"Whoever causes one of the little ones in me to sin,it would be better fpr him if a great millstone was placed on his neck" This signifies that Jesus never had an appreciation for hypcrites.

This reaches me religiously in the sense that Jesus has always called us and always will whether we realize it or not he is our chosen Messiah

By the Parable of the tenents this describes how Jesus will treat is if we do not see what he meant by loving all your neighbors and enemies.

"Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see."Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way". This shows that this blind man was saved by Jesus because of his faith.

This tells us that Jesus makes people think and not just give them a straight answer.

The part in the chapter that says the poor woman put in the largest amount of money in the treasury.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
When Jesus talks about a man who is traveling abroad and leaves a gatekeeper to watch for his return. this is most interesting because it is an analogy of Jesus leaving and we must keep watch for him to return.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them what was going to happen to him. "Behold,we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise." This shows to me the love that Jesus has for us that even though he knows he will die he still gives his life for us, knowing the terror he will behold.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This tells me that Jesus in a way if we don't believe in him that he will still show and prove to us that he is the Messiah.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part that had the most meaning for me is the part were Jesus says 'love your neighbor and enemies as yourself' this really spoke to me because I do have times when I come in conflict with this one person and I find it extremely hard to love them when they are trying to keep me away from the one I love...
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The part i found most interesting is verses 9-10 this shows me that if people may try to have you change your beliefs you should always stay by them and preach them to others.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
- "Jesus looked at them and said," For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." It really stated what Jesus knew of God and God's abilities.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
- It means that any answer will come through prayer and self-discovery.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
- The Greatest Commandment had the most meaning because it has become the basis of Christian belief.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
- I found it interesting that Jesus states that even when wars start to break, it will still not be the end of the world.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
:Go, sell what you have, and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven." Giving all your possesions to the poor is a hard thing to do. Only a person who truly believes can give away everything he owns.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Mark 11:24-33 tells me that Jesus will not tell you whether he is God's Son, the messiah, or whatever. Jesus wants US to believe that he is really the things we expect him to be. If he just tells us these things, we will still have some doubt in our hearts, but if we believe and find out for ourselves Jesus will truly know that we believe he is the Son of Man.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part that had the most meaning to me was "The Greatest Commandment". I believe that the way you treat other people, the same people will treat you the sameway. If you do not respect people or their belongings then it is exactly the same thing you will do to yourself.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
What if found most intersting about the "end times" is that Jesus said that wars and fights are inevitable. That they are normal and that they must happen. Everybody says that they wish for world peace but then at the same time Jesus says that wars must happen.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
The words from Jesus in Chapter 10 that stood out to me are "The cup that I drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared." This passage comes from Mark 10:39-40 and is used to explain why James and John can't be at Jesus's right and left in heaven. Jesus is saying that in order to make it into heaven AND sit at his right or left you must earn that right to the seat. This passage gives me the confidence to do good and follow Jesus's teachings in order to be in heaven next to Jesus on his throne.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Mark 11:24-33 tells me that part of my faith in Jesus is to believe in something I don't know. Many people don't believe in something that they can't see or understand is as bad as the Pharisee's questioning. This passage tells me that in order to grow in my faith journey i must fully believe in something I won't fully understand until my death. Jesus can't tell us that he is really God because it would take away our free will, which we use to either belive or not.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part of Chapter 12 that had the most meaning to me was the Greatest Commandment part in in Mark 12:28-34. These verses give me the two main rules of my faith that I should always try to follow.
