κακία, ας, ἡ (s. κακός; Theognis, Pre-Socr.+)

① the quality or state of wickedness, baseness, depravity, wickedness, vice. κ. is the opposite of ἀρετή and all virtue and therefore lacking in social value (X., Mem. 1, 2, 28; Aristot., Rhet. 2, 6; EN 2, 3–7; Cicero, Tusc. 4, 15; Appian, Bell.

Hs 9, 29, 1; 3. μετανόησον ἀπὸ τ. κακίας σου ταύτης Ac 8:22 (Just., D. 109, 1). ὡς ἐπικάλυμμα ἔχοντες τ. κακίας τὴν ἐλευθερίαν use freedom as a cloak for wickedness 1 Pt 2:16 (cp. ἵνα μὴ εἰς ἐπικάλλυμα κακίας καταχρησώμεθα τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ Iren. 4, 37, 4 [Harv. II 288, 11]; s. ἐπικάλλυμα).

② a mean-spirited or vicious attitude or disposition, malice, ill-will, malignity (Diod S 1, 1; PRein 7, 15 [II B.C.]; POxy 1101, 7; Philo; Just., D. 65, 2 ἁπλῶς καὶ μὴ μετὰ κακίας εἰπών; 136, 2; Tat. 34, 1) w. other vices Ro 1:29; Eph 4:31; Col 3:8; Tit 3:3; 1 Pt 2:1; B 20:1; D 5:1. τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασεν κακίαν 1 Cl 35:8 (Ps 49:19). Cp. B 2:8 (Zech 8:17).

③ a state involving difficult circumstances, trouble, misfortune (Thu. 3, 58, 1 opp. ἡδονή; 1 Km 6:9; Eccl 7:14 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακίας; 12:1; Sir 19:6; Am 3:6; 1 Macc 7:23; Jos., Ant. 1, 97; Just., D. 142, 3) ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κ. αὐτῆς each day has enough trouble of its own Mt 6:34—GBaumbach, Das Verständnis des Bösen in den synopt.

Personennamen 1929; WvonSoden, Bibel u. Alter Orient: ZAW Beih. 162, 129–33; MGörg, BZ ’79, 285–89) Mary.

① the mother of Jesus. The foll. forms of the name are attested in the var. cases: Μαρία as nom. Lk 2:19, otherw. only occasionally as v.l. (D Lk 1:30, 39, 56; cp. vss. 34, 38, 46). Gen. Μαρίας Mt 1:16, 18; 2:11; Mk 6:3; Lk 1:41; IEph 7:2; 18:2; 19:1; ITr 9:1; AcPlCor 1:14; 2:5. Acc. Μαρίαν Mt 1:20 (v.l.-άμ); AcPl Ha 8, 26; Μ. τὴν Γαλιλαίαν AcPlCor 2:14.—Μαριάμ as nom. Mt 1:16 v.l.; 13:55; Lk 1:27, 34, 38f, 46, 56; 2:19 (v.l.-ρία); as acc. Mt 1:20 v.l.; Lk 2:16; GJs 6:3 (not Bodmer); as voc. Lk 1:30; σὺν Μαριάμ Lk 2:5; Ac 1:14; πρὸς Μαριάμ Lk 2:34. Little is known about the life of this Mary; in the infancy narratives Mt 1f; Lk 1f and esp. in the apocryphal gospels (29 times GJs; s. AFuchs, Konkordanz) she plays a great role; s. WBauer, D. Leben Jesu im Zeitalter d. ntl. Apokryphen 1909; HUsener, ZNW 4, 1903, 1ff. In Mk 3:31f and parallels, where she and the brothers and sisters of Jesus are prominently mentioned, no indication of any interest in his movement is given. But Ac 1:14 mentions Mary and his brothers (brothers and sisters? s. ἀδελφός 1) among the members of the early church. The mother of Jesus is also mentioned in the Fourth Gospel, though not by name.—RSeeberg, Die Herkunft der Mutter Jesu: Bonwetsch Festschr. 1918, 13ff; JBlinzler, Jes. u. s. Mutter nach dem Zeugn. der Evv.: Klerusblatt 23, ’42; 24, ’43; UHolzmeister, De anno mortis Deip. Virg.: Marianum 4, ’42, 167–82; FWillam, D. Leb. Marias³ ’42; HRäisänen, D.

