Questions, Confrontations and Challenges

Exposition of the Gospel of Mark. Summary: Three challenges are brought to Christ which end in the silencing of His critics (Vs. 34). Christ then issues His own challenge concerning Himself and His claim to Deity (Vs. 35-37). Then, Christ once again exposes the fake façade of the religious leaders (Vs. 38-40) and commends a poor widow whose genuine faith and piety stand in contrast to the corruption of the religious establishment (Vs. 41-44).