Loving God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength because that is my pathway to heaven and is what everyone should do. Loving my neighbors is something that I ahve trouble doing and loving them as i love myself is something that is important to me because it shows wht kind of person I am and sets an example for others to follow.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
Jesus' second coming is the lesson that I found more interesting because it is a prediction that will bring us to eternal peace. The passage shows God's power and glory above all. The setting will be one of darkness and like a superhero from a Marvel comic, the Son of Man will come and save the elect. The Secon Coming of the Son of Man gives ussomething to look forward to after the Great Tribulation.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her." This says that Jesus cares about everyone especially woman and tells me that men were horrible and wrong to woman treating them less and Jesus will establish a commandment protecting woman.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
What Mark 11:24-33 means to me is that we should never question Jesus and what he does for us and we should realize an recognize that Jesus is the chosen Messiah.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The Parable of the Tenants because it talks about how Jesus will treat us if we do not see what he meant by loving our neighbors with respect and also our enemies.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
Jesus' second coming was the most interesting because there are predictions that will bring us eternal peace and the second coming talks about how God is power and mighty against all things and last the second coming gives us (man) something to look forward to.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
When Jesus says, "Why do you call me good?" These stood out to me because it shows how even the people who seem the most perfect are not always as perfect they as seem. Even if someone sins does not mean they should be damned to hell, everyone deserves a chance to show they're good.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
To me it shows how Jesus really is a mystery and since he is a mystery so are his teachings. Jesus' connection with the Holy Spirit cannot be proven. You must have faith to know Jesus' authority to bless and teach the word of God.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
When Jesus tells the Pharisees to pay Caesar what belongs to him because i believe that if no one is good to anyone and is selfish, they should get all that they work for. If they do nothing they should expect to get very little.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
I found when Jesus said that war and earthquakes will not be the end and the end is not coming soon interesting. I found it interesting because people of that time were worried and waiting for the Messiah to come so the world could end even when Jesus told them that it will not end soon. It really shows how close minded people were and how we adapted into different beliefs over all of these years.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
The words that stood out to me in chapter 10 is about marriage. In Mark 10: 6-9, Jesus said, "But from the beginning of creation,'God made them male and female.For this reason, man shall leave his father and mother[and be joined with his wife], and the two shall become one flesh.'So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." This stood out to m because it talks about marriage and Jesus view on married couples having a divorce. He said that God made the two male and females to be one flesh. It also stood out because it is nice to think about when relatives of friends are getting married. The passage is the reason why marriage is a serious thing. One has to be committed and faithful to the other person.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Mark 11:24-33 contains a message about prayer and a story of the chief priest questioning Jesus authorities. From verses 24-26, Jesus talks about if you ask for things in prayer, and you believe that it will come true, then you shall receive it. You must also forgive the transgressions of your friends so that God will forgive your transgressions.This means that Jesus wants us to actually believe in what we are saying when we pray. In verses 27-33, Jesus returns to Jerusalem and walked to the temple area. The chief priest asked him about where he got his authority. Jesus in return gave back a question asking if John's baptisms were of heavenly origin or human origin. They said they did not know. Since they did not know, Jesus did not tell them who he got his authority. This means that Jesus is a mystery. No one knows that he is the messiah. They do not know that he was sent by God.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
Verse 25 stands out to me because it involves the relationships of people when they go to heaven. Jesus said in the verse, "when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven." This means that when we die, we will all become brothers and sisters. There will be no mothers, fathers, brothers, or sisters. It will be just one big family with God as our father.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The the thing i find most interesting about Jesus 2nd coming is how epoch it will be. Jesus will come out of the clouds. Angels will also come. I believe Jesus will come when the world is peaceful. When everyone agrees with each other.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Go, sell what you have, and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven." This stood out to me because it made me want to give to others. Giving to others can give you eternal happiness. Share with others means that you are doing what God has asked you to do and I think it shows what kind of loving person that you are.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This passage made me feel like God is the actual Son of God. It is our choice to believe in it. Jesus is not going to force us to believe in him because I believe it is a test of faith to see how much we do believe in God.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The most meaningful part in chapter 12 for me was when the elderly lady, who was poor, had some much love and generosity that she gave the most money for others. It meant a lot to me because it showed me who I am and how great others are. Now I respect others more.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
I found Jesus' second coming more intersting because it just amazed people and proved to all the non believers who God really is and what powers he possesses in his hands. He really can do anything. He is the true one and only God and the second coming just proved his power.
DAVID ESCOBEDO
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
Mark 10:17-19. "Why do you cal me good? No one is good but God alone." These words are important to me because this shows that even though Jesus was wise and important, He alwasys told people to honor their father (God).
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you? Mark 11:24-33 means that whatever you really truly believe in that is good will eventually come true to you if you have great faith and, for lack of a mbetter phrase, if you act "dumb" or unfaithful that is the kind of response you are going to get back from your friends. Jesus just wants us to believe that he is really the things we expect him to be, JUST BELIEVE.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part of chapter 12 that had the most meaning for me was "The Second Comandment". This is my favorite part because it really ignoladges the fact that you must respect others the way you would like to be respected, (the golden rule). Also because it shows that if you do not follloow this you might not get anywhere good in life.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
"The coming of the Son of Man" ios the most interesting to me because it shows how God is the most powerful being and sole in the world. Also that from these aspects of God, people will finally believe and interperet the power of the Lord.

