'Han (Mk. I 16)

'Han (Mk. I 16) 'HAN (MK. I 16) Jesus's Fishermen and the Parable of the Net BY J. DUNCAN M. DERRETT University of London The Lake of Galilee is the centre of Jesus's activity (Mk. ii 13, iii 7, iv I f) and it has not been explained why 1). The Galilean aspect of Christ is played down in St John's gospel and plays no role in the epistles. Yet the Lake and its environs involve several episodes. The Feeding of the Five Thousand belongs to its ambience, and the crossings of the Lake are curiously obtrusive in the story. The Calling of the first apostles, the 'miraculous draught of fish' which Luke chooses to associate with the Calling, the parable of the Net, the Storm on the Lake, and the last fishing expedition constitute five topics which we can easily surmise to be connected. In this study four are handled, as they more evidently belong together. They are all derived, by different paths, from Ezek. xlvii, and economy of demonstration, if no other consideration, demands that they be taken up together. The defects in existing studies of these passages arise from the fact that the common origin has not been observed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Novum Testamentum Brill

Abstract

'HAN (MK. I 16) Jesus's Fishermen and the Parable of the Net BY J. DUNCAN M. DERRETT University of London The Lake of Galilee is the centre of Jesus's activity (Mk. ii 13, iii 7, iv I f) and it has not been explained why 1). The Galilean aspect of Christ is played down in St John's gospel and plays no role in the epistles. Yet the Lake and its environs involve several episodes. The Feeding of the Five Thousand belongs to its ambience, and the crossings of the Lake are curiously obtrusive in the story. The Calling of the first apostles, the 'miraculous draught of fish' which Luke chooses to associate with the Calling, the parable of the Net, the Storm on the Lake, and the last fishing expedition constitute five topics which we can easily surmise to be connected. In this study four are handled, as they more evidently belong together. They are all derived, by different paths, from Ezek. xlvii, and economy of demonstration, if no other consideration, demands that they be taken up together. The defects in existing studies of these passages arise from the fact that the common origin has not been observed.
