In the Synoptic Gospels the Gospel of Luke contains the largest amount of material unique to itself, even though Luke mainly follows Matthew’s Gospel and occasionally Mark’s Gospel. Regarding the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and John the Baptist, Luke includes some accounts that are absent from the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, which gives particular importance to Luke’s account. In this second part of the study of Luke’s presentation of the relationship between the two candidates for the title of Messiah we present five accounts found in his Gospel (Lk 9:7-9 – Herod’s reaction to Jesus; Lk 9:18-21 - Peter’s confession; Lk 11:1-4 - Jesus’ prayer; Lk 16:14-17 – “until the time of John”; Lk 20:1-8 – the question about authority).

The relationship between Jesus and John, and their movements, is a topic present in all Gospels as well as in the Acts of the Apostles. The presentation of the topic in the Gospels concerns the period when both leaders were actively involved in their mission work, but the Acts reflects conditions several years after both leaders were no more involved in the activities, but their disciples were continuing the ways of their leaders. The main topic of this study concerns the account in Ac 19:1-7 regarding the conversion of John’s disciples in Ephesus by Paul the Apostol of Jesus the Resurrected Messiah. The conclusion is that Ac 19:1-7 presents in summary form the topic elaborated by all Synoptic Gospels, but with special reference given here to the author of Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.

Among the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of Luke contains the largest account of material unique to itself, even despite the fact that Luke mainly followed Matthew’s Gospel and occasionally Mark’s Gospel. Regarding the topic of the relation between Jesus of Nazareth and John the Baptist, Luke includes four accounts that are absent in both the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, which makes Luke’s account concerning the relationship to contribute to the narratives regarding the relationship found in the other Synoptic Gospels. In this first part of the study regarding Luke’s presentation of the relationship between the two candidates to the title of the Messiah, we will present the first five accounts founded in his Gospel, where the most interesting is the infant narrative (Lk 1-2) and the narrative regarding John’s doubts (Lk 7:18-35).

The study concerns the exposition of the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth in the Gospel of Mark. Both persons were involved in socio-religious movements that in different ways were headed for a common aim. The differences in the attitudes of both movements, and the Jewish society’s evaluation of these movements are subjects of analysis in this study. The results of the analysis expose the relations between these two movements and their leaders, which is the main aim of Mark’s exposition of this topic. Mark indicates in the last account regarding the relationship (Mk 11:27-33) that both John and Jesus’ authorities comes from God; however, there is a difference between these authorities as John only possesses the authority of a prophet, while Jesus possesses the authority of the Messiah.

This study is the first of five articles in preparation exploring the presentation of the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and John the Baptist in the New Testament. The fact that this theme is presented not only in the Synoptic Gospel but also in the Gospel of John, as well as in the Act of the Apostles, allows us to assume that this topic was of crucial importance to those who contributed to establishing the tradition of the Church and the canon of the Bible. In this study we investigate the presentation of the relationship between Jesus and John and their movements in the Gospel of Matthew. For Matthew, Jesus’ Messianic dignity is axiomatic. However, Matthew was aware that not all Jesus’ followers and especially the followers of John the Baptist shared his conviction. For this reason, his presentation of the relationship between Jesus and John leads towards the recognition that John was the prophet working to prepare the way for the promised Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. His account contains crucial information concerning John’s movement, and its subordination to the movement of Jesus.

本研究では、第三次宣教旅行で語られた演説、つまりミレトスでエフェソのキリスト教共同体の長老たちに向けてされた演説に着目する。この演説は、パウロがアジア州を去った後に共同体においてリーダーシップを取るべき人々に向けられた。この演説は多くの自叙伝的情報を含んでいるが、全ては、長老たちにパウロがしたのと同じ方法で義務を果たさせるために、聴衆にとっての教育的な模範として使われている。この演説はある特定の物語において機能を持つだけではなく、パウロの3回の宣教旅行に関する物語を通して「主題演説」のグループにおける結論的な演説でもあるので、全ての時代のキリスト教指導者に向けたパウロの規範的な教えとして扱うことができるだろう。

The study concerns presentation of Pilate, the fifth prefect of Judea as he is presented in the Gospel of John. Because John’s Gospel differs from the Synoptic Gospel, also the John’s perspective on Pilate, although in general terms agrees with account of other Evangelists, shows specific approach to presentation of Pilate. The double layer of the narrative (inside the praetorium and outside the praetorium) strongly suggest John’s double perspective on the prefect, which presents him in relation to Jesus and in relation to Jews.

