This content is a part of the collection King Jesus.

Four writers tell the good news about Jesus. Mark, the shortest Gospel, reveals Jesus as the servant-king who came to suffer and die, but rise triumphantly over the grave. The Gospel of Mark is a call to action—for all people to understand Jesus’ identity and surrender to his royal authority over their lives.

This message from the "King Jesus" series focuses on Mark 14:27-31, March 14:66-72, and the Core Competency of Humility.

Scripture References

You can add references to biblical scripture in your notes and they will become clickable references. To add a reference following the American System of Biblical References using either the book's full title or an abbreviation.

Use colons between chapter and verse numbers (most Europeans use a different format, putting commas here).
Use commas between verse numbers of the same chapter (and between chapter numbers, but only if no verses are given).
Use semicolons between references that give chapter and verse numbers from different chapters.
Use a single dash between verses to indicate "from-to" within one chapter (or between chapter numbers without verses).
Do not use periods after abbreviated book names, but do put spaces between the abbreviations and chapter numbers.

Example References

My favorite Psalm is Psalm 91

In Philippians 4:6 we are called not to be anxious.

God's commandments serve as a template for godly living today. Exodus 20:3-17,22-25

Invalid References

The reference Gen. 1:1 accidentally included a period after the abbreviation.
