Scholars offer various scriptural precedents for how the Son of Man’s suffering is “written” according to Mark 9:12. This article proposes that Jesus’ suffering is written in heaven, and that it appears, ultimately, as the “King of the Jews” inscription (15:26). The use of γέγραπται in 9:12 does not preclude future application, so that Mark’s grammar allows for past writing to remerge during the Passion. The language that appears alongside the “King of the Jews” inscription in Mk 15:26–29 recalls earlier Markan references to Scripture, which imbues the title with authority on par with, but independent from, Israel’s Scriptures. Mark’s use of “King of the Jews” evokes Jesus’ prediction of maltreatment insofar as the phrase’s contexts either echo Mk 9:11–13 or draw on the Septuagint’s descriptions of suffering Judean kings. Thus, Mark’s inscription witnesses to the suffering written in heaven, and also explains why the Son of Man must suffer as King of the Jews.

学者们提供了各种圣经先例，说明人子的苦难是如何根据马可福音 9:12 “写成”的。这篇文章提出耶稣的苦难是写在天上的，它最终以“犹太人的王”铭文的形式出现（15:26）。指某东西的用途γέγραπται9:12 不排除将来的应用，因此马可的语法允许过去的写作在受难期间重新出现。与马可福音 15:26-29 中“犹太人的王”铭文一起出现的语言让人想起马尔康早期对《圣经》的引用，这使该标题具有与以色列《圣经》同等但独立于《圣经》的权威。马可对“犹太人之王”的使用唤起了耶稣对虐待的预测，因为该短语的上下文要么与可 9:11-13 相呼应，要么借鉴了七十士译本对受苦的犹太国王的描述。因此，马可的铭文见证了写在天上的苦难，也解释了为什么人子必须作为犹太人的王受苦。
