) It is a well known statement and saying made popular by Jesus: “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country.” He would make this statement on more than one occasion (Luke 4:24; John 4:44). Applied to you or me it may be the occasion for a moment of sadness and disappointment. Applied to Jesus, it is an event of tragic and eternal consequences that even causes our Savior to “marvel” at such unbelief. (6:6). 2) This is Jesus second recorded, and His last, visit to his hometown of Nazareth as far as we know. His previous homecoming, recorded in Luke 4:16-30, did not go well at all. Initially impressed by his preaching (4:22), the town he grew up in turned on him, became enraged, and attempted to murder Him (4:28-30). In spite of such treatment Jesus returns, this time with his 12 disciples. It will be a painful training time. Perhaps He is hopeful that things will be different this time. Unfortunately, He will be disappointed again. 3) As we consider how Jesus was treated by His own hometown, His own family and friends, it might be good for us to reflect upon how we see Jesus, how we treat this Servant-King, how we respond to the One who was rejected by those who were certain they knew Him best. It is critically important we see Jesus as He truly is, as He is revealed in Scripture; not as we might hope, wish or want Him to be.

  • The 260 Journey Mark 6 LIMITING JESUS Welcome to the 260
    The 260 Journey Mark 6 LIMITING JESUS Welcome to the 260 Journey. This is our journey through the New Testament and our reading takes us to Mark 6 today. No one would disagree that Jesus had all the potential to heal anyone, anywhere, anytime. Can you imagine having the Person that could heal you, your child, your family or your marriage right there in your town and NOTHING happens? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Limiting Jesus. We have only 2 times that Jesus is shocked in the Gospels and both have to deal with the issue of faith. The word “wonder” or “marveled” in the Gospels means to be shocked. It happens to Jesus twice. One is in Matthew, HE WAS SHOCKED AT THE GREAT FAITH OF A ROMAN CENTURION FOR A SERVANT WHO WAS PARALYZED. The centurion said to Jesus, “Just say the word and my servant will be healed.” Matthew 8:10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. And one other time Jesus is shocked and it’s here in Mark 6. But a different kind of shocked. In a negative way in His hometown. Mark 6:5-6 (NASB) 5 And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He wondered at their unbelief. The unbelief was not from a Roman pagan but from the people that saw Jesus as a boy and grew up with Him.

  • Mark 6:7-13,30-32
    Session 5 Sends Jesus commissions His followers to point others to Him. Mark 6:7-13,30-32 44 EXPLORE THE BIBLE What about your job matters to someone else—maybe someone you’ll never meet? How does that affect the way you approach what you do? You get up in the morning, shower, and head to work. Hopefully, at the end of your day you finish with a sense of satisfaction. When you do something that matters for someone else, you know that your job is not just a job. It makes a difference. During His time on earth, Jesus prepared the disciples for a task that really mattered. It still does. When we fulfill His mission, we’re making a difference. UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT Jesus demonstrated His power over things people truly fear. His miracles reinforced His message about the kingdom of God. His disciples had been witnesses to it all. They had heard Jesus’ parables and received instruction that others did not receive (Mark 4:1-20). They had seen Jesus calm a storm (4:35-41) and cast out demons (5:1-13)—proving He was Lord over both the natural and the supernatural. They had been there when He healed a woman (5:25-34). Peter, James, and John were present when Jesus did the unthinkable—He raised someone from the dead (5:35-43). Along with acclaim, Jesus also faced rejection. Mark 6 opens with the account of Jesus’ homecoming to Nazareth. Instead of seeing Jesus for who He is, the residents of Nazareth could only see Him for what they thought He should be.

  • The Arrest and Six Trials of Jesus
    The Arrest and Six Trials of Jesus Written by: D. Eddie Bhawanie Understanding the timing of Jesus’ arrest and trials can be difficult and confusing— unless we have an understanding of the way time was counted then. The beginning and ending of the New Testament era’s twenty-four-hour day was different from ours. While our day goes from midnight to midnight, their day went from 6:00 in the evening to 6:00 the following evening. During New Testament times, the time of the night was told not in hours but in watches, which were three-hour periods. Nighttime had four watches: the “first watch,” 6 to 9 P.M.; the “second watch,” 9 P.M. to midnight; the “third watch,” midnight to 3 A.M.; and the “fourth watch,” 3 to 6 A.M. Daytime began at 6 A.M., and was divided into twelve individual hours. So, for example, the “third hour” would be 9 A.M. and the “ninth hour” would be 3 P.M. Having a grasp of these distinctions will provide the modern reader a clearer perspective of how intense, and relentlessly cruel Jesus’ six trials were at the hands of the Jews and the Romans. According to John’s Gospel Jesus’ painful ordeal begins with His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, near the Kidron valley. Judas, one of The Masters’ disciples, the betrayer, knows this garden well as a place Jesus had often gone with all His disciples, and Judas maliciously leads a group of soldiers there to capture Jesus (John 18:1-11).

Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

    Christ Episcopal Church Bible Study – by Scott Kitayama. Mark 6:1-13 (NRSV) 6He left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They said, “Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands! 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. 4 Then Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house.” 5 And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went about among the villages teaching. 7 He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; 9 but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. 10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. 11 If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.

  • Mark 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Mark 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable WRITER The writer did not identify himself by name anywhere in this Gospel. This is true of all four Gospels. "The title, 'According to Mark' (… [kata Markon]), was probably added when the canonical gospels were collected and there was need to distinguish Mark's version of the gospel from the others. The gospel titles are generally thought to have been added in the second century but may have been added much earlier. Certainly we may say that the title indicates that by A.D. 125 or so an important segment of the early church thought that a person named Mark wrote the second gospel."1 There are many statements of the early church fathers that identify the "John Mark" who is frequently mentioned in the New Testament as the writer. The earliest reference of this type is in Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History (ca. A.D. 326).2 Eusebius quoted Papius' Exegesis of the Lord's Oracles (ca. A.D. 140), a work now lost. Papius quoted "the Elder," probably the Apostle John, who said the following things about this Gospel: Mark wrote it, though he was not a disciple of Jesus during Jesus' ministry or an eyewitness of Jesus' ministry. He accompanied the Apostle Peter and listened to his preaching. He based his Gospel on the eyewitness account and spoken ministry of Peter. 1Donald A. Carson and Douglas J. Moo, An Introduction to the New Testament, p. 172. See ibid, pp. 726-43 for a brief discussion of the formation of the New Testament canon.
