db127 Seeing Mark & Mat this way thoroughly ~~~~~~
REORIENTS
OUR UNDERSTANDING
of its relation to the Gospel of Matthew as well.
Let's look at the crucial parallel text from Matai 15:15-20.
But Sjim'on Petros aka Kefas said to him,
'EXPLAIN THE PARABLE TO US!'
Then he said,
"ARE YOU ALSO STILL WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING?
DO YOU NOT SEE THAT WHATEVER GOES INTO THE MOUTH ENTERS THE STOMACH, & GOES OUT INTO THE SEWER?
BUT WHAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH PROCEEDS FROM THE HEART, AND THIS IS WHAT DEFILES!
FOR OUT OF THE HEART COME EVIL INTENTIONS, MURDER, ADULTERY, FORNICATION, THEFT, FALSE WITNESS, SLANDER!
THESE ARE WHAT DEFILE A PERSON, BUT TO EAT WITH UNWASHED HANDS
DOES NOT DEFILE!"
The Matthean text makes explicit that which might be ambiguous in Mark as we've read already several time before. From beginning to end of this passage, it's not about anything bu washing of the hands. There is not the slightest suggestion in Matai that Jesus abrogated the laws of permitted & forbidden foods: Matai's Yesh certainly kept kosher, a fact that no one can deny.
But is Mat a "JUDAIZING" revision of Mark, as many commentators have it, one who backed off from the radical implications of Mark's Yesh? It is genuine, "original" Christian orthodoxy to hold to hold that the kosher laws written in Moshe's Torah mean nothing (& by implication all of the other so-called ritual laws of the Torah), with Mat a temporizing voice that actually serves to neutralize the authentic Christian message on the Law as represented by Mark & Sha'ul Paulos (SP), namely that Christianity is a whole new religion, an 'entirely different way of serving G d" from the way that the Israelites & Jews have understood it? On OUR reading, it is NOT: whether Mark comes first (as a few scholars still hold), either way Yesh kept kosher & thus was kept kosher! Torah-abiding Jesus folks are not aberrant; they simply ARE the EARLIEST "Church"!
