Jesus en sy dissipels se reaksie op geweld in die Johannesevangelie

Abstract

The reaction of Jesus and his disciples to violence in the Gospel of John

This article is the second of two articles in which violence in the Gospel of John is discussed. It is argued that Jesus' disciples used techniques of vilification in the Gospel, inter alia as way of dealing with the violence they experience at the hands of their opponents. Closer investigation reveals that they use vilification against their opponents as a pragmatic device for missionary purposes.
