GARCIA ARENAS, Paula Andrea. The Bread in the Gospel according to Mark: The Feud between the Children and the Dogs. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2014, vol.41, n.96, pp.307-324. ISSN 0120-131X.
When we read the Gospel of Mark we find a clear theological purpose: revealing who is Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God (Mark 1:1). In order to achieve this, Mark proposes to the reader a route that begins at Galilee with the words and actions of Jesus, leads to Jerusalem with the Paschal mystery, and finishes with his return to Galilee after the resurrection to meet the apostle as he had announced (Mark 16:7). Though to realize the identity of Jesus and be able to conclude as the centurion did in the Gospel that "Surely this man was the Son of God", we should complete the whole journey, the Gospel also provides some keys and clues about his identity. One of these clues is the recurrent reference to Bread, which in the Gospel of Mark occurs more than 30 times, especially in chapters 6-8, known as the "Bread Section". The following paper focuses on this section, specifically in the geographical itinerary that Mark has outlined, in order to discover within the dialogue with the Syrophoenician woman in chapter 7 the model of the disciple who has actually realized the true identity of Jesus and his redemption project.
