 Friends, on this Palm Sunday, we are privileged to become immersed in *Mark’s
great Passion narrative*, where the kingship of Jesus emerges with great
clarity—and also with great irony.

We read that *upon being brought before the Sanhedrin, Jesus is asked
whether he is the Messiah, an implicit reference to David. When Jesus
calmly responds, “I am,” the high priest tears his robes, for how could a
shackled criminal possibly be the kingly descendant of David? Upon being
presented to Pilate, Jesus is asked the functionally equivalent question:
“Are you the king of the Jews?” Again a calmly affirmative answer comes:
“You say so.” This leads the soldiers to mock him, placing a purple cloak
on his shoulders and a crown of thorns on his head.*

Mark does not want us to miss the irony that, *precisely as the King of the
Jews and the Son of David, Jesus is implicitly king to those soldiers*. *
For the mission of the Davidic king is the unification not only of the
tribes of Israel but also of the tribes of the world. What commenced with
David’s gathering of the tribes of Israel would soon reach completion in
the criminal raised high on the cross, thereby drawing all people to
himself.*
*Lábunk együtt járjon, kezünk együtt gyűjtsön, *
*szívünk együtt dobbanjon, bensőnk együtt érezzen, *
*elménk gondolata egy legyen, *
*fülünk együtt figyeljen a csöndességre, *
*szemünk egymásba nézzen és tekintetünk összeforrjon, *

*ajkunk együtt könyörögjön az Örök Atyához irgalomért! *
*Amen*
