Jezus „zdjęty litością” czy „ogarnięty gniewem”? Analiza Mk 1,41 w świetle argumentów z krytyki tekstu
Was Jesus Moved by Compassion or Overwhelmed with Anger? An Analysis of Mark 1:41 according to the Arguments of Textual Criticism

Summary/Abstract: The pericope in Mark 1:40-45 portrays the healing of the leper. A majority of manuscripts of the Gospel use the participle σπλαγχνισθείς in Mark 1,41 to describe Jesus as “moved by compassion”. Nevertheless, there are other versions of the text, including Codex Bezae, which contain a different reading of this participle, namely as ὀργισθείς, which would characterize Jesus as overwhelmed with anger. Faced with this glaring discrepancy, one needs to decide which version is more appropriate from the point of view of textual criticism. This article discusses both possibilities and attempts to provide the most fitting solution. External criticism of this text (based on the assumption that no scribal error occurred), especially arguments stemming from its internal analysis, bring us to the conclusion that the reading ὀργισθείς characterizing Jesus as overwhelmed with anger, is most credible.
