the Gospel of Mark, the journey of Jesus to Jerusalem, the symbolic meaning of fire, the symbolic meaning of saltAbstract
The paper analyses one verse from the speech of Jesus which takes the central place both in the whole Gospel of Mark and in its section dealing with the journey of Jesus to Jerusalem. This context helps to understand the difficult verse as an exhortation to maintain the peace inside the community of the disciples and benevolence towards those outside it, even if it requires sufferings and sacrifices. Various symbolic meanings of fire and salt are also presented, including their connection with the sacrament of baptism.
