So, how did everyone find it? The first question was like, huh? I've got a feeling the grade boundaries will be quite low for this.

I hope so too- what did you write ?

I said that it would be easier for Mark to spread the good news to the people of Rome and that the Gospel was written in Greek. There was something else I put, but I can't remember, what about you?

you had to say : because christians were persecuted in rome so mark would have been thought to write it in rome for christians in rome. Teacher said this was correct... (develpe for second mark)

Ah! I think I know this one! The Messiah was to be predicted by the Jews to be from the line of David. It shows that blind Bartimaeus recognized Jesus as the true Messiah, even though he could not see him.

also, mark explains jewish traditions implying he was writing for a non jewish audience in rome not israel

Most likely, it seems like a good answer. That's the one I put, it seems most likely to be right, but I may have not included all that needed to be. How did you feel the exam was overall? Hard?

Hopefully I did ok, it was harder than I thought but not unbearable.

whoops, I wrote (for the first question) that it we know it was written in Rome because Mark was with Paul and Peter who would have been in Rome at the time. Is that somewhat close?? Everyone came out of that exam freaking over that question. Some of the 6 markers were a little weird, too.

Ethics is next Tuesday (20th May)

I think the boundaries will be pretty low, judging by the general reaction to the exam.
