- Prophecy Regarding the Messiah
- The Suffering Servant of Isaiah
- Isaiah 53:4 "suffered in our place"
- Isaiah 53:4 : took up our pain and bore our suffering
- Matthew 8:14-17 'He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases'
- Isaiah 53:12 : numbered with the transgressors
- Luke 22:36-38 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'
- Is The Messianic Secret Theory Credible?
- William Wrede suggested that Mark joined the stories together to suggest a 'Messianic Secret'. Jesus kept his identity on purpose
- Jesus did this to show people's lack of faith in him
- Jesus did this to avoid people being distracted by his ability to make miracles. Those who have faith in him will see the miracles. Kind of like a test
- Jesus is humble and never desired attention
- Wrede concludes that the passages in Mark's gospel where Jesus admits to being a Messiah is fictions and that part was just added in later to prove to people that Jesus is Messiah
- This is based on Markan Priority (he would've been executed for his beliefs) however since Matthew and Luke was written later they wouldn't have to construct a secretive narrative
- Bultmann said Jesus didn't fit the Jewish version of a Messiah and therefore kept himself a secret knowing no one would understand
- Manson and Bruce said Jesus didn't want Roman interference in his life's work
- Mark 10:45 Jesus case to serve not be served
- William Wrede suggested that Mark joined the stories together to suggest a 'Messianic Secret'. Jesus kept his identity on purpose
- Did Jesus claim He was the Messiah?
- Mark 14:53-65 High Priest questions Jesus and asks whether Jesus is the Christ, the blessed one and Jesus says "I am"
- Mark 10:46-52 Jesus heals a blind man who calls him the Son of David. However Jesus didn't warn him because he was on his way to Jerusalem, his death
- Mark 1:40-45 Jesus heals a man with leprosy just by touching his hand and strongly commanded him not to tell anyone
- Mark 5:35-43 Jesus heals Jairus' daughter from the bed and gave strict orders not to let anyone know
- Criticising Wrede's Theory
- Morna ******: "If he believed himself to be in any sense the Messiah the last thing he would do is claim the title"
- Maybe Jesus didn't want to be a celebrity for his miracles
- Not everyone believes in Markan priority. If Matthew was first, we can see that the details about Jesus identifying himself as a Messiah was not added in later
- Authorities would try to silence him. People would misunderstand him so he uses 'Son of Man' to distance himself from the recognition
- Mark 11:1-11 Jesus' triumphant entry on a donkey to where he doesn't deny the name 'King'
- Morna ******: "If he believed himself to be in any sense the Messiah the last thing he would do is claim the title"
- The Suffering Servant of Isaiah
- Did Jesus claim He was the Messiah?
- Mark 14:53-65 High Priest questions Jesus and asks whether Jesus is the Christ, the blessed one and Jesus says "I am"
- Mark 10:46-52 Jesus heals a blind man who calls him the Son of David. However Jesus didn't warn him because he was on his way to Jerusalem, his death
