Description
Summary:The source of John 19:31-42 is a factual account of the burial of Jesus by unnamed disciples after the Roman soldiers had removed his dead body from the cross. This report gave rise to a number of questions. Thus subsequent editors inserted material (a) stressing the reality of the death of Jesus, (b) typing him as the Paschal Lamb, (c) identifying the disciples who buried him, and (d) insisting that he had received honourable burial.\n4207 La source de Jn 19, 31-42 est un récit factuel de l’ensevelissement de Jésus, par des disciples anonymes, après que les soldats romains eurent descendu son corps de la croix. Cette description a soulevé bien des questions. Aussi, divers rédacteurs ont-ils inséré des éléments (1) qui accentuent le réalisme de la mort de Jésus, (2) qui le présentent comme l’Agneau pascal, (3) qui identifient les disciples l’ensevelissant, et (4) qui insistent sur une mise au tombeau honorable.\n4207 \n4207
