Mark Worksheet - Chapter 16

Worksheet - Mark 16 

Review of Chapter 15:

Jesus was falsely accused, beaten in the head repeatedly, spit upon, and mocked or made fun of.  He did not answer a word or try to defend Himself.  Does this give you any comfort in knowing that He understands the abuse you have endured in life? On the cross, Jesus was ridiculed with people saying "Come off the cross if You are really God's Son!"..."Save Yourself"...but on the cross, Jesus' Words were "Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do."...When we are ridiculed for our faith, do we choose to retaliate or do we follow the example of Jesus and pray for Him to forgive those who persecute us? When Jesus died, the veil in the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.  This veil separated the people from the holy of holies in the temple.  Only the high priest could go beyond that veil one time a year to sacrifice for the sins of the people.  Hebrews 9 teaches us that Christ appeared as our High Priest and His sacrifice was the new covenant that removes the veil of separation.  According to Hebrews 10:19-25 we can go into the holy of holies with confidence before God's throne through the blood of Jesus our Lord.

Mark, Chapter 16:

The Resurrection

1.  When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James & Salome bought spices that they might come and anoint Jesus.  Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.  They wondered who would roll away the heavy stone from the entrance of the tomb so that they could anoint the body of Jesus. 

• When they saw the tomb, what did they realize? vs. 4 -
• When they entered inside the tomb, what did they see? vs. 5 -
• What did he tell them? vs. 6 -
• Who were the women to go and tell and what were they to say? vs. 7 -
• How did the women react to this? vs. 8 -

2.  After Jesus had risen on the first day of the week, who did He first appear to?

• vs. 9 -

What ministry did Jesus grant her when He was with her before His death?

• vs. 9 -

She went to tell those disciples that had been with Him while they were mourning and weeping over His death ...but they did not believe her when she said He was alive.

Later, two of the disciples were walking on their way to the country and Jesus appeared to them.  They reported this to the others as well and they did not believe them either.

The Disciples Commissioned

3.  Finally, Jesus appeared to the eleven (remember Judas Iscariot killed himself after betraying the Lord so he is not among them now). 

• What did Jesus say to them ? vs. 14 -

4.  After this, Jesus commissioned them ! 

• Where were they to go? vs. 15 - 
• What were they to preach? vs. 15 -
• Who were they to preach to? vs. 15 -
• What was the promise to those who believed and were baptized? vs. 16 -
• What were the signs that would accompany those believers in that day? vs. 17-18 -

Note:  Some of the oldest manuscripts do not contain verses 9-20 and some believe these things were for the apostles of the New Testament church before the New Testament was written to give authencation of them really being the eye witnesses of knowing and hearing the Words and seeing the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.....If you believe all these signs accompany believers today as well, that is understandable as well and others hold to your personal interpretation also.  We don't debate these things.  We simply look at them with face value and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal His truth to each of us on these areas where sincere and studious believers can sometimes disagree.

5.  After Jesus spoke these things to them, He was received up into heaven.

• Where did He sit down at?

They went out and preached while the Lord worked with them, confirming the word by the signs that followed. (vs. 19,20)

Review & Reflect:

Let's review with questions and reflection:

• Jesus was killed on Friday and resurrected on Sunday.
• Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene whom He had cast out seven demons.
• Mary was not believed by the disciples.
• Jesus then appeared to two of the disciples and they believed, but the others who did not see Him did not believe when they were told.
• Jesus then appeared to all eleven apostles and rebuked them for not believing those who had told them of His resurrection.
• Jesus commissioned the eleven apostles to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
• Those who believe and are baptized will be saved.
• The ones who do not believe will be condemned.
• Jesus was received into heaven after this and now sits at the right hand of God.

Do you believe the Gospel - the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Conclusion & Application:

Write out this verse and state when you became a believer or if you want to become a believer right now.

• Romans 10:8-10 -

• Do you believe?
• Will you confess?
• Will you follow the Lord in baptism?

Mark Worksheet - Chapter 15

Worksheet - Mark 15 

Review of Chapter 14:

Death Plot Against Jesus/His Anointing For Burial - - - Mary anointed our Lord with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume.  Some of the disciples were indignant about her wasting the perfume which could have been sold and the money given to the poor.  One of these was Judas Iscariot who had no intent of giving it to the poor, but he kept the money purse and took money from the purse. (See John 12:3-6).  Jesus said it was to prepare Him for His burial and what she did would be remembered for all generations to come. We looked at the heart of Judas that was wicked from the beginning and never did come into repentance.  We compared it with Peter's heart that wanted to serve Jesus with all of his heart & soul and really believed he could keep his commitment and yet he denied the Lord.  The Lord knew both hearts of both men and He knows our hearts today.  The Lord knows those who are His and we know by the Holy Spirit bearing witness within us that we are a child of God. The Last Passover - -  Which is what we celebrate today as the Lord's Supper.  He said to remember His blood poured out for them and His body broken for them.  He told His disciples at the Supper they would all fall away from Him.  Peter said He wouldn't, but he did. We were encouraged by the words in Luke 22:31,32 where Jesus told Peter "beforehand" that He knew that Peter would deny Him in his weakest moment, but He also knew that he would turn again and be used to strengthen others.  We talked about how God will help us get back up after failure and be used to His glory. Jesus struggled with the Father's will of dying the death of a criminal on the cruel cross for you and for I, but He knew that He could endure that cross if He submitted to the Father's will over His own will. This is an example for us when we are struggling between the weakness of our flesh and the will of the Father and the Spirit that helps us to submit. Jesus was falsely accused and condemned to death.  Betrayal by Judas/Jesus Is Arrested/Falsely Accused -- We saw Him be blindfolded and spit upon as well as beaten in the fast with the fists of His accusers.  We see Him be slapped in the face and told to prophesy as He was mocked. He truly took the chastisement for our sins upon Himself.  We should be so thankful.

