No, Adam Winn said Mark borrowed Isaiah but mostly the Book of Kings.Giuseppe wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 2:03 am What Winn has done is having Mark who derives the parable from Isaiah.
But in p. 34 Couchoud concedes that Mark was based also on Isaiah, just as he concedes that Hermas is based on Isaiah. Even so, Couchoud says that the similarities in details between the two parables are so striking that they can't be explained only by appealing to a common use of Isaiah. Hermas had to have read Mark, or Mark had to have read Hermas. A probabilistic approach gives finally the answer: Mark is based on Hermas because there is an evident accretion of titles for the son, whereas the contrary is surely less expected (that Hermas would have removed some divine titles from the parable as found in Mark, without a reason to do so).
the use of Jehu's rebellion in 2 Kings to explain the tragical death of the son in Mark is a mere corollary of Mark having well in the background the just happened destruction of Jerusalem, going to be compared to the rebellion of Jehu etc. Couchoud doesn't deny that if the parable has taken a different and more tragical final in Mark, then it is caused by the Mark's focus on the destruction of Jerusalem (which has moved Mark to use, Winn docet, also 2 Kings). Even so, Couchoud's point remains all: the similarities between the two parables impose a relation along the lines Hermas---> Mark and not vice versa.
Yes that's the common answer regarding the connection with Amos. But these scholars, like Couchoud, seems to ignore another verse from the equation and the whole context of Amos 2 :neilgodfrey wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 1:02 amThat was my first reaction, too. But Couchoud does have a reply:Sinouhe wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 12:27 am I don’t see a real connection between the parable of Mark and the parabole of Hermas. I think Adam Winn Is right when he says that it was a rewriting of a passage from the book of Kings. I can privide you his explanation if you want.
I also disagree with his explanation of the young man running away naked. It is clearly a pesher of Amos 2 since in Mark 14, we find 2 striking parallels with 2 verses of the same chapter of Amos.
translated fromThe prophecy of Amos has no application here. It does not fit the text well, for in Mark the young man is not "the bravest" (he is not the one who struck the sword) and in Amos it is not said that the warrior "gives up" a garment.
La prophétie d’Amos n’a pas ici d’application. Elle s’adapte mal d’ailleurs, au texte car dans Marc le jeune homme n’est pas “ le plus courageux ” (ce n’est pas lui quia donné le coup d’épée) et dans Amos il n’est pas dit que le guerrier “ abandonne ” un vêtement.
I agree with that and i have absolutely no problem to imagine that Mark borrowed Hermas, or Josephus.
I want to add that in both Amos and Mark, Judas Iscariot and the sons of Juda are the ones being accused to sell the righteous for money :Sinouhe wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 2:41 amYes that's the common answer regarding the connection with Amos.

Amos 2 is about YHWH being angry against Israel because of their iniquities (by example they sold the righteous for money).
Then, god promise to Israel that he will punish them.
We know that Mark borrowed the prophets to prove that Israel was punished and the temple destroyed because of their iniquities.
That's exactly what we find in Amos 2.
--> A righteous being sold for money is exactly what Judas did with Jesus the righteous one.
--> A brave flying naked is exactly what this young man did in Mark 14.
And of course, a pesher is not meant to have the exact same meaning or context in both texts. Mark actualize Amos 2 regarding his life of Jesus. That's exactly what Qumran did with the pesharim regarding the life of the teacher of Righteousness.
Moreover :
- The word ἀργυρίου only appear here in the whole Gospel of Mark.
-----------------------------------------
- The word γυμνὸς only appear here in the whole Gospel of Mark.
In addition, as you certainly already know it, we had in Amos 2:12 another probable connection with Mark's passion narrative :
Amos 2:12
"“But you made the Nazirites drink wine"
who refer likely to Mark 15:23
Mark 15:23
Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
+ Amos 8:9 a likely connection with the eclipse in Mark :
Amos 8:9
“In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight"
Mark 15:33
At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
