The Humanity of Jesus

Mark also recognized the humanity of Jesus. Mark has a great deal to say about the human emotions of Jesus -

  • He sighed deeply in his spirit (Mark 8:12)
  • He looked with anger on his merciless critics (Mark 3:5)
  • He was, at times, greatly distressed (Mark 14:33)
  • He was much displeased when the disciples sought to turn the little children away from him (Mark 10:14)
  • He took those same children up in his arms with all the tenderness of a parent (Mark 10:16)
  • He became weary and needed rest (Mark 6:31)

According to Mark, the incarnation was very real. Jesus was, of a truth, both God and man.