Mark, Chapter 15:

Jesus before Pilate

1.  Early in the morning the whole Council of priests, elders and scribes held a meeting and bound Jesus taking Him to Pilate.  Pilate questioned Jesus, "Are You the King of the Jews?"

• How did Jesus answer him? vs. 2 -

2.  The chief priests began to accuse Jesus harshly, but Jesus did not answer them or try to defend Himself.  Pilate was amazed.  It was customary at the feast of the Passover for the Romans to release one prisoner of their choice.  He brought up Barabbas as a good choice to think about.

• Why had Barabbas been put into prison? vs. 7 -

Pilate asked the crowd if they wanted him to release Jesus, the king of the Jews instead of Barabbas.  He was aware of why they had delivered Jesus up to him.  It was nothing but pure 'envy' (vs.10).

3.  The chief priests stirred the crowd up to ask that Barabbas be released for them instead.  Pilate asked what he should do with Jesus. 

• What did the crowd shout ? vs. 14 -

To satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas and after having Jesus scourged, he delivered Him to be crucified.

• In what way are we like the guilty one Barabbas who was released as Jesus the innocent was put to death?  Find Scripture to support your answer.

Jesus Is Mocked

4.  The soldiers took Jesus into the palace and called together the entire Roman cohort.  They dressed Jesus in purple (as a king would wear) and weaved a crown of thorns and put on Him as they mocked Him saying "Hail, King of the Jews!".

• What did they continue doing to Him? (name 3 things) - vs. 19 -

After they mocked Him, they took the purple off Him and put His garments back on Him.  Then they led Him out to crucify Him.  A person was passing by named Simon who was from Cyrene, and he was pressed into service to carry the cross of Jesus to the hill.  This indicates that Jesus had lost too much blood and was too weak to carry it Himself.

The Crucifixion

They brought Jesus to the place Golgotha which is translated "place of a skull".  They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He refused it.  They crucified Him and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots to decide who would get what.

5.  He was crucified at the 3rd hour of the day which is 9:00 a.m. as we know time.  The charge that was inscribed above Him read "The King of the Jews".

• Who was crucified on each side of Him? vs. 27 -

This was to fulfill Scripture in the Old Testament that said He would be numbered with transgressors.

• What were the people passing by Him doing when they saw Him on the cross? vs. 31-32
• What happened 3 hours later, the 6th hour, which is noon or 12:00 p.m. as we know time? vs. 33 -
• How long did this darkness in mid-day last? vs. 33 -

6.  At the 9th hour, which is 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon as we know time...Jesus cried out asking "My God, My God, Why hast Thou forsaken Me?"..... Then Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed His last.

• What happened when Jesus breathed His last breath at 3:00 in the afternoon that day?  vs. 38 -

Look up references in a Bible concordance or Bible dictionary online or at home on the veil and give the reasons you found to help answer these questions.

• What did the veil in the temple represent? 
• What was its purpose? 
• Why is it significant that it tore from the top to the bottom at the death of Jesus? 
• Is there a veil to separate us from God today?  Why or why not?  How do we enter into the presence of God as a priest ourselves today?

7.  When the Roman centurion, who was standing in front of Jesus, saw 'the way' Jesus breathed His last, what did He say about Him?

• vs. 39 -

8.  Read the dying accounts and the statements made by Jesus from all 4 Gospel writers - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  According to all the details in these passages, what things would have touched this Roman centurion in "the way or manner that Jesus died" ?  What would make him know that this must have been the Son of God?

• Matthew 27:45-54 -
• Mark 15:33-39 -
• Luke 23:34-48 -
• John 19:25-30 -

9.  Do we realize that 'the way or manner' in which we suffer our darkest hours can lead another to the acknowledgement of believing in God?  Give an example if you have ever been in a situation like that or seen another Christian endure in that way.  

10. There were some women looking on from a distance at the death of Jesus.  Among the women were:  Mary Magdalene and Mary (mother of James the Less, Joses, and Salome). 

• What did these women do for Jesus when He was in Galilee ministering? vs. 41 -

Jesus Is Buried

11. When evening had come, who asked Pilate for the body of Jesus ? 

• vs. 42-43 -

12.  What day was it according to vs. 42 and what day of the week would this have been?

• vs. 42 - 

13. Pilate wondered if Jesus was dead by this time so he asked the centurion if he was sure that Jesus was dead.  Hearing that He was for sure dead, he gave permission that His body be removed from the cross and buried.

• How did Joseph prepare His body and where did He lay him? vs. 46 -

Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses looked on to see where He was laid to rest.

Review & Reflect:

Let's review with questions and reflection:

• Jesus was falsely accused, beaten in the head repeatedly, spit upon, and mocked or made fun of.  He did not answer a word or try to defend Himself.  Does this give you any comfort in knowing that He understands the abuse you have endured in life?
• On the cross, Jesus was ridiculed with people saying "Come off the cross if You are really God's Son!"..."Save Yourself"...but on the cross, Jesus' Words were "Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do."...When we are ridiculed for our faith, do we choose to retaliate or do we follow the example of Jesus and pray for Him to forgive those who persecute us?
• When Jesus died, the veil in the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.  This veil separated the people from the holy of holies in the temple.  Only the high priest could go beyond that veil one time a year to sacrifice for the sins of the people.  Hebrews 9 teaches us that Christ appeared as our High Priest and His sacrifice was the new covenant that removes the veil of separation.

Conclusion & Application:

• Write out Hebrews 10:19-25 -

 

Answer these questions:

• Since the death and resurrection of Jesus - how do we go into God's holy place today? 
• What kind of heart are we to draw near to God with? 
• In light of God's faithfulness, what are we to do for one another as we see the day of His return drawing closer every day?

Worksheet - Mark 14

Page 2 of 2

Mark, Chapter 14:

Jesus in Garden of Gethsemane

7.  Jesus and the eleven came to a place named Gethsemane.  He asked that they sit while He went to pray.  Who did He take with Him farther on?  Mark 14:33 -

• 1)
• 2)
• 3)
• What was our Lord's emotional state at this time? vs. 33 -
• What did He need for His 3 close associates to do for Him? vs. 34 -

He went a little beyond them and fell to the ground and began to pray. 

