Stephen Ahearne-Kroll examines the literary interaction between the
Gospel of Mark's passion narrative and four Psalms of Individual
Lament evoked in it. These four psalms depict a David who
challenges God's role in his suffering, who searches for
understanding of his suffering in light of his past relationship
with God, and who attempts to shame God into acting on his behalf
only because he is suffering. Mark alludes to these psalms in
reference to Jesus; David's concerns become woven into the
depiction of Jesus. Reading David's challenge to God as part of
Jesus' going 'as it is written of him' (i.e., suffering and dying
according to Scripture; Mark 14:21) calls into question the
necessity for Jesus' death within an apocalyptic framework of
meaning. Finally, the suffering King David offers a more
appropriate model for Jesus' suffering in Mark than that of the
servant from Deutero-Isaiah.