The second part of the study concerns the witness given by Paul. His life as witness to Resurrected Messiah can be divided into three periods: his testimony shortly after his conversion; his witness during the period of mission activity; the time of his imprisonment. The importance of the circumstances for Paul’s witness to the Resurrected Messiah is the main purpose of this study.

The dominant classi cation of Acts as the history of the early Christian Church whose main aim is to present the spread of the nascent movement from a less important part of the Roman Empire (Judea) to the very heart of the Empire (Rome), seems to be supported by Acts 1:8 which is often taken as a kind of very general a table of contents. However, the rather unexpected end of Acts (a short and laconic account regarding Paul’s period in Rome), and Luke’s approach to and use of his sources, allow us to assume that Luke was aiming rather at a great story involving some main hearos and many other par- ticipants than are involved in just one thematic story. Following this assumption, based on the content of Acts, it is possible to individuate two main heroes (Peter and Paul) whose fate is somehow connected with many other persons that are also involved in giv- ing witness to Jesus the Resurrected Messiah. In this study we look at Acts as the story concerning the two the most important witnesses, Peter and Paul, in order to determine their contribution to establishing the structural and doctrinal foundation of the New Israel.

The first part of the study concerns Peter as the witness to Resurrected Messiah. Peter, as the head of the Twelve, is presented by Luke in three elements regarding the proclaiming of the kerygma. The first regards proclaiming the kerygma to inhabitants of Jerusalem, the second concerns the proclaiming the kerygma during the conflict with the Sanhedrin, and third shows his stand for the truth of the kerygma. The study focuses on Peter’s contribution to shaping the basis of Christian doctrine.

The study concerns a portrait of Pilate in the Matthew’s Gospel. Comparing to other Synoptic Gospels (Lk and Mk), Matthew pays much more attention to the person of Pilate. First, through the whole narrative of Jesus’ trial, Pilate is a protagonist, who shows at least neutral (Mt 27, 11-14) but mostly pro-Jesus attitude (Mt 27, 15-26). We will try to argue for reason of such presentation of Pilate, which is in sharp difference to that of other Gospels. We take position that the aim of Matthew’s presentation of Pilate is to free him for any responsibility for Jesus’ crucifixion.

This study continues a series of presentations of Pilate found in ancient writings, this time focusing on the portrait of Pilate, the fifth prefect of Judea, found in the Gospel of Mark. Mark’s particular reason and aim for writing the Gospel shapes his particular approach not only in matters concerning the structure and content of the writing but also in his presentation of the key agents involved in his narrative. Among them, though only marginally present, but no doubt a very important agent, given Mark’s presumed audience is Pilate, for whom Mark reserved a special role.

This study concerns Luke’s perspective on Pilate, the fifth prefect of Judea, as it is presented in Luke’s Gospel. Recording eight events involving the prefect, Luke shows his socio and theological understanding and the inter-operation of the event regarding Jesus’ death, which are directly related to Pilate. Luke’s account concerning Pilate does not lead to making a judgment about Pilate, but shows him rather as a mid-level official trapped between two worlds, trapped between a world where hostility and conflicts of interests could have fatal consequences, where common sense and the demands of justice and truth take second place. A place where the struggle to maintain one’s integrity makes demands almost too weighty for human fragility to bear.

