Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion

  1. Read Mark 6:7-30. Why would Herod be so concerned about the fame of Jesus? What does Herod seek to protect through his actions?
  2. Consider how Mark arranges his retelling of the disciples going from and returning to Jesus with the account of John’s death. Why would Mark order the material in this way?
  3. What are some false ideas about success we could conclude from considering the ministry success of the disciples? How does John’s death help balance those ideas of success?
  4. How do we define ministry success biblically? How does this impact the choices we make from day to day?
