I know that if He wouldn't have died we would never go to Heaven, but why didn't He save Himself because the priests said that they would believe that He was he Messiah of He would save Himself?!

Mark 15:32 (NIV)
Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Was Pilate on Jesus's side, sort of?

Mark 15:5 (NIV)
But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

What uprising?!

Mark 15:7 (NIV)
A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.

I thought that it was Jesus's disciple who cut it off and then Jesus put it back on!

Mark 14:47 (NIV)
Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

Why is this told in the Bible?!

Mark 14:51-52 (NIV)
A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him,

He said to take it from Him! What in the world?!

Mark 14:36 (NIV)
"Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

Was that literal or not? I mean, his was about to DIE die, but is he talking about spiritual or real death here?

Mark 14:34 (NIV)
"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."

What fruit of the vine?

Mark 14:25 (NIV)
"Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

Why did Jesus say that because of Judas hasn't been born and betrayed Him, then he wouldn't have died on the cross!

Mark 14:21 (NIV)
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

What is the festival of Unleavened Bread?

Mark 14:12 (NIV)
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

Since Jesus I "part" of God, shouldn't HE know he day and the hour?

Mark 13:32 (NIV)
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Who are the elect?

Mark 13:27 (NIV)
And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

Wait a minute, God shorten the days?! So they used to be longer than 24 hours?!

Mark 13:20 (NIV)
"If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them.

That is so me!!!!

Philippians 1:21 (NIV)
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Philippians 1:23 (NIV)
I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

MOST AMAZING STORY EVER!!!

Mark 12:41-44 (NIV)
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.

Wait, WHAT?!!!?

Mark 12:35-36 (NIV)
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, "Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?

I thought that we were "married" to Jesus!!

Mark 12:25 (NIV)
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

So was His answer yes or no?!

Mark 12:17 (NIV)
Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him.

Why did He kill them and who does this represent? I just need an explanation of the parable.

Mark 12:9 (NIV)
"What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

Are the servants angels and the son The Son?

Mark 12:4 (NIV)
Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully.

But why? Don't the priests already know that God is helping Jesus or do they not know that?

Mark 11:33 (NIV)
So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

What does this really mean because I know that it is not literal.

Mark 11:23 (NIV)
"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

But He wasn't even teaching them!! He was just turning tables over!

Mark 11:18 (NIV)
The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

Why did He kill the tree? It wasn't even fig season!!

Mark 11:13-14 (NIV)
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

Why did Jesus even go into Jerusalem riding on a donkey? Couldn't He have walked? And was there a specific purpose to Him looking around?

Mark 11:11 (NIV)
Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