• What was He asking God at this time of His own weakness and distress? vs. 35 - 36
• What was He willing to do regardless? vs. 36 -

When He came back to His 3 friends, He did not find them praying with Him and for Him. 

• What did He find them doing? vs. 37 -
• What did Jesus say to Peter?  vs. 37-38

Jesus went away 'again' and prayed the same thing. 

• What was this prayer He had prayed before? vs. 36 -
• When He came to the disciples 'again' after His last encouragement to them, what did He find them doing 'again'? vs. 40 -

Jesus went to pray in hopes of having them join Him in prayer a third time.

When He came back 'again', they were sleeping and resting 'again'.  Suddenly things were upon them! 

• What hour had come ? vs. 41-42 -

So many times, we see a sweet picture of Jesus resting on a rock looking up to the heavens with the moon glowing on His face in Gethsemane. Is that the picture you get from the facts in the Word of this emotional day for our Lord?

To make this even clearer in our minds, let's record these verses as well:

• Luke 22:43-44 -
• Hebrews 5:7-8 -
• How do the above verses help you know that He truly understands your times of weakness and desperation?

Betrayal and Arrest

8.  While Jesus was speaking, Judas, (one of His 12 that had walked with Him and watched His miracles, love, and compassion for three years), came accompanied by a crowd. 

• Who was this crowd made up of? 
• What did they carry with them? vs. 43 -

• What sign would Judas give to them to know which One they were to seize and arrest? vs. 44 -
• What did Judas called Jesus and what did He give to Him as He betrayed Him? vs. 45 -

Ponder:  Have you ever been flattered by a so-called friend and stabbed in the back at the same time by them?  Did you ever wonder if Jesus could understand your pain?  Maybe you realize today that He surely can.

What does John tell us about this event when Jesus asked the multitude who they were seeking?  (this is awesome) John 18:2-6 -

• What did one of the Lord's disciples do to the slave of the high priest who came to arrest Jesus? vs. 47
• What disciple is this according to John 18:10 ?
• What did Jesus say to him in John 18:11?
• What does Luke tell us that Jesus did for the slave at that time even during this time of distress for Himself? Luke 22:50-51 -

What did Jesus say to Peter?

• John 18:11 -
• Matthew 26:52-54 -

What did Jesus say to the multitude who were arresting Him?

• Mark 14:48-49-
• Luke 22:52-53 -
• Matthew 26:55-56 -

What did the Lord's disciples do at this time?

• Matthew 26:56 -
• Mark 14:50 -

Jesus had told them this would happen.  Read His Words to them that predicted this:

• Mark 14:27 -
• John 16:32-33-

Who followed Jesus and what was interesting about how he was dressed?

• Mark 14:51-52 -

(many think since this was written by Mark and included and the other gospels do not tell about this that this was Mark referring to himself.) 

Jesus before His Accusers

9.  Jesus was led away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together.

• Who followed Jesus at a distance right into the courtyard of the high priest?  Mark 14:54 -
• What was he doing while there? vs. 54 -

The chief priests and the whole Council (high court of the Jews) kept trying to obtain the testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they were not finding any fault.

Although many came forward to give false testimony, there was not consistency in their stories.  Some were saying how He claimed that He would destroy the temple and build it back without hands in three days, but there was no consistency in this testimony which was not accurate in what He said about the temple. 

Finally the high priest (Caiaphas) asked Jesus Himself about the testimonies given of Him.  Jesus kept silent.  Finally Caiaphas asked Him out right:  "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

• How did Jesus answer him? Mark 14:62 -

At this statement, Caiaphas tore his clothes and said that was all the proof they needed. 

• What were they charging Him for that they deemed was worthy of death? vs. 63-64 -
• How was Jesus immediately treated by those standing around Him at this time? vs. 65 -

Peter's Denials

10.  As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came.  She saw Peter warming himself by the fire.  She said she saw him with Jesus the Nazarene.

• How did Peter answer her? vs. 68 -
• When he went out onto the porch, what did he hear? vs. 69 -

The servant-girl began to say to the bystanders around Peter "This is one of them!"

• What did he do again and again? vs. 70 - 71 -

Immediately after that, a rooster crowed a second time. 

• What did Peter remember of the words Jesus had spoken to him? vs. 72 -
• What did this cause Peter to do? vs. 72 -

Review & Reflect:

This has been a long lesson with a lot of material to remember and reflect upon.  Let's review with questions and reflection:

• Mary anointed our Lord with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume.  What items of value are we pouring out upon our Lord and His kingdom's work? 
• We looked at the heart of Judas that was wicked from the beginning and never did come into repentance.  We compared it with Peter's heart that wanted to serve Jesus with all of his heart & soul and really believed he could keep his commitment and yet he denied the Lord.  The Lord knew both hearts of both men and He knows our hearts today.  What differences did we see in Judas and Peter and how can you relate all that you learned about their hearts to your own life and walk before God? 
• We talked about how our weaknesses can be used to glorify God rather than have us walk a defeated life.  What are ways you learned in today's lesson that will help you turn being a victim of circumstances into being a victor over circumstances in your life? 
• Jesus struggled with the Father's will of dying the death of a criminal on the cruel cross for you and for I, but He knew that He could endure that cross if He submitted to the Father's will over His own will.  What are you dealing with that God would have you submit to His will today? 
• Jesus was falsely accused and condemned to death.  We saw Him be blindfolded and spit upon as well as beaten in the fast with the fists of His accusers.  We see Him be slapped in the face and told to prophesy as He was mocked.  How does this encourage you in your daily persecutions and how does it cause you to be thankful to the Lord for what He was willing to suffer on our behalf? 
• Peter had told the Lord that no matter who denied Him, he would personally die with Him.  He even cut off the ear of a man trying to take His Lord by arrest.  Peter was full of emotion and self-will for the right reasons!  Yet, he failed the Lord when the Lord needed him the most.  It caused him to weep and feel horrible and very much a traitor and a failure.  Have you ever felt that way?  
• How did the words of Jesus to Peter beforehand in Luke 22:31,32 encourage you? 
• How will it help you handle the failures you have made to this point in your walk with the Lord?
•  What kind of throne does God the Father sit on according to Hebrews 4:16? 
• When are we suppose to go there? 
• When we go there, what do we find waiting for us? 
• Will you go there daily? 
• What did you also learn about weaknesses from Peter, Paul, and John in our lesson today? 
• How will you apply it all to your daily life?

