The Wicked Tenants and Gethsemane: Isaiah in the Wicked Tenants’ Vineyard, and Moses and the High Priest in Gethsemane
Roger David Aus
This work examines Judaic traditions evident in the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Mark 12:1-9) and the depiction of Jesus in Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42.) In the first instance, the author of Mark found a resource for his parable in Isaiah 5 and Exodus 15:1-18, while in the second instance, the portrayal of Jesus is linked to Moses’ struggle with death at the end of his life, as well as motifs and expressions used for the high priest on the evening and Day of Atonement. An appendix to the volume compares Paul’s calling and re-commissioning in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 with the description of Moses’ calling and death scene. This is the author’s fourth book on the Judaic sources of New Testament texts.
