Lev
Everything must be eaten by the third day, or it would have spoiled – ie, unclean. The planting/eating of the fruit tree in v23-25… wasn’t real sure of the significance. Do you think palm-reading is a sin,… and would that be a reference in v31/20:6?
Mark
Jesus tells the 12 about His coming death again – in v32, they didn’t understand what he was talking about… it said they were afraid to ask him what he meant (why would they be afraid - embarrassed, scared of rebuke,… ?). SMV v35; “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.”
V37 is rich as well; ‘… and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me’.
‘Causing of sin’ in vv42-50; be an example. If you cause you brothers/sisters to sin, there are penalties to pay. Penalties are thrown into hell, ‘where the worm does not die’. In the Valley of Hinnom, outside the South-gate of Jerusalem, was a place for dumping waste/trash, etc. Children were ‘sacrificed’ to Moloch. The mention here of worms associated with the fact this heap was filed with worms, feasting on the waste.
Isaiah 66:24
And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.
