Historical Background
The Gospel of Mark was written by John Mark, an associate of Peter, around AD 65-70 for Roman Christians. This scene takes place after Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and before His crucifixion.
Living It Out Today
Just as the disciples sought guidance from Jesus in a quiet moment, we can also seek God’s wisdom in our daily lives by spending time in prayer or reading the Bible when we face uncertainties about the future.
