Abstract(s)
A perícope de Mc 14,32-42 – a oração de Jesus no Getsémani –, coloca o leitor
diante de duas figuras paradoxalmente opostas: Jesus e os seus discípulos. Enquanto um
vigia e ora, os outros deixam-se adormecer. Esta sonolência dos discípulos espelha a
incapacidade de se manterem fiéis ao caminho da cruz. O seu fracasso e dificuldades
podem oferecer ao leitor do evangelho uma oportunidade de reflexão sobre a sua
própria vida discipular. Este trabalho, que não pretende de forma alguma descredibilizar
o grupo dos Doze, mas apontar outros caminhos possíveis para o seguimento de Cristo,
procura elaborar um perfil do discípulo à luz da pessoa de Jesus de Nazaré e das suas
atitudes-chave durante este relato, a saber: a oração, a confiança e a vigilância.
Mark's passage 14:32-42 - Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane - places the reader before two paradoxically opposed figures: Jesus and his disciples. As one is watching and praying, the others fall asleep. This drowsiness of the disciples mirrors the inability to remain faithful to the way of the cross. Their failures and difficulties may offer an opportunity for the reader of the gospel to reflect on his own discipling life. This work, which does not intend to discredit the group of Twelve, point´s out other possible paths to follow-up Christ, trying to elaborate a profile of the disciple in the light of the person of Jesus of Nazareth and his key attitudes during this account, that is: prayer, trust and vigilance.