This study of Pontius Pilate, fifth prefect of Judea province, who remained in office from 26 AD until 36 AD, focuses on the presentation found in the writings of two major Jewish historians; Philo and Josephus Flavius. The analysis considers all references regarding Pilate that are found in their writings. The analysis, first focuses on the texts and the information provided in them, and then on a critical interpretation of the information placed in the socio-political context of first century Roman Empire, as well as the socio-religious context in which the writing were created by the authors. This approach helps us to uncover the authors’ tendency in recording the events regarding Pilate.

The study concerns the use of the term “Christ” in the eulogy found in the Letter to the Ephesians (Eph 1, 3-14), with particular reference to the understanding of Eph 1, 11. Generally there is no doubt that the term refers to Jesus of Nazareth. However, in verse 11, although pronoun “in Him” that is equivalent of the term “Christ” is used in the same way, it is connected to another pronoun “we”, whose identification is not clear and the subject of diverse interpretations. In this study we argue for identifying the pronoun “we” with Jews, although the majority of scholars do not accept this. This interpretation directly influences the understanding of the pronoun “in Him”, which, although it still refers to Jesus of Nazareth, in this particular context (verse 11) should be taken in a more general sense as the Messiah, a concept that was created within the Jewish tradition and claimed by Christians to be personified in Jesus of Nazareth.

本論はロマ11, 1-36におけるパウロの教えに関するものである。この手紙の構成とそれぞれの部分の分析は、11章が新しいイスラエル（キリスト教徒）とイスラエル（イエスを拒否するユダヤ人）との関係を示す教えを含んでいることを表わしている。それはロマ11, 1-36を、キリスト教徒の共同体がクラウディウスの法令後に自分達を見出したという特別な状況の社会的、神学的な解釈を考えるという意味で、特に重要なものにしている。ロマ11, 1-36では、一部のイスラエル人がメシアとしてのイエスを拒絶しているが、それでも彼らは選ばれた民のままであると、パウロは論証している。彼らの一時的な失敗は神の救いの計画の一部と見られている。なぜなら、そのことが異邦人にイエスへの信仰を通して神との契約に入らせることを可能にしているからである。

The article considers history of Judea region, since the death of Herod the Great (4 BC) till the beginning of the Jewish-Roman War (66/67-70/73 AD) as it is presented by Josephus Flavius in his the Jewish War (JW 2.1-284) and the Jewish Antiquities (JA 17.191-20.268). Since Josephus exclusively concentrates on Judea, hardly mentions the two other parts of the Herod`s kingdom Galilee and Trachontis, following this approach we will present separately accounts concerning each of the regions, with special attention given to history of Judea. Although written by the same author, the two works of Josephus despite similarities in the contains, differ radically in their presentation, evaluation and purpose of writing, what forced us not to mix these two accounts but to present them separately in order to indicate how strong socio-historical circumstances can influence recording of historical events. The history of Judea region in period 4 BC-67AD can be divided into four parts, where the first (4 BC-6 AD) considers the time of the etnarchy under the rule of Archelaus, the second (6-41 AD) considers the time of the province under the rule of prefects, the third (41-44 AD) considers the time of the kingdom under the rule of Herod Agrippa I, and fourth (44-67 AD) considers the time of the province under the rule of procurators. Josephus writes short and extremely negative account concerning the first period (4 BC-6 AD). He elaborates the account concerning the second period (6-41 AD), where his criticism and negative evaluation of the prefects` rule were expressed by putting attention only to negative aspects. Josephus with unmasked proud and real delighting writes about the third period (41-44 AD) which concerns the reign of Herod Agrippa I, the descendent of the Herod Dynasty (grandfather) and the Hasmonean Dynasty (grandmother). Concerning the fourth period (44-67 AD), Josephus writes very strong criticism against not only the Roman prefects but also against the Jewish authorities including the high priests of the Temple, who are blamed for creating socio-political situation, which led to the war between Romans and Jews. This approach of Josephus has much common with his attempt to present Jewish nation as the “victim” of the native leaders and the Romans` administrators.

