Document Details : Title: 'To One Who Has...': Mk 4,25 (Mt 25,29; Lk 19,26) Subtitle: A Note on the Independence of Mk 4,25 from Q 19,26 and o, the Sayings Cluster of Mk 4,21-25 Author(s): FRIEDRICHSEN, Timothy A. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 82 Issue: 1 Date: April 2006 Pages: 163-171 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.82.1.2014924 Abstract : This note first provides an overview of the presentation of H.T. Fleddermann’s proposal (Mark and Q [BETL, 122], Leuven, 1995, esp. pp. 87-90) that the saying in Mk 4,25, “One who has...”, is Mark’s redaction of Q 19,26. After that, the note critiques his presentation, indicating that it seems more likely that Mark has employed an independent saying, which Mark uses in his own significantly different context from the context of final Q. This note follows the author’s similar treatment of three other sayings: Mk 4,21 and Q 11,33, in ETL 79 (2003) 423-430; Mk 4,22 and Q 12,2, in ETL 80 (2004) 439-444; Mk 4,24cd and Q 6,38c; 12,31b, in ETL81 (2005) 186-196. Therefore, in the second part of this note, the author turns his attention to the “cluster of sayings” in Mk 4,21-25, arguing that both the formal structure of these verses, as well as the joining of sayings in vv. 21-22, on the one hand, and vv. 24b-25, on the other, around the Marcan vv. 23-24a, are due to Mark’s employment of independent sayings, not to Mark picking these sayings from their final Q-contexts. |
