| Summary: | This study presents an analysis of three miracles relatéd. in the Gospels: the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, the resurrection of Jairus' daughter and the healing of the Gadarene demoniac. The author of this article examines the background of these stories and confronts some specific data with similar data we find in talmudic sources and in pseudepigraphical writings. He clearly states that the foregoing story of the Gadarene demoniac, is a fictitious story which is related to the myth of Azazel and to the ritual of Yom Kippur. He concludes, in contrast, that the two others following stories have certainly an historical basis. Actually, many details show that the action also takes place at Yom Kippur, the national fast day. For example, Jairus' daughter was (about) twelve years old, and when we tell Jesus that the young girl is dead, he immediately answers: The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And, as soon as she was restored, he commands that something should be given her to eat. Then, this death is probably nothing but a fainting from fasting. This study points out the worth of the Gospels as historical sources. Once again, it also shows that to be better understood, the texts of the New Testament have to be confronted with the others antic sources, particularly with Jewish pseudepigrapha and talmudic literature. |
