          "AI can assist by summarizing scenes, tracing repeated terms, identifying narrative turning points, comparing parallel Gospel accounts, and helping readers follow Mark’s movement toward the cross. It can also help identify questions about secrecy, misunderstanding, authority, and suffering.",

          "Mark should deepen both confidence in Christ’s authority and seriousness about following Him."
