34 | Christian Wessely www.jrfm.eu 2017, 3/1, 17–44 Fig. 13: Norbert Scholl, Unruhe in der Provinz [Unrest in the provinces], 37: the significant verses in Mark 10:17–22 are reduced to a few (horribly bad) pictures with the message distorted: Jesus’ call for his followers to sell their possessions is launched in Mark with the words “One thing thou lackest”, as a condition for “perfection” (even more evident in the parallel Matthew 19:21: “If thou wilt be perfect”), which is not what the questioner has asked for. The concept is omitted from the comic, giving the pericope a very different meaning.
