Exegesis
- In much of Mark, Jesus' critics are fond of using scriptures to suggest that Jesus doesn't know what he's talking about. In verses 26-27, Jesus does the same for those who claimed that life ends at the grave.
- Verse 30 tells us that we should love God with the same type and extent of love that He has shown us.
