Oh, maar hij verscheen aan zijn discipelen na zijn opstanding. Kan jij me dan is uitleggen waarom niemand hem herkende? Kijk in Lukas 24:13-35, dit gaat over
de emmausgangers. JC verscheen aan hen, maar zij herkenden hem niet.
Nog interessanter vind ik dat nadat Jezus z'n discipelen had vermaand niet verder te vertellen dat hij
de Christus was, hij in Lucas 9:22 vertelt dat
de mensenzoon zou worden verworpen, zou lijden en ten derden dage zou worden opgewekt. Niet veel verder, nog in hetzelfde hoofdstuk, vers 9:44-45, vertelt hij nogmaals tegen zijn discipelen: "Leg deze woorden in jullie oren, want
de Mensenzoon zal worden overgeleverd in
de handen
van mensen." "Maar", vervolgt
de tekst, "ze begrepen deze woorden niet en het was voor hen verborgen, zodat zij het niet verstonden..."
Joden die niet begrepen dat Jesaja 53 naar het lijden
van de Moshiach verwijst? Frappant. Let eens op
de Griekse tekst
van deze laatste zin: "Maar ze begrepen deze woorden niet EN (και) het was voor hen verborgen, zodat zij het niet verstonden".
Indien Jesaja 53 een profetie zou zijn die naar het lijden, sterven en opstaan
van de verwees, dan is het bijzonder frappant dat ze dat niet begrepen. Veel wijst erop dat, voordat Jezus hun het begrip gaf (in Lukas 24:45),
de discipelen deze schriftuitlegging blijkbaar nog niet kenden.
Reeds 1000 jaar voordat Rashi leefde, schreef
de Christelijke Kerkvader Origen in Contra Celsum Hoofdstuk 54 & 55 (vertaling
van een Katholieke site -

And since Celsus, although professing to know all about the Gospel, reproaches the Saviour because of His sufferings, saying that He received no assistance from the Father, or was unable to aid Himself; we have to state that His sufferings were the subject of prophecy, along with the cause of them; because it was for the benefit of mankind that He should die on their account, and should suffer stripes because of His condemnation. It was predicted, moreover, that some from among the Gentiles would come to the knowledge of Him (among whom the prophets are not included); and it had been declared that He would be seen in a form which is deemed dishonourable among men. The words of prophecy run thus: "Lo, my Servant shall have understanding, and shall be exalted and glorified, and raised exceedingly high. In like manner, many shall be astonished at Thee; so Thy form shall be in no reputation among men, and Thy glory among the sons of men. Lo, many nations shall marvel because of Him; and kings shall close their mouths: because they, to whom no message about Him was sent, shall see Him; and they who have not heard of Him, shall have knowledge of Him." "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom was the arm of the LORD revealed? We have reported, as a child before Him, as a root in a thirsty ground. He has no form nor glory; and we beheld Him, and He had not any form nor beauty: but His appearance was without honour, and deficient more than that of all men. He was a man under suffering, and who knew how to bear sickness: because His countenance was averted, He was treated with disrespect, and was made of no account. This man bears our sins, and suffers pain on our behalf; and we regarded Him as in trouble, and in suffering, and as ill-treated. But He was wounded for our sins, and bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him; by His stripes we were healed. We all, like sheep, wandered from the way. A man wandered in his way, and the Lord delivered Him on account of our sins; and He, because of His evil treatment, opens not His mouth. As a sheep was He led to slaughter; and as a lamb before her shearer is dumb, so He opens not His mouth. In His humiliation His judgment was taken away. And who shall describe His generation? because His life is taken away from the earth; because of the iniquities of My people was He led unto death."
CHAP. LV.
Now I remember that, on one occasion, at a disputation held with certain Jews, who were reckoned wise men, I quoted these prophecies; to which my Jewish opponent replied, that these predictions bore reference to the whole people, regarded as one individual, and as being in a state of dispersion and suffering, in order that many proselytes might be gained, on account of the dispersion of the Jews among numerous heathen nations. And in this way he explained the words, "Thy form shall be of no reputation among men;" and then, "They to whom no message was sent respecting him shall see;" and the expression, "A man under suffering." Many arguments were employed on that occasion during the discussion to prove that these predictions regarding one particular person were not rightly applied by them to the whole nation. And I asked to what character the expression would be appropriate, "This man bears our sins, and suffers pain on our behalf;" and this, "But He was wounded for our sins, and bruised for our iniquities;" and to whom the expression properly belonged, "By His stripes were we healed." For it is manifest that it is they who had been sinners, and had been healed by the Saviour's sufferings (whether belonging to the Jewish nation or converts from the Gentiles), who use such language in the writings of the prophet who foresaw these events, and who, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, appiled these words to a person. But we seemed to press them hardest with the expression, "Because of the iniquities of My people was He led away unto death." For if the people, according to them, are the subject of the prophecy, how is the man said to be led away to death because of the iniquities of the people of God, unless he be a different person from that people of God? And who is this person save Jesus Christ, by whose stripes they who believe on Him are healed, when "He had spoiled the principalities and powers (that were over us), and had made a show of them openly on His cross?" At another time we may explain the several parts of the prophecy, leaving none of them unexamined. But these matters have been treated at greater length, necessarily as I think, on account of the language of the Jew, as quoted in the work of Celsus.
