The Missing Pillow : Mark 4:35-41 cum parallelis
(2009) 64th General Meeting of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas : SNTS 2009- Abstract
- Several details in Mark´s narrative of Jesus stilling the storm have disappeared when we turn to Matthew´s and Luke´s telling of the same story.
1.The pillow in the stern on which Jesus rested his head when he fell asleep has been omitted

(colourful at least to our modern eyes) from their narratives and what can be
deduced from the fact that Mark “remembered” them. (Less)