1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
-The words that stood out to me were in Mark 10:15." Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it". This passage stood out to me because Jesus is telling us something important. I think he is telling us that a child is closer to God because they might be scared and be in need of him. He is also saying that a child is more faithful to God than a grown adult, therefore it is easier for a child to enter the kingdom of God.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
- Mark is trying to tell us that when we pray to God we shall be patient and never doubt him. Although sometimes it might seem like he is not responding to your prayers he will eventually if you are truly faithful. He is also telling us to never question his authority.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
- The part of chapter 12 that had the most meaning to me was in Mark 12:41-44. This had much meaning because it showed me what true discipleship for Jesus was. It had meaning to me because we have to be willing to give everything we poses, and not expect to receive nothing in return.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
- The lesson that i found most interesting about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming, was in Mark 13:24-27. Mark tells us how everything is basically going to stop working and the clouds will clear up and Jesus will come out. he will then send his angels and select those who deserve to enter the kingdom of God.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
Mark 10:13-16 "And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, 'Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.' "
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Mark 11:24-33 means to me that the power of prayer must come from the heart and it may be granted from heavenly authority. When Jesus was teaching the crowd, chief priests questioned his authority. Jesus replied to them saying that is his authority to teach from heaven or from earth. I believe those that are from heaven cannot be proved but can be demonstrated by showing acts of mercy or kindness from the heart
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
Mark 12:1-12 had the most meaning to me because it was the Parable of the Tenants. It was about a man who planted a vineyard and put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. The leased of the man went to tenant farmers. The man sent many servants they all got killed until he sent his son, which also have gotten killed by the tenants. This relates to how God sent so many prophets and Chosen People to proclaim about God's Kingdom. God had no choice now but to send his Son, Jesus, into earth so the people of earth may believe through him.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
In Mark 13:3-8 and 13-24-27, Jesus predicts about the "end of time" also meaning the end of the world and his Second Coming. This section of the chapter is very apocalyptic because he predicts things that may already be happening in our world today. We do not know when the world will end, neither does the Son of God or the Holy Spirit, but only God the Father does. This gives me a message that we must take caution of every action we commit because we don't know the end of our lives.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." These words meant the most to me becuase nobody should force you to follow God.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
To me it means that, when you pray you have to pray with a feeling that you are doing for good and for a reward. God tells us that when we pray our prayers will be answered, but at the same time you have to pray with a reason.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part that had the most meaning to me was when God starts to talk about the man who planted the vineyard. It meant the most to me becuase when the man did that he didn't just help himself, but he also helped all of the other farmers around him.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
When he tells the disciples that many people will come in his name and say that the world will come to an end and that they will decieve many, but do not belive because the world will rise again.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
Versus 33-34 stood out to me the most. This passage tells me that Jesus already knew his fate. But he did not question because he was sent from God. Its shows me that sometimes no matter what God tells you, you should obey it because God knows whats best for you. And in this case God knows Jesus will save us from sin.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Mark 11:24-33 means to me that sometimes in our faith, we must believe in something we can not see, understand, or just do not know. However, we can question our faith throughout our long journey. But when it all comes down to it, we must accept our faith if we want to be strong Catholics. This passage also states that Jesus is the Chosen Messiah.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why? Versus 41-44 meant a lot to me because it shows how strong peoples faith is. The widow gave all the money she had to the treasury. She showed how much faith she had in God and proved she will do anything for him.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The second coming interested me because it tells us that God will give us eternal peace. It also shows how important it is because it says the moon will not give its light, the sun will be darkened, the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, for "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God."". I think these words stood out to me because of their importance and what they mean. To me this passage means that we ourselves cannot be saved, God is the one who chooses whether to save us or not because, he is the only one that can
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
I feel that all of these passages are about doubts. 24-25 talks about how a person can do anything if they have true faith in God. On the other hand, 27-33 is sort of like a warning against trying to test God, if someone is going to question God then they cannot truly call themselves believers in their faith.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The Parable of the Tenants, I felt was very symbolic and meaningful. In this parable a man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenant farmers, when it was time the man sent a servant to collect produce from the tenants, but they beat him. This keeps happening until the man does not have any more servants left to serve so he sends his one and only son, the tenants kill the son. This story represents salvation history and the relationshp between God and his people, throughout time God has sent numbers of prophets to warn his people, and they have never listened sometimes even beating or killing them the sent prophets. Finally, God could only send his son, Jesus, who was mocked, betrayed, and crucified. He does all of this because he loves us but we don't do anything in return.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The Need for Watchfulness. I find this interesting because of the last word "Watch!". In this lesson Jesus is telling us to always be prepared to repent so that when the time comes we will be ready.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Rabonni, I want to regain my sight!" and Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately regained his sight and began following Him on the road." These words stood out to me because THIS IS PROOF that Jesus is truly divine while being human. This is one of the primary ways that Jesus calls people to follow him; not by force but by miracles and his kindness.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This passage is our key ticket into being in eternal happiness with God. This passage says, "Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions." You have to forgive, to be forgiven. Also, this passage tells us not to question Jesus. Jesus' actions are always right.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The first story of the men at the vineyard had the most meaning to me. This is because it shows us in the form of the vine-growers and Jesus as the last man. This is a representation of what we did to Jesus. The vine-growers were killing all the slaves who were sent. The last one, representing Jesus, was sent by someone to give him inheritance thinking they will respect him. Instead, they killed him, hoping for the inheritance. This is very similar to Jesus' death on the cross for us and how God sent us Jesus but we killed him.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming that I found most interesting is how we do not know for certain when the appointed time will come. This fact scares me. This could happen tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, we do not know. Also, the way the world will end or how heaven and earth collide will happen is also what I found interesting. We also do not know how it will happen. This is something to look forward to in the sense that we will be with God but also frightening getting there.
