Resumo(s)
Não sabemos hoje exatamente que tipos de sofrimentos eram os daqueles que vieram ter com Jesus para serem curados, expurgados, consolados, exorcizados, reconciliados, pacificados. A denominação geral de “espíritos impuros” abarcava uma grande variedade de maleitas, de indigências, de doenças, de condições que hoje poderão até incluir-se (algumas) num conjunto geral de casos de psiquiatria. Jesus também
encontra casos de enfermidades mentais, desespero, doenças psicossomáticas que muitos dos seus contemporâneos fazem derivar de “espíritos impuros”. Seja como for (e mesmo assim sem negar a absoluta singularidade e normalidade da atividade taumatúrgica de Jesus), Jesus reconciliou a muitos não apenas pelos seus gestos particulares, mais emblemáticos, mais surpreendentes. Mesmo ao exorcizar, Jesus restaurou psicologicamente a pessoa, reintegrando-a por esse gesto na cidadania de Israel e na vida religiosa do seu povo pois até aí era considerado à parte porque impuro(a).
We do not know exactly what kinds of ills those that came to Jesus suffered from. They asked to be cured, purged, consoled, exorcised, reconciled and returned to peace. The usual term ‘unclean spirits’ has a broad range of meanings: illnesses, handicaps, woes, all sorts of conditions that nowadays might be labelled in general terms (in some instances) as psychiatric cases. Jesus also found cases of mental illnesses, despair, psychosomatic diseases, which were regarded by many first-century Jews as stemming from “unclean spirits”. Be that as it may (and, in any case, not in any sense denying the absolute singularity of Jesus’ thaumaturgy), Jesus reestablished many people not only with his very particular noteworthy and astonishing gestures. And in the process of exorcism, Jesus restored a person psychologically, thereby reinstating to the citizenship of Israel and to the religious life of its people those who thus far had been cast aside as impure.
