AnswerMark portrayed the disciples as foolish and lacking in understanding.A:Throughout Mark's Gospel, the disciples are portrayed as obtuse and lacking in understanding. This is nowhere more apparent than in the series of miracles and dialogues in Mark 6:33-8:21: Jesus and the disciples had no leisure so much as to eat, so they went into a desert placeFeeding the 5000When Jesus walked on water the disciples were amazed, for they considered not the miracle of the loavesPharisees complain about the disciples eating with unwashed handsDiscourse - what goes into a man goes into his belly and does not defileGreek woman metaphorically begs for crumbs from the tableFeeding the 4000Disciples are hungry and have only one loaf of breadJesus warns the disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees and they reason, "It is because we have no bread," showing they do not understandSummary by Jesus of the two feastsThroughout this series of passages, we find the disciples unable to understand about Jesus.

What does Mark chapter 8 mean biblically?

Chapter 8 covers Christ's miracles in the feeding of four thousand, refusing to give the Pharisees a sign from heaven, warning the disciples to beware of the Pharisees, giving sight to a blind man, Peter's confession of him, and warning the disciples of his approaching sufferings which would also extend to them. All of this points to Jesus as Messiah, with the power of God. It also makes clear the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of the day.

Pharisees ranged from high to low class. Some worked as laborers, some had high positions such as president of the Sanhedrin.

Who was the first person Jesus baptized?

I don't believe that this is recorded.In the King James versionJoh 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.This is a very broad statement, and the next mention isJoh 4:1 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,So it seems that no-one was keeping records.Another answer:According to John's gospel, Jesus baptized no one.John 4:1-3 - Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. [NKJV]