Read Mark 10-13
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. These verses stand out to me the most because it explains how much the people loved jesus.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
In these couple of passages jesus is described as a mystery. Since Jesus is a mystery, so are his teachings and holy presence. People who believe in the holy spirit are the ones who should go out and speak the word of God.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part that had the most meaning to me is when Jesus tells the Pharisees to pay Caesar what belongs to him because they were becoming selfish and that people who act sellfish should recieve less due to their lack of fellowship.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
I found that Jesus said "Neither war nor earthquakes will bring upon the end of time" the most interesting because i find that the end of time will come when the world finally has piece and everyone gets along with one another. War or earthquakes arent bringing anything except distruction to ourselves.
Each response should be 4 - 6 sentences in length.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why? Verses 33 and 34 I thought were fascinating how he knew what was going to happen in his future. He predicted it perfectly, but even then he did not try to change it. It stands out to me because it tells me Jesus had courage and he knew what was happening but still went along. I myself would have not let myself be sentenced to death. If i was aware of that i would be gone, but Jesus went along with it because he knew his mission.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you? It tells me that Jesus is not here to run around saying he's the messiah, but that we must understand what he truly is and that is the messiah. He will not tell us but we need to understand that he is here and that he is here for reason.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why? The parable had the most meaning for me because in emphasizes on loving your neighbor. To be honest I can tell sometimes I don't treat other people with respect and care, and I believe it something we can all work on including myself.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why? The end of times I find it interesting because I always seem to think to myself when will the world end and will I be prepared will I make it into heaven. It kinda scares in away that i want to be a better person.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Jesus looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to [the] poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." This stood out to me because in this time i feel as though we all need to improve our lives in a way to get into heaven, this being just one.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
They mean that God does hear our prayers, and that in order to be forgiven by God we must forgive.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part with the most meaning would be when he dicusses the greatest commandement. "The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord with all your mind, and with all your strength."
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The lesson about the "end times" that i found most interesting was where Jesus talks of what will come in the future. He foretells that "many will come in my name saying "I am he,' and they will decieve many". This struck me as interesting because it has happened. So many people have tried to foretell the end, and have gotten somewhat of a following, but they have all been false. It also tells of the earthquakes, famine, and wars that will break out which also stands out to me because some could say that that is now happening.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?

The lesson about the "end times" that i found most interesting was where Jesus talks of what will come in the future. He foretells that "many will come in my name saying "I am he,' and they will decieve many". This struck me as interesting because it has happened. So many people have tried to foretell the end, and have gotten somewhat of a following, but they have all been false. It also tells of the earthquakes, famine, and wars that will break out which also stands out to me because some could say that that is now happening.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why? Verses 33 and 34 I thought were fascinating how he knew what was going to happen in his future. He predicted it perfectly, but even then he did not try to change it. It stands out to me because it tells me Jesus had courage and he knew what was happening but still went along. I myself would have not let myself be sentenced to death. If i was aware of that i would be gone, but Jesus went along with it because he knew his mission.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you? It tells me that Jesus is not here to run around saying he's the messiah, but that we must understand what he truly is and that is the messiah. He will not tell us but we need to understand that he is here and that he is here for reason.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why? The parable had the most meaning for me because in emphasizes on loving your neighbor. To be honest I can tell sometimes I don't treat other people with respect and care, and I believe it something we can all work on including myself.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why? The end of times I find it interesting because I always seem to think to myself when will the world end and will I be prepared will I make it into heaven. It kinda scares in away that i want to be a better person.

1) WHAT WORDS FROM JESUS IN CHAPTER 10 STOOD OUT TO YOU AND WHY?
The story of when the Pharisees tested Jesus on the subject of divorce. Jesus replied that marriage is a sacred bond that should not be tainted with divorce as a son leaves his mom and dad to join with his wife as one. He is saying that if you marry you must stick with it through happy and sad times because you took a vow under God that you should not have taken if there was little love to begin with.
2)WHAT DOES MARK 11:24-33 MEAN TO YOU?
Jesus is challenging the Pharisees using smart psychological traps set in the words of his questions that would capture even the mose wise elder or scribe as they proclaimed themselves to be the closest to God himself.
3)WHICH PART OF CHAPTER 12 HAD THE MOST MEANING TO YOU AND WHY?
The poor widow's contribution was one of the most important topics mentioned in Chapter 12 as it reflects that no matter how rich or poor you are great or small, strong or weak it's your actions that count.
4) WHICH LESSON ABOUT "END TIMES" OR JESUS' SECOND COMING DID YOU FIND MOST INTERESTING IN CHAPTER 13 AND WHY?
