Learning Jesus
A Faith That Begs
Mark 7:24-37

  • A Day Trip to Tyre: No Rest
  • A Faith That Begs: Rightless Assertion
  • Identifying with a Deaf Man

Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion

  1. Read Mark 7:24-37. In both of these stories we see people “begging” Jesus for healing. We normally think poorly of begging. Why does Jesus commend these beggers?
  2. What rights does this woman have to ask Jesus for a favor? Why is she so bold then? What gives her confidence before Jesus?
  3. Describe the components of the woman’s faith we see in this story. What does your faith look like? How can we imitate her faith?
  4. How does the healing of the deaf man reveal the compassion of Christ?
