Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion

  1. Read Mark 8:11-21. Do the Pharisees genuinely want to see a sign from Jesus? Why or why not?
  2. What is the significance of Jesus “leaving” the Pharisees and the land of Galilee? Does the grace of God come to an end for some? Explain.
  3. Compare the disciples with the Pharisees. Do the disciples understand Jesus more than the Pharisees? Why do the disciples misunderstand Jesus?
  4. What is the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod? What is the modern day comparison? How do we watch out for this poisonous leaven?