Jesus' description is quite fascinating as he describes that the Earth and the Heaveans will be destroyed and the stars will fall down because We all take ti as a climatic end to our world which to Jesus probably was another message in disguise
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see." This stood out to me because this shows how much Jesus loves people enough to stop and ask someone what he or she needs starting from this blind man with out complaining simply helps the man to see
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This passage means to mean that Jesus must of been quesioned alot but didnt deny to give answers just gave them a qustion in reply, Jesus makes us think for an answere like a mystery!
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part where Jesus says lover your enimies as your self, People these days dont always well never do this. Even I dont, its hard to do such a thing thats why Jesus tells us to he knows it wont be easy but nither is faith, but he asks us to try to follow it anyway
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
When Jesus comes back will be the end of the world but God will send angles to come take the chosen people up to heaven. Well this is what or catholic faith is about believeing when Jesus comes back for us.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
The words from Jesus in Chapter 10 that stood out to me were "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." This stood out to me for a number of reasons. Children are the future. Jesus has mercy for all, black and white, old and young, good and bad, He will show merciful love for all. Jesus says that we shouldn’t rebuke the children who want to go to heaven. Jesus also says that if we do not accept heaven as children do, we will not enter it. I think that Jesus is saying that although we grow up and mature, we will always be young at heart.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Mark 11:24-33 to me says that we must have faith. Jesus says that whatever we ask for in prayer, we will receive if we believe and have faith. Religion requires faith, especially to believe in the Holy Trinity, which includes 3 persons in one that do not make sense to us. We must have faith that this is true although our logic tells us that it is false. When Jesus’ authority is questioned, Jesus ask a question in return which cannot be answered by the people. This is another sign of faith. Jesus has faith in His Father that he is doing the right thing.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part in Chapter 12 that had the most meaning for me was the part about The Greatest Commandment. God gave Moses 10 commandments to tell the people. A scribe came forward and asked Jesus the first commandment. Jesus answered him and told him that he was not far from the kingdom of God. Jesus saw that this man understood. We all must try to understand the commandments. We should use the commandments as a guide on how to live, but we should not use it as the official rules to live by.
4)Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The lesson about the “end times” or Jesus’ second coming that I found most interesting in Chapter 13 was “The Destruction of the Temple Foretold.” Jesus was making his way out of thee temple when one of his disciples told him “Look teacher, what stones and what buildings!” Jesus replied with “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be one stone left upon another that will not be thrown down.” I think that Jesus is trying to say that no matter how great someone or someone is, once they leave they are forgotten except for Jesus. A legacy will be left, yes, but everything else will be fragments of memory to people. Nothing lasts forever, no matter how great it is. There is always an end.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
Mark 10:9 "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must be separate." From this verse, we see how Jesus is talking to the Pharisees and explaining how important the sanctity of marriage is in God's eyes. Marriage is a declaration of love and commitment between a man and a woman, and should never be broken. Anyone who divorces his wife will be considered adulterous.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
To me, Jesus is encouraging all of us to have faith in God, so we may receive all of his graces and love. Also, we must forgive others who have done bad deeds against us in order to be forgiven by God. Also, Jesus wants us to believe in him and all that he does. He wants us to do this without questioning his authority or finding proof to all of his miracles.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
Mark 12:36b 'The Lord said to my lord,"Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet."' This passage refers to how Jesus is the true Messiah and that he is a descendant of David. We acknowledge him as the only Son of God and the Savior of the world. He himself fulfilled the prophecies and the promises of the coming Savior.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
Mark 13:37 "What I say to you, I say to all, 'Watch!'" We must be prepared for the way of the Lord, since we do not know when he will come. When he does come, we must be ready and leave everything we have behind and follow Jesus. We are ready for Jesus when we believe in him, repent our sins, and lead a holy life so we may live in eternal happiness with him in Heaven.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see."Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way". This passage stood out to me because the man wanted to see. He believed in Jesus and that's why his faith saved him. It tells me that if you believe in God good things will come your way.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
It means to me that in order to be a good christian I have to believe in what God/Jesus say, because if I don't believe I won't know what he is saying.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
Mark 12:1-12. This passage means to me that Jesus was like the son the father sent. HE sent servants but they all died, he sent his son and he died. God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins, and save us.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
What I found most interesting is that Jesus will only choose the people who believe. He will strip their clothes and take them up to heaven. The rest who didn't believe will suffer plagues.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
“Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Theses words stood out to me because Jesus is saying that the kids are the kingdom. I think this means that the future of Gods kingdom is up to the kids. Jesus is therefore setting an example of how you are to act so that way they may spread it throughout the kingdom. This is really important for me because I am a kid and it is my job to spread the word of God.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
Jesus plays a little bit of trickery on these chief of priest. When Jesus asked them to give a straight answer they do, but then he says why you didn’t believe John then, because they said that john was heavenly. Jesus is a person who makes people wonder and consider if the answer is right or wrong. He does not give you what you want to know he gives you what you think you should know.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The most meaning in the chapter for me was The Question of Resurrection. When Jesus was explaining about how if the wife dies and now they need to take care of the children. This was the most meaning to me because I think he is trying to discuss responsibility. He is trying to say how responsibility is very much needed in life.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The lesson about “end times” that I found most interesting the most of was the signs of the end. I found this most interesting because he is telling the Disciples that to let no one deceive you. He is also telling to stay strong to your faith and not to give up on Jesus because he will always be there. Jesus says that people will say things about him and he said to not believe them and to always trust in your faith.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
Jesus' words that stood out to me in ch 10 was when he said "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her."

