=Seek ''Drash'' דרש=
Mark displays a knowledge of tool called 'Drash' דרש which means 'seek'. When seeking, you have a clue of what you are looking for. In practice one compares and contrasts something known, with various things found. Mark knows what John the baptist was doing, and as he Mark or Peter searched the scriptures, found a prophecy prophecies that looked like it they could be compared.
He Keying on the word 'wilderness' and the idea od someone preaching there, he found the passage in Isaiah and relates it this way:
:[[Mr 1:2]] As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
:[[Mr 1:3]] The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
And here is a related one that Mark probably didn't understand but Matthew did <ref>Mark was comparing John to the prophecies above interpreting the revelatory voice of the king. Matthew saw John and Jesus together fulfilling the prophecy concerning Elijah, reading in the revelatory voice of the prophet. [[Mt 11:14]] And if ye will receive [it], this (John and Jesus together) is Elias, which was for to come.</ref>:
:[[Isa 42:16]] And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Mark does not stop with the obvious comparisons, but uses those as the anchor to Old Testament scripture. From that anchor he will continue to interpret scripture.
=What else did Jesus do compared to the prophecy of Isaiah?=
