The Disciples in Mark\u27s Gospel between Incomprehension, Fear and Faith

U Markovu evanđelju učenici imaju središnju ulogu u procesu objavljivanja tajne o Isusovoj osobi. Evanđelist ne prikazuje Isusovu mesijansku stvarnost samo različitim kristološkim titulama, nego posvećuje veliku pozornost učenika i drugih Isusovu moćnom djelovanju i naučavanju. Markovo evanđelje otkriva primarni proces kristološkoga traganja i naslućivanja posebno i motivom straha koji je izražen skupinom riječi korijena φοβ- i razlikuje se od motiva čuđenja i njegovanja. Neposredna povezanost motiva straha s ključnim kristološkim mjestima daje naslutiti da Marko želi naglasiti pozitivnu vrijednost toga motiva pri razvijanju kristološkoga koncepta svoga evanđelja. Osobito se to primjećuje u Mk 4,35-41. Učenici su u odnosu prema Isusu razapeti između nerazumijevanja, čuđenja, straha i vjere. Njihova reakcija nerazumijevanja većinom je praćena numinoznim strahom, što im daje pozitivnu ulogu u Markovu konceptu otkrivanja tajne Sina Čovječjega.In Mark\u27s Gospel, the disciples take a central role in the process of proclaiming the mystery of the person of Jesus. The evangelist does not portray Jesus\u27 reality of the Messiah merely with various Christological titles but by dedicating great attention to the disciples and others to Jesus\u27 powerful actions and teachings. Mark\u27s Gospel discloses the primary process of Christological search and anticipation with the special motive of fear which is expressed with the dictionary term fob- and is differentiated from the motive of wonder, care. The direct connection between the motive of fear with key Christological places leads us to the presumption that Mark wishes to emphasise the positive value of that motive when developing the Christological concept of his Gospel. That is particularly noticeable in Mk 4:35-41. With regard to Jesus, the disciples are spread between incomprehension, wonder, fear and faith. Their reaction of incomprehension is followed by views of numinous fear which gives them a positive role in Mark\u27s concept of disclosing the truth about the Son of Man
