Mark 6:1-10
Step III: Immediate Context
(FS) A. IMMEDIATE CONTEXT
Pre: The pericope of 6:1-6(7-13) follows a string of miracles in Chapter
5. Exorcisms, healings, a raising from the dead-- all done by Jesus in
response to faith.
Post: vv. 6b-13 deal with the Mission of the Twelve, followed by the death of John
the Baptist. (Interesting that even Herod reacts to Jesus with a semblance
of faith, but not the hometown crowd!)
