MARK 5-
21 And he
said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed?
and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there
is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept
secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any
man have ears to hear, let him hear.

NEW [Past links- verses below]
Jesus and his men arrive by boat to new spot-
Mark 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into
the country of the Gadarenes.
A man meets them- he is demon possessed and the bible says
he was in the graveyards day and night- cutting himself- and no man could chain
him [stop him]-
Mark 5:2 And when he was come
out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an
unclean spirit, Mark 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
When the man meets Jesus- the demons in him recognize that
he is the Son of God-
Mark
5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
Jesus asks the man his name- the man [or demons in him]
respond ‘my name is Legion- for we are many’.
The demoniac implores Jesus not to send them out of this
area-
Mark 5:10
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Jesus permits them to go into a herd of pigs feeding- the
pigs run into the water and are drowned-
Mark
5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.Mark 5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Mark 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
The people of the region see the man- now healed- and in his
right mind.
It scares them- and they want Jesus to leave-
Mark
5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the
country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.Mark 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Mark 5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Mark 5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
The man who Jesus delivered wants to join the group- and go with
Jesus-
Mark
5:18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the
devil prayed him that he might be with him.
But Jesus tells him to go back home- and tell the people
what ‘great things the Lord has done for you’-
Mark 5:19
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and
tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion
on thee.
Now- as Jesus walks along with his men- a ruler of the synagogue-
Jairus- comes and tells Jesus that he has a daughter who is very sick-
Mark
5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by
name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,Mark 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death
‘Jesus- come and lay your hands on her- so she can be
healed’-
:
I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she
shall live.
So they go to the man’s house- the crowd is rubbing up
against Jesus-
Then- all of a sudden- Jesus says ‘who touched me’?
His men say ‘look how many people are touching you- how can
you ask a question like that’ [my paraphrase]-
Mark 5:31
And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and
sayest thou, Who touched me?
But Jesus sensed that the power to heal was actually
accessed- that someone touched him in faith- and received something-
Mark
5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
Sure enough there was a woman who had a sickness for 12
years- she thought ‘if I get close enough- and even maybe just touch his
clothes- I will get healed’-
Mark 5:28
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
Yes- she was the one Jesus was talking about.
She admits it was her-
Mark
5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came
and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
That’s ok- her faith
made her whole- and she sought the Lord.
Now- they are still on the way to Jairus’s house- some messengers
come and tell Jairus ‘don’t bother coming- your daughter has died’-
Mark
5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house
certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any
further?
Jesus looks at Jairus ‘just believe’-
Mark 5:36
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the
synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
They arrive at the house- The people are in disarray- I mean
a little child just passed away-
Mark 5:38
And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult,
and them that wept and wailed greatly.
Jesus says ‘she’s just sleeping’-
Mark
5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and
weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
They laughed him to scorn-
Mark 5:40
And they laughed him to scorn.
But he goes into the room- and raises the girl from the dead-
Mark
5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which
is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.Mark 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
She was 12 years old.
You see- this day Jesus was empowered [anointed] in a special
way-
For a special mission.
He was on the way to undo 12 years of death.
He was on a mission.
And as this anointing was upon him- sure enough another
person- who also had 12 years of death working in her body.
She ‘made a withdrawal’ from this healing anointing-
Mark
5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
It was O.k. with Jesus- don’t get me wrong.
But he was on the way to raise that 12 year old girl from
the dead.
And he did indeed raise her.
In this chapter we see the ongoing ministry of Jesus- and
how the miracles he was doing were testifying to he was.
The Son of God- the Messiah-
30 And
many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are
not written in this book:
31 But
these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20
But he also did them for another reason.
These people were hurting- tormented- and dying.
And the Son of man came to destroy the works of the devil-
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.
And Jesus was on a mission.
It will culminate at the Cross- and the empty grave.
But he loved the people so much- that he also destroyed the
works of the devil every chance he could.
Just ask the man they called ‘Legion’.
PAST LINKS- POSTS- [My past teaching that relates to today’s
post ‘Mark 5’.
