%X Sa£¿etak The Bible is the foundation of culture and literature. Even though it seems somewhat neglected today, it still emanates and shines with inspirational words and continues to be a model for literary movements. The Gospel is a literary genre in itself, and its author uses stylistic devices, such as the metaphor. The role of the evangelists as authors is also important. Using the historical-critical method, the passage Mk 2: 18-20 reveals the exceptional nature of the metaphor fianc¨¦, fianc¨¦e, and wedding (i.e. wedding guests). The three metaphors make up a logical unit. With the help of that stylistic device, the reader can accept Jesus' teaching in which he conceals his identity. A polemic is just an expression or a reason for using a metaphor, which is a common expression in Jewish teachings. The metaphor that is used also becomes a ¡°bridge¡± connecting the past with the present and thereby complements the limitations of the historical-critical method. Jesus not only spoke the investigated lines in the literal sense. They also contain a hidden spiritual meaning that indicates Christ¡¯s mission of salvation
