Here you may read through Mark's Gospel over 52 sessions. The Bible passage is read and an explanation of that part of the Gospel of Mark follows. The readings are by Gerard and Phillippa Chrispin. This couple have spent years visiting the prisons and youth offenders institutes in our country. The website of the organisation they work through is here.

 Please note that Mark 1:1-13 means Mark chapter 1 verses 1-13.The Bible readings are either from the New International Version (NIV), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the English Standard Version (ESV) or the New King James Version (NKJV).

 A FINAL WORD for those visiting these pages and wishing to receive further help or advice:

 

We hope you have been blessed and helped through MARK TIME.

 

If before going though MARK TIME you did not have a regular daily time of quiet, alone with God, reading the Bible and praying to Him, we hope MARK TIME will help you to begin to have one now. Perhaps you can begin by recapping on Mark’s gospel? Later, why not go through the whole New Testament chapter by chapter from start to finish, and after that start on the Old Testament?

 

If MARK TIME has helped you to trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour, or in your Christian life, we are particularly happy! If that is the case seek out an established Christian friend, or a Bible-believing church or fellowship which can help and advise you. If you need further help please feel free to write to Gerard and Phillippa here

 

with warm Christian regards, 

 

Gerard and Phillippa Chrispin
