As we now move further into Mark's Gospel, Jesus begins to form the household of his disciples. This household is a mirror and window into Mark's Roman 70s CE Gospel household. It is a gathering of inclusivity and healing. Unfortunately within this household are Jesus' detractors. He heals, welcomes outcasts and social pariahs who, according to Jesus' antagonists, should not belong.
