“Son of God” is a key term in the Gospel of Mark. It is used in the first verse and is dramatically pronounced by a centurion at the crucifixion. On two other occasions, a voice from heaven declares that Jesus is the beloved Son of God—at His baptism and the transfiguration (Mark 1:11, 9:7).
- Why do you think it’s significant that a voice from heaven makes the declaration of Jesus being God’s beloved Son at these two particular events (baptism and transfiguration)?
- Why do you think it’s significant that the third and final declaration of Jesus as God’s Son is pronounced by a Roman centurion?
- Two unclean spirits also refer to Jesus as Son of God (Mark 3:11, 5:7). Why do you think Mark would include these two spirits using this title for Jesus?
