Mark : Women (5)

  1. Jesus shows disrespect for his mother and family by asking, "Who is my mother, or my brethren?" when he is told that his family wants to speak with him. 3:31-34

  2. "And he said unto her, Daughter...." 5:34

    Jesus allows a woman who is considered unclean (Leviticus 15:19-33) to touch his clothes without complaint and then heals heals her. He even calls her "Daughter." She is, in fact, the only person in the gospels that he refers to in that way.

  3. "For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept." 10:5

    The Pharisees ask Jesus about divorce, pointing out that according to the law of Moses, a man can divorce his wife for any reason (Deuteromomy 24:1). Such a law caused enormous harm for women, since a divorced woman was completely abandoned by the society. So by ouitlawing divorce, he was protecting women from the cruel system of marriage that existed at the time.

  4. Jesus ... said ... There is no man that hath left ... wife, or children ... for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time ... and in the world to come eternal life. 10:29-30

    Jesus will reward men a hundredfold who abandon their wives and families in this life and the world to come.

  5. In the last days God will make things especially rough on pregnant women. 13:17
