Key words: Jesus Prayer, Gethsemane, the disciples, strength and weakness, vigilance, temptation, anxiety, sadness, exegesis. The work deals with the interpretation of passage from the Gospel of Mark 14,32-42. It should serve to intensified understanding of the biblical passage. The actual interpretation is preceded by textual criticism, suggesting of a possible structure of the text and a description of the circumstances. It also includes a brief comparison with synoptic evangelists Matthew and Luke. The interpretation is structured in accordance with verses. The translation into Czech is cleared when useful. The interpretation is conceived primarily as a comparison of several contemporary exegetical work, but the comments of the Church Fathers are also consulted. In the passage, we can follow two ways to respond to the crisis. Jesus, who faces difficult challenge, when he is fully going to be given over the sinners, confessess his weakness and disinclination before the Father, and finally succumbs the God's will through prayer and gaines solid confidence.

The Image of Woman in the Old and New Testaments
Vlnas, Jan ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
he diploma thesis called "P r e s e n t a t i o n o f F e m a l e C h a r a c t e r s i n t he O l d a n d N e w T e s t a m e n t s " endeavours to examine the depiction of female characters in the texts of the Old and New Testaments. The deuterocanonical books and addictions to Esther and Daniel are taken into account too. A list of the female characters and the interpretation of their names proves not only that there are many of them but also their importance. The classification suggested by this thesis is based on women's role in the story of our salvation and representative examples of these characters show their typical features as well as the personal ones. The characters are further described by means of the theological and historical context. Conclusions of these analyses are confronted with the commonly shared views and stereotypes in particular because of their claim that the Bible strongly promotes the patriarchal life concept. The author has concluded that the female characters in the Bible are much more important than people commonly think. Biblical authors naturally shared the patriarchal view of the world, in spite of it we can assume that they didn't belittle the importance of women. T

Disciples in the Gospel of St. Luke
Cílková, Eva ; Scarano, Angelo (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
The Diploma thesis "The disciples in Gospel of Luke" deals with the formation of disciples in the Gospel of Luke which took place during their collective journey with Jesus until his death and resurrection. The work contains a brief historical introduction including the characteristics of the society and the human dimension of the disciples in contrast to their internal changes - their reversal within meeting Jesus, calling and following. The line follows the election of the Twelve and the subsequent preferences of some of the disciples. The work reflects the consideration of Jesus` pedagogy and teaching the disciples, mainly from the theological dimension. The disciples appear as the eyewitnesses of Jesus` actions. Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God and also announced the conditions of the possible entry to this kingdom. The role of women in Jesus` community is mentioned in the connection with their disciples` features and the importance of their testimony by Jesus` tomb as well. The tension and failure of Jesus` disciples during his final events in Jerusalem were converted during the meeting with resurrected Jesus in the community. Jesus entrusted his disciples with the apostolic mission and continued in their formation. The work provides insight into the disciples who seemed to be listeners and...

The Symbolic of Colours in the Apocalypse of Saint John
Seidlová, Kateřina ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Anglická anotace Symbolic Colours in the Apocalypse of Saint John This thesis attempts to study the use of colours in the depiction of certain themes in the Apocalypse of st. John. The colours used by the author of Revelation are taken both from apocalyptic literature of the Old Testament era, but mainly from the books of Daniel, Ezechiel, Zacharias and Joel. The most often used colour is white: the white stone (Rev 2,17); the white cloud (Rev 14,14); the white horse (Rev 19,11); the white throne (Rev 20,11). Most likely the reason is that the author wanted to encourage his contemporaries in time of persecution. An exception is the text Rev 6,2, where white is used in a concrete historical event. Red or scarlet is used in opposition to white: the red horse (Rev 9,3-4); the red body-armour of locusts (Rev 9,1-21); purple (or scarlet) in Rev 17,4. The author also names colours of such minerals as emerald, ruby and jasper (Rev 4,3). However most attention is paid to Revelation 6, where four riders appear on four horses of different colours. My endeavour therefore was to find as many possible interpretations of colours in the Revelations of st. John as proposed in various biblical lexicons, biblical periodicals and books dealing with this unexplored fascinating topic. Key words New Testament Symbolic Colours...

Woman in Israel and in the Neighbouring Countries
Kryczka, Katarzyna ; Hřebík, Josef (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
Anglická anotace The focus of my baccalaureate thesis is an issue of marriage and family in Israel in the times described in the Old Testament. The role of a woman-mother was very special in that era. My work includes also descriptions of roles for women from the neighboring countries. In my opinion, women fulfill a very special and irreplaceable role in every culture throughout the centuries. Mature woman through her love and honesty creates a home filled with warmth and safety. In our times false feminism proclaims that women have the same rights as men, but robes them from their femininity and motherhood. I would like to point out that even though women in the Old Testament were assigned the second place they were happy, interested in life and had respect among the members of society. Therefore, I would like to present women form different groups of society starting with the slaves and ending with the queen. The interest in their religious practices, approach to raising a family and teaching the children will be a focus of my presentation.
