Mark 1

These comics are a graphic adaptation of Scott McKnight’s translation of The Gospel of Mark from his book The Second Testament. I will be posting daily through 2025 as part of my own devotional meditation on the Gospels.

Mark chapter 1 introduces us to Yesous when he comes do be dipped in the Jordan River. The action slowly builds as he starts teaching in the local Assembly Halls and to everyone’s shock exercises a demon. It soon becomes clear that this unusual teacher can do much more as he heals a sick woman and a man with a skin disease. Soon everyone knows about this sensational new prophet and crowds begin following him.

I do not yet have permission to use this text but I highly encourage you to order a copy of The Second Testament for yourself. Both this project and his work exist to help the modern reader experience the New Testament with fresh eyes.
