Christ in Mark’s *Gospel
An EasyEnglish Bible Commentary (1200 word vocabulary) on the Gospel of Mark
Keith Simons
This commentary has been through Advanced Checking.
The word list explains words with a *star by them.
Last part: Jesus explains the story about the seeds
Verses 21-25
The only purpose for a *lamp is to give light. Nobody hides a *lamp.
The *lamp was like God’s message. Jesus had told God’s message to the *disciples. And they must tell it to other people.
God’s message is like something that is valuable. Usually, a person loses something valuable if he does not keep it. But light is different. It is only valuable if people can see it. A person wastes it if he does not give the light away.
So God wanted the *disciples to take his message to many people. If they did that, they would not lose the message! Instead, they would receive even more!
Next part: Only God can save
