Document Details : Title: Seeing the Johannine Last Meal as a Covenant Meal (John 13 and Exodus 24) Author(s): SONG, Seung-In Journal: Biblica Volume: 100 Issue: 2 Date: 2019 Pages: 282-292 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.100.2.3286603 Abstract : This article investigates structural and thematic similarities between John 13 and Exodus 24: (1) the representatives of each group were invited to a meal, and they saw God and ate before him; (2) the groups received divine commandments; (3) the groups responded positively but failed soon afterward; (4) the narratives include or imply a blood ritual; and (5) there was an intermediary among the invited who had a more intimate relationship with God. These common elements encourage us to understand John 13 as a covenant meal. |
