A sequence of miracles—from walking on water to feeding 4,000—reveals both Jesus’ divine authority and the persistent spiritual blindness of those around him. As Jesus heals Jews and Gentiles alike, Mark emphasizes the themes of hardened hearts, misunderstanding Jesus’ messiahship, and the expanding of God’s kingdom. A Gentile woman’s trust and a blind man’s gradual healing serve as metaphors for growing spiritual insight. Verses: Mark 6:30-8:26; Exod. 20:12; Deut. 5:16; Isa. 29:13; Isa. 35; Lev. 11 Teacher: Jerry Wierwille
