Abstract
The intention of this thesis is, by the method of so-called “Redaktionsgeschichte, ” to throw light upon the thought of Mark, which was shown in geographical representations, especially in the name “Galilee”, in his Gospel. How to interpret Mk xiv. 28, xvi. 7, is here the main point of the problem. Through the examination of theories by E. Lohmeyer, W. Marxsen, M. Karnetzki, E. Trocmé etc., the following is explained; that is, “Galilee” in Mark does not mean “heathen Galilee, ” but means the home and the place of daily vocations to those who follow Jesus. To insert xiv. 28, xvi. 7, will not be for the justification of the flight of disciples, but rather for the suggestion to the positive meaning of their remaining in “Galilee.”
