Sažetak
In this essey the author analyses the last words of Jesus in
Mark's Gospel. By setting these words in the context of Mark's
description of Jesus' death, he finds out in them the prayer with
which Jesus expresses his present condition in the terms of the
relation with God.
Dying on the cross, Jesus takes the initiative twice and addresses
a strong cry to God. With first cry, by using the words of Ps 22, he
expesses his condition which is the result of release to free will and
cruelty of men, what he feels as an abandon of God. This experience
comes from his filial relation with Father and determines its quality
and intensity. God, the Father, is not active in the moment of the
greatist necessity of the Son, who feels alone, abandoned even from
the most faithful.
With seeond cry Jesus reacts on the condition which feels and
delivers himself in the hands of Father. The experience of abandon is
integreted in his mission, which in this way comes to the end. As a
consequence of ali, God reacts, answering to his suffering and
confirming his complet mission.
The cryes-prayers of dying cause a reactions of those present, the
different and contradictory reactions, which are the humane
explications of Jesus' prayer. The Jesus' enemyes find his prayer as a demand for miraculous intervention of God, waht is the false
interpretatori of his prayer. But one pagan, the roman centurion,
estimates exactly the Jesus' prayer. By its Jesus lives and expresses
his unity with Father, by which ali other circumstances, even the
most terrible and painful, become secondary. The Jesus' prayer on the cross is the characteristic expresion of his filial identity.
