Theophylact of Ohrid, Gospel of Mark, byzantine commentaries, John the BaptisAbstract
Theophylact of Ohrid is the author of the first extant Greek commentary to the entire Gospel of Mark. He considered John the Baptist as a distinctive character in this Gospel. He saw in him the last prophet and the beginning of the Gospel. The commentary offers both literal and allegorical interpretation of many passages mentioning Jesus’s Forerunner. The recognizing of the role of John the Baptist for the specificity of this Gospel and impossibility to depend on the previous commentaries reveal the originality of Theophylact exegesis and his philological and theological competences.
