Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth

Mark relates the story, also found in Matthew 13:53-58 and probably Luke 4:14-30, of Jesus's rejection at Nazareth. The people question his authority and don't seem to think much of the Jesus they remember or his family. "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?" Jesus replies "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor."

Mission of the Twelve and the death of John the Baptist

Jesus sends the Twelve (the Twelve Apostles) out to the various towns, in pairs, to heal the sick and drive out demons. They are only to take their staffs and that if any town rejects them "...shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." (11) which is "...a gesture both of contempt and of warning."

Supposed head of John the Baptist, enshrined in Rome

Mark then tells of the death of John the Baptist at the hands of Herod Antipas. Herod is married to his wife Herodias, former wife of his brother Herod Philip I. John condemns Herod so Herod incarcerates John. Herodias seeks revenge on John during a birthday party for Herod. Her daughter dances for Herod and persuades Herod to kill John. John's disciples take his body and put it in a tomb. This is also found in Matthew 14:1-12. The year in which John died is unknown. Josephus has Herod killing John to quell a possible uprising around AD 36. Herod Philip died in 34 and Herod Antipas died sometime after 40 after being exiled to either Gaul or Spain.

Feeding of the five thousand and walking on water

Main articles: Feeding the multitude and Walking on water

Walking on water, by Ivan Aivazovsky (1888).

Mark then relates two miracles of Jesus. The "apostles" come back (regroup) and Jesus takes them on a boat. Verse 6:30 may be the only time Mark uses the word "apostle", which is most frequently (68 out of 79) used by Luke the Evangelist and Paul of Tarsus, see Strong's G652. When they land people are already waiting for them. Jesus teaches them several unrecorded things, then feeds the entire crowd of 5,000 people by turning five loaves of bread and two fish into enough food to feed everyone.

Jesus sends the disciples in a boat ahead of him to Bethsaida. It is night and they are only half way across when Jesus walks across the lake and meets them.

Healing of the sick of Gennesaret

The tzitzis strings of one corner of a tallit.

They reach Gennesaret and people recognize Jesus. People bring sick people on mats to wherever they hear Jesus is. They beg him to let them touch him, even only touching the "fringe of his cloak"^[3] (6:56NRSV), and all the people who do so are healed. Jesus seems willing to help all who ask for it.^[4] Raymond E. Brown argued that this section leaves readers suspecting that such enthusiasm for healing is not the right comprehension of or faith in Jesus.^[5] This section is an example of a Marcan summary, in which several stories about Jesus are all wrapped up into one description. They help show the magnitude of his power and perhaps the nature of the danger the authorities see him as presenting to the public order.^[6] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1944x2592, 1401 KB) Summary Picture of tzitzis strings Licensing File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

Notes

1. ^ http://www.jesuspolice.com/common_error.php?id=11 "Wilson (1992) [Wilson, A.N. Jesus: A life. 1992. New York: Norton & Co.] has hypothesized that the negative relationship between Jesus and his family was placed in the Gospels (especially in the Gospel of Mark) to dissuade early Christians from following the Jesus cult that was administered by Jesus’ family. Wilson says: “…it would not be surprising if other parts of the church, particularly the Gentiles, liked telling stories about Jesus as a man who had no sympathy or support from his family (p. 86).” Butz (2005) [Butz, Jeffrey. The brother of Jesus and the lost teachings of Christianity. 2005. Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions.] is more succinct: “…by the time Mark was writing in the late 60s, the Gentile churches outside of Israel were beginning to resent the authority wielded by Jerusalem where James and the apostles were leaders, thus providing the motive for Mark’s antifamily stance… (p. 44).” Other prominent scholars agree (e.g., Crosson, 1973 [Crosson, John Dominic. “Mark and the relatives of Jesus”. Novum Testamentum, 15, 1973]; Mack, 1988 [Mack, Burton. A myth of innocence: Mark and Christian origins. 1988. Philadelphia: Fortress]; Painter. 1999 [Painter, John. Just James: The brother of Jesus in history and tradition. 1999. Minneapolis: Fortress Press])."
