| Summary: | This paper analyses Matthew 8:18-23 using a narratological approach. Focusing on a number of narrative 'gaps' in the narrative and the resulting creation of narrative suspense, the paper considers the effect of this suspense on the reader. It is argued that Matthew 8:18-23 does not so much present two pictures of 'good' and 'bad' discipleship, but rather invites the reader to ponder the question of discipleship in the sense of following Jesus in a radical way. Cet article analyse Matthieu 8,18-23 en utilisant une approche narratologique. En mettant l’accent sur un certain nombre d’ellipses narratives ('gaps') dans le récit et sur la création de suspense narratif qui en découle, l’article étudie l’effet de ce suspense sur le lecteur. Il est montré que Matthieu 8,18-23 ne présente pas deux images du «bon» et du «mauvais» disciple, mais invite plutôt le lecteur à réfléchir à la question du disciple dans le sens de la suite de Jésus d’une manière radicale. |
