    Jesus was being tempted to doubt God, which humans often do. We often choose to blame God for our own mistakes, and forget to reflect on all that he has truly done for us. Jesus responds by stating that man lives off of God’s word. Next Jesus is asked to throw himself off of the parapet of the temple in Jerusalem so that Angels will catch him, proving that he is the Son of God. The Devil already knows of who Jesus truly is, and his purpose is not actually to decipher Jesus’ power.

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

    Jesus is a figure that many authors use in their novels. By using characters that resemble him, they author is able to relate to the reader in context of hope and redemption, as well as to expand one’s thoughts on what exactly the concept of sacrifice entails. Obviously, there are many other ideologies in the world and Christianity, though popular, sometimes follows with some kind of negative connotation that would lead authors not to use Christ as a guide to a character. Foster addresses this conflict, saying, “we live in Christian culture… Culture is so influenced by its dominant religious systems that whether a writer adheres to the beliefs of not, the values and principles of those religions will inevitably inform the literary work” (Foster 124-125).

    The reason that this is so significant is because Mark was writing this around the time of AD 67-69 when Nero was the Emperor. In AD 64, Nero set the city of Rome on fire and blamed the Christians for it. As a result, Nero began a wide-spread persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. Given the idea of an audience that was most likely an already Christian audience, it gives good light as to the purpose of the Gospel. Fiensy states that, “…Mark so emphasized Jesus’ death and because he wrote his Gospel just after the persecution of Nero…it was meant both to record the life of Jesus and to show how Jesus’ life should be imitated in his followers”

  • The Council's Condemnation Of Jesus In The Gospel Of Mark

    235 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Gospel of Mark is credited as the earliest written narrative of Jesus’ life because it possessed all of the fundamental parables and teachings of Jesus with slight attempts to develop a new Christian theology- mainly emphasizing faith. For example, in verse (7:9), Mark elevates the importance of faith in the Holy Spirit in order to reject one’s temptation to favor tradition over the commandments of God. When Jesus preached his authority over such Jewish traditions it offended the Pharisees, and ultimately, led to his trial and death. The Gospel of Mark’s depiction of the Council’s condemnation of Jesus portrays the high priest, chief priests, elders, and scribes in an unjustifiably hostile light specifically in verses (14:56) and (14:57).

    According to tradition, the Gospel of Mark was probably written by John Mark (Harris, 2014, p. 137). Papias, a Christian writer of 130-140 CE, identified the author of the Gospel of Mark as John Mark. Based on Papias’ reference, John Mark traveled with Paul and acted as an apostle for Peter in Rome. Furthermore, John Mark’s account of the Gospel is probably based on written sources, such as collections of Jesus’ parables, apocalyptic prophecies, oral accounts of Jesus’ story, and the suffering experienced by both Jesus and Mark’s community.