The study focuses on the second mission journey of Paul, as it is recorded by Luke in Acts 13, 1-18, 22. The schematic character of the account creates difficulties determining many details concerning the journey. The attempt of this study is to present more details concerning the mission journey. In order to achieve this aim examined the time span of Paul`s journey, so allowing us to place Luke`s narrative in its correct socio-historical background. The information concerning each of the cities that Paul was visited, helping us to understand the diversity of places, which created particular social environments that worked for or against the success or lack of success of the mission.

本研究は、ユダヤ人のキリスト教徒と異邦人のキリスト教徒から成る共同体に向けて書かれた、ローマの信徒への手紙の中で時折言及される、モーゼの律法と異邦人との関係に関するものである。どちらのグループも新しい現実を作り上げたが、いくつかの偏見が残っており、一つの共同体内における二つのグループ間の緊張をはらんでいる。その偏見の一つは、律法を持たない異邦人に関するもので、律法を持たない異邦人は神と契約を結んでいないとするものである。律法ではなくイエス・キリストへの信仰が救いの基本だということを説明するために、パウロは異邦人と律法との関係についていくつかの重要な言明をしている。まず、異邦人はモーゼの律法の対象ではないというものである。つまり彼らは律法によって裁かれることはない。彼らは人間の最も内面的な部分であり、判断の源である「本質的人間性」によって裁かれ、それは律法の知識によるものではないだろう。もし異邦人が正しく「本質的人間性」（nature）の営みに従っていれば、律法の知識の不足は彼らにとって不利益にはならない。この極めて思索的な言明によって、パウロはユダヤ人と異邦人が平等であるという基盤を作った。この基盤は救い主イエスに対する信仰心である。ユダヤ人は信仰によって許され、異邦人は信仰を通して許されるのである。

The pater concerns the life of Herod the Great since 18 B.C, the end of basic building works at the Jerusalem Temple until his death in 4 B.C. The accounts concerning this period of Herod`s life are included in the Wars of the Jews and the Antiquities of the Jews. The account of the Wars of the Jews concentrate exclusively only on troubles inside Herod`s family, namely on conflict between the brethren, the sons of Herod and Mariamne (Alexander and Aristobulus IV) and the son of Herod and Doris (Antipater II). In fact it is conflict between the last decadence of the Hasmonean Dynasty (the sons of Mariamne) and the heir of the Herodian Dynasty (the son of Doris). The account of the Antiquities of the Jews although also presents the conflict between brethren but it is only one of many topics, and the conflict is presented in different way and different context. In the Antiquities, Josephus focus on many topics among those the most important are: Herod`s straggle to control the family matters; the tied relation with Rome in order to secure the kingdom; the problems concerning Herod`s successor.

This is a study of the account of a dispute between Paul and Barnabas concerning John, also called Mark, which Luke gives in Ac 15, 36-40. This peculiar account, which seems to be in opposition to the idealistic picture of the first generation Christian life-style (Ac 2, 42-47; 4, 32-37), is analyzed in its socio-historical context in order to understand the reason, aim and function of the account in the narrative structure of Acts. The analysis of Ac 15, 36-40 leads us to conclude that Luke had a purpose in inserting the account here concerning the conflict between Paul and Barnabas in an instrumental manner. The function of the account is to indicate the point when Luke`s narration changes from a general approach (a history of the first-generation Christians) to a particular approach (a history of Paul’s mission activities).

