Wow. Fantastic progress. Well done 👍

Congratulations! You’re almost at the halfway mark in Mark :-)

Thanks, JDJDJD and PeterP!
And PeterP, it is kind of daunting to think that in terms of completion percentage, I am still not quite at the "halfway mark in Mark!" But I love the little moments along the way when you suddenly realize that you have put in a ton of work and that there are people out that who know what you're going through. Again, thanks for the encouraging words! You both have certainly inspired me to persevere.

I’m working my way through Mark too. I’m almost finished chapter 6. Good to have you for company 👍

JDJDJD, that is awesome! Chapter 6 is quite a handful. When you finish, you have really accomplished something. What translation are you using? I am using the ESV.

Three hundred! Very nice!

I’musing KJV. I tried ESV but since I already was so familiar with KJV it kept tripping me up so I’ve decided to stick with KJV for Mark. Chapter 6 is great 👍 Loved ch 5 too. 💕

My dad loved the New American Standard, but he always said the best translation is the one you use. I always thought there was wisdom in that. Chapter 5 is just so crazy with the horrific man possessed by Legion and the resurrection of Jairus's daughter... and yet Mark is so strategic in his ordering and choices. Just amazing.