TRE XXII 115–19. EDNT. II 386f.

② Mary Magdalene (s. Μαγδαληνή). Forms of her name: Μαρία Mt 27:56; 61 v.l.; 28:1 v.l.; Mk 15:40, 47; 16:1, 9 (Μαρίᾳ); Lk 8:2; 24:10; J 19:25; 20:1, 11, 16 v.l., 18 v.l. Μαριάμ Mt 27:56 v.l., 61; 28:1; Mk 15:40 v.l.; J 19:25 v.l.; 20:1 v.l., 11 v.l., 16 (voc.), 18; GPt 12:50. Acc. to the gospels this woman, one of Jesus’ most faithful followers, was cured by Jesus of possession by seven hostile spirits (Mk 16:9; Lk 8:2). She appears in the Passion Narrative w. women companions; also in the synoptic account of Easter morning. In J she is the only one mentioned at the grave, and sees the resurrected Lord (likew. in the long ending of Mk). Later ecclesiastical gossip identified her without warrant w. the sinful woman who anointed Jesus in the house of the Pharisee (Lk 7:37, 39). CLattey: Exp 7th ser., 8, 1909, 55–63; UHolzmeister, Die Magdalenenfrage in der kirchl. Überl.: ZKT 46, 1922, 402ff; JSickenberger, Ist die Magdalenenfrage wirklich unlösbar?

Simpson and Burkitt under 5 below.

③ the ‘other’ Mary, mother of James (s. Ἰάκωβος 3) and Joses (s. Ἰωσῆς 2). Form of the name Μαρία Mt 27:56, 61 (ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία; cp. PPetr III, 59); 28:1 (ἡ ἄλλ. Μ.—JMackay, The Other M.: ET 40, 1929, 319–21); Mk 15:40, 47; 16:1; Lk 24:10. She was one of the followers of Jesus present as a spectator at the events on Golgotha. Hence she could be identical with

④ Μαρία (v.l. Μαριάμ) ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ Μ., the wife of Clopas J 19:25.

⑤ Mary, acc. to Lk 10:39, 42 sister of Martha, acc. to J 11:1f, 19f, 28, 31f, 45; 12:3 also sister of Lazarus, resident in Bethany. Forms of the name: Μαρία Lk 10:39 v.l., 42 v.l.; J 11:2 v.l., 20 v.l., 32 v.l.; 12:3 v.l.; Μαρίας J 11:1; Μαρίαν J 11:19 v.l., 28 v.l., 31 v.l., 45 v.l. Μαριάμ Lk 10:39, 42; J 11:2, 20, 32; 12:3; as acc. J 11:19, 28, 31, 45.—ASimpson, M. of Bethany, M. of Magdala, and Anonyma: ET 20, 1909, 307–18; FBurkitt, M. Magd. and M., Sister of Martha: ET 42, ’31, 157–59.

⑥ the mother of John Mark, owner of a house in Jerusalem (οἰκία τῆς Μαρίας), who placed it at the disposal of Christians for meetings Ac 12:12.

⑦ an otherw. unknown Christian, probably of Jewish descent (yet Μαρία appears in CB I/2, 557f nos. 439 and 440 as the fem. form of the Roman name Marius), who is greeted Ro 16:6 (ἀσπάσασθε Μαρίαν; v.l. Μαριάμ [as early as P⁴⁶]), w. the additional note that she rendered outstanding service to the receivers of the letter.—EDNT. M-M.

