The 'Sign from Heaven' and the 'Bread from Heaven' (Mark 8,10-13)

Mark 8,10-13 has attracted the attention of exegetes for its cryptic meaning and elusive literary function.

Riepilogo:Mark 8,10-13 has attracted the attention of exegetes for its cryptic meaning and elusive literary function. The story seems to break a natural transition from the feeding of the multitudes (8,1-10) to the rebuke of the disciples’ lack of understanding thereof (8,14-21).

This essay argues that the narratives about the manna and their traditional development provide Mark with a conceptual framework for the story, in line with the Christological concerns of the narrative.