Worksheet - Mark 14

Page 1 of 2

Review of Chapter 13:

1) The disciples were impressed with the glory of the Jewish temple.  It was destroyed in A.D. 70 by the Romans as Jesus predicted it would be. 2) Four of the disciples came to Jesus privately to ask more details about this event and the signs of the end times.  Jesus told them not to be deceived; that many would come in His name and mislead many.  The Jews will be under persecution and will have fled to the wilderness to escape the desolation of their temple in that day.  They will be looking for their Messiah.  He will come, but they are not to be mislead about how He will come and when He will come for them.  Jesus gives the details so that the warnings can be passed on generation to generation before His Second Coming. 3) As Believers in Jesus (Jews and Gentiles) we have the catching up in the 'air' to look forward to which is separate from the Lord's actual coming back to the earth to rule and reign.  Just as the Jews need to be on the alert about the end times for their nation, we need to be on the alert that our Lord could call us home in the rapture anyday.  Are we ready?

Mark, Chapter 14:

Death Plot & Anointing

1.  Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread was 2 days off; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to secretly steal and seize Jesus in order to kill Him. 

• Why did they not want to take Him during the Passover festival of the Jews? vs. 2 -

Note:  Passover was the Jewish festival commemorating the time when the angel of the Lord 'passed over' the homes of the Hebrews rather than killing their firstborn sons as he did in the Egyptian homes for the last plaque that finally got Pharaoh to release the Hebrews from slavery.  You can read about this in Exodus Chapter 12.  The Unleavened Bread feast followed the Passover feast and lasted seven days.  Read  Exodus 12:15-20; 23:15; 34:18; and Deuteronomy 16:1-8 to learn more about the feasts.

2.  What happened during this time while Jesus was staying outside of Jerusalem in Bethany in the home of Simon the leper? vs. 3 -

• How did some of the disciples and those there react to this action by this woman? vs. 4 -
• What did they think better use of the perfume would be?  How did they treat the woman for what she had done to Jesus with the perfume? vs. 5 -
• What did Jesus do for the woman at that time?  What did He say about her act of worship? vs. 6 - 9 -
• John's Gospel tells us who this woman was.  Who was she and what else do we learn about this moment from John? John 12:1-3 -
• John points out one disciple that show the most indignation.  Who is he and what did John say was already in this man's heart to do?  John 12:4 -
• Why did he show such concern for giving the money to the poor according to John? John 12:5-6 -

3.  Back to Mark 14, this disciple named Judas Iscariot went off to the chief priests, in order to betray Jesus to them.

• They were glad he did this and what did they promise to give him? vs. 11 -  
• What did Judas begin seeking from that agreement on? vs. 11 -
• What were the chief priests willing to give Judas according to Matthew 26:15 ?
• According to Matthew, what did Judas begin to look for from that point on? Matthew 26:16 -

Back to Mark 14:

The Last Passover

4.  When it was time to eat the Passover meal, two of Jesus' disciples asked Him where they should prepare for Him to eat Passover.  There was a place already furnished and ready for them. 

• How would the disciples find the room to make preparations? vs. 12-16 -

5.  When it was evening this final Passover with Jesus (would have been Thursday night of Passion Week) ... Jesus came with His 12 disciples to the place prepared for them to eat the Passover meal. 

• As they reclined at the table eating, what did Jesus say to the 12 of them? vs. 18 -
• How long had Jesus known the one that would do this to Him?John 6:68-71 -

Notes:  In John's Gospel, we are also told about the Lord washing the feet of His 12 disciples before they ate this meal together.  Peter felt so humbled by Jesus washing his feet and said "Never shall You wash my feet!"... Jesus said "If I do not wash you, you will have no part in Me."...after this, Peter said, "Not my feet only, but my hands and my head too Lord."  Jesus said to Peter, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

• What did Jesus know at that time?  John 13:10-11 -

Yet, He washed the feet of His betrayer.

How precious to think that He knew all three years from the time He chose him what was in his heart and yet He served the one that would betray him.  Jesus went into very intimate teachings about the Holy Spirit who would indwell them after His departure and how they were to love and serve one another as He had given them an example.  As He spoke to them, He became very troubled in His spirit and that is when He said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me." (John 13:21) 

Peter and John both asked Him to tell them who it would be.  He said "The one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him".  He dipped the morsel of bread and gave it to Judas. 

• What are we told happened after Judas ate the morsel of bread handed to him by Jesus?  Who actually entered into Judas at that time?  John 13:27 -
• What did Jesus tell Judas to do? John 13:27 -
• The disciples did not know what Jesus meant by telling him this.  What did they think Jesus must have meant? John 13:28-30 -

After Judas left them, Jesus went into the intimate teachings of loving one another and the role of the Spirit that would be in their lives. (John, Chapters 13 - 16...In John Chapter 17, we have the Lord's High Priestly Prayer to the Father for His disciples before His death ...we will enjoy all of this when we do lessons on the book of John in the near future)

Back to Mark 14:

• What did Jesus say about the one who He would give the dipped morsel of bread to? Mark 14:20-21 -

(this shows us that although Jesus knew the wickedness and willingness in Judas' heart when He selected him to be part of the 12 and fulfill the Scriptures of prophecy, it was Judas' freewill that made the choices, not that he did not have a choice)

Judas left immediately into the night after receiving the dipped morsel of bread according to John 13:30.