μυστήριον, ου, τό ‘secret, secret rite, secret teaching, mystery’ a relig. t.t. (predom. pl.) applied in the Gr-Rom. world mostly to the mysteries w. their secret teachings, relig. and political in nature, concealed within many strange customs and ceremonies. The principal rites remain unknown because of a reluctance in antiquity to divulge them (Trag.+; Hdt. 2, 51, 2; Diod S 1, 29, 3; 3, 63, 2; Socrat., Ep. 27, 3; Cornutus 28 p. 56, 22; 57, 4; Alciphron 3, 26, 1; OGI 331, 54; 528, 13; 721, 2, SIG s. index; Sb 7567, 9 [III A.D.]; PGM 1, 131; 4, 719ff; 2477 τὰ ἱερὰ μ. ἀνθρώποις εἰς γνῶσιν; 5, 110; 12, 331; 13, 128 τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ θεοῦ. Only the perfected gnostic is τῶν μυστηρίων ἀκροατής Hippol., Ref. 5, 8, 29.—OKern, D. griech. Mysterien d. klass. Zeit 1927; WOtto, D. Sinn der eleusin. Myst. ’40; MNilsson, The Dionysiac Mysteries of the Hell. and Rom. Age, ’57; Kl. Pauly III 1533–42; WBurkert, Antike Mysterien ’90). Also LXX and other versions of the OT use the word, as well as En (of the heavenly secret) and numerous pseudepigr., Philo, Joseph. (C. Ap. 2, 189, 266), apolog. (exc. Ar.); it is a loanw. in rabb. Our lit. uses μ. in ref. to the transcendent activity of God and its impact on God’s people.

① the unmanifested or private counsel of God, (God’s) secret, the secret thoughts, plans, and dispensations of God (SJCh 78, 9; τὸ μ. τῆς μοναρχίας τῆς κατὰ τὸν θεόν Theoph. Ant. 2, 28 [p. 166, 17]) which are hidden fr. human reason, as well as fr. all other comprehension below the divine level, and await either fulfillment or revelation to those for whom they are intended (the divine Logos as διδάσκαλος θείων μυστηρίων Orig., C. Cels. 3, 62, 9: the constellations as δεῖγμα καὶ τύπον … μεγάλου μυστηρίου Hippol. Ant. 2, 15 [p. 138, 7]; Abraham is τῶν θείων … μέτοχος μυστηρίων Did., Gen. 213, 20).

ⓐ In the gospels μ. is found only in one context, where Jesus says to the disciples who have asked for an explanation of the parable(s) ὑμῖν τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τ. θεοῦ Mk 4:11; the synopt. parallels have the pl. Mt 13:11 (LCerfaux, NTS 2, ’55/56, 238–49); Lk 8:10.—WWrede, D. Messiasgeh. in den Evv. 1901; HEbeling, D. Messiasgeh. u. d. Botschaft des Mc-Evangelisten ’39; NJohansson, SvTK 16, ’40, 3–38; OPiper, Interpretation 1, ’47, 183–200; RArida, St Vladimar Theol. Qtly 38, ’94, 211–34 (patristic exegesis Mk 4:10–12 par.).

ⓑ The Pauline lit. has μ. in 21 places. A secret or mystery, too profound for human ingenuity, is God’s reason for the partial hardening of Israel’s heart Ro 11:25 or the transformation of the surviving Christians at the Parousia 1 Cor 15:51. Even Christ, who was understood by so few, is God’s secret or mystery Col 2:2, hidden ages ago 1:26 (cp. Herm. Wr. 1, 16 τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ κεκρυμμένον μυστήριον μέχρι τῆσδε τῆς ἡμέρας), but now gloriously revealed among the gentiles vs. 27, to whom the secret of Christ, i.e. his relevance for them, is proclaimed, 4:3 (CMitton, ET 60, ’48/49, 320f). Cp. Ro 16:25; 1 Cor 2:1 (cp. Just., D. 91, 1; 131, 2 al. μ. τοῦ σταυροῦ; 74, 3 τὸ σωτήριον τοῦτο μ., τοῦτʼ ἔστι τὸ πάθος τοῦ χριστοῦ). The pl. is used to denote Christian preaching by the apostles and teachers in the expr. οἰκονόμοι μυστηρίων θεοῦ 1 Cor 4:1 (Iambl., Vi. Pyth. 23, 104 calls the teachings of Pyth. θεῖα μυστήρια). Not all Christians are capable of understanding all the mysteries. The one who speaks in tongues πνεύματι λαλεῖ μυστήρια utters secret truths in the Spirit which the person alone shares w. God, and which others, even Christians, do not understand 1 Cor 14:2. Therefore the possession of all mysteries is a great joy 13:2 (Just., D. 44, 2). And the spirit-filled apostle can say of the highest stage of Christian knowledge, revealed only to the τέλειοι: λαλοῦμεν θεοῦ σοφίαν ἐν μυστηρίῳ we impart the wisdom of God in the form of a mystery (ἐν μυστηρίῳ=in a mysterious manner [Laud. Therap. 11] or =secretly, so that no unauthorized person would learn of it [cp. Cyr. of Scyth. p. 90, 14 ἐν μυστηρίῳ λέγει]) 2:7 (AKlöpper, ZWT 47, 1905, 525–45).—Eph, for which (as well as for Col) μ. is a predominant concept, sees the μ. τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ (sc. θεοῦ) 1:9 or μ. τ. Χριστοῦ 3:4 or μ. τ. εὐαγγελίου 6:19 in acceptance of the gentiles as Christians 3:3ff, 9ff. A unique great mystery is revealed 5:32, where the relation betw. Christ and the Christian community or church is spoken of on the basis of Gen 2:24 (cp. the interpretation of the sun as symbol of God, Theoph. Ant. 2, 15 [p. 138, 8], and s. WKnox, St. Paul and the Church of the Gentiles, ’39, 183f; 227f; WBieder, TZ 11, ’55, 329–43).

