Key quotation: Mark seems to be telling us, “If you want to know what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, well take a look at this. Not only does being a disciple mean speaking the truth to people who mostly don’t want to hear it. Not only does it mean leaving behind any kind of status, any kind of security, any claims to privilege or power. It also means marching right into the places of power and telling it like it is. It means risking everything—your place in society, your job, and if it comes to it even your life.”
