Mark 2 | Faith That Raises the Roof | BibleBangers Podcast

Mark Chapter 2 | BibleBangers Podcast

In this episode of BibleBangers, we continue our verse-by-verse journey through the Gospel of Mark. Together we examine the powerful events of Mark chapter 2, where Jesus forgives and heals a paralyzed man, calls Levi to follow Him, answers questions about fasting, and declares Himself Lord of the Sabbath.

As the crowds grow, so does the opposition. The religious leaders begin questioning Christ's authority, but Jesus reveals that He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mark 2 gives us a deeper look at Christ's identity, His mission, and His authority to forgive sins.

Grab your Bible and let's get CRACKIN' as we dive deep into God's Word line by line and verse by verse.

Bible Bangers is a ministry of DeepEndable Ministries, dedicated to helping believers grow deeper in their understanding of Scripture and their relationship with The Word of God, Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 0:01

I wish you could actually understand God's word and enjoy the journey. You're not alone. Because the deepest truths aren't found in someone's opinion. They're found in scripture, interpret scripture. That's where the connections come along. Chapter by chapter, line by line, verse by verse, clear, reliable, engaging. Welcome to Bible Bangers Podcast, a Dependable Ministries studio production. Thank you for joining us today. Hope you prepared yourself for Mark Chapter 2 and that you enjoyed chapter 1. I'm Brent. This is my co-host Jason. Let's get right into Mark Chapter 2. And again he entered into Capernaum after some noise. After some days it was noise. After some noise, it was noise. I know. I know. But that's the whole point, is when we finished chapter one, is they blazed about the matter, right? Insomuch that Jesus could no more come openly into the city. So two kicks it off with, you know, he entered the Capernaum after some days, and that noise just went everywhere. And it was noise that he was in the house. Uh he's inside the house. There's the witness, right? Yes. You want a brief recap of where we ended up in one?

SPEAKER_01 1:38

I think at the end of uh chapter one, we we discussed how uh the irony almost of it was that Jesus' desire was to heal this leper, but he instructed him not to noise it abroad, not to, you know, you know, make this big show of it. And um that leper being not being allowed in the city, um basically Christ took his place, right? So now once he healed him and and the leper didn't follow the instructions, then now cr all of a sudden Christ and his disciples couldn't be in the city, there just wasn't enough room. So um that was kind of the the the recap of the end of chapter one.

SPEAKER_00 2:22

Yeah, so now he is still right there, and he's going inside of Capernaum.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

Yeah. So did uh did it end up was at the end of chapter one? Was he were they in Capernaum?

SPEAKER_00 2:39

And they came to him from every corner. Yeah. So yet they still came to him. And again he entered into Capernaum after some days it was noised that he was in the house, and immediately many were gathered together insomuch that there was no room to receive them. No, not so much as about the door, and he preached the word unto them. So we got that immediately again in there. That straightaway is immediately, right? Yeah. I love the progression from one where they're all without the door, you know, and then they come a little closer, and now they're coming from all around about, and they're coming right here, and they're right there, not so much as uh uh uh about the door, and he preached the word unto them, and they uh come unto him, bringing one of the sick of the palsy, which was born of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was, and when they had broken it up, they let him down uh on the bed wherein the sick of the palsy was laid. So they wouldn't even so much as come past the door before. Right. And now there are so many people there they can't get past the door, and then they go on the roof and they break it apart and drop it down. So the religious stranglehold that man had on them is gone away. Or is going away. It's less and less and less and less. The idol and the and the demons that they were dealing with is less and less and less.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

The witness of who Christ is from the very beginning, God witnessed this is the son of my son, right? Uh through John the Baptist, through all the rest of the occurrences, it it just um there's no more waiting, right? Like the people have heard who Christ is and they're coming. You know, except the ones that need healing and need the forgiveness and need those things, as well as the ones that should have been preaching this message all along.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

The picture of the Sabbath is gonna come up again here and the Son of Man, and it's all linked to who Christ is spiritually from the fall of Adam. And now they say, Who is this who speaks with authority? Well, he's gonna tell him who he is and why he has that authority. It's you know, he's taking it up.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

And when Jesus saw their faith, um that's verse five, right? Uh when Jesus saw their faith, their faith, not just the individual, but their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, son, thy son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

SPEAKER_00 5:26

Yeah. You could affect others' lives and be affected yourself. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

