The Gospel of Mark

The sermon claims that help will come soon. Text: Marko 6: 45-52 Jesus immediately gave the disciples to board the ship, continued to go to Bethsaida, and let the crowd disband. After leaving, he climbed the mountain to pray. In the night, the ship was in the middle of the lake, he was on land by himself. As the wind was blowing, he saw the disciples suffering in the air. On the fourth watch of the night, he went outside and walked by the lake.

This year, we received a new book that generously reviewed Homer 's epic and Mark' s Gospel. (1) The author, Dennis McDonald, proposed the method of determining the origin of many stories in the Marco Gospel and presenting hypotheses about why these stories were formed in that way. His way involves the investigation of the Greek epic of the story of Mark and the literary origin of the letters. I am going to criticize the work he did in this paper, but when all things are over, comparing Mark's Gospel with Homer's epic material can certainly not produce good results McDonald's The kind I was looking for. Because it can provide good criticism and explanation. But I do not think that I can be satisfied by going through the McDonald's way, so we do not want to be bound by reason.

As I mentioned in the first sentence of Mark, Mark will write "the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God". The reason for writing the Gospels is speculative. Marco used Peter to write the Gospels. With that in mind, one of Marco's goals may actually be to use the description of Jesus' life and assertion of Peter as an educational tool for early church practice. Another reason Marco built the gospel may be to encourage Roman Christians to be persecuted by Caesar Nero.

The general date of the Mark Gospel can be raised with reference to external evidence. If the tradition of Markan 's author is accepted, Irenaeus suggests that Mark Gospel was traditionally written in Rome after the death of Peter. 65 CE. As mentioned in Nineham (ibid., P.41), if the tradition is not accepted, "If those who are cautious about accepting the Papias tradition do not keep time to express verbal tradition It is difficult to make the lower limit faster because it is not necessary to set up the management of the end point by putting a mark in the Gospel of Matthew and Luca.In the last 20 years of the first 20 years of the Gospel of Matthew If written, the most likely date of the Gospel by Marco is from 65 AD to 80 CE.