Rene Gomez (9/29/11 Per:4 1. What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood to you? Why?
" Go your way; your faith has saved you." The reason it stood out to me was because it taught me to always have faith and full trust in God. To never be ashamed over the fact that you are different from others. Your uniqueness and talents will help bring peace all over the world. Never to question his works of mercy, for his love for us is unconditional.
2. What does Mk 11: 24-33 mean to you?
What Mark taught me in his verses were never to question the authority of God's work. To always be positive and never let the negative things get in the way from living the best life you could have today. To trust his work, for he will bless you each day you love him. To forgive those who have done you harm, so that the Lord will find a reason to forgive you for your faults in life.
3. Which part of Ch. 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part of Ch.12 that had the most meaning to me was the question of David's Son. Its based upon how the people question that he is the son of David. How David was inspired by the Holy Spirit believing that Jesus is his Lord for all humanity. For your love and faith will help you keep away from your worries or fears you may have. If you believe in God, believe that his words will be a blessing to those that are willing to follow him.
4.Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Ch.13? Why?
Lessons I found interesting came from Jesus' Second Coming. Its based upon that one day, the sun, moon, and stars will no longer give light. It is the Lord, Jesus who will be our true light to heaven. God will send forth his angels all around, for they will guide us and lead us closer to faith and closer to God. God will work in favor for all those who are willing to suffer and believe that his presence will lead us closer to salvation.

1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!It is easier for a camelto pass through [the] eye of [a] needle than for the one that is rich to enter the kingdom of God." I liked this because,Jesus is showing the people that you can be anybody and God will let you into his kingdom. God is the fergiving soul if u didnt become the strongest warrior or the richest man God doesnt care he loves and wants u in his kingdom.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This passage showed me that God will let u into his kigdom at all times.He just wants you to love eachother. Jesus then showed the priest and the elders that he was divine because not even they could answer his question with out starting comotion. Jesus wanted them to see that he was the true God and messiah that they have been waiting for.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The first parrable had more meaning to me than the others because it is something I can relate too. When have I done something out of the selfishness of my heart and not realized the damage that I have commited. All humans are subjected to temtation for greed, love, and acception. If we look at our lives now and think how we have contributed to these temtations we will learn they could have been prevented. This parable shows how humans do not control themselves when it comes to rewards, when the reward they should want is eternal life with God.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
I found the lesson about the signs of the end intresting beacuse, Jesus said that there will be earthquakes and fammens. These things have happened and he said that, that will just be the begining. It amazes me how accurate Jesus was because, he shows how he knows everything coming. But he shows not to live in fear of these days but to look foward to these days. That is a sign of true belief and faith. He wants to trust us not to live in fear.
Read Mark 10-13
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why? The words of Jesus that stood out for me in chapter 10 was verses,24-25. The reason these words stood out was because Jesus said that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, this really stood out because you can't buy your way into heaven. You have to earn your way in and the only way that I think a rich man maybe able to obtain that glorious gift is by giving his riches to the poor like Jesus emphasizes in in Mark 10:25.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you? Well Mark 11:24-33 means to me that we should forgive to all against you, just like God forgives us for our mistakes so should we for others, this also means to me the questioning of authority of Jesus that The Chief Priest had against Jesus.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part that was most meaningful to me was the verses 26-27 on chapter 12 when Jesus was talking to Caesar. This was meaningful to me because as Jesus said God is not a God of death He is a God of the living, this to me is important because before Jesus said this Caesar insisted that when your brother died you were able to take his wife.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
what i found interesting is that God left no clue to when and where will Jesus come back or How the end will come. I find the mystery suspenseful and amazing, but we still have to stay at the gate and wait for the coming of our lord once again.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
But Jesus said to them "For your hardness of hear he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of the creation'God made them male and female.This stood out to me because he is saying that God created man and woman and that is what starded evrything.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This part means to me is that if you dont ask for forgivness God will not forgive you.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part when Jesus tell what can happen when we dont listen to him and when we dont love or follow him as we should and are told to.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The part I found most intresting was the second coming of Jesus because he will come to save us again.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." This is stood out to me because it shows that Jesus is humble. He always puts everyone else before him . I t also show that he loves and respects is Father. You should always protect your mother and father.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
It tells me that you have to believe what you say during prayer instead of not paying attention to what you say.Always forgive a grudge you have on someone so that you can forgive yourself. Never question the authority of God. Jesus will not like it and will not tell you what authority he does work for.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part where Jesus is answering the question "which is the first of all commandments?". The first one is to love God with all your mind, heart, mind , soul and strength,. The 2nd one is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. The 1st means that you must keep your faith in God no matters what the world thinks of you and the second means that you shall respect everyone as you will to yourself.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The " end times " I found most interesting is the "need for watchfulness". I found interesting that Jesus will not tell us when the world will end. It can come today, tomorrow, or even within a matter of moments. It forces me to be better person at this moment.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
Mark 10:25 says:
"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
