The Gospel of Mark, Part IV: Jesus’ Ministry of Exorcism

In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus performs a ministry of exorcism that helps to reveal his identity as the Lord, as the Messiah. This is seen especially in the story of the Geresane Demoniac. Join Dr. Luke Arredondo as he explores Jesus’ exorcisms in Mark, and the way these stories help us to answer the key question of the Gospel: Who is Jesus?
