It’s Thursday, so don’t forget to pray for Jo, her students, and the people of PNG.
Anyone else?
Psalm 119:113-128
ס Samekh
113 I hate double-minded people,
but I love your law.
114 You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.
115 Away from me, you evildoers,
that I may keep the commands of my God!
116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.
117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
I will always have regard for your decrees.
118 You reject all who stray from your decrees,
for their delusions come to nothing.
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
therefore I love your statutes.
120 My flesh trembles in fear of you;
I stand in awe of your laws.
ע Ayin
121 I have done what is righteous and just;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;
do not let the arrogant oppress me.
123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
looking for your righteous promise.
124 Deal with your servant according to your love
and teach me your decrees.
125 I am your servant; give me discernment
that I may understand your statutes.
126 It is time for you to act, Lord;
your law is being broken.
127 Because I love your commands
more than gold, more than pure gold,
128 and because I consider all your precepts right,
I hate every wrong path.
Does anyone know?
I have the understanding that the “upper room” mentioned in the gospels and Acts belonged to Mark’s mother. But I can’t find it. I’ve searched and can’t find a verification of that assumption.
we presume that Mark was at the last supper because of the event recorded in Mark 14:51-52. Nobody else would have told that.

Chas, I had never heard that before, but I found an article describing why people believe it.

I disagree with the article’s characterization of its argument as “almost conclusive proof”, but it is a reasonable-sounding scenario. I knew that the young man who fled naked in the garden is widely believed to have been Mark.

Thanx for the link, Kevin. I think, and seems to be what you’re saying. The idea that the “Upper room” belonged to Mark’s mother is speculation. Even though logical.
But the idea that it was Mark who was the young man is very logical.
No one else would mention it, even had they known.
