THE FIRST MIRACLE OF THE SON OF GOD IN THE GOSPEL OF MARK (MARK 1,21-28). A CONTRIBUTION TO MARK’S CHRISTOLOGY
THE FIRST MIRACLE OF THE SON OF GOD IN THE GOSPEL OF MARK (MARK 1,21-28). A CONTRIBUTION TO MARK’S CHRISTOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: The narratives of the miracles of Jesus Christ play an important role in all four canonical Gospels. The Gospel of Mark narrates eighteen miracles and mentions many others that the Son of God performed during his earthly life. In the narrative descriptions of miracles the Evangelist Mark incorporated a Christological MESSAGE, cleverly making a synthesis of the teaching of Jesus Christ (what he says: the moral teaching) and his authority and power (what he does: the liberation). This theological strategy of the second Evangelist can be seen clearly through the exegesis of Mark 1,21-28 and its message in the whole Gospel’s narrative: Jesus Christ, by word and deed, frees man from enslaving forces which destroy human dignity.