I like the throughout the all the gospels, really, but you see it here in Mark where you have the who's who's speaking, what's the what's being represented, who's the witness, what is the witness, right? Like who do men say that I am? And I think in the beginning of chapter two here, Christ is saying he is a forgiver of sins. Right? It's not only uh physical healing and and things like that, but um he truly is the forgiver of sins. Amen.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Six. Yeah. I want to point out the fact that uh the paralytic himself had faith and compelled his friends, no doubt, I believe. And because he had the word, somehow he had the word in him, and it bore to faith, and he can convinced he was convinced that Christ could heal him. So he convinced others to heal him, and they took drastic measures to make sure he got his healing, and they themselves were healed. So it's like complete healing there, you know. So we have just so much power when we receive faith to compel others to not, you know, to pursue the kingdom with us. It's not only for ourselves, right? Amen. But that's the power of the word, yeah. And that's the progression you're seeing in one and two of the word. It's going out, it's being heard, it's being believed, it's being thronged, it's being pursued, it's being and it's being affected everywhere. Yeah. Noise, reported. Noised, reported, the matter.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

But, verse six, big butt. There were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

Men will take faithless encounters, start with reasoning. Faithful encounters, believe. Right? And it's almost lawyer-like. That's why there's they know they call the scribes lawyers, right? That they they'll reason matters away. And so the the so there's noised about matter that gets heard and received, and then there's noised matter that gets reasoned away.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

So their um their their position is what? Like how do they see Christ at this point? Are they seeing him as somebody fake? They're seeing him as somebody obviously the the amount of crowds that are there are um, you know, they're probably not packing them into the highest.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

They see him as a threat.

SPEAKER_02 8:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

He's one he's a he's a threat to their religion, their livelihood, their tradition, their, you know, they're not seeing it faithfully for what it is. Yeah. And and, you know, it's the Pharaoh situation. They're kept without. You know, because their mission is to eventually crucify him.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Crucify him so we can bring about all of our all of our salvation. Praise the Lord. Uh seven, why doth uh why does this man speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only? I mean, that's a good question. If you're a religious authority, it's just like how how can he how can he do these things? How can he say these things? We're standing up for God. We're losing.

SPEAKER_00 8:59

Why why would they have that question? Because they don't have faith in Christ's authority. I bet you anything, they heard the testimony come from heaven, using my beloved son, and whom I'm well pleased at the baptism. They saw the dove a lit on him. They, you know, and they've they've seen him come back and call, and they've heard this being published, and they've ignored it all.

unknown 9:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Well, they knew it at a certain level.

SPEAKER_01 9:23

They never they're they're never able to.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Well, they reasoned it away. Yeah, they reasoned it away. Yeah, yeah. One of the reasons you're gonna get here in a minute is isn't this the son of the man who didn't come from don't we know, you know? Yeah, they all these reasons to you know have the the birds come in and pluck the seeds.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

They're just and they're there's this reasoning is in their hearts too. It's not like they're standing up saying, Oh, you're a blasphemer, right? This is what they're thinking, this is how they're reasoning, and uh just just knowing that Christ is a heart knower, he says, uh, and immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Question mark. Which is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, take up thy bed and walk. Okay, what's easier?

SPEAKER_00 10:22

What's easier for them to do?

SPEAKER_01 10:26

Persecute and say you're neither of those things.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

They can't they can't they can't say rise and take up your bed and walk. They can't forgive sins. Both of these things are impossible for someone to somebody that is not who he says he is in the next verse. And that's what Christ is saying is what is it easier to say? That is the sick of the pause, your sins be forgiven, or to say arise, take up your bed and walk. They're both impossible for you. Yeah, both both of them are nothing for me. Here's my witness.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

Your witness, your witness of me is I'm a blasphemer, right? Um, even though the works are showing something different. Uh 10. But that you may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he saith to the sick of the palsy, I say unto thee, arise and take up thy bed and go thy way into thine house.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

So he did them both.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

So they could do neither. He could do neither, and he's done both. He does them both. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all, insomuch that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw it this in this fashion. We've never seen this before. We might have read about it a little bit in the Old Testament with some of the prophets and whatnot, but we've never witnessed these things with their eyes. Yeah. So they were amazed, they glorified God through the Son, right? And I think that that's the mission. You know, that's all that always should be the mission. Amen.

SPEAKER_00 12:02

The Son of Man. What's w what do we know about that term that Christ is now addressing to himself? That's a great question, Brandon. It's a term of divinity, you know? He's but it's been handed, it's been it's been handed back to him what was lost from Adam.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

So it's the son of, instead of the saying the son of man, you could say the son of Adam. And the authority that God gave Adam all of the things in the garden, right?

