Here’s the rest of the Gospel of Mark.
The Gospel of Mark has sort of taken a turn. Instead of stories of Jesus performing miracles in the middle of nowhere, it now talks more about people testing Jesus and Jesus teaching people of the right way.
In this point of the story, Jesus enters Jerusalem, where the people greet him and ask him for help. It’s too bad that this won’t last too long, since we all know what happens to Jesus. You know what would be cool? Terminator going back in time to save Jesus.
As I saw Jesus answer every question/test the people gave him, I thought ‘Wow, this guy sure knows how to stay out of trouble’. Every time Jesus said something to someone else about what they should do and stuff like that, I was like ‘Yeah, that is true’, or something like that.
Look at this quote Jesus said to his disciples when they see a poor widow put in all her money in the treasury:
“Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.” (Gospel of Mark 12:43,44)
I totally agree with this quote. Think about it. If you are Bill Gates and you donate one million dollars to an orphanage, it would actually cost less than a poor person donating that much money. You know what I mean.
From here, the story is known by most ‘somewhat knowledgeable people’. Judas betrays Jesus, but then suicides. Jesus is crucified, but then reincarnated in three days.
Yay. I finished the gospel. This was actually more interesting than some other things I have read, one of them being ‘The Analects’.
So yeah. Cool. I’ll be starting a new gospel next week.
