    Mark's gospel is the shortest among the four gospels in the New Testament. This is because Mark's gospel focuses more on the actions and events in the life of Jesus rather than elaborate teachings or lengthy discourses. Mark's writing style is concise and straightforward, presenting a fast-paced narrative of Jesus' ministry. The brevity of Mark's gospel allows for a quick and accessible read, making it a popular choice for those seeking a concise overview of Jesus' life and teachings.

    Mark reads like a _____ play

    • Screen

    • Screen

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Screen
    A. Screen
    Explanation
    The word "screen" is used twice in the options, once with a lowercase "s" and once with an uppercase "S". Since the question does not provide any context or additional information, it is difficult to determine the intended meaning. However, both "screen" and "Screen" can be used to describe a type of play that is performed on a screen or projected onto a screen, such as a film or a multimedia production. Therefore, either option could be considered correct depending on the interpretation.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Mark's gospel is very _______-driven

    • Action

    • Action

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Action
    A. Action
    Explanation
    Mark's gospel is very action-driven. The word "action" refers to the fact that Mark's gospel focuses heavily on the actions and deeds of Jesus rather than his teachings or inner thoughts. This gospel emphasizes the active and dynamic nature of Jesus' ministry, highlighting his miracles, healings, and interactions with people. The use of the word "action" in both lowercase and uppercase suggests that it is a suitable description for Mark's gospel, regardless of the specific formatting.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Peter was martyred in the _____'s

    • 60's

    • 60s

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 60's
    A. 60s
    Explanation
    Peter was martyred in the 60's or 60s. The apostrophe in "60's" indicates that it is a contraction of the word "1960s," referring to the decade in which Peter was martyred. The lack of an apostrophe in "60s" suggests that it is an abbreviation of the same word, also referring to the same time period. Both forms are commonly used to indicate the decade of the 1960s.

    • 7

    • 9

    • 14

    Correct Answer
    A. 14
    Explanation
    In chapter 14 of the book of Mark, there is a passage that describes a young man, believed to be John Mark, running away naked. This incident occurs during Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. As Jesus is being seized by the soldiers, the young man, who was likely sleeping nearby, tries to escape but leaves his clothing behind. This event is only mentioned in Mark's gospel and is seen as a unique detail that adds to the overall narrative of Jesus' betrayal and arrest.

    • Teenager - young and foolish

    • Elderly gentleman

    • Young adult

    Correct Answer
    A. Middle-aged man
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "middle-aged man." This implies that John Mark was not too young or too old when he wrote the gospel. Being a middle-aged man suggests that he had enough life experience and maturity to accurately convey the events and teachings of Jesus.

    • John Marks

    • John Mark's

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. John Mark
    A. John Marks
    A. John Mark's
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "John Mark, John Marks, John Mark's" because the question is asking who Barnabbus's cousin is, and all three options provide different variations of the name "John Mark." It is possible that Barnabbus has multiple cousins named John Mark, hence the inclusion of all three options.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Does the gospel of Mark care about Jewish law & principles?

    • Yes

    • No

    • Huh?

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The gospel of Mark does not prioritize Jewish law and principles. Throughout the gospel, Mark emphasizes the teachings and actions of Jesus, portraying him as a figure who challenges traditional Jewish customs and beliefs. Jesus is depicted as breaking Sabbath laws, disregarding dietary restrictions, and criticizing the religious leaders of his time. This suggests that Mark's gospel places less importance on Jewish law and principles and focuses more on the message and mission of Jesus.

    • The early church

    Correct Answer
    A. The death and resurrection of Jesus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the death and resurrection of Jesus." The statement in the question suggests that a significant portion of the gospel focuses on Jesus' death and resurrection. This aligns with the central theme of Christianity, as these events are considered pivotal in the redemption and salvation of humanity. The death and resurrection of Jesus are key elements in the narrative of the gospel, emphasizing his sacrifice and triumph over death.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that less than 10% of Mark's gospel is original. This means that the majority of the gospel is not original and may have been borrowed or adapted from other sources. Therefore, the answer "True" indicates that the statement is correct and less than 10% of Mark's gospel is indeed original content.
