Sažetak
We find the ancient stories of miracles in different layers of tradition, in different forms and types. Based on the study of miracle reports, summaries, apothegms, and logia, we can say that only in exorcisms and cures the historical miraculous work of Jesus could be seen. They are summed up by both summaries and logia. Mk 6:5 shows the unbelief of the people in Jesus’ birthplace (Mk 6:1-6). The Nazarenes wonder at Jesus' public appearance in the synagogue about his wisdom (sofia) and about his miracles (dynameis). In the context of the entire Scripture, both issues receive their contemporary complement of meaning. Does the ability to perform miracles possibly come from Beelzebul? (cf. Mk 3:22). Does wisdom also come from demons as some magical knowledge (cf. Mk 3:20 sl.)? Magical wisdom, actually, uses secret knowledge and keeps observers and listeners away and does not allow them to participate. Jesus' wisdom is the exact opposite. Jesus continues to create the Old Testament revelation ; he heals and conducts exorcisms publicly. He presents himself as a prophet and rebukes the Nazarenes devaluation of his coming (cf. Mk 6, 4). In the eschatological time of the reign of God, the doctrine of wisdom, the working of miracles, and the prophecy in Jesus are united into the unique concept of salvation of all men.
