“…Instead, she notes that the term can legitimately be translated ‘knife’—as we can see, for example, when μάχαιρα is used in the LXX to translate the Hebrew term מַאֲכֶלֶת in Gen. 22.6 and 10, the knife that Abraham was prepared to use to sacrifice Isaac (and may also have used to cut the wood that he placed him upon; Gen. 22.3). Given that it was Passover, Fredriksen believes that it was unsurprising that the disciples possessed such things (Fredriksen 2015: 323). 74…”

Putting the Apocalyptic Jesus to the Sword: Why Were Jesus’s Disciples Armed?

The claim that the historical Jesus was a violent revolutionary has seen a revival in recent years with the work of Dale Martin and Fernando Bermejo-Rubio. Central to their case is the datum that Jesus’s disciples were armed at the time of his arrest in anticipation of their active participation in an end-time battle. However, whilst it can be established that it is likely that the disciples did carry bladed implements that could be used as weapons, when the literary and material-cultural evidence is scrutinised more closely, it is unreasonable to infer that these were intended to be used for apocalyptic ends or that the disciples or anyone else would see them as evidence of military intent.

“…Demikian juga menurut Fredriksen, yang menyebut legiun Romawi yang menjadi aktor utama kehancuran Bait Suci berdasarkan tafsiran Lukas 19:43 dan 21:20. 45 Dalam Injil Yohanes juga secara eksplisit menghubungkan kedua peristiwa itu, kehancuran Bait Suci menjadi semacam ramalan sengsara (Yoh. 2:19) dan secara spesifik menyebut Roma sebagai agen perusak (Yoh.…”

Ajaran dan praktik non-kekerasan pada umumnya menjadi ciri seorang pengikut Yesus. Dimulai dari Fransiskus dari Asisi hingga John Howard Yoder mengajarkan bahwa seorang Kristen seharusnya memraktekkan kehidupan non-kekerasan. Namun, artikel ini mencoba melihat sisi lain dari pelayanan Yesus, secara khusus dari teks yang mengisahkan mengenai perintah Yesus kepada para murid untuk membawa senjata dan ketika yesus menubuatkan mengenai kehancuran Bait Allah. Melalui metode penelitian studi pustaka, penulis menemukan bahwa ada indikasi bahwa Yesus berencana melakukan tindakan kekerasan. Melalui hasil tersebut, penggambaran Yesus yang menghidupi ajaran non-kekerasan menjadi terbuka untuk didiskusikan.

“…With that view in mind, Rome could have interpreted Jesus' "movement" as politically dangerous. 76 During the first century BCE, the Romans employed crucifixion not so much towards Roman citizens, but towards foreign slaves convicted of crimes, political captives, rebels or fugitives. 77 Although Jesus claimed that he did not come to obliterate the OT laws and the prophets, but to fulfil them (Matt.5:17) which is also demonstrated by his encouragement towards the payment of tax , there are numerous places in the NT where Jesus actually disagreed with the teachings of the Law.…”

Various laws were practised in ancient Israel. Although the present study will introduce briefly the concept of law as practised in Ancient Near East (ANE) in general, the project focuses particularly on ancient Israel as depicted by the Old Testament (OT) law traditions. The study seeks to investigate two main issues, namely: (1) formulation and implementation of the laws in ancient Israel, and (2) the application of the OT laws during the New Testament (NT) era and in Christendom. An attempt is made to respond to the following three research questions:(1) how were the OT laws formulated and implemented? (2) Were the OT laws the same as those practised by pagan nations or kings? ( 3) what is the NT/Christian view of the OT laws? In its entirety, the discourse will utilise two approaches, namely: (1) narrative inquiry, and (2) desk research.