The Lord's Supper

6.  While they were eating the Passover Meal, Jesus took some of the bread.

•  What did He say after He broke the bread, blessed it in prayer, and gave it to His disciples?  Mark 14:22 -
• When Jesus took the cup and gave thanks for it, He gave it to them and they all drank from it.  What did He say to them concering the wine they drank? Mark 14:24 -
• When would Jesus drink of wine again? vs. 25 -

After they sang a hymn together, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 

• What did Jesus tell the eleven at this time?  vs. 27-28 -
• What was Peter's reaction to this? vs. 29 -
• What did Jesus tell Peter would happen that very night before the cock crowed twice in the morning? vs. 30 -
• Even though Jesus told Peter this, what did Peter keep saying along with the others? vs. 31 -

Ponder - Compare Judas & Peter - What was the difference between the betrayal of Judas and the denial of Peter?

Why would Judas be doomed and it be better that he was never born according to Jesus and why would Peter's denial not be final? 

• Was Satan involved in both of these actions? 

We have seen Judas' heart.  Let's look at Peter's heart now and see that the difference was the heart, the intent.  There is a difference in weakness and wickedness.  Amen?

• What do we learn from Luke's account of this conversation between Jesus and Peter? Luke 22:31-34 -

Note:  Just as Jesus knew the heart of Judas before selecting him that it was wicked and willing to betray Him ... Jesus knew the heart of Peter before Peter ever denied Him ... He not only knew Peter's weaknesses, but prayed with Peter that ultimate good and ministry would come forth from Satan's sifting of his faith and bringing failure to his life.

Reflect: 

• How does this encourage you today? 
• Are you glad Jesus knows your heart whether it is set on wickedess or beset by weakness? 
• Weakness is temporary; wickedness is eternal.  What weakness do you have today?
• How has Satan been allowed to sift you like wheat? 
• Do you know that Jesus is praying for you, that your faith will not fail? 

When you turn back to Him, He wants to use your weakness as well as your willingness to strengthen your brothers in Christ.  Look at how weakness will be used by God in your life!

When you are God's child by the covenant of the blood of Jesus by believing in Him as God's Son, raised from the dead for your sins, there are some awesome promises you can trust in regarding your temporary weaknesses and set backs.  Let's look at them together.

• Who is praying for you during this time? Luke 22:31-32 -  
• What is the ultimate desire or goal of this temporary setback?Luke 22:32 -
• Therefore, where should you turn without hesitation when you are feeling overcome by a sin or have a weakness of the flesh?Hebrews 4:14-16
• According to the verses just read in Hebrews Chapter 4, does Jesus despise our weaknesses or sympathize with them?
• Why does He understand them so well? 
• What kind of throne are we drawing near when we take our weaknesses to God? 
• What two things do we receive when we confess our weaknesses to Him?
• What is mercy?  (look up in Bible dictionary)
• What is grace? (look up in Bible dictionary)

Reflect:  What weakness will you take to the Lord's throne of grace today?  Are you encouraged that while Satan sifts you as wheat, Jesus is praying for you?

When you confess your sins to God, what can you be sure of? 

• 1 John 1:9 -

If we go into denial instead and let our pride keep us from going to confession to the Lord, what can we be sure of instead?

• 1 John 1:10 -

What can our weaknesses show to others who are watching our faith in action?  What can we learn from Paul's thorn in the flesh, his weakness?

Read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

• Why was a messenger of Satan allowed to buffet Paul with weakness? vs. 7 -

Paul prayed (actually entreated or begged) God to remove the thorn of weakness from his life that Satan was allowed to bring. 

• Did God remove it? 
• What did God tell Paul? vs. 8-9 -
• What did Paul decide to do in regard to his weaknesses and why? vs. 9 -

Paul decided to be well content with what weaknesses for Christ's sake? vs. 10

• 1)
• 2)
• 3)
• 4)

When we come to the end of ourselves and confess our weaknesses to God, we are humbling ourselves.  When we become humble and fall to our knees or on our faces, we are in the greatest position to receive strength from God.

What did Peter share with the church concerning this?

• 1 Peter 5:6-7 -

What did Peter want us to be aware of concerning Satan?

•  vs. 8 -

We are to resist him and be firm in our faith.  What are we to know and remember that will help us to stay firm in our faith?

• vs. 9 -

What are we promised after we suffer for awhile under God's plan and promises?  What four things will God do for us in His time? vs. 10 -

• 1)
• 2)
• 3)
• 4) 
• Therefore, what shall we give to God? vs. 11 -

What instruction does Jesus give to us in regard to weakness?  How to we combat it?

• Mark 14:38 -  

Reflect:  How how this lesson helped you today?  Will it simply add to your knowledge of Scripture or will you honestly go to the throne of grace more often now?

Mark Worksheet - Chapter 13

Worksheet - Mark 13

Review of Chapter 12:

1) In the Parable of the Vine-growers, we saw that this represented the religious leaders of Israel; how God had prophesied this in the Old Testament and how they fulfilled the rejection of the Lord.  They beat and killed prophets the Lord sent to them along the way.  When He finally sent the nation of Israel His Only Son, they would kill Him as well.  God would give the fruit of the kingdom to another nation, all who were not of the Jewish race - the Gentile nations.  We know from our other studies that God is not finished with the nation of Israel yet.  Amen. 2) We saw the Pharisees, the Herodians, the Sadducees, and the Scribes all try to trap Jesus in quesitons about the Jewish laws.  He was asked about paying taxes to Caesar.  Jesus said to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's."  He was asked about the greatest commandents and He told them to love the Lord with all of their being and to love their neighbor as themselves.  3) Jesus taught that the Messiah was not only the son of David, coming from him as a descendant, but that David recognized Him as his own "Lord".  This was from Psalm 110:1.  4) Jesus told the Jewish crowds that He taught in the synagogues to beware of the piety and hypocrisy of the Scribes; that their judgment would bring about a greater condemnation; for they pretended one thing but were quite different on the inside.  5) Jesus taught about the kind of giving that pleases God.  It is not giving out of our surplus like the rich who like to make a show of it; it is giving all that we have to God like the poor widow who gave all that she had to live on.  We looked at the New Testament pattern of giving.  We are to give according to what we have, not what we don't have.  We are to give as we have purposed in our hearts and do so cheerfully which God loves.  When we sow sparingly, we will reap sparingly.  When we sow bountifully, we will reap bountifully.  It is the law of sowing and reaping.  When we give first to His kingdom and righteousness, He takes care of all of our needs.  Amen.