ⓒ In Rv μ. is used in ref. to the mysterious things portrayed there. The whole content of the book appears as τὸ μ. τοῦ θεοῦ 10:7. Also τὸ μ. τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀστέρων 1:20; τὸ μ. τῆς γυναικός 17:7, cp. vs. 5, where in each case μ. may mean allegorical significance (so BEaston, Pastoral Epistles ’47, 215).

② that which transcends normal understanding, transcendent/ultimate reality, secret, with focus on Israelite/Christian experience.

ⓐ 1 Ti uses μ. as a formula: τὸ μ. τῆς πίστεως is simply faith 3:9. τὸ τ. εὐσεβείας μ. the secret of (our) piety vs. 16.—τὸ μ. τῆς ἀνομίας 2 Th 2:7 s. ἀνομία 1 (Jos., Bell. 1, 470 calls the life of Antipater κακίας μυστήριον because of his baseness practiced in secret. Cp. also SibOr 8, 58 τὰ πλάνης μυστήρια; 56).—PFurfey, CBQ 8, ’46, 179–91.

ⓑ in Ign.: the death and resurrection of Jesus as μ. IMg 9:1 (τὸ περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως μ. Orig., C. Cels. 1, 7, 9). The virginity of Mary, her childbearing, and the Lord’s death are called τρία μ. κραυγῆς three mysteries (to be) loudly proclaimed IEph 19:1 (they are mysteries because they go so contrary to human expectation). So also of the annunciation to Mary and her conception GJs 12:2f. The deacons are οἱ διάκονοι μυστηρίων Ἰ. Χρ. ITr 2:3.

ⓒ Quite difficult is the saying about the tried and true prophet ποιῶν εἰς μυστήριον κοσμικὸν ἐκκλησίας who acts in accord with the earthly mystery of (God’s) assembly D 11:11. This may refer to celibacy; the prophet lives in such a way as to correspond to the relation betw. Christ and the people of God; cp. Eph 5:32 (so Harnack, TU II 1; 2, 1884, 44ff; HWeinel, Die Wirkungen d. Geistes u. der Geister 1899, 131–38; PDrews, Hdb. z. d. ntl. Apokryphen 1904, 274ff; RKnopf, Hdb. ad loc.—Differently CTaylor, The Teaching of the Twelve Apost. 1886, 82–92; RHarris, The Teaching of the Ap. 1887; FFunk, Patr. Apostol.² 1901 ad loc.; Zahn, Forschungen III 1884, 301).

ⓓ μ. occurs oft. in Dg: τὸ τῆς θεοσεβείας μ. the secret of (our) piety 4:6 (what Dg means by μ. is detailed in ch. 5). Likew. of Christian teaching (cp. Ps.-Phocyl. 229 and comments by Horst 260–61) πατρὸς μυστήρια 11:2; cp. vs. 5. Hence the Christian can μυστήρια θεοῦ λαλεῖν 10:7. In contrast to ἀνθρώπινα μ. 7:1. οὗ (sc. τ. θεοῦ) τὰ μυστήρια whose secret counsels 7:2 (the divine will for orderly management of the universe). Of God keeping personal counsel κατεῖχεν ἐν μυστηρίῳ … τὴν σοφὴν αὐτοῦ βουλήν 8:10.—Lghtf., St. Paul’s Ep. to the Col. and Phlm. p. 167ff; JRobinson, St. Paul’s Ep. to the Eph. 1904, 234ff; GWobbermin, Religionsgesch.

