| Summary: | Readings of Jesus' speech in Mark 12:1-11 often focus on its situation within the temple controversy episodes (Mark 11:15-12:37) and understand it at the level of the depicted rhetoric of Jesus in conflict with Jewish leaders. This article argues that, although it does function at one level as polemic, a significant aspect of the speech's persuasiveness lies in the effect created at a level outside the literary construct. The speech, disconnected to an extent from the narrative argument about authority, addresses crucial Markan topics-the rejection and reinstatement of a beloved son-which cannot be known to the narrative figures. As Mark's readers/hearers perceive this incongruity, they could reasonably be expected to hear Jesus' voice projected past the temple scene to their time and place. |
