撮要

本文旨在指出馬可福音一章2至3節中的舊約引述是舊約傳統和它在新約時代的應驗之間的橋樑,其作用在於將舊約中上帝拯救祂的子民離開曠野,與記載在福音書中有關上述舊約應許的成就連接起來。這樣,這句舊約引述不但是馬可序言的開始,更是整個福音故事的開始,因而為馬可福音的解釋提供適當的方向。

ABSTRACT

This study seeks to show that the initial quotation in Mark 1:2-3 functions as a bridge between the Old Testament tradition of God’s deliverance of His people through the wilderness and that of its fulfillment in the Gospel story. As such it is not only the beginning of the prologue but also the beginning of the whole Gospel and provides the proper orientation for the interpretation of the Gospel of Mark.
