Even simple biblical narratives require careful explanation and application. For example, Alistair Begg demonstrates that in the passage describing Jesus’ capture in the garden of Gethsemane, Mark’s intent was to show Jesus as the one in complete control, accepting the events as those which would ultimately lead to salvation for sinners. There was no need to run or to fight, as the disciples tried to do. Even today, all we must do is avail ourselves of that which Jesus has provided.