παραβολή, ῆς, ἡ (παραβάλλω; Pla., Isocr.+; ins, pap, LXX; En; TestSol 20:4; Just.; Mel., P.—JWackernagel, Parabola: IndogF 31, 1912/13, 262–67)

① someth. that serves as a model or example pointing beyond itself for later realization, type, figure παραβολὴ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τὸν ἐνεστηκότα a symbol (pointing) to the present age Hb 9:9. ἐν παραβολῇ as a type (of the violent death and of the resurrection of Christ) 11:19. λέγει ὁ προφήτης παραβολὴν κυρίου B 6:10, where the mng. may be the prophet is uttering a parable of the Lord (Goodsp.), or the prophet speaks of the Lord in figurative language (Kleist), or the prophet speaks in figurative language given him by the Lord. W. αἴνιγμα PtK 4 p. 15, 31. The things of the present or future cannot be understood by the ordinary Christian διὰ τὸ ἐν παραβολαῖς κεῖσθαι because they are expressed in figures B 17:2.

② a narrative or saying of varying length, designed to illustrate a truth especially through comparison or simile, comparison, illustration, parable, proverb, maxim.

ⓐ in the synoptics the word refers to a variety of illustrative formulations in the teaching of Jesus (in Mt 17 times, in Mk 13 times, in Lk 18 times; cp. Euclides [400 B.C.] who, acc. to Diog. L. 2, 107, rejected ὁ διὰ παραβολῆς λόγος; Aristot., Rhet. 2, 20, 2ff; Περὶ ὕψους 37; Vi. Aesopi II p. 307, 15 Eb.; Biogr. p. 87 Ὁμήρου παραβολαί; Philo, Conf. Lingu. 99; Jos., Ant. 8, 44. The Gk.

ⓑ Apart fr. the Syn. gospels, παρ. is found in our lit. freq. in Hermas (as heading: Hs 1:1; 2:1; 3:1; 4:1; 5:1; [6:1; 7:1; 8:1]) but not independently of the synoptic tradition. Hermas uses παρ. only once to designate a real illustrative (double) parable, in m 11:18. Elsewh παρ. is for Hermas an enigmatic presentation that is somet. seen in a vision, somet. expressed in words, but in any case is in need of detailed interpretation: w. gen. of content (s. a above) τοῦ πύργου about the tower Hv 3, 3, 2. τοῦ ἀγροῦ about the field Hs 5, 4, 1. τῶν ὀρέων 9, 29, 4. δηλοῦν τὴν παραβολήν 5, 4, 1a. παρ. ἐστιν ταῦτα 5, 4, 1b. ἀκούειν τὴν παραβολήν v 3, 3, 2; 3, 12, 1; Hs 5, 2, 1. παραβολὰς λαλεῖν τινι 5, 4, 2a. τὰ ῥήματα τὰ λεγόμενα διὰ παραβολῶν 5, 4, 3b; γράφειν τὰς παρ. v 5:5f; Hs 9, 1, 1; συνιέναι τὰς παρ. m 10, 1, 3. γινώσκειν Hs 5, 3, 1a; 9, 5, 5. νοεῖν m 10, 1, 4; Hs 5, 3, 1b. ἐπιλύειν τινὶ παρ. 5, 3, 1c; 5, 4, 2b; 3a. συντελεῖν 9, 29, 4. ἡ ἐπίλυσις τῆς παρ. explanation, interpretation of the parable 5, 6, 8; αἱ ἐπιλύσεις τῶν παρ. 5, 5, 1. ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς δούλου τρόπον κεῖται ἐν τῇ παρ. the Son of God appears in the parable as a slave 5, 5, 5. ἡ παρ. εἰς τοὺς δούλους τοῦ θεοῦ κεῖται the par. refers to the slaves of God 2:4.—S. also the headings to the various parts of the third division of Hermas (the Parables) and on Hermas gener. s.
