page 74 note 3 Although I would admit with Bultmann that Mark, ii. 5b–10Google Scholar is an insertion out of a wonder-tale background (cf. Geschichte, , pp. 12f.Google Scholar and New Testament Theology, I, trans. Grobel, Kendrick [New York: Scribner's Sons, 1951], p. 61Google Scholar), I would not contend that along with exorcism, which B. admits as a characteristic of Jesus’ ministry, the forgiveness of sins would have been associated with his ministry. Sickness, possession by demons and sin and guilt were too closely connected in the world view of Jesus’ era for it to have been otherwise. On the connexion between pneumatic gifts and healing, exorcism and forgiveness of sins, see Volz, Paul, Der Geist Gottes (Tübingen: J. C. B. Mohr, 1910), especially pp. 125ff., 135.Google Scholar
