This chapter places Paul in the larger sociohistorical context of the early Christian movements, particularly the first generation of Christians. Some early Christians did not leave Paul unquestioned. They challenged him and his teaching. They disagreed with him and talked back to him. Luke challenged him. The longer ending of Mark pushed back against him. Luke grounds his objection against Paul in a pneumatological basis, while the longer ending of Mark has a Christological basis. Luke imagines the work of the Spirit as being to give the disciples the ability to speak in different languages. The longer ending of Mark places the promise of multilinguality in the mouth of Jesus. |
