| Summary: | This article proposes that the reason why the synoptic gospels’ description of the ritual performed by Jesus at the Last Supper differs significantly from that of Paul in 1 Cor. 11:23-32 is because their description reflects a text in mSanhedrin 6:2 stating that a person who is about to be executed must confess in order to be atoned. It implies that the confession of Jesus echoes the one which his namesake Joshua demanded that Akhan make before his execution in Josh. 7:19-25. The article suggests that the authors of the synoptic gospels propose that Jesus’ conduct at the Last Supper reflected Tannaitic laws which were being orally transmitted contemporaneously with NT narratives. Cet article propose que la description, dans les évangiles synoptiques, du rituel accompli par Jésus lors de la dernière Cène diffère, de façon significative, de celle de Paul en 1 Co 11,23-32, faisant penser à un texte en M. Sanhédrin 6,2 indiquant qu’une personne qui est sur le point d’être exécuté doit confesser pour être expié. Ceci implique que la confession de Jésus fasse écho à celle que son homonyme Josué a exigée d’Akân avant son exécution en Jos 7,19-25. L’article avance l’idée que les auteurs des évangiles synoptiques suggèrent que le comportement de Jésus, lors de la dernière Cène, reflétait des lois tannaïtiques qui étaient transmises oralement à l’époque des récits néotestamentaires. |