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Well, the authority that Adam forfeited. What's very special about the book of Mark is it's used 14 times in the book of Mark to show his authority that was forfeited by Adam and these things. So you know, we know that 14 is seven times two, and there's spiritual perfection, and it's who this servant is, and what he's you know, what what his mission is. And uh that's why it's it's so uh important that he's overcoming these other trees, so to speak, that are coming at him, and he's sowing and he's doing these things.

SPEAKER_01 13:07

Like Romans chapter 5, uh Paul describes uh death reigning from Adam to Moses, right? Christ obviously overcoming that, and then in uh 1 Corinthians 15, uh the first man Adam became a living being, and the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. So we're starting to kind of see some of those things.

SPEAKER_00 13:28

It's a witness to the servant's spiritual perfection, and he has all power on earth, and he and he and he testifies that it's been given to me.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

So now we got uh another calling, uh 13, and he went forth again by the sea, uh seaside, and all the multitude resorted unto him and taught, and he taught them. And as he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphea, sitting at the receipt of custom, and he said unto him, Follow me, and he arose and followed him. Now, in the early earlier verses and chapters of John, you kind of see this pre-calling, if you will. You you see that Peter and Andrew and James and John, they were all disciples of John the Baptist, and then uh John the Baptist gave the witness to who Christ was, and they started to follow him, right? And uh seeing where he laid his head basically. You don't you this is the first mention of Levi, who who we I think is Matthew, the gospel according to Matthew, correct? Having this specific uh calling versus all kind of the rest of them, and maybe he was there too, maybe he was there uh with John the Baptist and you know had some you know familiarity with it. But I it I I've often wondered, um, you know, as I studied and thought, I'm like, really, what's the appeal? If you don't, if you're not seeing the miracles and you're just you're kind of you're a commercial fisherman, and then all of a sudden somebody just comes walking along the seashore going, you know, hey, come follow me, I'll make you fishers of men, you'd be like, most of the time it's like, what are you, nuts? You know, kick rocks. So being 13 is you know, the resorted.

SPEAKER_00 15:17

Uh and he went forth by the sea and all uh seaside and all the multitudes resorted unto him and he taught them. And it's it's literally kept coming, and he kept teaching. They kept coming and he kept teaching, they kept counting. You're right. It's like, you know, it's uh we kind of lose what you know the power of what's going on here. So uh who's sitting right there the whole time? Somebody that was probably counting, counting all those people coming and going. Yeah, and and watching them come one way and watching them leave another way. I was wondering how you were gonna tie that together, Brad Matthew.

SPEAKER_01 15:55

He sat there at the receipt of custom, just kept watching them come. You know, it's like if he's looking at it from the business point of view, I mean that that's basically Christ's calling right there. It's like I'm not I'm gonna make you a counter of men, right? He's not saying that, but he got that witness, right? He did. That's pretty cool. Uh let's see. 15. And it came to pass that as Jesus sat at meet in his house, in Levi's house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, the self-righteous, actually did, right?

SPEAKER_00 17:01

But sinners to repentance. What he's there for right now.

SPEAKER_01 17:08

Yeah, so I go back to the you know, kind of what's the witness? Christ called Levi to be one of the disciples again, and then he's resorting with him, he's hanging out with them, he's uh, you know, eating and drinking with him. Um the witnesses from the public from the tax gatherers and the sinners, quote unquote, um you know, Christ is accepting of them, right? They've never been invited to sit at a Pharisee's house or scribes' house or any of the real religious authority, right? And all of a sudden, Christ, who's actually has the authority to forgive sins and to heal people, is they're they're able to spend time with them and to get to know him, right?

SPEAKER_00 17:56

You're gonna it's about time frame and people and teaching here, and that's what it's gonna lead up to. So you've got tax collectors and sinners and right the the basically the non-religious uh religious authority who have been branded by the religious authority as these things. And they're gonna come to him and they're gonna start to question it. And he's as Christ is lent to do all the time, he's gonna teach them something, and they're gonna receive it fleshly, and it's a spiritual teaching. It's not about somebody's britches, it's not about wineskins, it's not about you're right, it's not about those things, it's about teaching, it's about who Christ is, it's about timeline, it's about time frame, it's about destruction, it's about your ears, and it's about the crucifixion of Christ that's coming. Yeah, and uh so when you go when you go through this, he's gonna teach and they're not gonna receive. It's a common theme with Christ and his teachings. They're gonna hear it with physical ears, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:58

And his disciples too, but isn't isn't he teaching his disciples how he wants them to enter into the world uh once he's resurrected? Isn't he kind of laying that groundwork for them?

