31.8.10

Lapidação bíblica (Biblical lapidation)

A lapidação existia no tempo de Moisés que se queixa a Jeová (Êxodo 17, 4) «dentro em pouco irão apedrejar-me». A lapidação de São Paulo ocorreu na comunidade judaica da Ásia Menor (Actos 14, 19) «alguns judeus de Antioquia e de Icónio (...) apedrejaram Paulo e, dando-o por morto, arrastaram-no para fora da cidade». Jesus Cristo pensou ser lapidado (São João 10, 31) «os judeus pegaram pela segunda vez em pedras para o apedrejar».

Lapidation existed in Moses’ time; he complains to the Lord (Exodus 17, 4) "soon, I'll be stoned to death". The lapidation of St. Paul took place in the Jewish community in Asia Minor (Acts 14, 19) 'some Jews from Antioch and Iconium stoned Paul and (...) as they thought he was dead, dragged him out of town". Jesus Christ thought he would be stoned to death (John 10, 31) 'the Jews took up stones again to stone him".
