The Gospel of Mark in Greek - Starts Ash Wednesday - Continues in MidWeek Lenten Services. Aimed at Beginners

Following the midweek services, which are recorded, we will study St. Mark's Gospel in Greek. I will simply move from the final hymn to the lesson.

I will save each video link in the Facebook page for Greek, but people can also look them up by date. We will continue when midweek services are over.

This set is aimed at beginners, so we will start slowly.

1. NT Greek is easy! It only needs time for the brain switch-over.
2. Start with the alphabet, then reading out loud.
3. Grammar is simple. I downplay grammar, emphasize time on the Greek text alone.
4. Do not write in the English words above or in the text.
5. Do not use an interlinear text (Greek-English).
6. Do not leave your KJV Bible open, but you may use it rarely for emergencies.
7. Paine covers the basic grammar issues, using John's Gospel. Get a used copy here - about $15 - 25. Or from Alibris - as little as $7 plus shipping. (Use the low to high price filter.)

New Testament Greek is fun, easy, and gives us an enormous vocabulary in medicine and science. Our entire Western civilization is based upon the Golden Age in Greece (especially Athens) - and Alexander the Great spread this through conquest.

Greek was the universal language of commerce and culture at the time of Christ. Any decent Roman citizen knew Greek. Later, St. Augustine wrote in Latin but often quoted in Greek.

The Founders of America knew Latin and Greek.

"Rome had the drains, but the Greeks had the brains."
