The Gospel According to Mark



1. JC does a miracle
Tells folks not to tell anyone about it

2. JC does an exorcism
Tells folks not to tell anyone about it

3. Next a combination
Exorcism & miracle
The same admonition

3. A group of people follows JC
He recites a cryptic parable They don't quite understand
He assures the apostles they can know
The story behind the story
JC & apostles exit to under the eaves
So he can reveal this
(We don't get to hear what he says)

4. Pharisees, King Herod & his supporters
Are scandalized by JC & condemn him
JC delivers them a witty rejoinder

5. JC berates his apostles as dumbasses

6. Another miracle

7. Another exorcism

8. Then things begin to break down
Kingdom of Heaven references
Grow weirder
More violent
More elaborate
"The Son of Man The Son of Man" He keeps saying Not clear who or what that is

9. JC's arrested in a park
It's a strange scene
Clashes with the Roman guards
A boy in a linen cloth
Runs away naked

10. The trial
The crucifixion

11. The cave
The boulder

12.Days later
JC's not there
A kid sitting inside
The cave tells the women
Come to visit the body
That he rose up
The women exit the tomb
And run away
