JESUS, O MESSIAS: UM OLHAR DA COMUNIDADE PETRINA SOBRE O ANÚNCIO MESSIÂNICO DO SEGUNDO ISAÍAS

Abstract

This dissertation explores the question about Jesus of Nazareth, from the First Epistle of Peter, accomplishes the Suffering Messiah announced by the prophet Second Isaiah of the Old Testament. The petrine community was able to perceive in the suffering and oppression they were experiencing the resemblance of the image of the Suffering Servant to their own suffering and the suffering of Jesus. Going through the pericopes of 1Pd 2,21-25 and Is 53,1-10, it can be concluded that, in the eyes of the petrine community, Jesus perfectly fulfilled the announced Messianic characteristics. In order to understand the Messianic traits in these two communities, classical and contemporary authors were used to establish due dialogue on the issue. The academic reflections about Jesus Messiah Sufferer were made through a bibliographical research, supported by the historical-critical method, enriched by the sociological method and by the conflictual model. In making the approach of Jesus' suffering to that of the Suffering Servant of the Babylonian captivity, the petrine community realized the fulfillment of the Messianic promise, Jesus was the Messiah, not the triumphalistic incarnation that the Jews expected, but the incarnation in suffering. It is through suffering that the Petrine theology of Jesus Messiah the Sufferer is established.
