In Biblical criticism, the Messianic Secret refers to a motif primarily in the Gospel of Mark in which Jesus is portrayed as commanding his followers to silence about his Messianic mission. Attention was first drawn to this motif in 1901 by William Wrede. Part of Wrede's theory involved statements in the New Testament by Jesus to demons who recognise his divine nature as well as to his followers not to reveal to others that he is the Messiah.〔William Wrede, (''Das Messiasgeheimnis in den Evangelien: Zugleich ein Beitrag zum Verständnis des Markusevangeliums'' ), (Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1901); English edition, William Wrede, ''The Messianic Secret'', trans. The Rev'd James C. G. Grieg (Cambridge: James Clarke & Co., 1971).〕〔James L. Blevins. The Messianic Secret in Markan Research, 1901–1976. Washington, D. C.: University Press of America, 1981. ISBN 978-0-8191-1606-2〕 Wrede suggested that this theme was not historical but was an addition by the author of Mark. Wrede's broad concept of the Messianic Secret also involved the use of parables by Jesus.〔 Wrede's theory had an inherent inter-relationship with the hypothesis of Markan priority, which Wrede eventually abandoned, but some of his followers accepted.〔 The theory was strongly criticized in the first years of the 20th century, then gained acceptance in the 1920s; but eventually began to lose support and by the 1970s it no longer existed as Wrede had proposed it.〔 ==New Testament examples== In the New Testament, Jesus commands silence in many instances.〔W. R. Telford. ''The New Testament, a Short Introduction'', pp. 139. Oneworld. Oxford. 2002. ISBN 978-1-85168-289-8〕 An example is Mark 8:29–30:〔 :And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. Jesus also issues commands of silence after miracles and healings, e.g. in Mark 1:43–45 in the cleansing of a leper:〔 :After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, saying to him, 'See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.' The concept, as Wrede used it also included parables and secrets of the Kingdom of God as in Mark 4:11:〔 :And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Messianic Secret」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
