然而，这是这些文本中反复出现的唯一要素。第二个因素，证人误解耶稣的言行（这往往是明确的“失败”的门徒），也不利于任何高举耶稣通过传播他的名声。这项研究包括对耶稣的头衔的含义或对预测事件的性质和时间的模糊性，作为误解因素的一部分。耶稣的话语或行为的接受者的恐惧是降低提升的第三个因素。最后，O 'Floinn认为，减少事件目击者的数量是用来压制宣传的第四个因素。第四个要素的主要例子是耶稣在某些场合只带彼得、雅各和约翰。这四个要素并非都出现在每一个文本中。当一个文本有这些元素之一时，它意味着文本包含了一个包容的主题。因此，作者发现，每一个包含预言、自然奇迹或人子之言的文本都包含至少一个，但通常是两个或三个遏制要素。第六章探讨了六个例子，耶稣的命令，不叙述奇迹的活动（第一个和最基本的遏制因素）是无视那些愈合。对这些文本的观察是，它们是与遏制主题相反的趋势，试图使这些故事与遏制主题相协调可能是不可取的。O 'Floinn争辩说，有运动在福音都隐藏和揭示。这项研究认为，有必要重新思考传统的分析的门徒作为字符在马可福音。根据O 'Floinn的文字证据表明，马可对将门徒描述为失败者或需要在信仰中成长的人不感兴趣。包容的主题是关于耶稣的特征;所以门徒所表现出的误解和恐惧并不是关于他们作为历史人物，甚至是代表人物。马可所采用的主题表明耶稣是一个在荣誉和耻辱领域中反文化的人，他谦卑顺服天父，拒绝与他的力量一起的正常欢呼和荣誉。作者称耶稣的特征是自相矛盾的，因为马可福音包含了太多关于耶稣奇迹般的行为、预言和提到自己是人子的描述，然而这些都被构成遏制的因素所抵消-误解、恐惧、命令不要说话和有限的证人数量。这本书是一个坚实的一块奖学金，每一个学生的福音马可将发现有助于重新思考“弥赛亚的秘密”，表征的弟子，和描绘耶稣。
however, the only element that recurs in these texts. The second element, witnesses misunderstanding Jesus’ words and deeds (this is often the explicit ‘failure’ of the disciples), also militates against any exaltation of Jesus through spreading his fame. The study includes ambiguity about the meaning of a title for Jesus or about the nature and timing of a predicted event as part of the element of misunderstanding. Fear on the part of the recipients of the words or deeds of Jesus is a third element in diminishing exaltation. Finally, O’Floinn argues that reducing the number of witnesses to the events is the fourth element used to suppress publicity. The main example of this fourth element is Jesus taking only Peter, James, and John with him on certain occasions. These four elements do not all occur in each text. When a text has even one of these elements it means that the text contains a motif of containment. Thus the author finds that every text containing a prediction, nature miracle, or son of man saying contains at least one, but often two or three, elements of containment. Chapter six examines six instances where Jesus’ command not to recount miraculous activity (the first and most basic element of containment) is disregarded by those healed. The observation made about these texts is that they are an opposite trend to the motif of containment and that it is probably not advisable to try to harmonize these stories with the motif of containment. O’Floinn contends that there are movements in the Gospel both to conceal and to reveal. The study argues that there is a need to rethink the traditional analysis of the disciples as characters in the Gospel of Mark. According to O’Floinn the textual evidence indicates that Mark is not interested in characterizing the disciples as failures or as ones who need to grow in faith. The motif of containment is about characterizing Jesus; so the misunderstanding and fear exhibited by the disciples is not about them as historical persons or even as representative characters. The motif as employed by Mark shows Jesus as one who is counter-cultural in the realm of honor and shame, who is humble and obedient to the Father, and who rejects the normal acclaim and honor that come with his powers. The author calls the characterization of Jesus paradoxical because Mark contains so many portrayals of Jesus’ miraculous deeds, predictions, and references to himself as son of man, and yet these are counterbalanced by the elements that constitute containment—misunderstanding, fear, commands not to speak, and a restricted number of witnesses. The book is a solid piece of scholarship that every student of the Gospel of Mark will find helpful in rethinking the ‘messianic secret,’ the characterization of the disciples, and the portrayal of Jesus.