MARK-
I quoted from these bible books on Today’s video- MARK 5-
below are my complete studies on those books-
Below are parts of my past teaching that relate-
(871)ROMANS 15:1-7 ‘we then that
are strong [more mature] ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not
please ourselves’. In Philippians we have the ‘KENOSIS’ the act of Jesus, who
being in the form of God, thought it not something to be used for his own
advantage. He did not see his purpose in the kingdom as one of ‘let’s find out
our rights in the covenant and posses what’s rightfully ours’. A few years back
it was common to hear ‘God told me his people don’t have a problem with giving
[oh really?] but they need to learn how to receive’. While there might be a
‘speck’ of truth in this, the overall ethos of the kingdom [according to Jesus
and Paul] is ‘we are not here to please ourselves, but give up our rights and
blessings for the purpose of pleasing others’ [building them up, edifying
them]. Paul makes this statement right after the chapter on Christian
convictions. He shows us that even if we are right on a particular issue, it is
‘more right’ to not offend or put a stumbling block in our brother’s path. It
is possible to ‘be right’ in a particular doctrine or truth, and yet ‘be wrong’
in that we might have used it in a way that destroyed the purpose of God in
building others up. Many in the church [at large!] have unwittingly ‘tore down’
the poor and oppressed by seeking ‘their own pleasure’. Many overseas countries
have been hurt by the amount of pleasure seeking doctrines that went into their
countries. Many 3rd world Pastors gave sacrificially out of their
extreme poverty to rich American ‘pleasure seekers’ and their poor people
suffered greatly when they did not get a literal 100 fold return as was
promised. Paul said ‘we that are strong ought to help the weak, and not please
ourselves’.

The renaissance was the 13-14th century revival of
culture and learning that was lost for centuries- It began in Florence Italy.
The catch phrase for it was ‘Ad Fontes’ meaning ‘back to the sources’- both in
philosophy- as well as in Christian learning.
This began a revival of studying the Greek New testament again
from its original language.
The Catholic Humanist- Desiderius Erasmus [15-16th
century] - re introduced the New Testament in the Greek version [He was referred
to as a Dutch renaissance Humanist- as well as a Catholic Priest and scholar]
Now- Erasmus was a critic of the Church- like Luther- but chose a
‘middle road’- he did not join the breakaway Protestant Reformers- but chose to
stay within the fold of Rome- while speaking out against the abuses he saw.
But his first Greek translation of the New Testament did indeed
set a spark- because it allowed the Priests to see the bible in its original
language.
And Luther was actually teaching this book of Romans to his
students in Germany when the Reformation began.
Today the Catholic Church [as you can see in the official
Catechism that I have been posting] does indeed teach the bible as God’s Word.
The divisions between Protestants and Catholics are many- but they
did agree that the bible was the Word of God.
Some Protestants do not know this- they think the church holds
Tradition higher than the bible.
No- the church does believe that God speaks both thru tradition-
and scripture.
They see the tradition of the church as simply another means by
which God uses the church [Magisterium] to explain scripture- but the Catholic
Church does not elevate tradition over the bible.
And indeed- it was a catholic scholar- Erasmus- who introduced the
first Geek version of the New Testament.
NOTE- Erasmus disagreed with Luther on the doctrine of
Predestination- which I covered in the last video. Luther was for it- Erasmus
was what we would call ‘Free Will’.
In his writings- which were very influential- he wrote in Greek
and Latin- the language of the elites.
He did this on purpose- for his target was the influential leaders
of the Church.
He rejected offers of money- because he did not want to align
himself with any particular movement- so he could be an independent writer with
no strings attached.
He had many criticisms of the Catholic Church- and was very
influential for the later reforms- those we see at the Council of Trent [Though
the church criticized him- they said he ‘Laid the egg that hatched the
Reformation’].
He taught that the church/priests/popes should be the servants of
the people-
He rejected the idea that the Priests/leaders made up the ‘whole
of the church’- but he believed all believers made up the true church.
Erasmus was a firebrand in his own way- rejecting the language
that Luther and some of the reformers used [they were vulgar at times]-
Luther respected the works of Erasmus- he thanked Erasmus for
debating with him on the nature of Justification by Faith-
He disagreed in the end- but said this debate was at the heart of
the gospel- and was glad that Erasmus was willing to engage.
RENAISSANCE ARTISTS-
The famous renaissance artists- DaVinci- Michelangelo- Raphael-
used their artwork as a form of knowledge- the images taught things- they were
not just paintings.
DaVinci’s most famous work was his painting on the ceiling of the
Sistine chapel in the Vatican.
It took him 4 years to complete.
The renaissance period- from about the 13/14th century
to the 17th- [though there was a sort of Renaissance that took
place- yes- in the Islamic world before the European Renaissance] was marked by
what we term Humanism.
