Mark 4

Chapter 7

"You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."

"You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own trations!"

"Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'"

"For from within, out of men's hears, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly."

There is a parable about children, dogs, bread. "First let the children eat all they want, for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."

"But even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumb." It seems that why her daughter is possessed by devil is she is hungury.

Jesus healed people again.

Chapter 8

Jesus feeds 4000 people at Tyre and Sidon by seven loaves and a few small fish.

When he went to Dalmanutha, he and his disciples were questioned by Pharisess. He had to leave.

Jesus' disciples relied on Jesus so much that they do not care about their provisions. When Jesus told them be careful about the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod, they are suspicious and scared in that they might starve. Jesus told them they need be confident.

Jesus healed people again. It seems that Jesus healed people wherever he visits and he is afraid that people know he can heal the hardest disease.

When Jesus was at Bethsaida, most people thought him as other prophets.

Jesus told his disciples that he would be killed and rise three days later. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good it is for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?"
