Abstract
The reaction of Jesus and his disciples to violence in the Gospel of John
 
 This article is the second of two articles in which violence in the Gospel of John is discussed. It is argued that Jesus' disciples used techniques of vilification in the Gospel, inter alia as way of dealing with the violence they experience at the hands of their opponents. Closer investigation reveals that they use vilification against their opponents as a pragmatic device for missionary purposes.
Highlights
This article is the second of two articles in which violence in the Gospel of John is discussed
Daar hoef dus nie veronderstel te word dat die vilifiserende taal net gebruik is in die debat teenoor die opponente nie, maar dat dit ook in binnegesprekke in die Johannese groep as identiteitvormende retoriek gefunksioneer het
Daar word dus nie veel van die stryd gemaak nie, aangesien Jesus se oorwinning bo alle twyfel staan
Summary
In die vorige artikel is daar op die geweld van die opponente van Jesus teen hom en sy dissipels gefokus. Die vraag is nou hoe die volgelinge van Jesus hierdie sterk geweldsaksies verwerk het. Die verhaal van Jesus is eintlik geweldsverhaal teen Jesus. Hy word verwerp (Joh 1:9-11), gehaat, vervolg en uiteindelik doodgemaak. Jesus se volgelinge was in die minderheid en kon die geweld teen hulle eintlik nie met soortgelyke geweld keer nie. Die paar dissipels kon nie die kruisiging van Jesus keer nie. Kontra-geweld sou hulle einde beteken, aangesien die magsoorwig in die guns van die opponente oorweldigend was. Wat hier volg is enkele van die belangrikste wyses waarop die volgelinge van Jesus die geweld teen hulle hanteer het
