Mark 12:38-13:23
Mark 12:38-40 – Jesus warns about the pride of the scribes in how they sought out the places of prestige in he synagogues and feasts.
Mark 12:41-44 – The widow gives all that she has into the treasury. The question we should ask is, “How should I give?” – not “How much should I give?” It’s not eh amount that impresses the Lord. It’s the disposition with which it is given.
Mark 13:1-13 – Jesus prophesies about the destruction of the temple. All these prophecies relate to events preceding the destruction of the Jerusalem.
Mark 13:14-23 – Josephus records that no Christians were killed in the destruction of Jerusalem. See also Daniel 9-11.

I Timothy 1:1-7
Timothy and Ephesus
Dates
“The Pastoral Epistles”?
- The word pastors only appears once in the New Testament (Ephesians 4:11).
- Paul uses the word servant and evangelist (I Timothy 4:6; II Timothy 4:5). Nowhere in the New Testament do we read anything about one man leading a congregation. The word pastor is referring to an elder or bishop. All three are the same role.
I Timothy 1:2,18 – Paul repeatedly referred to Timothy as his son or his child in the faith. This seems to have been a term of endearment. Possibly Timothy was converted through Paul’s teaching. Compare Matthew 23:9.
I Timothy 1:3-4 – See II Peter 1:16.
