Cerinthus and the Gospel of Mark: The Priority of the Longer Ending

In the study of the endings of Mark, manuscript studies alone may not be able to answer the question of Mark’s initial text. The reasons why certain texts were edited need to be explored. Here we will consider the issues arising from the adoptionist

In Cerinthus’ adoptionist perspective—or what Kok more accurately calls a ‘possession Christology’19— a divine Power ‘Christ’ descended upon Jesus at his baptism, ‘in the form of a dove’. From then on Jesus proclaimed the ‘unknown Father and performed miracles’. Jesus was greater than every one else in righteousness, prudence and wisdom. However, the spiritual Christ, who was impassable, left Jesus at his death, though Jesus the man rose again.20 In short, ‘Christ’ did not suffer; only Jesus did.