Mark, Chapter 13:

1.  As Jesus was going out of the temple in Jerusalem, what did one of His disciples say to Him?

• vs. 1 -

Note:  According to historical records, the stones of the Jewish temple were white and some of them were 37 feet long, 12 feet high, and 18 feet wide.

2.  What did Jesus tell this disciple about these great stones on these great buildings on the temple mount?

• vs. 2 -

Note:  This was fulfilled literally in A.D. 70 when the Romans under Titus completely destroyed Jerusalem and  the temple buildings.  Stones were even pried apart to collect the gold leaf that melted from the roof when the temple was set on fire. (notes form NASB study Bible)..

3.  As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, what four disciples came to Him privately to ask Him questions about when this would happen as well as signs of the end times?  vs. 3,4 -

• 1)
• 2)
• 3)
• 4)

4.  Jesus told them several things.  List these below as things these Jewish men needed to know in regard to their nation of Israel as the time of the end was drawing near to them:

• 1) vs. 5-6 -
• 2) vs. 7-
• 3) vs. 8 -
• 4) vs. 9-11 -
• 5) vs. 12 -
• 6) vs. 13 -
• 7) vs. 14-18 -
• 8) vs. 19-20 -
• 9) vs.21-23 -

5.  Jesus continued to tell them, that in those days, after the tribulation, many things would happen as well.  What else did he tell them about the future of their nation after the tribulation period came upon them?

• 1) vs. 24 -
• 2) vs. 25 -
• 3) vs. 26-27 -

Note:  Jesus said they could learn a lesson from the fig tree.  He said that when the branch has already become tender and sprouts new leaves, they can know that summer is near.  In the same way, when they see these things happening, they can know that the Lord is near, even right at the door.  Jesus said that this generation (also means race i.e. Jewish race) would not pass away until all those things take place.  This was assurance to them that no matter what the nation of Israel had to endure from the Romans and all the years to come until the very end, they would still exist until His coming and gathering His elect for Himself.

6.  Although heaven and earth will pass away, what will never pass away? vs. 31 -

7.  Does Jesus Himself know when that day is?  vs. 32 -

8.  Who alone knows when that day is set? vs. 32 -

9.  Since the Jewish nation could not know the appointed time for all of this to take place, what was the one thing Jesus said they always needed to be? vs. 33 -

10.  What did Jesus compare His final coming for the nation of Israel to? vs. 34-37 -

11.  What was His final admonition concerning all that He was sharing with them that they would share with others and pass down, even to our age and time? vs. 37 -

Ponder: Although the references to the temple in Jerusalem, the Sabbath day, the hills of Judea, and so many things that are Jewish of nature are made in this prophetic passage and applies to the nation of Israel, is the church also told to be on the ALERT?  What are we to be on the alert about?  We are to be on the alert for we do not know when the Lord Jesus is going to appear 'in the clouds' to call us 'up' to meet Him in the 'air'.  We call this the rapture although that term is not used in the Bible.  It is the great 'snatching up' and from all my studies of prophecy, I believe it is before the years of tribulation that are going to try the nation of Israel and the world left of unbelievers during His time of judgment.

12.  As believers, what have we come 'out' of already?

• 1 John 5:12 -

13.  Will we face God's judgment or wrath now that we are believers in His Son Jesus?

• 1 Thessalonians 5:9 -

14.  What event will happen for us that we are to comfort one another in regard to it?

• 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 -

15.  Are we exhorted as believers to also be on alert concerning the Lord's coming for us? 

• 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 -

Short Lesson On Prophecy: Okay, a quick little lesson from my years of prophecic study of the books of Daniel, Revelation, 2 Thessalonians and all the cross references of the prophets of the Old Testament.... When you make the drawings and you look at all of it, you see that Israel will be hated by all and many will be killed. There will be a remnant that escapes to the mountains when the AntiChrist comes into the rebuilt temple they will be worshipping in - when he comes in to say he is God and demands their worship - they are to flee to the mountains where God has a place prepared for them. This helps to understand why they are not to return to the house to get their cloak, etc. but to leave in haste.  It also explains why Jesus says to pray it will not be on a Sabbath or in the winter.  They will be traveling on foot and exposed to the weather. According to Daniel and Revelation, the Lord will take care of them for 3 and 1/2 years and they will be kept from the terror of the AntiChrist.  This is the remnant that will see Him when He comes with the clouds at the end of that time.  They are the ones that I believe will be saved because they endured to the end.  That is my belief and I don't personally think it speaks of losing our salvation. I believe that the church will have already been caught up in the clouds before this time and that we will be returning with Him when He comes to the mount and to reign on the earth for 1000 years.  I know that is a lot to read and take in and of course, I will be glad to give supporting Scriptures for all that I share. Take time to read Daniel 12 which will help you understand the Abomination of Desolation that Jesus is talking about. Daniel 12 Notes Who stands guard over the sons of Daniel's people?  Who would Daniel's people be? vs. 1 - What kind of distress will happen to the nation that Daniel belongs to at that time? vs. 1 - Who will be rescued? vs. 1 - What will happen to those who died in faith at that time?  What will happen to the people that were not believers? vs. 2 - At the time all of this happens, who will shine bright and lead others to righteousness? vs. 3 - Would Daniel ever see these things fulfilled in his own lifetime?  vs. 13 - What was Daniel to do with the words that had been given him at that time? vs. 4 - Daniel saw the angelic figures on the bank of the river and he asked them how long it would be until the end of this dreadful time on his people? What was the answer given? vs. 7 - Daniel heard the words and wrote them down for us today, but at that time he could not understand at all. What was he told? vs. 9-10 - How many days would the distress happen from the time the Abomination of Desolation is set up? vs. 11 - If you do the math, that is 3 and 1/2 years of time. We can watch the nation of Israel and know the signs are here and coming faster all the time.  They have been in the news every day for the last couple of years.  Now, the country of Iran is threatening their existence and we see the nations of the world getting involved in this.  It is all around God's nation, Israel, who we learn about in Genesis who is Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham.

