In Mark there is a concrete code of conduct for those who want to follow Jesus. It is in the words of Jesus to many people. We call it a disciple. It shows well how to live as a disciple. But the 12 disciples, called by Jesus, can see disappointment in these expectations. Mark, however, introduces several people on behalf of the 12 disciples who failed as disciples of Jesus. We think of them as the community circle of Mark. The teaching of Jesus is toward the 12 disciples and the multitudes. The teachings of Jesus that are told to all, not the special teaching for anyone, show that anyone who hears and follows them can become disciples of Jesus.

This study first deals with the study of the discipleship in the Gospel of Mark in chapter 2. The scholars of the disciples analyze what they are making and study the teachings of Jesus in detail. Based on this, we analyze what kind of true disciples are and how to live. In chapter 3, we will study Mark's Jesus community. There are many classes of people who can be called the community circle of Mark, who study how they responded to Jesus' teachings. And analyze the characteristics of the community. Chapter 4 explores the crisis and problems of the modern church on the basis of the researches in Chapters 2 and 3 and aims to find alternatives. In conclusion, it is the ultimate goal of this study to study what kind of form the church of Jesus should be based on Jesus' teaching.
