Obecność i znaczenie żydowskich pism świętych w Nowym Testamencie na przykładzie targumów palestyńskich

Abstract

The article aims to reveal connections between the Aramaic Targums and the scripts of the New Testament. In order to notice the links, we should remember that Christianity has its sources in Judaism. Without realizing this, a correct and proper exegesis of the New Testament would not be possible. The so – called Palestinian Targum is the source of many pericopes from the New Testament, e.g. the Jamnes and Jambres tradition in 2 Tim 3:8; Such pericopes were analyzed as well: the fragment of 1 Cor 10:4 (the spiritual rock tradition); and Jn 4:15 (conversation with the Samaritan woman); I Pet. 1:12 (things into which angels long to look); Ephes 4:22-25 (put off your old nature), etc. These pericopes were explained in the light of Targums to Genesis, preserved e.g. in the Targum Pseudo – Jonathan ben ‘Uzziel, which was well described by J.W. Etheridge and M. McNamara. Generally, the Targums should be understood as a very early material which might illuminate the New Testament, but they do not predate it.
