Galilejska bezdomność Jezusa?

Abstract

After his baptism in the Jordan river Jesus came back to Galilee, but left his home in Nazareth. The present article deals with the question, where did he live thereafter. As a matter of fact, he probably combined temporary dwelling in Capharnaum with missionary wandering. During these journeys, Jesus either welcomed people’s hospitality, healing and preaching the Kingdom of God in the places where he stayed, or lived homeless, using these periods of time for strengthening the deep, personal relationship with his Father. Each Gospel presents its own view of Jesus’ habitational situation in Galilee. The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus’ ministry in a dialectic pattern of public activity for the crowds and more intimate formation of the disciples. In the reconstructed Q Source, Jesus’ homelessness is related to the rejection of his message and person, but also to the joyful experience of God’s loving care. Luke presents Jesus as visiting the houses of sons and daughters of Abraham. Matthew lays stress on the permanent abode of the Messiah in the Galilean territories of the Land of Israel. In the theology of John, Jesus’ homeland is not Galilee but Judea - close to the earthly sanctuary of his Father in Jerusalem.
