A Páscoa de Jesus, partogénese da nova humanidadeestudo exegético e teológico de Jo 16, 16-33

Abstract

In the Four Gospel, Jesus’Easter is interpreted not only in chapter 20, but also in the two preceding farewell discourses. Whereas John 14,18-26 describes the Christological relevance of the Easter experience for all christians, Jo 16,16-33 emphasizes its soteriological and ecclesiological significance for the disciple’s life in the world. The existence of the christian’s disciple is presented as a movement from the world’s sadness to the escatological joy. This transformation is illustrated by the paroimia of the woman in labor (16,21): she goes through the pain in order at the joy of birth to a new human being. The same applies for the Easter event: the sadness about Christ’s death and absence is transformed by the Easter certitude: the crucified is living. Disciples’sadness arises out of joy and peace, giving rise a new humanity (re)created by the Spirit. In this sense, I consider very important keywords in our text: the Hour, the labor/birth, the tribulation, the sadness (anguish), the joy, the new humankind and the Jesus’s peace. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/32219
