Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament (EGGNT) closes the gap between the Greek text and the available lexical and grammatical tools, providing all the necessary information for greater understanding of the text. The series makes interpreting any given New Testament book easier, especially for those who are hard pressed for time but want to preach or teach with accuracy and authority.
Each volume begins with a brief introduction to the particular New Testament book, a basic outline, and a list of recommended commentaries. The body is devoted to paragraph-by-paragraph exegesis of the Greek text and includes homiletical helps and suggestions for further study. A comprehensive exegetical outline of the New Testament book completes each EGGNT volume.

“Careful attention to setting and plot divides the first half of Mark’s Gospel into three sections: in the wilderness (1:1–13); in Galilee (1:14–3:35); and on and around the Sea of Galilee (4:1–8:26). The second half of Mark’s Gospel also divides into three sections according to setting and plot: on the way (8:27–10:52); at the temple (11:1–13:37); and in and around Jerusalem (14:1–16:8).” (Page 8)
“Sometimes εὐθύς has a temp. function, indicating that one action took place shortly after another event. Most often, however, the function of εὐθύς in Mark is simply to draw attention to a particularly dramatic event (France 76; Guelich 30; cf. Porter, Idioms 305), conveying something similar to ‘look at this!’” (Page 25)
“If Mark was in Rome with Peter in the early 60s, as 1 Pet 5:13 seems to indicate, then a date for Mark’s Gospel sometime in the 60s serves as a reasonable conjecture, likely not long before or not long after Peter’s death, which took place in the midst of Nero’s persecution.” (Page 7)
“Each Gospel is concerned with telling us about who Jesus is and what he came to accomplish. The evangelists also want to impress upon us the need to respond appropriately to Jesus by following him no matter what the cost might be.” (Page 13)
“With regard to these three categories, Jesus’s kingly role stands out prominently in Mark’s Gospel (e.g., Mark 15:32). Jesus is God’s promised messianic King from the line of David (e.g., 10:47–48).” (Page 18)
