Mark 12 Authority

Notes Mark 11b and 12

Mk 11:15-26

Jesus clears the Temple …Again.

Doing what needed done. He didn’t seek an application ask for an invitation or wait for cooperation he took initiative.

(which is good considering the way he saved us on the cross)

When you pray forgive others, otherwise you won’t be forgiven. (Basic principle of how forgiveness works based on the merit of a 3rd party)

Mk 11:27-33 Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

He didn’t need specific authority. The question was better put who gave you authority to re-designate the temple courts for a racketeering market.

His ministry and direction were from his Father (john 12:49)