This verse from Mark 10 stood out to me because Jesus is saying that it is hard for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God. He says that it is easier for a camel to pass through a tight space than it would be for a rich man to enter heaven. The wealthy man who asked Jesus how he could inherit eternal life followed the ten commandments, but was disappointed when Jesus told him that he must give away all his possessions and follow him. In today's world, it is difficult for us to forget all the material things we posses and follow Jesus. Jesus is saying that we should not hang on to earthly things and instead accumulate our riches in heaven.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
In verses 24-26, Jesus tells us that if we request for something in our prayer, and believe that we will receive it, it shall be ours. We should also keep in mind to forgive those who have wronged us so that God can do the same. We should not hold grudges against others. This passage, to me, explains that if we believe in Jesus, the kingdom of God will be ours. Jesus reminds us to put our complete faith in God, and he will provide.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The Poor Widow's Contribution had the most meaning to me because although she lived in poverty, she gave up all the money in her possession just to donate it. Jesus tells his disciples that although the rich were able to contribute more, hers had the most meaning. She was able to do what the rich man with all the possessions couldn't. Not many, if any, of us could ever do what she did if we were in her position.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The thing I found most interesting in Mark 13 about Jesus' second coming is when Jesus says that all will persecute us Christians. He tells us that we should persevere no matter what happens. We Christians will be hated, there will be many deaths, but it is still our responsibility to stand up against the rest and be faithful.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
The words that stood out to me would have to be when Jesus tells he blind man who he cured to go out and to say that his faith cured him instead of saying Jesus cured him. That stood out to me the most because Jesus didnt take credit for it when he could have easily done so.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
What it means to me is that Jesus asks those jewish authoirties the same thing they asked him and since they couldnt give a good explanation about John being able to baptize that would make sence then jesus could not give one explantion to them that they wouldn't understand either.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The most meaninful part of chapter 12 was the part of the widow offering his only 2 coins because everyone else had alot of money then coulkd easily give out but the widow gave what she had while she could've done something else with it.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
The lesson would have to be the lesson of the fig tree because it talks abput the end of times and how everyone who lives will die and and rise just like when a fig grows out the leaves.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
And Jesus said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not except the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."
- These words from Jesus in chapter 10 stood out to me the most because although he is talking about children, he is really talking about everybody since everyone in the children of God. He wants everyone to be able to come and join the kingdom of God because everybody is the same as the person next them.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
- This passage means many things to me but the most is that know one shall ever question or doubt God or Jesus or any works and doings of them. We shall always have faith in them no matter how many questions there are left unanswered or how many people tell us different.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
- The part that reached out to me the most was Mark 12:13-17, Paying taxes to the emperor. This reached me the most because Jesus is not being selfish and wants everything for him. he tells the people to still pay the emperor but still believe and have faith in God. He does not want people to stop their entire lives just to focus on God, Jesus, and our Religion; he wants us to live our lives but live them faithfully and holy.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
- The lesson that was most interesting to me was when Jesus tells Peter, James, John, and Andrew that bad things will happen in the world. Natural disasters will happen but it does no mean that it is the end of the world. He is saying that bad things must happen so we learn and know what they are. He is also saying that everything must happen for a reason it just does not happen for fun.

1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
When Jesus said " Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the gentiles who will mock him, spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise." because he is foretelling his own death and ressurection which is not normal.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
These versus mean to me that Jesus is very wise. He knows exactly what he is talking about. He knows all of the commandments but, that also he is the teacher and judge.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The one that had the most meaning was when he said the first commandment because he said it with so much passion and confidence. You can just tell that he knew the first of all commandments.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
I thought that the signs of the end were very interesting because I always thought that Jesus never wanted war but, he says that there must be war and that there must be famines in order to have this " ending " which is the begginning of peace.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" This means that God's kingdom is for everybody, and that there God has room for everyone in his heaven. Another phrase that stood out to me was "...the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many." This says that Jesus was a humble man and sets an example for us to not want and to just give.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This passage tells us that we have to believe instead of doubt him. He said, "...believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours." The chief, priests, scribes, and elders in the temple questioned him with disbelief, and didn't receive the answer they wanted.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The part that had the most meaning to me was the part when the poor widow contributed to the treasury. She put in two cents, and Jesus was more appreciative of her contribution than the contribution of the rich people. The message in this short story is that it doesn't matter what or how much you contribute, it matters if that contribution really meant something.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
I found it interesting when Jesus said, "When you hear of wars and reports of wars do not be alarmed; such things must happen, but it will not yet be the end." Nowadays you hear about the end of the world, judgment day, 2012, but those are just some of the things Jesus was talking about. The lesson that he was trying to get through to his people is that these things are all part of life, and that life will move on.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"...God said this after he told this rich man to sell all his goods and give it to the poor but he left all sad. This really stood out to me because this one man wasnt willing to sacrifice a little of his wealth to help others but still wanted to enter the kingdom of God.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you? This explains that God is called to be our leader and lead us step by step into the kingdom of God . Jesus had the knowledge and the abilty to show us what God wanted us to be .