SPEAKER_00 19:13

That's why I say it's about time frame, right? Yeah, it's go it at that point when it gets when it gets transferred and the ears get opened, and you know, the people that are without start to hear these things, there's your application. Yeah, it's it's application right now is wineskins, you know, rending. He's popping them. Yeah. Knowing, knowing he can put them back together.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

But it's necessary that that happens. Yeah, yeah. Uh 18. And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast, and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? It's common, common uh teaching nowadays about fasting and these things. Um in in the reality of kind of how Christ ends up putting this, is when you fast, you're you're removing yourself from Christ, right? That those are the words you're eating his words. You you're drinking the the book when you eat his flesh and drink his blood, these are symbols of partaking of that one loaf and that the the blood that he spilled on the clock.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

Let's let's read through these next two and let's come back up and let's look at the three of them and and and and we'll see that they're all saying the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

All right, sounds good. 19. And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days. No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment, or else the new piece that filled it up takes away or shrinks from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man puts new wine into old bottles or wineskins, else the new wine uh does burst the bottles and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred, but new wine must be put into new wineskins.

SPEAKER_00 21:28

The bridegroom has his bride, his ears, right there, teaching him. It's impossible for them to fast. It's impossible. And uh and he's given them a spiritual principle. They're speaking in the fleshly fasting, but he's giving them a spiritual principle.

SPEAKER_02 21:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

And they you know so the the the fleshly fasting was always a spiritual principle. Always. And they just take it to this to this fleshly level.

SPEAKER_00 22:04

Right. And and because they are pre-shrunk and they are pre-filled. Right? That's what these next two verse, you know. This is uh and Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridegroom fast? The days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they sh then they shall fast in those days. And no man can sew a piece of uh a new cloth onto an old garment, else the new piece uh that filled it up takes away from the old and the rent is made worse. So you don't take you don't take Christ's teachings and put it on fleshly fasting. You don't take these new this new wine and put it in already pre-stretched wine bottles.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

And the reason is, he gives them, is they're both gonna be damaged to the ones that are hearing this this teaching, basically, right? It's it's for the the doctor is is going there to heal, not to destroy those things.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

They're already filled.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:13

They're already there are the those britches are already filled, and those wineskins are already filled. They've already been stretched out, both of them. Or pulled in.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:24

Right? One's the the one with the cloth is already pulled in. If you put a new one that ain't pulled in, it's then it's gonna pull it in even more. The one in the there's two opposite principles going on here. One's pulling, one's pushing. And he's saying you can't take that and you can't do that because uh the time is not yet fulfilled. They'll get it. Well, so what makes that a fresh piece of cloth? What makes that a fresh wineskin? They certainly have the opportunity to be that because these men did. Right. Repentance. Yeah. Believing, hearing and believing, not reasoning in yourselves, not taking the law that you understand and all these uh theologies and teachings of man and all this, you know. That's what it does. And they're not there yet because they're being held without.

unknown 24:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

Well, so is he he's speaking these things to the Pharisees or is he speaking them to the average the multitude?

SPEAKER_00 24:20

No, he's speaking them to the Pharisees, but the multitude is there to hear it, but he's speaking them to the Pharisees because they questioned him.

unknown 24:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:27

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

And it came to pass that uh he went through the grain fields on the Sabbath day, and his disciples began as they went to pluck the ears of grain. Big no-no, right?

SPEAKER_00 24:41

Unless here's another one. The the uh this is the son of man. Yeah, this is the essential son of man teaching. This is his authority.

unknown 24:51

There you go.

SPEAKER_01 24:53

Again, I you know, I mean, when we said it, when we talked about it, it's like these things were all spiritual principles to begin with, and they get twisted and contorted into a tradition that then is backed up by the law and judgment and things like that. And Christ comes in and he basically rips that whole thing apart back to the way it should have should have been from the beginning, even all the way to the Son of Man.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

They address it and they say that it's not lawful.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

Well, go ahead and read it. I didn't mean to get ahead. And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful? So they say it's not lawful. Yeah. What law are they talking about?