It won't be long.  I pray we are ready to be caught up in the air and forever be with the Lord.

Review & Reflect:

• 1) The disciples were impressed with the glory of the Jewish temple.  It was destroyed in A.D. 70 by the Romans as Jesus predicted it would be.
• 2) Four of the disciples came to Jesus privately to ask more details about this event and the signs of the end times.  Jesus told them not to be deceived; that many would come in His name and mislead many.  The Jews will be under persecution and a remnant will have fled to the wilderness to escape the desolation of their temple in that day.  They will be looking for their Messiah.  He will come, but they are not to be mislead about how He will come and when He will come for them.  Jesus gives the details so that the warnings can be passed on generation to generation before His Second Coming.
• 3) As Believers in Jesus (Jews and Gentiles) we have the catching up in the 'air' to look forward to which is separate from the Lord's actual coming back to the earth to rule and reign.  Just as the Jews need to be on the alert about the end times for their nation, we need to be on the alert that our Lord could call us home in the rapture anyday.  Are we ready?

Mark Worksheet - Chapter 12

Worksheet - Mark 12

Review of Chapter 11:

1) We entered a new section of Mark's Gospel, the final week of the life of Jesus, as we know it, Passion Week.  Jesus will spend this week preparing His disciples for His suffering, death, burial, and resurrection; 2) Jesus sends 2 disciples to get the colt that has never been ridden before so that He can ride it into Jerusalem; 3) The crowds shout "Hosanna to the King, the Son of David" as they lay out palm branches and wave the branches in praise to Him as He rides in on the donkey; 4) Jesus goes into the temple and cleanses it of the moneychangers and those who are buying and selling livestock for the Passover festival.  He says His Father's House is to be a House of Prayer, not merchandise; 5) Jesus cursed the fig tree for sprouting leaves out of season and yet not having any fruit to eat.  This could be symbolic of the nation of Israel not bearing fruit in believing in Him since Israel is referred to as the fig tree in Old Testament prophecies; 6) The disciples are amazed that at the Word of Jesus the fig tree withered from the roots up.  Jesus takes opportunity to teach them more about the power of believing prayer; that if they say to the mountain to be cast into the sea; if they believe they have received when they pray, they will have what they ask for.  We examine our faith and wonder if we can have this kind of faith.  Yes, we can and we should exercise our faith this way; 7) Most importantly is the lesson that if we have unforgiveness in our hearts, we will not receive an answer to our prayers.  We will not receive forgiveness if we do not forgive those who have trespassed against us.  That is why so many of our prayers are impotent.  We need to forgive as Christ has forgiven us.

Mark, Chapter 12:

1.  Jesus is speaking to the chief priests and scribes and elders in Jerusalem who have just asked Him about His authority to do the things He is doing among them. 

He spoke a parable to them about Vine-growers in Mark 12:1-11.  Read the parable first and then answer these questions.

Quoting from some of Isaiah chapter 5, Jesus is clearly talking about some key players in this parable. 

Read the verse given by each and explain why that would be the logical explanation of who that represents:

• The vine-growers - the Jews or their leaders - vs.1-2 (also see Matthew 21:33; Isaiah 5:1) -
• The slaves - Old Testament prophets, many who were killed -vs. 2-5 - (also see Matthew 21:34-36 )
• Name some of the Old Testament prophets and how they were mistreated by the Israelite leaders; look up name of prophets in a concordance and see the summaries of their ministries and lives 
• The son - represents Christ, the Son of God, who was condemned to death by the Jewish religious leaders - vs. 6-8 (Also see Matthew 21:37 - 39) -

Jesus asked the Jewish leaders standing there a question..."When the owner of the vineyard (which would be God the Father) comes, what will He do to those vine-growers (the religious leaders)?" Matthew 21:40 -

• What did they say to Jesus at this point? Matthew 21:41 -
• What did Jesus confirm? Mark 12:9 -
• Jesus referred them to Psalm 118:22, asking them if they had read it before.  What does it say? vs. 10-11 -

Jesus gave an explanation of the parable saying "Therefore, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing the fruit of it." (Matthew 21:43 and Mark 12:9) - This obviously would be the Gentile nations that received the Gospel from the apostles after the Jews rejected it.

• What did the chief priests and Pharisess understand when they heard these parables Jesus spoke ot them? Matthew 21:45 and Mark 12:12 -

They didn't seize Him at that time because they feared the people who consider Jesus to be a prophet among them. (Matt.21:46 and Mark 12:12).

2.  This group of leaders went away from Jesus at that time, but they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians in order to trap Him in a statement. 

What positive aspects of His character did they acknowledge? vs. 14 -

• 1)
• 2)
• 3)
• 4)
• 5)

3.  What question did they ask Him to try to trap Him in His words? vs. 14,15 -

4.  What did Jesus know about them? vs. 15 -

5.  What did Jesus ask them? vs. 15 - 

6.  What did Jesus ask them to bring to Him? vs. 15 -

7.  When Jesus saw the denarius (the coin worth one day's wage) - He asked them whose likeness and inscription they saw on it. 

• What did they answer Him? vs. 16 -

8.  What did Jesus tell them concerning the image on the coin and what they should do in respect to paying taxes? vs. 17 -

9.  How did they react to His answer? vs. 17 -

10.  Next, some Sadducees came to Jesus and began to question Him. 

• What fact does Mark tell us about one of the religious beliefs of the Sadducees? vs. 18 -

Insight:  That makes them "Sad - U - Cee?" (that's how I remember this about them)..

