Although the Gospel of Luke is known to have been based substantially on Mark's Gospel, it does not incorporate any material from Mark 6:47-8:27a (except for one saying that may also have been in the 'Q' document), a total of 74.5 verses. It is called the Great Omission or the "Missing Block". This includes, in succession:

  • Jesus walking on water
  • Jesus in the region of Gennesaret
  • clean and unclean
  • the faith of the Syro-Phoenician woman
  • the trip through Sidon and the Decapolis
  • the healing of the deaf and mute man
  • Jesus feeds the four thousand
  • the yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
  • the healing of a blind man at Bethsaida
  • Jesus and the disciples around Caesarea Philippi.

The omission results in the curious statement at Luke 9:18 (NASB), 'And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, "Who do the people say that I am?" ' - corresponding to Mark 6:46,8:27b. Note that at Mark 6:45, Jesus ordered his disciples to get into the boat and go before him, meaning that they could not be with Jesus.

What book of the Bible does it talk about souls?

In the Bible, " soul" is translated from Hebrew ne'phesh and in Greek psy.khe'. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, " soul" means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings. To help us to understand what the Bible says about the "soul" . Read Genesis 2: 7 " Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul." ( Notice that this does not say that the man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person) 1 Corinthians 15: 45: "It is written: The first man Adam became a living soul.' 1 Peter 3: 20: " In Noah's days... a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water." Where does the Bible say that animals are souls? Genesis 1: 20,21, 24,25: God went on to say: "let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls...Ans God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind.... And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and domestic animals according to its kind. .. Can the human soul die? According to Ezekiel 18: 4: " Look ! All the souls-- to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son -- to me they belong. The soul that is sinning-- it itself will die." ( some translations say " the man" or the person".) Does conscious life continue for a person after spirit ( life force )leaves the body? Psalms 146: 4 reads. " His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts perish." Here render as "spirit" Some translations say " breath" Read also Psalm 104: 29 . These Scriptures will help you understand that a soul is a living person or a living animal. And the spirit is " the breath of life" that was blown into Adam's nostrils by God and the man became a living person or soul. which literally means " a breathing creature. Read Genesis 2:7
