Mt 21.1-9 pericope exegesis using intertextual perspective and reception theory
Konupková, Kateřina ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of intertextuality in the context of biblical studies, specifically focusing on the exegesis of the passage Matthew 21:1-9. It consists of two main parts. The first part describes the term "intertextuality" itself, its origin, various interpretations by different authors, and its application in biblical studies. The issue of intertextuality is comparatively demonstrated using the presented types of intertextuality and their intricacies. Chapters 1 and 2 cover this part. The second part focuses on a specific exegesis of Matthew's passage 21:1-9. This part is described in Chapter 3. Through biblical exegesis, the intertextual relationships between the Old and New Testaments are outlined, utilizing specific biblical passages for this ad hoc purpose. My intention is to demonstrate through the interpretation of these biblical passages how the author of the Gospel of Matthew attempts to convince his readers about Jesus's messianism in a particular manner, employing afformentioned intertextual methods.

Omesová, Terezie ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Terezie Omesová ENGLISH ABSTRACT Parables in the Gospel of Matthew and their role This bachelor thesis deals with the themes of selected parables in the Gospel of Matthew and their relevance for our life. The introduction presents general characteristics of the parables, their definition, interpretation, occurrence, the process of handing them down and their structure. The following part turns our attention to the person of Jesus in the context of his time. The parables are given in the same sequence as in the Gospel of Matthew. Nine selected parables summarize the basic message of Jesus's teaching in the Gospel of Matthew. They are concerned especially with the following fourfold: 1 - the kingdom of God, 2 - the beginning, 3 - the vocation, and 4 - the judgement. Although the parables were voiced and written down in a completely different period and context, they - being the word of God - carry an important message also for contemporary humanity. They call us to vigilance, prudence, responsibility, forgiveness, readiness and love to our neighbours, but they also warn us against foolishness, indifference and stagnation. The thesis shows that the selected parables have their relevance both for the time of their genesis, but they also carry an important message for the contemporary context. Jesus and his...

Kocourková, Simona ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Hřebík, Josef (referee)
Peter's faith in the context of Jesus's epiphany on the sea. Analysis of an excerpt from the gospel according to Matthew 14, 22 - 33 with respect to the experience of faith of the Apostle Peter. The study deals with the analysis of an excerpt from the gospel of Matthew about Jesus's epiphany on the sea (Mt. 14, 22 - 33) with regard to actions of the Apostle Peter. The first part is dedicated to the text of the pericope itself, its origin, placement and function in the gospel of Matthew. Literary and textual analysis is performed mainly by comparison with analogical excerpts from other gospels, especially the gospel of Mark. Due to this, the unique message of Matthew's gospel, which is Peter's behaviour as the answer of faith to the manifestation of Jesus's divinity, is revealed. The evangelist thus unravels a vast composition about the church. The figure of the Apostle Peter, his role and meaning within the whole text of the gospel is the subject of the second part of the thesis. The picture of the first disciple is characterized not only by an exemplary faith, but also by a failure and an example of human weakness. This fact leads to the question about what was the goal that the evangelist followed by describing the negative aspects of Peter's actions. The third part deals with the fundamental...

Kilhof, Tomáš ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Jesus and the fulfillment of the Law in Mat 5:17-48 The bachelor thesis deals with how Jesus presents his message as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. First, the understanding of the Law in the Old Testament and Jewish traditions is briefly described through commentary. His conception in the books of the Torah, the Decalogue and other legislative texts. Of course, Jesus, as a member of the Jewish nation, fully honors the Law, but in his view, man comes to the fore, as the highest good to be kept in mind when applying the individual provisions of the Law. A brief introduction to the Gospel of Matthew also outlines the relationship of the Gospel of Matthew to Judaism and an analysis of the "sermon on the mountain", especially Mt 5: 17-48. For comparison, some parallels from the OT are given, as well as comparisons with other Gospels. The following is an analysis of the six "antitheses", their formulation in the Old Testament, and the subsequent interpretation of Jesus and the introduction of new requirements. Jesus interprets the law and makes demands from the position of the highest authority, the Son of God. He is above the Law. The work focuses on Jesus' conception of the law and describes the difference between the letter and the spirit of the law. The main theme is Jesus as the One who...
