• Mark 5:1-20 – Some argue that there is a discrepancy here because the parallel passage in Matthew 8:28-34 refers to two men. It is probably the case that Matthew is simply recording more information by noticing the second man.
  • Mark 5:21-34 – Jesus heals a woman who touches His garment.
  • Mark 5:35-43 – Jesus heals Jairus’ daughter.
  • Mark 6:1-6 – Jesus teaches in Nazareth, but is not honored as He is elsewhere.
    • Mark 6:3 – Note that Jesus had three brothers and at least two sisters. This directly contradicts the teaching of some who argue that Mary was a perpetual virgin.
  • Mark 6:7-13 – Jesus sends the twelve out to teach.
    • Mark 6:8-9 – God will provide! Jesus expected the twelve to have faith that God would provide for them.
  • Mark 6:14-29 – Herod executes John.
    • Mark 6:26 – Herod has to deal with the consequences of a rash oath. He should have repented of the oath rather than follow through with it.
