#55 - Crucifixion as a Coronation (Mark 15:16-32) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

n this week's lesson, we begin an exploration of the details and sequence of the crucifixion as presented in Mark - chapter 15.

Each of the Gospel writers presents the narrative with slight differences. Mark's description of the procession to the cross is tightly worded with specific details. The question we will be asking is, why? Why those details in that order?

As we will see, the details in Mark 15 are extraordinarily similar to the details of the Roman Triumph - the procession that declares the power and victory of Rome.Assuming Mark wrote in Rome - in the '60s - what would his first audience have thought?
