Abstract

This article argues that, based on a close reading of the ancient textual, documentary and epigraphic evidence, the expression ὁ μικρός in Mark 15.40 is most likely a nickname regarding this James’ particular height or potentially an affectionate indication that he is a child. The expression ὁ μικρός is not an indication of comparative age to another person (‘younger’). The evidence from ancient epigraphy and the LXX, initially provided by Adolf Deissmann to support a longstanding reading of ὁ μικρός as ‘the younger’ in Mark 15.40, proves to be less than reliable.

小詹姆斯:Μικρός作为身高或感情的指示，而不是马可福音15章40节中年龄的比较

本文认为，基于对古代文本、文献和铭文证据的仔细阅读，马可福音15.40中的表达“ς μικρός”很可能是对这位詹姆斯特殊身高的昵称，或者可能是对他是个孩子的深情暗示。表达“ς μικρός”并不表示与另一个人的年龄比较(“年轻”)。来自古代铭文和LXX的证据，最初是由Adolf Deissmann提供的，以支持在马可福音15.40中对“μικρός”的长期解读，证明是不可靠的。