Today we associate this term with ‘secular Humanism’ which often
has a bad connotation- especially among Christians.
But it meant something different back then.
It was a new focus on breaking the limits off of man- and for man
to excel in knowledge and skill- and to see man as having value.
There was somewhat of a break away from the church in a sense- in
that the church and its teachings were not the only source of wisdom for man.
But- Jesus himself taught that ‘the Sabbath was made for man- not
man for the Sabbath’- so- the Humanist spirit- elevating the value of man- does
have a Christian basis in my view.
Leonardo daVinci [15/16th century] was what we refer to
as a true Renaissance man- meaning his knowledge was in many fields- not just
art.
He actually considered himself a sculptor first- then an artist-
though he is most famous for his Fresco mentioned above.
Here’s my study on The
Reformation-
And my past teaching on the
Western intellectual tradition-
VERSES-
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf,
as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blindas the Lord's servant?
Hebrews
11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of
God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John
forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
[parts]
(1335) GALATIANS 5- Paul’s main theme is if we
possess the Spirit as believers [being indwelt by God’s Spirit] then let us
also walk in/by the Spirit, as opposed to trying to please God by the law and
being circumcised. Paul will use the somewhat controversial term ‘ye are fallen
from grace’ which simply means that these Gentile believers started by faith
and went back to the old Jewish system, much like the themes in the book of
Hebrews. Paul says when you go back to the law you have left grace. Christ has
‘become of no effect to you, you who are justified by the law’. This is a good
example of how words and certain phrases can develop over the centuries of
church history and develop a different meaning over time. In essence the bible
does teach that a person can ‘fall from grace’ but this does not describe what
the modern reader might think. The first church father who attempted to formulate
the Christian doctrine of the Trinity was a man named Tertullian, he lived in
the second century and was what theologians refer to as one of the Latin
fathers [as opposed to the Greek ones- Origen, etc.] Tertullian was famous for
the sayings ‘what does Jerusalem have to do with Athens’ and ‘I believe because
it is absurd’ he was resisting the influence of Greek philosophy on the church,
he felt that Greek wisdom was influencing the church too much. He was trained
in law before becoming a theologian [like Luther and Calvin of 16th
century Reformation fame] and he used the words ‘God is one substance/essence
and also three persons’ later church councils would agree with this language.
But the word ‘person’ at Tertullian’s time was the Latin word ‘personi’ which
was taken from the theater and meant a person/actor who would put on different
masks during the play; the word had a little different meaning then what we
think of today as ‘person’. Later centuries would come to condemn certain
Christian groups who seem to have formulated language on the Trinity that
expresses the same thing as what the original developer of the doctrine meant
to say, but because words and their meanings change over time we get ourselves
into disputes that might be getting us off track. Paul also tells the Galatians
that if they become circumcised that they are obligating themselves to keep all
the law. Of course the medical procedure that many have done in our day is not
what he is speaking about, but in Paul’s day getting circumcised was the
religious rite that placed you into the religion of Judaism, and this is what
Paul is refuting among the Galatians, he tells them not to go down that road.
This chapter has lots of good ‘memory verses’, the famous lists of the works of
the flesh versus the fruit of the Spirit are found here, and it seems pretty
clear to me that Paul identified circumcision with the moral law of the 10
commandments, that is he saw being circumcised as an act that obligated you to
‘keep all the law’ some theologians are discussing whether or not Paul meant
the law of Moses when speaking about going ‘back under the law’ some think Paul
was speaking only of the ceremonial law and the system of animal sacrifices
when he was telling the gentiles that they should not go under the law, I
believe if you read Paul in context both in this letter and the book of Romans,
that he is speaking of the moral law too, not just the ceremonial law. All in
all Paul exhorts these believers to fight for their right to be free from the past
restraints of religion and bondage, he tells them to not desire to go back
under a system of bondage, that Christ has made us free from that legalistic
way of life and he has liberated us by giving us the Holy Spirit- if we ‘walk
in the Spirit we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, for the flesh lusts
against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh, and these two are contrary
one to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you would’ amen to
that.

thou hast made him a little lower than theangels, and hast crowned him
with glory and honour.
Thou
madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with
glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
But
we see Jesus, who was made a little lower thanthe angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory
and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for
every man.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need
that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and
safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child; and they
shall not escape. ...
