What Does Mark 6:15 Mean?
Speculation multiplies around Jesus. Some say Elias, the prophet expected to return before the great day of the Lord; others settle for a vaguer honor, a prophet like those of former times. Everyone senses that God is at work; no one yet says who he truly is.
The guesses are generous and still too small. To call Jesus a prophet is to stand at the edge of the truth without entering it. The same question presses on every reader of Mark: the categories of the crowd will not hold him, and each heart must finally answer for itself who this is.
