Mark 1-3
Dear RTB’ers,
Today, reviewing Mark’s first three chapters. STS asks some good questions. I hope you all will spend some time with those.
For me, I’m struck again by how fast Mark’s gospel moves, how many different activities in which Jesus is engaged every daily section that we read. I’m also struck by how little time He seems to spend in Capernaum, how much He moves out to the rest of Galilee. Matthew and Luke have Him at Peter’s house much more often.
Enjoy some reflection time.
Blessings!

Note that in 2023, we covered a lot more ground each day, reading parallel passages in multiple Gospels. Hence, most of the above posts do not say much about the Gospel of Mark specifically. Nevertheless, those are the 2023 posts for Mark 1-3.
