The Gospel Of Mark Exam 11

1. In the Lord's Supper, the bread signifies

The Lord’s body given for us on the Cross

The various backgrounds of those who feast on Christ

The lack of festive joy until the Lord returns to earth

The ultimate sharing of all the redeemed in the one great marriage supper of the Lamb

After taking the sop, Judas went out into
the night (John 13:30). Jesus then instituted
what we know as the Lord’s Supper. Its
meaning is beautifully outlined in the three
words:
1. He took—humanity upon Himself.
2. He broke—He was about to be broken on the cross.
3. He gave—He gave Himself for us.
The bread signified His body given, the cup His blood shed. By His
blood He ratified the new covenant. For Him there would be no more festive
joy until He returned to earth to set up His kingdom

2. According to Mark's account, Judas agreed to betray Jesus

For the honor Judas would receive

For money

In exchange for a piece of property near Jerusalem known as “Aceldama”

For three hundred pence (a year’s wages)

She prized the Savior highly. Judas, by contrast, valued Him very lightly.
Though he had lived with the Lord Jesus for at least a year, and had received
nothing but kindness from Him, Judas now sneaked off to the chief priests
with a definite guarantee to betray the Son of God into their hands. They
seized the offer gladly, offering to pay him money for his treachery. All he
had to do now was work out the details

Abba, Father

Elohim (“My God, My God”)

Jehovah Jireh

Almighty God

Explanation

Again, He prayed, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You.

4. When Jesus announced in the upper room that one of the Twelve would betray Him

They all denied such a thing to be possible

Peter said that though all the others betrayed the Lord he never would

Each one asked if he would be the one

Philip said it would be better for such a man never to have been born

With a healthy distrust of self, each
asked if he were the culprit.

Explanation

With a healthy distrust of self, each
asked if he were the culprit.

5. The Lord Jesus was crucified at the time of Passover because

That was when the religious leaders wanted to precipitate His arrest, trial and execution

God overruled human plans to fulfill His own purposes as to the time of Christ’s death

The chief priests and scribes determined not to kill Him at the time
of the Passover. Yet it seems that divine providence overruled them, and
that the Paschal Lamb of God was killed at that very time (see Matthew
26:2).

6. The Gethsemane agony of the Lord Jesus was

Witnessed by all the disciples except Judas

An expression of the Lord’s distress at the thought of being made sin for us

Brought on by physical exhaustion

Disturbing to Peter, James and John

It was doubtless the unspeakable revulsion of His holy
soul as He anticipated becoming a sin-offering for us. We cannot conceive
what it meant to Him, the Sinless One, to be made sin for us.

soul as He anticipated becoming a sin-offering for us. We cannot conceive

7. Mark's purpose in inserting into the Gospel narrative, at the point where he does insert it, the story of the anointing of Jesus by the woman seems intended to emphasize

The value Jesus placed on the woman’s act of devotion

The contrast between the woman’s evaluation of Jesus and the evaluation placed on Him by Judas

The importance of caring for the poor

The carefulness of Mark in following a strict chronological sequence of events

Here his purpose seems to be to contrast the value that
this woman put on Christ with the value Judas put on Him (vv. 10-11)

Explanation

Here his purpose seems to be to contrast the value that
this woman put on Christ with the value Judas put on Him (vv. 10-11)

8. The course material mentions several illegal proceedings of the Sanhedrin's trial of Jesus. One of them was

Having the high priest preside

Not giving Jesus a chance to defend Himself

Making Jesus answer under oath

Holding the trial at night

On this particular night, the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, and elders
who comprised the Sanhedrin showed an utter disregard for the rules under
which they operated.
1. They were not supposed to meet at night or during any of the
Jewish feasts

9. When before the Sanhedrin the Lord Jesus

Refused to answer any questions even when put on oath

Told the High Priest he was “a whited wall,” that is, a hypocrite

Confessed that He was Christ

Again promised to rebuild the Temple in three days if it were destroyed

When the high priest first questioned Him, Jesus did not reply. But
when he asked the Lord under oath (Matthew 26:63) whether He was the
Messiah, the Son of the Blessed, the Savior replied that He was. T

10. Peter's denial of the Lord

Was premeditated on his part

Is recorded only in Mark and John

Should teach us complete distrust in self

Was brought about by deliberate and planned efforts by the authorities to ruin his testimony

It is significant that all four Gospels
record the denials of Peter. We must all
learn the lesson that self confidence leads to
humiliation. We must learn to distrust self
and to lean completely on the power of God
to sustain us.
