Notes

Mark 4:35–41

  • This passage focuses on the greatness of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The authority of Jesus over the forces of nature showed that he is divine (truly God).

  • the other side: The eastern side of the Sea of Galilee was the region of the Gerasenes (5:1).

  • The presence of other boats following him shows how popular Jesus had become.

Mark 4:35–5:43

The three miracle stories in this section are connected by:

  • a shared location (the Sea of Galilee),

  • the presence of the disciples,

  • the use of a boat, and
