A Markan sandwich is a style whereby one account is inserted into the middle of another account, similar to food between two slices of bread in a sandwich.
The Gospel of Mark uses this literary structure, which is also called an interpolation or intercalation.
An alternative explanation of this is that Mark provided a chronological daily log, and the interpolations were merely due to intervening events interrupting a narrative just as breaking news can interrupt a live broadcast today.
Examples
- Mark 5:21-24: Jairus asks Jesus to save his daughter
- Mark 5:25-34: A woman in a crowd touches Jesus to cure her hemorrhage
- Mark 5:35-43: Jesus raises Jairus’s daughter from the dead
