Shrnutí:Scholars agree that the Gospel of Mark was composed around the time of the Judaean War and this paper suggests that these conditions inform the Markan Jesus’ subjectivity. Mark presents Jesus as a time-displaced man from post-War Judaea who inhabited Galilee during the reign of Herod Antipas. The Markan Jesus operates with an anachronistic hindsight, allowing him to authorize practices for the Markan readers in the post-War period, whether through explicit instruction or exemplary behavior. Jesus’ status as a post-War subject residing the pre-War period legitimates their claims within post-War Jewish authenticity politics. Such redescription can help reconceive Mark’s story as part of ordinary human processes of legitimation and authorization.
