The second Mark volume runs from chapter 9 to the end: the transfiguration, the teaching on greatness and servanthood, the rich young ruler, the triumphal entry, the cleansing of the temple, the Olivet Discourse, the anointing at Bethany, the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the trials, the crucifixion and the resurrection, with attention to the ending of Mark and its textual questions.

Each volume in the MacArthur New Testament Commentary works verse by verse through the Greek text, explains the passage in its context, and presents its theology with precision, in the service of expository preaching rather than academic debate. The series is the fruit of more than five decades of pulpit ministry at Grace Community Church.
