Document Details : Title: What is Jesus Feeling in Mark 1,41? Subtitle: Reconsidering the Evidence Author(s): BRUEHLER, Bart B. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 100 Issue: 2 Date: 2024 Pages: 213-230 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.100.2.3293342 Abstract : Commentators and textual critics have long debated whether to prefer σπλαγχνισθείς or ὀργισθείς as the initial reading in Mark 1,41. A reconsideration of several manuscripts, various internal tendencies, the synoptic parallels, the interaction of Greek and Latin traditions, the challenges of Marcionism and Stoicism, and evidence from Ephrem the Syrian are examined to show two branches of textual genealogy that split very early, supporting ὀργισθείς as the initial reading. The investigation closes by demonstrating how this reading of Jesus 'being angry' makes good narrative sense as Jesus seeks to avoid the acclaim that his miracles garner at this early point in the Gospel, a dynamic that recurs several times prior to his entry into Jerusalem. |
