Abstract

The following article based on harmonized description of Jesus’s seizure pictures the network of hypothetical allusions to historical events and persons contemporary for scripture’s editors. Presented analysis tries to extract innuendos to the I Jewish war and destruction of Jerusalem Temple from this fragment of Passion. Both the dark night at Gethsemane and the catastrophe of the year 70 had their heroes, whose characteristics are surprisingly similar. The sayings and collocations when perceived metaphorically can hide allusions to the ancient history.
