The Gospel of Mark预览

Mark is a gospel full of action, Jesus is often healing and having encounters with people. In Chapter 4, we zoom in on Jesus’ teaching, specifically in the parables he told. The word parable comes from two Greek words: The prefix para- which means “beside,” and bolē, “to throw.” So it means to cast or throw alongside. This is the purpose of the parables Jesus told: to put everyday things alongside the kingdom of God so that people might understand both better.
