BIBLE. Mark; PSALM 22 (Poem); INTERTEXTUALITY in the Bible; CHRISTOLOGY; CRUCIFIXION of Jesus Christ; THEOLOGY; JESUS Christ

Por lo general, los intérpretes del Evangelio de Marcos comprenden las alusiones y citas al salmo 22 en la narrativa de la pasión de Cristo como indicaciones del cumplimiento profético de las escrituras de Israel. Sin embargo, esto es una conclusión teológica, no literaria. En ese contexto, este artículo plantea, utilizando un enfoque literario, que Marcos usa el salmo 22 con tres propósitos: en primer lugar, quiere escriturizar los detalles históricos del relato de la cruciixión de Jesús. En segundo lugar, él utiliza el salmo 22 para realzar los motivos literarios de abandono, desesperación, desprecio y derrota presentes en su narrativa. Él invita a sus lectores a comprender los detalles de la cruciixión de Jesús a la luz de los sufrimientos del salmista, en quien los motivos, antes mencionados, están representados vívidamente. En tercer lugar, para completar su imagen de Jesús como divino, el salmo 22 le permite a Marcos presentar a Jesús como humano. La desesperación, el abandono divino y humano y la derrota de Jesús son característicos de la experiencia humana. Al describir a Jesús de esta manera, surge una cristología divino-humana en el Evangelio. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Usually, the interpreters of Mark’s gospel understand the allusions and citations to psalm 22 in his passion narrative as proof of prophetic fulillment. his reveals a theological conclusion rather than a literary one. Instead, this article poses, using a literary approach, that Mark uses psalm 22 for three purposes: irstly, he wants to scripturize the historical details of Jesus’ cruciixion account. Secondly, he uses psalm 22 to enhance the literary motifs of abandonment, despair, contempt, and defeat present in his narrative. He invites his readers to understand the details of Jesus cruciixion in light of the suferings of the psalmist wherein the motifs aforementioned are represented vividly. hirdly, as a completion of his picture of Jesus as divine, psalm 22 enables Mark to present Jesus as human. Jesus’ despair, divine and human abandonment, and defeat are proper of human experience. By describing Jesus this way, a divine-human Christology emerges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
