Listen "They Seemed To Be Pillars."
Episode Synopsis
In the previous passage, verses 21-28, the direction of movement was out. Here, it is in - from the synagogue (representing Judaism of the diaspora) to the “house” of Simon (representing the temple, thus the Judaism of Jerusalem). And in that house, Jesus does exactly what he had done to the demon-possessed man - he brings healing through the gospel. This parallel is meant to show that the Jews in Jerusalem are in no different a position than those in diaspora: both need the gospel. Join me in a discussion of Mark 1:28-34.Notes:2 Samuel 7:5-7Galatians 1:1, 15-16; 2:9εὐθὺς (evthys) - immediately οἶκος (oikos) - houseστῦλοι (styli) - pillars δοκέo (dokeio) - to seem, to appear soπενθερὰ (penthera) - mother-in-lawhttps://www.ocabspress.org/new-testament-products/vol-41-mark-part-1“Rumeta” performed by 3rd Eye Girl.Photo by Tim Mossholder: https://www.pexels.com/photo/brown-and-white-concrete-building-3690734/
