It Was A Miracle

The Gospel According to St. Mark Chapters 1-6

We start as Jesus already an adult. To my surprise, John, my dear John appears Baptizing Jesus. "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan." (1:9)It turned out to be St. John was a great St. Baptizing Jesus doesnt happen everyday. Even so, it is Mark here who should be the protagonist, since actually this is the Gospel According to St. Mark, not Jhon.

When Jesus was near some fisherman, he said: "And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." (1:17)How to fish men instead of fish. By that time, I would simply continue fishing my fish, since everybody likes food, needs food, and demands food. Fishing men...what can you actually do with men? Work? I guess fishing for followers is a better reason.

Mark tells us about Jesus great miracles. "And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed." (1:42) Cleaning a leprose, resurrecting a girl, and multiplying bread and fish to thousands of people. He just did miracles like any day routine. He would just say "I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; in so much that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion." (2:11-12) It turns out to be that miracles are the new fashion now.

Leaving my bad knowldege of my own religion aside, I still couldnt beleive that Jesus could only get faith through people by just miracles. His apostles did not understand what Jesus would say, until he made another miracle. When Jesus suddenly came walking on the water towards them, they finally realized that this dude was powerful.
