Mark 6 - Introduction

CHAPTER 6.

AT NAZARETH. MISSION OF THE TWELVE. HEROD AND JOHN. FEEDING OF THE THOUSANDS. SEA INCIDENT.

The first two of the miscellaneous group of narratives contained in this chapter (Mark 6:1-13) are regarded by some (Weiss, Schanz, etc.) as forming the conclusion of a division of the Gospel beginning at Mark 3:7, having for its general heading: The disciplecircle versus the unreceptive multitude. Such analysis of the Gospels into distinct masses is useful provided it be not overdone.
