Proper 10

Mark 6.14-29

Following the footsteps - Week 6 of 7

Seven weeks in which we explore who Mark’s Jesus is and ask what it means to become his apprentice.

Speak out

Jesus’ name is becoming known, and theories circulate as to who he is. John the Baptist is imprisoned and Jesus sends him a message of support before Herod has John the Baptist killed.

This week's reading, Mark 6.14-29, provides us with an opportunity to:

  • explore the complex motives of the characters in the story of the beheading of John the Baptist (AAA & CYP)
  • appreciate that disciples are prepared to speak out about what is right (AAA & CYP).

These resources were first published in Issue 60 July/August 2012.
