Central Idea: Jesus commanded the man to quietly show himself to the priest (situation), but instead he spoke freely about Jesus (response). Explanations: 1. I gave this passage a Situation-Response designation, although I consider it an ironic Sit-R. The key characteristic of Sit-R is surprise (in the response). Yet, I find it ironic that the response of the healed leper is "surprising", because who would possibly expect a newly cleansed outcast to keep quiet?? His own joy, combined with the town's unquenchable curiosity, would render it humanly impossible to "say nothing to no one". So Mark has given us an ironic Sit-R . 2. I initially wondered if the relationship between the healed man's preaching and reporting in v. 45 should be designated as a Progression, but I could not really detect any significant distinction between his preaching and his reporting. They seem to me as one and the same action. Mark is simply giving us a Series to highlight the emphatic nature of the former leper's (disobedient?) actions. 3. I gave this entire arc an R for Response. I consider verses 43-45 the Response to the Situation found in 40-42. We have here a rather surprising response to the situation of Jesus healing this leper. Who would ever naturally expect Jesus to command this man to keep quiet? Insights: 1. Note how in v. 40, Jesus' ability is proclaimed, but then in v. 45, his inability is explained. He was more than able to cleanse the leper, and as a result, found himself unable to enter a city openly. Jesus has truly taken the role of the leper, banished outside the camp, left to hide out in the wilderness. He took on the leper's isolation by enabling this man's return to society. 2. If given more than a casual glance, v. 45 might seem to paint an ominous picture. Jesus finds himself banished outside the camp with people pursuing him on every side. It is as if he is a leper who, after trying to enter civilization, is now being attacked from all sides--much like a condemnatory stoning. 3. Ironically, our situation (since we are post-crucifixion/resurrection disciples) is reversed from that of this healed leper. Whereas he was told to go to the priest without telling anyone, we are to tell everyone--and we have no need to go to a priest. These verses foreshadow the cross in at least 2 ways. First, Jesus' reference to Moses' commanded sacrifice foreshadows Jesus' sacrifice (esp. in light of Lev. 14). Second, the picture of Jesus being surrounded by unwanted crowds in the wilderness foreshadows the hounding passersby who ridiculed Jesus on the cross (Mk. 15:29). Questions: 1. Was the healed leper disobedient ? Yes. This kind of action could lead to an over-hyped response to Jesus' ability to heal physical (temporal) deficiencies, thus distracting from the more important spiritual (eternal) provision of salvation that he came to secure. 2. Are we to follow the pattern of this man, by preaching and reporting the word and works of Jesus, or are we to keep quiet in obedience to Jesus' command? As disciples after the crucifixion/resurrection--given the Great Commission--we are called to tell the world about what Jesus has done to us. But we must bear in mind the reason for Jesus' insistence on silence in this passage--we want the world to hear about Jesus because of the salvation he brings, not any earthly blessings he may or may not bestow.
