Q
BY PHILOLOGICAL
METHOD THE HEIGHTENING
OF TENSIONS BY THE EUANGELISTS,
IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND
THE EXISTENCE OF A GENUINE HOSTILITY TOWARD JESUS
FROM THE "scribes and Pharisees" - allegedly a contributory cause of his cruel death.
Obviously, there were some petty minds among the Pharisees - such people are found in all societies -
who were suspicious of thus socalled "wonder-worker" and his followers? These would gladly have caught him
in some forbidden action so that they could drag him before the rabbinic court! Yet, Jesus always succeeded in
stating his opinion without giving them the slightest excuse for prosecuting him?! Those who have studied the scribes
of those days are well aware that their leaders were not without faults. At the same time, they know also that they were
far from being petty-minded. If Jesus would have lived in the stormy days of the last Maccabean kings, it would certainly
have been possible for him to have been persecuted by the Pharisees, because he was the leader of a messianic movement.
When the Pharisees came to power under Queen Salome Alexandra, by no means did they spare their Sadducean opponents.
The Dead Sea Scrolls tell us that they also unleashed systematic persecution against the Essenes. But all that belonged to a past
of which the Pharisees were ashamed? Jesus had something fine to say on this topic! "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, saying, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers,
we would have taken part with them in shedding the blood of prophets" {Matt. 23:29-31}! There thus will always be different people
who worship dictators, rebels, terrorists, traditions, modern fashions, evil criminals & lazy followers of any 'new invention' or old
habit? Twee millennia na de caesars, koningen, generaals & rebellen hier, daar, ergens van toen & sindsdien zie je 'ze' nu wéér
tevoorschijn komen uit de gekste hoeken & gaten als Geertje, Thierry, DJ TRUMP, VLAD PUTIN & Erdogan of zieke malle Oen.
