Who was Mark?
Who
were the Pharisees and Sadducees?
Read Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7.
Mark - Among the authors
of the Gospels, we know the least about Mark. We know that he was a missionary
companion of Paul, Peter, and several other missionaries. Many biblical
scholars believe that Peter directed Mark to record the events of the Savior’s
life. Mark’s Gospel was likely written before the other three. Draw some of the images that come to your
mind when reading these scriptures.
Pharisees and Sadducees - The Pharisees were members of a
Jewish religious party who prided themselves on strict observance of the law of
Moses and its rituals. The Sadducees were a wealthy Jewish class with great
religious and political influence; they did not believe in the doctrine of
resurrection. Both groups had strayed from the original intent of God’s laws.
Daily scripture tracing thought:
January 24, 2023 - Matthew 3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
