Markus 2:7

2:7 “Why does this man speak this way? He is blaspheming! ¹  Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Markus 5:5

5:5 Each night and every day among the tombs and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

Markus 15:35

15:35 When some of the bystanders heard it they said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah!” ² 

[2:7]  ¹ sn Blaspheming meant to say something that dishonored God. To claim divine prerogatives or claim to speak for God when one really does not would be such an act of offense. The remark raised directly the issue of the nature of Jesus’ ministry.

[15:35]  ² sn Perhaps the crowd thought Jesus was calling for Elijah because the exclamation “my God, my God” (i.e., in Aramaic, Eloi, Eloi) sounds like the name Elijah.