本稿の主題は、パウロのアレオパゴスでの演説である（使徒17、22-31）。論文では、基本的な手法として、物語の分析を使用している。本稿の目的は、パウロの三つの宣教旅行に関するルカの物語の中におけるアレオパゴスでの演説の機能を確定することである。しかし、パウロの演説は第二宣教旅行の中の一つの物語であるので、この演説を分析するために必要な背景として、第二宣教旅行に主に焦点を当てる。ルカの物語の分析結果では、宣教旅行の物語の構造内にいくつかの類似点（それぞれの宣教旅行に関する物語に1つの演説が含まれる）があることを示している。それは次の想定を許す。筆者であるルカは、宣教旅行に関する三つの演説を別々の部分ではなく、筋の通った一つの物語として作成した。それぞれの演説は該当する宣教旅行の結論的な文章としてパウロの宣教旅行の一般的な主題や問題を示しているので、それぞれの演説には特定の機能がある。

The writings of the Flavius Josephus (Wars of the Jews; Antiquities of the Jews), are main sources of knowledge concerning the life of Herod the Great. In this paper we analyse the Josephus accounts (A.J.15.1-11; W.J.1.18-22) referring to the period of Herod`s life from the beginning of his reign (37 B.C.) until finishing the basic rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple (18 B.C.). For analysis, we divided the period it into two parts. The first part (37-30 B.C.) concerns Herod`s straggle to secure his reign on international and domestic level.

This paper gives attention to Rom 1, 18-32 which presents an argument that the Gentiles, although they are without the Law, are also subject to punishment according to the law. Usually this fragment is considered to be a statement of Paul’s own opinion on the subject. We argue that Rom 1, 18-32 does not present Paul’s opinion concerning the guilt of the Gentiles, but functions as a presentation of a stereotypical Jewish accusation against them.

Concerning the mission journey, which was an initiative of the church of Antioch (Ac 13, 2-3), it can be said with a high degree of probability that the primary goal was only Cyprus (Ac 13, 5-6). However, because of the conversion of Sergius Paulus (Ac 13, 12), whose family held property in Pisidian Antioch, the mission plan was extended. This was most probably the reason why Mark left the group (Ac 13, 13). The mission in the region of Pamphilia, to judge from its fruits, must be counted as a success even it came at the cost of great hardship, especially for Paul himself (Ac 14, 5. 19; 2 Tm 3, 11). During the mission Paul and Barnabas addressed the Gospel not only to Jews of the Diaspora (Ac 13, 5) by also to Gentiles (Ac 13, 46-49). In both cases, they had both successes in terms of conversions, and failures in the form of opposition from the Jewish side and misunderstanding on the side of the Gentiles. In many places Christian groups were established which within a few years became quite strong and active (Ac 13, 8-18). It is difficult to be certain about the length of time of the journey . Paul left nothing in writing concerning this mission period.

The article concerns a period of Saul’s life from his conversion at Damascus until the so-called first mission journey of Paul (A.D. 34-44). The period contains four events: life and activities at Damascus; the first visit to Jerusalem after his conversion; his stay in his hometown Tarsus; mission work at Antioch. The purpose of the paper is to stress importance of this period in the development of the personality of the future apostle of the Gentiles. The process took a considerably long time and it contained a wide range of events and experiences. After a presentation of the chronology of the period, attention is given to analysis of each of the events which mostly focus on the relation between Saul after his conversion and the groups of Jesus’ believers.

The general understanding in current scholarship concerning the purpose of the First Letter to Corinthians is that Paul wrote the letter in order to save the unity of the church at Corinth. This opinion is based on assumption that the church at Corinth was a united church from the time it was established by Paul. After apostle left the city and the community was left without its leader, diversity came to surface. In this study we attempt to show that the purpose of 1 Cor was to create a unity (understood as a harmony) among many household churches at Corinth. First, we argue that the church at Corinth was not one united church at the beginning, but many household churches which only occasionally met together. Next, we examine the text of 1 Cor 1, 10 where the topic of the Letter is presented, and show that Paul is asking for the establishment of a unity that did not yet exist; he is not attempting to protect an existing unity. After the analysis of the text we point out reasons for the diversity in Corinth, both on the socio-political level (1 Cor 1-4) and on the cultural-spiritual level (1 Cor 11-15), which in our opinion prove that these problems were obstacles to the creation of harmony and not a reason for the loss of an existing unity. Finally, Paul’s method of argumentation and persuasion is used as an indicator of the purpose of the letter. With a few exceptions, he avoids invoking authority. Instead he attempts to exhort the many household churches in Corinth towards forming a unity among them.

