Q

In what are two ways is Mark 15:39, when the centurion declares, “Truly this man is the son of God,” ironic?

A
  1. The centurion is the first to recognize Jesus is Son of God, and he’s not even Jewish
  2. Jesus appears defeated at this point. Why does the centurion see that Jesus was obviously the Son of Man after he is dead?
