[A] The Liberator ('Jesus') is imprisoned in the house of Joseph Caiaphas, the high priest appointed by the Romans, a collaborator in the eyes of the Orthodox Jews
[B] The later, 'Christian', interpretation explains the incognito of Simeon, the 'Kefas' ('Rock'/'Petrus') as a denial, to blacken the group of followers of the Liberator ('Jesus') in Jerusalem (and to exonerate the Romans of the execution)

The movement of Jewish rebels at the end of the 20s of the CE is called the Way (to the establishment of God's royal rule, as under Joshua)
Mark 1:2 was inserted later and refers to Exodus 23:20 and Malachi 3:1, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy Way before thee"
Mark 1:3 refers to Isaiah 40:3, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the Way of the Lord, make his paths straight"
Acts 24:22 "And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that Way, he deferred them"
