Week 3 Flashcards
Mark (or John Mark) of the New Testament wrote one of the four Gospels. He was:
(All of the above, EXCEPT for 4.)
1. an associate of the Apostle Paul and Barnabas.
2. an associate (and probably a disciple) of Peter the eyewitness of Jesus. Mark’s Gospel most likely contains many records and messages given by Peter.
3. possibly an eyewitness himself, if he is the “young man” of Mk. 14:51-52. We do not know this fore sure, however.
>4. one of the original twelve disciples.
5. a later disciple or follower of Jesus, possibly among the seventy, or perhaps later and after being discipled by Peter.
Mark 16:9-20 :
Mark’s “Long Ending,” a post-resurrection passage with instructions from Jesus
Mark 9:14-29 :
A boy is delivered from a demonic spirit
Luke 5:1-11 :
Fishermen Called to Fish for People
Mark 16:9-20 is recognized as a section of Scripture that was most likely not a part of the original Gospel of Mark and is believed by many to be “finishing touches” that were added shortly after to close out Mark’s work. Based upon the discussion we had in class, which of the following should be our view?
Mark 16:9-20 is reliable tradition because it appears in other very early manuscripts (though not as early as those that do not contain it) and therefore can be viewed as an accurate presentation of the events it contains.
Who did Jesus call to follow him in the narrative accounts of Luke 5? Read through Lk. 5, and then choose your answers.
Simon (Peter), James, John, & Levi (Matthew)
As we take time to observe the text of Scripture, through careful, attentive readings (and re-readings), we often “discover” things that we previously may have missed, sometimes entirely. Take time to carefully read through Luke 8:26-39, paying attention to whole of the story and its subjects, and comparing them with the options in this question. After carefully reading this text, which of the following observations could be said to be true of the passage?
(All of the above, except for F and I)
A. There was a naked demoniac who lived among tombs
B. Jesus rebuked the demon spirit/s in the demoniac man
C. Jesus had a very brief conversation with the demon spirit/s
D. The demons left the man at the command of Jesus
E. The ministry of Jesus in this situation resulted in significant destruction of someone’s personal property
>F. The results of Jesus’ ministry was both a healed man, and an outbreak of revival in the town where the demoniac lived
G. The result of Jesus’s ministry was both a healed man, and scared local people who responded to the power of Jesus’ ministry by rejecting him
H. Jesus told the healed man to give his testimony in his town
>I. Jesus sought to win over the people of the town, hoping to continue what he started with the demoniac.
J. Jesus heard that he was unwanted in that place, and instead of seeking to win over the people, left them in their fear.
Luke addressed his Gospel to what appears to be:
An individual person, possibly of high standing, who would then influence others with its contents
When considering issues of authorship for what we refer to as “Luke” (Luke’s Gospel), which of the following is true:
There is almost no reason to believe that anyone other than Luke wrote it. Scholars generally have no problem attributing it to Luke. Even some liberal scholars attribute it to Luke.
Based upon the content of Mark’s Gospel, which audience seems to have been his original target?
Roman
