JLE#15: Reading Notes Gospel of Mark, Part B

 Part B Notes

Notes:

For part B of these reading unit, I was most interested in the story of when Jesus first entered in Jerusalem.  Jesus and his disciples first entered the city and were not accepted well by the priests.  The people loved His doctrine and that frightened the priests.  As I was reading, I could only think what if the priests did accept his doctrine?  What changes would have occurred in the treatment of Jesus in the gospel of Mark?  The Pharisees themselves were amongst the priests as well and would still have sought out to destroy who they saw as a threat to their traditional ways.  I would maybe like to take a turn away from that in my retelling of this story.  I think it would be interesting to write about the “what if” and provide conjecture as to what would have happened if Jesus were to not be captured.

As far as the last supper and the arrest go, I would like to change how some things went down.  The last supper would not be as negative as it is.  Even though what is being said is truth and Jesus knows one of the disciples will betray him.  My hope is to eliminate that and maybe find an alternative to Judas.  Jesus had already forgiven Judas before he even set-in motion a chain of events that would lead to the demise of his teacher.

JLE#27: Week 7 Story

 Story Photo by Brandon Montrone from Pexels The monk began his pilgrimage through the forest just before dawn.  He did not want to attract any natural predators of the forest by making his way through there at a later hour in the evening.  As he was walking through the forest, he could only think about the news he and his companions heard in the monastery.  Two young girls’ mother and brother attacked and eaten by a panther!  “How terrible” he thought to himself and as the thought slowly slipped from his mind, he began to hasten his pace throughout the forest.  He was passing an immense tree when he saw a figure running towards him in red.  A girl had stopped in front of him and asked him “if anyone is following me tell them you have not seen anyone in this forest” and the monk agreed.  The girl continued to sprint at an impressive rate and soon the monk no longer saw her.  Not long after the encounter with the girl, the monk began to take a break when suddenly a beautiful horse cov
