is you can't attribute a meaning to the text of Mark
-
that doesn't make sense in the first century in his own context.
-
For example, if you're a Christian,
-
you're going to read some of the Psalms in the Hebrew Bible
-
as being about Jesus, probably, most Christians do.
-
When the Psalmist says, "The Lord said to my Lord,
-
Sit at my right hand and
-
I will make your enemies your footstool."
-
Christians have traditionally said the first "Lord" there is God,
-
and the second "Lord"is Jesus,
-
and this is an Old Testament reference to
-
God the Father and God the Son.
