Gospel Of Mark Introduction

print
Thank God for you coming to our study on the Gospel Of Mark! We have began a new study on this Gospel as we return to in-person Bible Studies during this season of “Passover” which we celebrate during this season each year. We are presenting an introduction to the Gospel of Mark, to give a foundation for our new study to provide an understanding of the “Immediate Gospel” commonly known as “The Gospel Of St. Mark”

Please enjoy this introduction to this new study which gives some background to situations that were going on at the time of Jesus’ first coming that we shall begin at the time of “The Last Passover” in Chapter 14 to set up the scene of how things were when Jesus came to give His Life as a sacrifice for the salvation of all who believe in Him as LORD and Savior!

New Testament Scripture Readings: 

Act 1:1  The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Act 1:2  Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Act 1:3  To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

Mark 14:1 – 9 (KJV)

Mar 14:1  After two days was the feast of the Passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
Mar 14:2  But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Mar 14:3  And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
Mar 14:4  And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
Mar 14:5  For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
Mar 14:6  And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
Mar 14:7  For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
Mar 14:8  She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
Mar 14:9  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
