Abstract
This article explores the intertextual relationships between Psalm 78(77 LXX):12–32 and Mark 4:35–8:21 in terms of their structural and thematic similarities. The spatial settings of the sea and the desert in both texts function as a framework of the narratives in which Mark 4:35–8:21 reflects the Exodus imagery following the pattern of Psalm 78(77 LXX):12–32. In relation to the main theme, Mark has similarity with the Psalm in that as the Israelites fail in their faith despite experiencing God’s mighty works, the disciples show ignorance of who Jesus is despite witnessing his miraculous works.

For over a century, the monthly Expository Times has distinguished itself from other periodicals by successfully combining an interest in all pastoral matters, practical and theoretical with the latest international biblical and theological scholarship. Each edition contains a central section which offers resources for the month for those conducting worship: a sermon by a preacher of distinction, exegetical notes and reports of group readings of the texts for the month, prayers and material for children"s worship. The Expository Times is an invaluable tool for disseminating scholarship relevant to the ministry, giving practical help to preachers, and maintaining a healthy interaction between theology and practice.
