Blind Man's Blog
Blog entries about the gospel of Mark. I don't claim to be right or wrong. Some blog entries contain my own original ideas, while some entries contain my personal way of expounding the ideas of others. I don't have a college degree. I am an amateur exegete, and merely a Gospel of Mark enthusiast. It's fun pretending like I know what I'm talking about! I think it is best to read Mark as if I've never known another gospel. Perhaps he would have preferred that we all do so?

Isaiah 29:11-12
For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”
