2. 32 De førte til ham en mann som var døv og hadde
vondt for å tale, og de ba ham legge hendene på
ham. 33 Jesus tok ham med seg bort fra mengden.
Han stakk fingrene i ørene hans, tok spytt og berørte
tungen hans. 34 Så løftet han blikket mot himmelen,
sukket og sa til ham: «Effata!» – det betyr: «Lukk deg
opp!» 35 Straks ble ørene hans åpnet, båndet som
bandt tungen hans, ble løst, og han snakket rent. 36

Markus, 7:32-38
3. 5 Da skal blindes øyne åpnes
og døves ører lukkes opp.
6 Da skal den lamme springe som en
hjort,
og den stummes tunge skal juble.
For vann bryter fram i ørkenen
og bekker i ødemarken.
7 Glødende sand blir til innsjø,
det tørste land til kilder med vann.
Sjakalers boplass blir et hvilested
hvor gresset gror mellom rør og siv.
8 Og der skal det være en vei,
Den hellige vei skal den kalles.
På den skal ingen uren ferdes.
Den skal være der for dem.
Ingen som går på veien,
selv ikke dårer, skal gå seg vill.
Jessaia, 35:5-8

Men jeg vet en bro som er gammel, brun og
stygg.
På den står et skilt der du leser:
«Hundrede Mand kan jeg bære paa min
Rygg. Men svigter om de alle
marscherer.»
Jeg sier: Hei. kom bli med meg! For vi kan
trenge en som deg.
Og leende barn skal leke i ditt spenn og
slippe små steiner ned i elva.
Mens mennesket søker sin fremtid.

7. But something else was needed, a finer
being,
More capable of mind, a sage, a ruler,
So Man was born, it may be, in God’s
image,
Or Earth, perhaps, so newly separated
From the old fire of Heaven, still retained
Some seed of the celestial force which
fashioned
Gods out of living clay and running water.
All other animals look downwards; Man,
Alone, erect, can raise his face towards
Heaven.
Ovid, c 8 AD/1955,
1.76-84

8. -Evangelieteksten forteller
oss at kvinnene gikk for “å
se graven” (Matteus 28:1).
De tror de vil finne Jesus
der, i graven, og at alt er
over for alltid. Noen
ganger tenker nok også vi
at gleden over møtet med
Jesus er noe som hører
fortiden til.

Editor's Notes
Bilde: The Healing of the Deaf Man is a fresco from around 830 AD that depicts the scene of Mark 7:34 in the Church of St. John in Müstair, Switzerland1. It is part of a series of frescoes that illustrate the life and miracles of Jesus, as well as scenes from the Old Testament and the Apocalypse. The fresco shows Jesus touching the ears and tongue of the deaf and mute man, while a crowd of people watch in awe. The style of the painting is influenced by Byzantine art, with elongated figures, expressive gestures, and bright colors. The fresco is one of the oldest and best preserved examples of Carolingian art in Europe.Saint John Abbey, Müstair – Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_John_Abbey,_M%C3%Bcstair Foto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_John_Abbey,_M%C3%BCstair#/media/File:Meister_von_M%C3%BCstair_002.jpgBibelsted: Markus 7:34Bakgrunn:Markus 7:34Bysantisk og karolinsk kunst:Carolingian art is a fascinating topic that reflects the cultural and political aspirations of the Frankish Empire under Charlemagne and his successors. Carolingian art is characterized by a revival of classical and Byzantine styles, as well as by innovations and adaptations to suit the needs and tastes of the Carolingian court and church. Here are some more facts about Carolingian art that you might find interesting:
Carolingian art was mainly produced in three types of media: manuscripts, metalwork, and architecture. Manuscripts were the most abundant and diverse form of Carolingian art, ranging from lavish gospel books and psalters to scientific treatises and legal documents. Metalwork included objects such as reliquaries, crosses, jewelry, and coins, often decorated with precious stones, enamel, and ivory. Architecture encompassed churches, monasteries, palaces, and fortifications, built with stone, brick, wood, and marble.
Carolingian art was influenced by various sources, such as Early Christian, Byzantine, Roman, Celtic, Germanic, and Islamic art. Charlemagne and his court were avid collectors of ancient and foreign artifacts, which they studied and copied. They also sent emissaries and artists to other regions, such as Rome, Ravenna, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Cordoba, to acquire knowledge and materials. They also welcomed artists from other cultures to work in their workshops or teach their skills.
Carolingian art was not uniform or centralized, but rather varied according to the different regions and centers of production. Some of the most important centers were Aachen (the imperial capital), Tours (the center of manuscript production), Metz (the center of metalwork), Corbie (the center of learning), Reims (the center of ecclesiastical reform), and Lorsch (the center of monastic reform). Each center had its own distinctive style and artistic traditions, reflecting the preferences and patronage of the local rulers and clergy.
Carolingian art was not only decorative or aesthetic, but also had political, religious, and educational functions. Carolingian art served to glorify the emperor and his dynasty, to assert their legitimacy and authority over their vast territories, to promote their religious policies and reforms, to enhance their devotion and piety, to preserve and transmit the classical heritage and Christian doctrine, to foster learning and scholarship, to instruct and entertain the elite and the masses, and to express their artistic creativity and individuality.
These are some of the possible reasons why Jesus told some people not to talk about his miracles. However, we also see that in some cases, Jesus did allow or even encourage people to tell others about what he had done for them. For example, in Mark 5:19-20, he told the man who had been possessed by a legion of demons to go home and tell his family and friends how much the Lord had done for him and how he had shown him mercy. In John 9:24-34, he defended the man who had been born blind from the Pharisees who questioned him about his healing and expelled him from the synagogue. In these cases, Jesus wanted to use the testimony of the healed people as a witness to his identity and authority as the Son of God and the Messiah24.In his homily during the Easter Vigil 2023 at the Vatican. Pope Francis talked about finding our Galilee, the place where we first met Jesus and where he wants to meet us again. He also talked about how Galilee is the place where we can rediscover the grace of our baptism, the joy of our faith, and the fire of our love. He invited us to go back to Galilee, to remember our first encounter with Jesus, and to renew our commitment to him. He said: “Dear brothers and sisters, let us follow Jesus to Galilee, encounter him, and worship him there, where he is waiting for each of us.”