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
When Jesus is explaing all of the first commandments he is showing the people what God wants us to follow.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
the thing that I find most interesting is that he is saying that when the time has come people will turn against other people amd that people will be condemmed beacuse the know the name of Jesus .
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
The words from Jesus that stood out to me the most was when Jesus told the rich man to 'go and sell what you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven the and come and follow me'. this stood out to me because some of us have so much but give so little and if God asks us to give up everything we have some of us wouldn't be able to do so.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
the passage means to me is that if you pray to God and you truly believe you will recieve what you are praing for you shall get from god but if you dont believe then you shall not recieve but also forgive those that you have a grievence with so that God can forgive you for what you have done.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
the part that had the most meaning to me was the pariable the poor widows contribution it says that this poor widow has nothing and still puts in money into the treasury even though she has nothing we can learn from this woman because sometimes we may have nothing but a few coins would we put money in like she does or would we just keep it.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
i found the coming of the Son of man more interesting because it says that the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will be falling from the sky and the powers in the heavens will be shaken and then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
-"You are lacking in one thing. Go sell, what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven;then come and follow me."
This shows that Jesus was just putting the rich man through a test because he told him to go sell everything he had for he could give it to the poor. Jesus was just testing him by telling him that because if the guy actually does it then he has a lot of faith but if he doesn't do it he didn't have a lot of faith in Jesus.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
- This means to me that we shall never questioned Jesus. Because in this passage a chief priest asked him that who gave the authority to be preaching. And then Jesus asked him to answer the question that he was going to give them, so if they answered the answer right Jesus will answer there question. The guy answered the question by saying i don't know then Jesus replied to him then my answer is i don't know.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
- The part that had the most meaning to me was when they had to pay there taxes to the Emperor. This passage had the most meaning to me because people have to pay there taxes to Caesar. Then they ask Jesus if they really have to pay and he said to them bring me a denarius to look at and then he asked them whose image and inscription is this and they say Caesar. So then Jesus says to them you shall because they had to repay Caesar what they owe him.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
- The one i found more interesting was the second coming of Jesus. This is because we don't know when he is going to come, because he could come any day he wants to. I find this scary because i don't want to die by how he describes it like how the world would end. I don't want to die in a earthquake nor anything like that. But the only thing we could do is to prepare our selves for the coming of Jesus.
1) What words from Jesus in Chapter 10 stood out to you? Why?
"People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
that Jesus will no tell you that is is hold, divine, or in any way different. that in fact it is due to his enormous faith in God and in us that propels him to perform miraculous.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”----“Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”

mark 10 verse 9 "therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." This meaning that you should stay with your spouse through death. If your not sure that you want to be with that person until death then you should not marry him/her. Some people get married for the wrong things.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you? Mark 11 is saying that what you pray for you should believe that you will get it. When you pray forgive the people that has done wrong to you, the people that you hate. People are doubting what Jesus is there for.

"But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
This quote means to me that the people that are are humble will be chosen by God first. The people that rich, arrogant, and put themselves 1st in life will be humbled in the end. God doesn't look for wealth, he looks for heart.
2) What does Mark 11:24-33 mean to you?
This passage says to me that God will let you into his kingdom if you are loyal and faithful. If you forgive someone you will be forgiven. You have to be kind to others. hat Jesus is the chosen Messiah. We shall obey Jesus, whatever he tells us to do, we should do it without questioning him.
3) Which part of Chapter 12 had the most meaning for you? Why?
The Passage that stands out to me is "The Poor Widow's Contribution." God only noticed when the poor lady put in 2 cents. But when the rich people put money in, it didn't have as much meaning as the poor lady. I think that because the poor lady tried to give as much money as she can, so that is meaningful to God, but since the rich people have a lot of money, it didn't really have as much meaning because they could give money everyday and it don't really matter how much they give because they got a lot of money.
4) Which lesson about the "end times" or Jesus' second coming did you find most interesting in Chapter 13? Why?
"The coming of the Son of Man" is the most interesting to me because it shows how God is the most powerful being. Also that from these aspects of God, people will finally believe and interperet the power of the Lord. So therefore, God is the most powerful human being ever to walk the plant.
