Document Summary

Rel 155: the new testament: 6 october 2016. Lecture 12: mark"s gospel ii: jesus and the disciples: review: secrecy in mark. Mark is full of commands to secrecy (cid:558) the demons, healings, parables, disciples. William wrede suggested that jesus himself was non-messianic, but his followers decided that he was the messiah after the resurrection. Mark (or his sources) used the messianic secret motif in order to blend the non-messianic traditions about jesus with the conviction that jesus was the messiah. In spite of difficulties, wrede"s view is pioneering because it recognizes the. Messianic secret as a key redactional motif in mark. But could we gain more insight from looking at mark"s depiction of the disciples and jesus: the disciples in mark. The fact is particularly striking given the early church"s insistence (cid:507)from papias in the early 2nd century onwards(cid:508) that mark"s gospel was based on peter"s preaching or reminiscences.