Note:  The Sadducees were a section of the Jewish party that represented the wealthy and sophisticated classes.  Though they were small in number, in Jesus' day they exerted powerful political and religious influence.  Besides denying the resurrection of the dead, they only accepted the five books of Moses (the Pentateuch - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) as authoritive.  They flatly rejected the oral tradition that had been passed through Jewish elders.  These beliefs set them against the Pharisees and the common Jewish piety.

11.  The question that the Sadducees asked Jesus had to do with who a woman would marry in the resurrection if she had been married to seven different brothers because of each dying and the next taking her for a wife according to the law of Moses to raise up offspring for the sake of the brother's name.  They wanted to know whose wife she would be if she had been married to all of them? (of course they don't believe in the resurrection so it was definitely a trick question)..Jesus knowing their intentions, gave them an answer that gives us insight into what happens in the resurrection as well. 

• What did He tell them regarding marriage in heaven? vs. 25 -

12.  What did Jesus tell them regarding the resurrection, that the dead do rise again?  Who is He God of - the dead or the living? vs. 26-27 -

13.  One of the scribes came to Jesus when he heard them arguing.  He saw that Jesus had answered them well.  His question for Jesus was "What commandment is foremost of all?" 

• How did Jesus answer him? vs. 29 -

Note:  This is a quote from the Old Testament from Deuteronomy 6:5. This quote from the book of Moses became known as the Shema, named after the first word in Hebrew,which means "Hear".  The Shema became the Jewish confession of faith, which was recited by pious Jews every morning and evening.  To this day, it begins every synagogue service.

14.  To the Shema, Jesus joined another Old Testament quote from Leviticus 19:18. 

• What was it that He said was the second greatest commandment given? vs. 31 -

15.  Why do you believe that these are the greatest two commandments?  If you obey these, would you essentially be obeying all of the commandments that God has given?

16.  Love is the greatest theme of the Bible.  The most common of all Scriptures quoted is:  "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" - John 3:16. 

Look up the Bible terms for the meaning of love.  You will find that in the Greek, there is agape love, which is the love God has for us, and there is phileo love.  See if you can find the difference of the two in a Bible dictionary tool:

• 1) agape
• 2)phileo

Ponder:  What shows that we love the Lord our God with all our heart?  How do we know we love the Lord our God with all of our soul?  What is the soul?  What shows that we love the Lord our God with all of our mind?  Do we love the Lord our God with all of our strength?  How can we know?  Do we love our neighbor as we love ourself?  Do we love ourself?  If these are commandments of God, are we sinning not to love ourselves?  How can we begin to love ourselves so that we can properly love others?

17.  The scribe said back to Jesus that He was correct in these commandments being the greatest and that loving the Lord and one's neighbor was much more than burnt offerings and sacrifices. 

• When the man answered Jesus back in this way with understanding, what did Jesus say to him? vs. 34 -

Note:  After this, no one ventured to ask Jesus questions.  As Jesus taught in the temple, He began to ask them "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?"  ..... He quoted them the Old Testament verse of Psalm 110:1 - David speaking says...."The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, until I put your enemies beneath Your feet.'.....Jesus said to them:  David himself called Him 'Lord'; so in what sense is He his son? - The purpose of this teaching was for Jesus to show that the Messiah was more than a descendant of David - he was also David's Lord.

18.  As Jesus taught the Jewish people in the synagogues, He warned them to beware of the scribes.  What reasons did He give for them to be on guard against their teachings and behavior? vs. 38-40

• 1)
• 2)
• 3)
• 4)
• 5)
• 6)

What did He say these religious hyprocrits would receive in judgment? vs. 40 -

19.  Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and began to observe how the people were putting money into the treasury.  Many rich people were putting in large sums.  Then a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.  Jesus called His disciples over to teach them a valuable lesson. 

• What did He tell them in reference to the widow's offering and those who gave from their surplus?  vs. 44 -

20.  In the New Testament, how are we taught to give our financial offerings to God?

• 2 Corinthians 8:12 -
• 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 -

21.  When we give from such a willing and cheerful heart for the purpose of pleasing God and not man, what does God promise to do for us?

• 2 Corinthians 9:8-9-
• 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 -
• Matthew 6:31-34 -

Review & Reflect:

• 1) In the Parable of the Vine-growers, we saw that this represented the religious leaders of Israel; how God had prophesied this in the Old Testament and how they fulfilled the rejection of the Lord.  They beat and killed prophets the Lord sent to them along the way.  When He finally sent the nation of Israel His Only Son, they would kill Him as well.  God would give the fruit of the kingdom to another nation, all who were not of the Jewish race - the Gentile nations.  We know from our other studies that God is not finished with the nation of Israel yet.  Amen.
• 2) We saw the Pharisees, the Herodians, the Sadducees, and the Scribes all try to trap Jesus in quesitons about the Jewish laws.  He was asked about paying taxes to Caesar.  Jesus said to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's."  He was asked about the greatest commandents and He told them to love the Lord with all of their being and to love their neighbor as themselves. 
• 3) Jesus taught that the Messiah was not only the son of David, coming from him as a descendant, but that David recognized Him as his own "Lord".  This was from Psalm 110:1. 
• 4) Jesus told the Jewish crowds that He taught in the synagogues to beware of the piety and hypocrisy of the Scribes; that their judgment would bring about a greater condemnation; for they pretended one thing but were quite different on the inside. 
• 5) Jesus taught the kind of giving that pleases God.  It is not giving out of our surplus like the rich who like to make a show of it; it is giving all that we have to God like the poor widow who gave all that she had to live on.  We looked at the New Testament pattern of giving.  We are to give according to what we have, not what we don't have.  We are to give as we have purposed in our hearts and do so cheerfully which God loves.  When we sow sparingly, we will reap sparingly.  When we sow bountifully, we will reap bountifully.  It is the law of sowing and reaping.  When we give first to His kingdom and righteousness, He takes care of all of our needs.  Amen.
