CHAPTER

The Parable of the Kingdom of God in Mark Chapter 4

In Mark chapter 4 we move into Jesus use of parables. Once again he is surrounded by a large crowd as he has been in the previous chapters. He goes out onto the sea on a boat and teaches them on the land from the boat. The fact that each of the gospels see fit to tell us where Jesus was teaching from suggests that maybe it is an interesting and important detail to note. Each one of them think it is important enough to register within their account, why is that the case? Perhaps because the sea more generally is associated with the symbolism of the Gentiles.
