Cure of the Criple at Bet-Hesed (Jn 5, 1—9)

Sažetak
Tree main strains of the modern egzegese deny the historical character of the recite of Jn 5, 1—9. The first affirms that the healing of paralytic of Bet-Hesed is identical to the healing of the paralytic of Kefar-Nahum (Mk 2, 3 —12 and par.). The author of Jn has altered it only. The second sees only a symbol of the final .spiritual healing of Israel after his spiritual symbolic therty eight years wandering in the era of NT. The author of Jn would have created a merely symbolic substratum. The third affirms that the recite is a illustrative narrative in order to introduce the sabbatical dispute and the revelatory discourse.
The author of the article analyses the recite contently and philologicaly also in part. On the ground of the analysis he argues for the impossibility of identity of Johannine and synoptic recite. The Johannine recite differs substantialy from the synoptic. Even if the recites were more similar, we could speak of two different healings on the ground of Mt 8, 17 and Lk 5, 15: Jesus has heald many paralytics.
The analysis shows also that the author of Jn purses not a symbolic aim but a really historical purpose. In the background of his recite we can percieve the historical sources he has used. He spoke in his preached gospel on the first christian assemblies how he saw and heard Jesus when he heald the paralytic. The other disciples and many of those people who were present at the healing and became christians confirmed his preaching. The strongest confirmation of his preaching however cames from the heald man who has experienced the miracle and was present also on the assemblies. The evangelist's documented preached gospel becames then his documented written gospel.
The author of the article stresses especially on the ground of the two participles idon kai gnous (v. 6) that the motiv which moved Jesus to performe the miracle was his divine mercy and pity toward the unfortunate sick man. The sabbatical dispute has non occasioned the miracle but the healing on Saturdy has created the occasion for the sabbatical dispute and the revelatory discourse, which is a self-defense for the dealing on Saturday. The evangelist has produced the motiv on the healing, the sabbatical dispute and the revelatory discourse in this light.
