I am interested in studying Mark 1:10. Since the Bible was originally written in Greek, and a committee of Greek scholars play a huge role in interpreting and translating the Bible into English, I think it would be interesting to see how exactly this particular verse was translated. For example, it is said that the Greeks usually associated birds with the gods, so I think it would be interesting to further investigate the use of the dove in Mark 1:10.
