| − | Notice that Mark interrupts his story of Jesus’ power and the illustrations of that power, his miracles, to tell of the call of the disciples (verses 16-20) and the teaching and ordination of the Twelve ([[Mark 3:13|3:13]]-19), and to tell us the parables of the kingdom of God ([[Mark 4:1|4:1]]-34). So, we could say that the primary theme of this section (indeed of Mark as a whole) is Jesus’ power, but the secondary theme is the church. Notice that these stories lead, eventually, to Jesus sending the Twelve out as missionaries ([[Mark 6:7]]-13.)
