| Summary: | Front Matter -- Introduction -- Jewish Reactions against Violators of the Torah in Philo and John -- The Official Jewish and Roman Proceedings against Jesus in the Light of Greco-Roman Protocols -- The Debate about Valid Testimony in John 5:31–40; 8:12–20 and Philo, Legum Allegoria 3:205–208 -- The Reversal of the Accusations of Blasphemy: John 5:1–18 and 10:31–39 in a Jewish Context -- The Divine Lawsuit Motif in John in the Light of Philo’s Treatise De Iosepho -- The Theme of Jesus’ Kingship in Negotiation with Jewish Hopes and the Roman Empire -- Final Summary -- Bibliography -- Indexes. The study sheds fresh light on aspects of the lawsuit motif in John from the background of Diaspora-Jewish and Greco-Roman data and perspectives. – John’s narrative of the attempts on Jesus for such crimes as breaking the Sabbath, blasphemy, and seduction are illuminated from Philo’s perspectives on vigilante execution. – Furthermore, John’s narrative of the official Jewish and Roman forensic procedures against Jesus can also be situated within the framework of the Greco-Roman administration exemplified by the legal papyri from the Roman Egypt. – Philo’s expectation of an eschatological emperor, who shall rule over many nations, provides a cultural context for the way John’s gospel re-inscribed Jesus as the true “Emperor” of all the nations |
