Preface
The 1983 Pre Marquette Lecture is the fourteenth in a series inaugurated to celebrate the Tercentenary of the missions and explorations of Pre Jacques Marquette, S.J. (1637-1675). The Marquette University Theology Department, founded in 1952, launched these annual lectures by distinguished theologians under the title of the Pre Marquette Lectures in 1969.
The 1983 lecture was delivered at Marquette University April 17, 1983 by Rev. John R. Donahue, S.J., Professor of New Testament at the Jesuit School of Theology and the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, CA.
Fr. Donahue studied theology at Woodstock College, MD, and New Testament at the University of Chicago, where he received his Ph.D. in 1972 under Norman Perrin. He has published Are You the Christ? The Trial of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark and a number of articles on the gospel of Mark in The Passion of Mark, and in Interpretation and the Journal of Biblical Literature and is preparing the Hermeneia commentary on Mark. He has lectured and written on other issues of biblical interpretation,

especially in respect to contemporary theological and social concerns (e.g. "Divorce: New Testament Perspectives", "Biblical Perspectives on Justice" and "The Good News of Peace"). Along with Walter Brueggemann he is editor of the series Overtures to Biblical Theology, and has served for six years on the editorial board of the Journal of Biblical Literature.
Fr. Donahue has lectured extensively on the gospel parables, most recently at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, and is preparing a book on the parables entitled, Proclaiming the Gospel in Parable. He has taught at Woodstock College, N.Y. (1972-73) and at Vanderbilt Divinity School (1973-1980) prior to coming to Berkeley. He has also lectured in the Theological Winter School in South Africa and Zimbabwe and as a visiting professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome and Notre Dame University.

Introduction
More than twenty five years of study of the Gospel of Mark from the perspective of redaction criticism has revealed that it is a complex and significant theological work in the development of early Christianity. Since W. Marxsen's seminal essays in 1956 virtually every aspect of Mark's theology and the context of this theology have been examined.1 This examination has proceeded in definite stages with Christology and Eschatology occupying the front stage. In recent years, however, the emphasis has shifted to the question of disciples and discipleship in Mark.2 This interest in the Markan portrait of the disciples coincides with interest in the background to discipleship in the New Testament period and to examinations of discipleship in other New Testament works. It also coincides, especially in Roman Catholicism, with the adoption of discipleship as a broad theological and ecclesiological category which is evident in the description of the church as a "community of disciples" in the encyclical Redemptor Hominis by John Paul II and in the adoption of this phrase by Avery Dulles as a comprehensive model for the church.3

While a work which begins with the statement "the good news of Jesus, Messiah, Son of God," (Mk 1:1) has an obvious Christological thrust, with the sayings and deeds of Jesus in the forefront, the story of the disciples occupies a strong second position. In fact what is new about the form "gospel" are not new insights into Christology since the modes of Christology found in Mark are virtually all anticipated by the earlier Pauline letters. What is new is the narrative engagement of all kinds of people in the unfolding story of Jesus. The gospel of Mark tells us not only who Jesus is, but what it is to be involved with him. The structure of Mark vividly illustrates this.4 Immediately after the initial proclamation of his mission, "The kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel" (1:15), Jesus summons two pairs of brothers to follow him and to share in his mission (1:16-20). Every major section of the gospel begins with a story about discipleship and the middle section, 8:27-10:52, long recognized as the gateway to Mark's major theological concerns, consists almost completely of dialogue between Jesus and the disciples. The dramatic movement of the disciples from enthusiastic response to the call of Jesus through misunderstanding of his mighty works
