Reading Notes Part A

For this reading, I will be taking note on the Gospel of Mark.

John was a baptist who practiced in the wilderness, he wore the skin of beasts and only ate bugs and honey. Jesus came to John and was baptized by him. When he was being baptised the heavens opened up and the Lord showed his grace to John.
John was put into prison shortly after this.
After this Jesus began his journey gaining followers. He went to the land of Capernaum where he met a sick man. He was preaching the gospel when a man broke through the roof and was lowered down to him because there was no room to get in from the door. Jesus blessed him and forgave him of his sins. The man then took up the bed he came in on and walked out. The surrounding people were amazed. Jesus also ate and drank with sinners. He said He had not come to lead the righteous to heaven but the sinners away from sin. Jesus gained 12 followers throughout his journey and they were to be called his disciples.
One one of Jesus's journies he ran into a man possessed by evil spirits. He cried at the man's feet and prayed that God would free him from these demons. The devil then left the man and entered a nearby swine. Again people were surprised, and Jesus told them that this was the grace of God that healed this man, he told them to turn and praise him.
John the Baptist was put to death in the prison he was heald in. Jesus told of his practices and praised him for them.

He disregarded the warning and kept moving. Once again he heard someone yell stop. He looked around again and he saw nothing until he heard a voice say "Walk over me, or move out of the way." The coyote looked down and found a snake in the path right below him. The snake said that he has been traveling this trail for years and he would simply not move. The coyote said the same thing and that he would simply not move. The coyote said he would have to keep going if the snake moved or not. The snake made the threat that if the coyote stepped over him the snake would have no choice but to kill him. The coyote didn't believe him and called his bluff. He walked over him and the snake bit the coyote. The coyote didn't feel anything and then mocked the snake. The coyote kept walking on and when he got to the...
