一百年前赖德提出弥赛亚秘密是《马可福音》的神学主题。他认为耶稣的弥赛亚称号不是历史耶稣自己的宣称而是早期教会信仰的产物。赖德的观点赢得了很多支持,也遇到同样多的反对。由于该学说并不能解读所有的马可经文,一直以来,学者从各自的角度对之进行修订和辩驳。本文运用社会科学批判的方法考察《马可福音》的经文,分析耶稣运动的行动策略和话语策略。从马可经文来看,耶稣及其群体医病赶鬼、宣扬天国福音主要是在乡村地区,而且他们常常遣散跟随的群众,退到荒野或者外族人地区。本文分析认为,他们如此做是出于安全的考量,避免与政治、宗教当局发生直接冲突;出于同样的考虑,耶稣以比喻讲解天国能使自己人更加明白,而使外人更加不明白它的含义。鉴此,本文对弥赛亚秘密这一老课题做出新的解读,以示耶稣为什么既隐藏又揭示他的弥赛亚身份;同时也从一个新的角度回答“耶稣为什么用比喻进行教导”这一常问常新的问题。 One hundred years ago Ryder proposed Messianic secrecy as the theological theme of Mark. He believes that the title of Messiah of Jesus is not the product of the faith of the historical Jesus but the product of the faith of the early Church. Rider’s point of view won a lot of support, also encountered as much opposition. Since this doctrine can not interpret all Mark’s essays, scholars have always revised and rebutted them from their respective perspectives. This article examines the text of Mark’s Gospel using the critical approach of the social sciences and analyzes the strategies of action and discourse of Jesus’ movement. From the point of view of Mark’s writings, Jesus and his group cast out the hell to preach the gospel of heaven, mainly in rural areas, and they often dismissed the following people and retreated to wilderness or alien areas. The analysis of this paper argues that they do so out of safety considerations and avoid direct clashes with political and religious authorities; for the same reason Jesus uses the analogy to explain that Heaven can make one understand better and make one more unintelligible to outsiders meaning. In light of this, this article makes a new interpretation of the old subject of Messianic Secrets to show why Jesus hides and reveals his Messianic identity, and at the same time responds from a new perspective: “Why did Jesus teach with metaphors? ”This often asked frequently asked questions.
