| Summary: | What is the significance to Jesus' intention to "pass by" his disciples when he sees them straining at the oars on the Sea of Galilee in Mark 6? What OT texts might illuminate the meaning of this event? What purpose does this pericope serve in light of the broader purposes of Mark's Gospel? Such are the questions explored in this essay, which argues that a specific cluster of OT texts informs Mark's account of Jesus walking on the sea in Mark 6. When these OT texts are taken into account and Mark is read against the broader purposes of the whole Gospel, the eschatological implications of Jesus walking on the sea are clarified in a way that to this point has not been sufficiently recognized. |