The custom of circumcision was much older than its function as the sign of the covenant between God and the chosen people. Until now there has been no satisfactory explanation of the roots and primary meaning of the custom.
For Jews circumcision became the sign of the covenant and, after the time of Abraham, the sign of belonging to the chosen nation. In the history of Israel and the history of salvation, circumcision served as a sign of national and religious identity.
Concerning Paul’s attitude toward the custom of circumcision the problem is often analyzed without the necessary distinction being made between the strictly Jewish context and the context of Jewish-gentile relations in a perspective of justification and salvation.
Concerning the strict Jewish contexts of Paul attitude toward the circumcision, it must be stressed that the apostle was himself a circumcised Jew and that he never opposed circumcision as the valued sign of the covenant unless there arose the problems of justification and salvation. In the context of justification, Paul states that circumcision, as the sign of the covenant is not relevant, because no one can fully observe the Law and hence of this everyone must be justified by faith as Abraham was.
Concerning the relation between Jew and gentiles in the perspective of justification and salvation Paul states that it is not circumcision of the body but circumcision of the heart, i.e., faith that matters most. Circumcised Jews as well as non-circumcised gentiles will be justified through faith. In this context circumcision is neither a help nor an obstacle. This is probably the reason why Paul so vigorously opposed some Jewish Christians who taught that circumcision was the necessary way for gentiles to become Christian.
Concerning the account of Paul (Gal) and the account of Luke (Ac), despite the obvious differences in form and purpose of both accounts, there is agreement concerning the problem of circumcision. Paul’s account concerning the problem of circumcision in Gal is placed in an apologetic context. The account of Gal is made by the man who stands directly in the battlefield. The account of Ac is a part of the narrative concerning Paul’s mission among gentiles. Luke places his account concerning the problem of circumcision just before the account of the second mission journey, which (apart from the beginning) was mostly a mission among gentiles. The primary purpose of the account is to attest Paul’s teaching concerning circumcision as the teaching accepted and acknowledged by those who became apostles earlier than Paul.

In this paper we present the way in which early Christianity challenged the system of slavery, not by legal regulations but by new teaching. The main teaching statement was simple and, at the same time, unthinkable to the citizens of the Roman Empire, i.e. “we all are brothers in Christ”. Paul’s Letter to Philemon shows the Christians’ attempts to overcome a socio-legal regulation concerning the slavery problem by personal relationship based on their faith in Christ. Paul, Philemon and Onesimus were Christians living in a non-Christian world, and in this context the problem of the slave Onesimus, which Paul tries to solve, can be taken as an example of the way that Christianity approached the problem of slavery among its believers. The Christian way of solving the problem of slavery in Phm is restricted only to the Christian group and is not representative of the relations between Christians and non-Christians. This means that the way in which Paul dealt with the problem should not be viewed as a direct challenge of the socio-legal regulation but rather as a call for another, non legislative way, to solve problems between Christians. The proposed way is built on the new relationship called “brothers in Christ”. The new Christian identity should be more important in relations between believers than social status and legal rights.

本論はロマ11, 1-36におけるパウロの教えに関するものである。この手紙の構成とそれぞれの部分の分析は、11章が新しいイスラエル（キリスト教徒）とイスラエル（イエスを拒否するユダヤ人）との関係を示す教えを含んでいることを表わしている。それはロマ11, 1-36を、キリスト教徒の共同体がクラウディウスの法令後に自分達を見出したという特別な状況の社会的、神学的な解釈を考えるという意味で、特に重要なものにしている。ロマ11, 1-36では、一部のイスラエル人がメシアとしてのイエスを拒絶しているが、それでも彼らは選ばれた民のままであると、パウロは論証している。彼らの一時的な失敗は神の救いの計画の一部と見られている。なぜなら、そのことが異邦人にイエスへの信仰を通して神との契約に入らせることを可能にしているからである。
