Marcus shows that Daniel 7, cited in Mark 14:62, is lurking behind the trial narrative as a whole. Daniel 7 tells about judgment being passed against the bestial empires in favor of the people of the saints of the most high, with the result that all dominion and power is given to the latter. Mark characteristically inverts this by alluding to this passage in the midst of a scene where Jesus is on trial, and where the bestial empires look healthy as can be. Yet, \u201cMark\u2019s use of Daniel implies that in the long run it is Jesus\u2019 judges who will be judged; they, who today are scandalized by him and his words, will be condemned by him when they see him coming with the clouds at the eschaton.\u201d As John reported Jesus saying, the trial and cross of Jesus are ultimately the \u201cjudgment of this world\u201d \u2013 not the judgment of Jesus the Judge who is judged before judging. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
