Document Details : Title: Analyse narrative de Mc 7,24-30 Subtitle: Difficultés et propositions Author(s): ALETTI, Jean-Noël Journal: Biblica Volume: 93 Issue: 3 Date: 2012 Pages: 357-376 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.93.3.3188764 Abstract : The thesis developed in the article is that Mark 7,24-8,10 cannot be interpreted without the previous dispute about clean and unclean in 7,1-23 that gives meaning to it and prepares Jesus’ journey to the nearby pagan land. For the same reason, it seemed impossible to interpret Mark 7,24-30 as a radical change in Jesus’ missionary project. In this episode, the Syrophoenician does not extort a miracle from Jesus. It is rather he who puts her to the test, expecting from her a response that may give him the opportunity to manifest God’s power in favor of the Gentiles and be proclaimed as the one through whom God’s salvation comes. |
