1. Marc 10:34 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Is this verse specifically about the Gentiles or is it more general than that?

Marc 10:34 (NEG79)

34 qui se moqueront de lui, cracheront sur lui, le battront de verges, et le feront mourir; et, trois jours après, il ressuscitera.

It is difficult to decide whether this verse deals with what the Gentiles will do or whether it speaks in more general terms about what will happen to Jesus (be it from the side of the Jews, the Gentiles, or both). The mocking takes place before Pilate (Mark 15:20), but also by the chief priests and scribes at the cross (Mark 15:31). The flogging happens before Pilate (John 19:1); the spitting both after the nightly meeting of the Sanhedrin (Mark 14:65) and before Pilate (Mark 15:19). The killing is an action not only of the Roman soldiers who crucify him, but also an event resulting from the activity of the Sanhedrin—it is not for nothing that Pilate gives Jesus once again over to the Jews (Mark 15:15)!1
