Illustration with Purpose Creativity with Power
These comics are a graphic adaptation of Scot 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.
Having watched Yesous still a storm, His apprentices voice an important question: “Who then is this, that even the wind and sea heeds him?” Now, three stories seek to answer this question. Yesous casts out a a legion of demons in one of his most public miracles yet. He heals a woman of twelve years of ceremonial uncleanliness. Finally, he brings a twelve year old girl back to life. The details of these stories paint Yesous as one with authority over Satan, over defilement, and over death. He is, as the legion puts it, “Highest God’s Royal Son.”
I do not have written permission to use this text but I highly encourage you to order a copy of The Second Testament for yourself from InterVarsity Press. It is a wonderful resource for engaging with the original authors of the whole New Testament (not just Mark).
