Mark test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Bios | an ancient "life story" focused on a person's character and impact, not just facts. |
| What kind of ancient writing is Mark's Gospel most like, and how does it become a "God-story"?: | It's God's Messiah (Jesus) proclaiming God's kingdom to God's people of Israel. His writing is an ancient bios. |
| What is Jesus' very first public announcement (Mark 1:15), and why does it matter?: | The Messiah is claiming God's kingdom to God's people, Israel. That's why it matters: it's a God-centered story. God proclaiming his kingdom to his people. |
| Why does the chapter compare Jewish apocalyptic books (like Daniel, 1 Enoch, 4 Ezra) to Mark's Gospel?: | They are also apocalyptic books similar to Mark’s Gospel because they are books that have the notions of a secret to be penetrated, of a mystery to be explored and grasped by faith. |
| Mark 13:1–2 | Jesus predicts the Temple will be destroyed. |
| 1 Peter 5:13 | Mentions "Babylon," widely understood as a coded name for Rome, and links Mark to Pete |
| What two historical events are connected to the dating of Mark's Gospel? | The 2 historical events that are connected were the destruction of the temple in AD 70 and Gaius building a statue. |
| vName one piece of evidence for Rome and one piece of evidence for Galilee/Syria | He used Latin words, and another reason could be that Mark was with Paul in Rome. 1st Peter 5:13. |
| Why does it matter that Mark's audience was suffering when he wrote?: | It makes their need for the gospel urgent and gives them hope. |
| Mark 8:29 | Peter confesses, "You are the Messiah" — but Jesus tells him to keep quiet. |
| Mark 15:16–20 | Roman soldiers mock Jesus as "king" — ironic, but pointing to a real truth. |
| Mark 15:39 | The centurion declares, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" |
| What is the "Messianic Secret," and give one example verse: | Jesus tells people to keep quiet about who he is or what he's done, Mark 1:44, 7:36, 8:29–31. |
| What problem does the chapter find with Wrede's theory? | When Jesus tells people to be quiet, some of it isn’t messianic, and some things that are actually very messianic are not silenced at all. |
| Why is it significant that a Roman centurion — not one of Jesus' followers — makes the final declaration about who Jesus is? | The Roman Centerion confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, and it's almost like having the enemy confess something true. |
| Why is it significant that a Roman centurion — not one of Jesus' followers — makes the final declaration about who Jesus is? PT.2 | So the enemy which is Rome is a high official a centurion confessed which proves even more that Jesus is the Messiah, and even the “enemy” knows that. It's important cuz it goes against Roman government a centurion has to confess Caesars the Son of God. |
| Why is it significant that a Roman centurion — not one of Jesus' followers — makes the final declaration about who Jesus is?: PT.3 | Ironically, at the very end of Jesus's story a centurion confesses Jesus as the son of God, so Mark is almost like saying “just so you know your own people believe it so this must be true.” |