SPEAKER_00 25:40

I would imagine something in Leviticus or something in Deuteronomy. Something they made up from Leviticus or something they made up from Deuteronomy. And that's, you know, Christ is gonna say, Well, hold on. You say, but haven't you read? Yeah, don't you understand? You have ears that you can't hear? Yeah, you can't identify me, and the very word is in front of them, teaching them. And they're not able to see it.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

They're not able to see it. And he said unto them, Jesus said unto them, Have you never read what David did? When he uh had need and was hungry, he and they that were with him, being uh, I believe they they're being chased by Saul, right? They were uh And he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the showbread which was not lawful to eat, but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him. And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath. So that uh that teaching is from 1 Samuel 21, right? And like I'd mentioned, David, David was being chased by Saul, um Saul being the anointed king, but had fallen out because of disobedience, basically, right? I mean, there's many many things that you can say about King Saul, but David, who the Pharisees seem to you know adhere to all of his life, his life teachings, if you will, right? So I think that this really shows an example of them not really them using the word of God when it benefits them and not when it benefits, especially somebody that's poor. I think the when I read the law, a lot of the times it's it's based on I mean the priestly duties um aside, but I think a lot of it's about taking care of those that you know uh that God deems to be poor or lowly or having humbleness of mind. Like um, I think really this law is you're supposed to not glean the you know, completely glean the the fields of all fruit so that the poor and the travelers and the strangers can have something to eat along the way, right? So they're trying to combine those two things with the Sabbath. Like you can do it on Friday, you just can't do it on Sunday, right?

SPEAKER_00 28:26

This may be why he uses the term son of man in 28 as well. Um you know the Sabbath was was part of the law which was given after the fall, right? And the dominion is given back to him, so he's literally now before that transgression, so we're that what the Sabbath was originally created for. So the this the it basically during the time of David, and during that time the Sabbath was you know had governing things, but Christ is the Son of Man, and He has authority over it because He predates the law and He didn't fall, He did right so you say you need to understand what was created and when and how and who I am, and then you'll understand why David did these things and it was permissible to him because it was a pitcher.

SPEAKER_02 29:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:21

We're stepping back into the garden with Christ being the second Adam, the life-giving Adam, right? We're stepping back into the garden and the times of the garden, where that authority and those teachings and that obedience that's direct should be directed towards God is being I got a pretty cool, pretty cool squirrel out that I ran into this week.

SPEAKER_00 29:43

The cherub and the garden. It's where it started in my study. Okay, and it brought me to the Son of Man, right? So the cherub is listed in three spots in the Bible. The cherubim, right? You know, plural, and they're always positioned guarding the mercy seat, right? Well, let's let's think they're in the Garden of Eden, guarding the tree of life, one facing this way, one facing that way, it says it guards the tree of life.

unknown 30:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:18

Right? The word with the right, well, so then you you create the the ark, you get the cherubim on either side, guarding this and that. Yeah, what happens when that young lady chucks to the to the grave of Christ, looks in and sees two cherub beam sitting there, one facing this way, one facing that way, where Christ was. Right? And and here's a voice. What are you looking for? He's behind him, right? Because he's been free to that. Yeah, he gave it up. And he rose from the dead. You know, and that's showing you what the son of man has authority for. Death had no dominion whatsoever over the son of man.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

Because he over he gave victory where Adam could tons and tons of uh symbology pointing you back to to the original, right? Like with it, you gotta kind of get all that other stuff out of the way. Yeah, it's all distraction.

SPEAKER_00 31:21

One of the funnest studies you can do in the book of Mark is follow where they're at time-wise and the Sabbath. Try to figure out, oh, what day is he walking here? Oh, here's the Sabbath. What days he walking here? Oh, here's the Sabbath because the Son of Man, who is the ideal servant, is teaching on the Sabbath, teaching this and that, doing this and that, right? All these teachings because of his authority.

SPEAKER_02 31:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:40

And the time frame that happens with it.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

You could probably figure out, like on the um, you know, discussing animals, discussing the different things in coordination with the days, right?

SPEAKER_00 31:54

You know, so and and you know saying that, we're gonna have we're gonna handle three next week. Prepare yourself. It uh it goes right into that. It goes into the Sabbath, it goes into the depth of those teachings, it goes into the timeline, it goes into those names. You know, it's so deep, it is so incredibly uh powerful to learn those things, to have a depth of it to just keep going and going and going. Very fulfilling.

You have a greater understanding of these little pieces, oh, you got a greater understanding, it just keeps going and going and going and going, and then you and what you're originally learning ain't wrong. Yeah, it's it's just you've got a depth to it now, and that's our father is so huge that he, you know, he can't, he's got to show us his backside.
