Gospel of Mark Project
Make sure to read Mark 7:1-23 several times. Try thinking through your outline of Mark as help for completing this text analysis. The text of these prompts will not count toward your
word count.
1) Begin by outlining Mark 7:1-23. What are the stages of the story as you read it? Who
are the characters in each part? How does each piece of the story fit with the others? (It may help with this question to take a look back at our handout from 2:1-
3:6. Though this will not provide you with every direction you need to consider in this
passage, it may help you begin.)
As I studied the story in Mark 7:1-23 I saw that there were four partitioned stages
within the story. The primary is from Mark 7:1-4 when Jesus was eating with his followers with unclean hands. The moment is from Mark 7:5 when the Pharisees inquired him why he and his devotees were eating with unclean debased hands. The third organize depicts Jesus’s reaction to the Pharisees' address in Mark 7:6-14 and the ultimate organize is Jesus having clarified his reaction entered his
house, and further explained his educating to the devotees from Mark 7:15-23. The pieces within the story are all part of a direct move from Jesus eating with “unclean” hands to him clarifying how we have to be keep in mind that what truly things is the sin or honesty that we have interior of us.
2) What is the central conflict in Mark 7:1-23? Is there only one conflict or is there more than that going on here? What motivates the challenge to Jesus? Consider what you know of the Jews broadly and various Jewish groups specifically from your
textbook and class discussion in answering this question.
The one central struggle in Mark 7:1-23 is the Pharisees attempting to dishonor Jesus by attempting to trap him in a circumstance in which he was doing something “wrong” in their eyes. This challenge was incited by him reliably dishonoring the Pharisees by uncovering their lessons as off-base. Such as in Mark 3:2 when he recuperated on the sabbath or in Mark 2:16 when he ate with “sinners”. In both circumstances and the circumstance in Mark 7, he rankled the Pharisees and we see a foretelling of his coming passing when we studied Mark 3:6 when the Pharisees started to plot to slaughter him.
3) Describe (briefly) what has happened in Mark 5 and 6 (the two chapters before our passage Mk 7:1-23) and what is coming in the rest of Mark 7. Analysis
: What does
this literary context show you about the particular story about Jesus in Mark 7:1-
23? How does Mk 7:1-23 relate to the stories around it?
In chapters 5 and 6 of Mark a few major occasions took put Jesus brought a young lady to life (Mark 5:41), he recuperated a demon-possessed man (Stamp 5:15), he went back to his hometown but was rejected (Mark 6:1-6), he nourished
the five thousand (Stamp 6: 30:44), John the Baptist was executed (Stamp 6:27),
he strolled on water (Mark 6:27), and he recuperated a daze and hard of hearing man (Mark 7:31-36) Amid this action-packed grouping we see that Jesus performed numerous marvels, but too he must have been bothered significantly at whatever point he listened approximately the decapitating of John the Baptist. These stories appear us that around this story a part of activity is taking place which he must’ve been exhausted from what had been happening. This tells us that the Pharisees likely thought this would be a great time to trap Jesus to form him see terrible since of everything that had happened.
4) Based on what you have looked at and discussed above, what do you think Mark 7:1-23 is showing about God? About us as humans? What might it have to offer people today?
Mark 7:1-23 appears us that whereas we people tend to judge individuals by their
outward appearance God looks at a person’s internal being to see who they truly are. Mark 7:21-23 says “For it is from inside, out of a person’s heart, those evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.” which implies that God doesn’t care almost what we see like or in case were acknowledged by the world’s benchmarks, but or maybe God is concerned approximately who we truly are interior. This tells us that as individuals nowadays we shouldn’t center on the looks of individuals, but we ought to care almost the character that an individual has.
