Summary/Abstract: The most recent document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, entitledThe Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture, cautions against an oversimplified equivalencebetween every single narrative element of the Gospel text and the details of theevents in the life and the ministry of Jesus. The present study examines some of theseelements in the framework of the Markan passages, arguing that they should be takeninto consideration not only in literary approaches to the Gospels, but in historical onesas well. Otherwise, the historically reconstructed picture of Jesus contrasts with Hisimage in the Gospels.
