Jesus’ attitude towards purity is one of the most intriguing and complicated issues in understanding Jesus’ attitude towards Judaism. The difficulty of understanding Jesus’ attitude stems from his granting legitimacy to impure people – a decision that conflicts with Jesus’ contemporary authorities. It seems, therefore, that Jesus replaces the traditional understanding of purity with his own understanding thereof. This paper examines Jesus’ treatment of purity and impurity, in particular the hand washing controversy in Matthew 15:1-20. The debate over hand washing before meals demonstrates that Matthew regards his community as a Jewish group distinguished by believing in Jesus as Messiah but that still identifies as a part of Israel by engaging in the development of interpretation of a biblical law and by articulating a unique moral vision. Thus, this research focuses on revealing Jesus’ understanding of purity in opposition to the Pharisees’ view thereof, as well as how the author illuminates Matthean Jesus’ attitude towards purity and the Matthean community’s morality. While analyzing Matt 15:1-20 in terms of Matthean Jesus’ interpretation of purity, I show how the Gospel of Matthew utilize the matter of purity to articulate his comprehension of Jesus and to make a group distinct in terms of its contemporary halakhic interpretations. In conclusion, Matthew’s interpretation of the purity custom will provide us with a clearer understanding of who Matthean Jesus was and what he asserted as well as the moral virtue of his communal identity.
Abstract
Jesus’ attitude towards purity is one of the most intriguing and complicated issues in understanding Jesus’ attitude towards Judaism. The difficulty of understanding Jesus’ attitude stems from his granting legitimacy to impure people – a decision that conflicts with Jesus’ contemporary authorities. It seems, therefore, that Jesus replaces the traditional understanding of purity with his own understanding thereof. This paper examines Jesus’ treatment of purity and impurity, in particular the hand washing controversy in Matthew 15:1-20. The debate over hand washing before meals demonstrates that Matthew regards his community as a Jewish group distinguished by believing in Jesus as Messiah but that still identifies as a part of Israel by engaging in the development of interpretation of a biblical law and by articulating a unique moral vision. Thus, this research focuses on revealing Jesus’ understanding of purity in opposition to the Pharisees’ view thereof, as well as how the author illuminates Matthean Jesus’ attitude towards purity and the Matthean community’s morality. While analyzing Matt 15:1-20 in terms of Matthean Jesus’ interpretation of purity, I show how the Gospel of Matthew utilize the matter of purity to articulate his comprehension of Jesus and to make a group distinct in terms of its contemporary halakhic interpretations. In conclusion, Matthew’s interpretation of the purity custom will provide us with a clearer understanding of who Matthean Jesus was and what he asserted as well as the moral virtue of his communal identity.
