Mark 1:40-2:12 – October 20th 2017

What is leprosy and how would that impact someone; socially, culturally, religiously?
What does he ask Jesus to do, how does Jesus heal him, and why is it surprising?
How does the man respond to Jesus and what impact does that have on Jesus and his ministry?
What was Jesus doing in Capernaum?
Who is brought to Jesus and how? What does this demonstrate?
What does Jesus see? What does he say?
How do the scribes feel about it and why?
What does Jesus want everyone to know?
Compare and contrast the two healings and the two responses.

What do Jesus miraculous healings reveal about his identity and his mission?
What can we learn from all the individuals about how to respond, and how not to respond to Jesus? (consider those healed, those with them, the crowds, the scribes, etc.)
