No Honor

In the Gospel of Mark (6:4) Jesus says that only in his hometown is a prophet without honor. Well, I can tell you I do not appear to be deserving of very much honor. My last posting here inidcated that it was about Mark Chapter 6 and al of the questions dealt with Mark, Chapter 5. there is certainly no honor in confusing people! Sorry for those of you who figured this out the hard way!

Anyway, now we really and truly do come to Mark Chapter 6 (the first half). So here goes:

Mark – Chapter 6:1-29

1. Why is a prophet without honor in his home town? (6:1-4)

2. What does that mean for us as we seek to minister to others?

3. Why couldn’t Jesus do any miracles in Nazareth?

4. When Jesus sent out the twelve, why did He send them two by two? (6:7)

5. Why were the twelve instructed not to take anything with them? (6:8)

6. Why would the disciples be intructed to stay in the same house until they would leave a particular town? (6:10)

7. What does it mean for them to shake the dust off of their feet? (6:11)

8. Why was there debate over Jesus’ identity? (6:14-16)

9. What would it mean if Jesus was John the Baptist resurrected?

10.Why would King Herod be distressed regarding the debate about Jesus’ identity?

11.What is Jesus’ purpose in telling the disciples to give the crowd something to eat? (6:37)

12.Why would Jesus just pass the twelve apostles by when he walked on the water? (6:47-50)

13. What does it mean that the disciples did not understand about the loaves and the fishes? (6:51-52)
