What does Mark chapter 2 verse 18 to 22 mean?

Jesus taught two things about His ministry: He came to save sinners, not the religious, and He came to bring gladness, not sadness. The third lesson is this: He came to introduce something new. The religious leaders liked Jesus’ teaching and might have wanted to add some of it to their own religion. They wanted a mix of Pharisee Judaism and what Christ taught. But Jesus showed that this was wrong. It would be like putting patches on an old, worn-out garment. The new patches would ruin the old garment when it was washed. The Christian faith is exclusive. It will not accept any other faith. “There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Salvation is not just fixing up your life; it’s a whole new start (Isaiah 61:10; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

How can they fast when the bridegroom?

But when he is taken away, they will fast. This is also in Matthew 9:14-15 and Luke 5:33-35. This question of Jesus may not be a parable, but we will treat it like the others we have discussed.

Setting and Context – At the start of Jesus’ ministry, he chose Levi the son of Alphaeus to follow him. They went to Levi’s house to eat. The scribes and Pharisees were upset at his associating with tax collectors and sinners. Some came to him and asked about fasting.

Why did the Pharisees fast?

Purity is another social reality in this parable. The Pharisees were concerned with being pure, living without sin. The Pharisee bases his assumption of purity on his obedience to the law. He fasts twice a week, prays, and tithes. In Jesus’s parable, the publican is seen as pure because he doesn’t follow the rules of the community. Again, the Pharisee is not declared clean on the basis of his religious actions, but the tax collector is. Jesus’ parable shows that not everyone who expects to be saved is saved. Two men went to the temple to pray. This is like the story of the two sons in Luke 15:11-32. The audience is surprised by God’s grace in justifying the sinner. The one who is assumed to be justified is rejected, and the other is accepted. The parable of the prodigal son does not have the same exclusivity as the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. The father in the previous parable welcomes the prodigal son home, but also welcomes the son who stayed home. In Luke 15:31, the father says that the son has always been with him and that he shares in all the father’s possessions. However, Jesus says the tax collector was justified, but the Pharisee was not (Lk 18:14). This parable is similar to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16.19-31, two men are compared. Both die. The rich man goes to Hades, and Lazarus goes to Abraham’s bosom (Lk 16:22-23). This parable is similar to the one we’re considering. One man is accepted by God, and the other is rejected. This idea of being chosen by God would have been familiar to Jesus’ Jewish audience. It is found in the Old Testament, for example, in the stories of Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, and Saul and David. Kodell notes that the events following this parable are similar: the blessing of the children (Lk 18:15-17) and the rich young ruler (Lk 18:18-25).

The technique is using pairs as examples. The Pharisee and the tax collector are paralleled with the rich ruler and the children. (Kodell 1987:423)
