Mark 6 (56 verses) v. 1-3 Some people who knew best, were the most offended with Him. Mark 6:3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. NIV v. 5-6 Jesus was somehow limited by the unbelief of the people. v. 14-16 King Herod had Beheaded. Mark 6:14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him." 15 Others said, "He is Elijah." And still others claimed, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago." 16 But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!" NIV v. 20 The Truth of 's Word touches your inner man. Mark 6:20 When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him. NIV v. 48-51 Jesus Had Authority over Nature. Mark 6:48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, NIV v. 53 Jesus is still the Healer. Mark 6:53 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed. NIV

Mark 7 (37 verses) v. 1-5 Jesus confronted and broke the Traditions of the Elders. :3 (The and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.) 5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?" NIV v. 13 Jesus said that the traditions of men can nullify God’s Word. Mark 7:13 Do you really think God will honor your traditions passed down to others, making up these rules that nullify God’s Word? Passion 1. The Talmud is a collection of writings that covers the full gamut of Jewish law and tradition, compiled and edited between the third and sixth centuries. Talmud is Hebrew for "learning." Two versions, the Talmud and Babylonian Talmud. 2. The main text of the Talmud is the Mishnah, a collection of oral teachings written in Hebrew, in the years following the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. v. 14-23 What defiles a Person? What about eating non-Kosher food? Mark 7:16 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them." 17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) 20 He went on: "What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person." NIV * “(In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)” NIV (Luke 11:41, Acts 10:15, Acts 11:9) * “purging all meats” KJV “purging G2511 “kath-ar-id'-zo“ “to make clean, cleanse” “to pronounce clean in a levitical sense“ Thayer’s Greek Dictionary * “Thus He was making and declaring all foods [ceremonially] clean [that is, abolishing the ceremonial distinctions of the Levitical Law].” AMPC * “This he said, making all meats clean.” ASV * “He said this, making all food clean.” BBE * “By saying this, Jesus meant that all foods were fit to eat.” CEV * “(Thus he declared all foods ritually clean.)” Complete Jewish * “(When Jesus said this, he meant there is no food that is wrong for people to eat.)” ERV * “(Thus he declared all foods clean.)” ESV * “(In saying this, Jesus declared that all foods are fit to be eaten.)” GNB * “(By saying this, Jesus declared all foods acceptable.)” GW * “(By this he declared all foods clean.)” ISV * “In saying this, Jesus was calling all foods "clean." NIrV * “This he said, making all meats clean.” RV * “cleansing all foods.” TLV * “(This means all foods are clean.)” Passion * “purifying all the meats.'” Young’s Literal

Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. NIV v. 31-36 Back in Legion’s area, a very odd healing method is used for a deaf man with a speech impediment, that would be socially unacceptable today. (38 verses) v. 14-17 Jesus Warns of the Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod. Mark 8:14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 "Be careful," Jesus warned them. "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod." 16 They discussed this with one another and said, "It is because we have no bread." 17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? NIV

Mark 8:15 Jesus repeatedly warned them, “Be on your guard against the yeast inside of the Pharisees and the yeast inside of Herod!” Passion v. 22-25 Jesus spit on the eyes of a blind man, prays twice and heals him. Mark 8:22 They came to , and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" 24 He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. NIV v. 27-29 Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?" 28 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets." 29 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the ." NIV

Mark 9 (50 verses) v. 1 Some of you won’t die until you’ve seen the Kingdom come with power. v. 2-7 The . :2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and , who were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter said to Jesus, ", it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) 7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" NIV v. 11-13 Was John the Baptist Elijah the Prophet? v. 17-24 Lord, I do believe. Please help me overcome my unbelief. Mark 9:17 A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not." 19 "You unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me." 20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?" "From childhood," he answered. 22 "It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." 23 "'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes." 24 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" NIV v. 43-48 One of the Bible’s clearest descriptions of Hell. Mark 9:43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where "'the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.' NIV

Mark 10 (52 verses) v. 1-9 God's plan for marriage and the Bride of Christ. Mark 10:6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 7 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." NIV v. 13-16 Jesus Blesses children by laying on His hands. Mark 10:13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. NIV v. 17-22 The Rich Young Ruler. (Was this Mark? Was this Joseph of Arimathaea?) v. 32-34 The Master’s plan of salvation is explained clearly in advance. v. 42-45 The Upside Down Kingdom. Mark 10:42 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." NIV v. 51-52 What do you want from Jesus? Mark 10:51 "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." 52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. NIV
