Autor artykułu bada znaczenie symbolu światła w opisie chrystofanii (Mt 28,1-10). W pierwszej części kreśli zasadnicze rysy symboliki światła w tradycji biblijnej i pozabiblijnej Izraela, w drugiej natomiast stara się odczytać właściwe znaczenie owego symbolu w Mateuszowym opisie wydarzeń przy pustym grobie Jezusa. Zgodnie z wyznaczoną strukturą perykopy najpierw ukazuje, w jaki sposób rozumieć symbolikę świtu, błyskawicy i bieli w pierwszej części opisu chrystofanii (Mt 28,1-4). Analizując drugą część Mateuszowego opisu (Mt 28,5-10), odnosi się do motywów starotestamentowych, nawiązując do motywu „wyjścia” (exodusu) i analizując zabieg redakcyjny ewangelisty, by ukazać Jezusa w roli Mojżesza.

The Gospel of St Matthew was addressed to the Christians of Jewish origin. Further, the symbol of light often appears within Jewish biblical and extra-biblical traditions (apocrypha, pseudoepigrapha, Qumran literature, Josephus). It is not surprising, then, to find it present also in Matthew’s description of both the empty tomb of Jesus and the Christophany which follows (Mt 28:1-10). In the article, the author examines the meaning of the symbol of light as it is employed in this passage.
The author analyses exegetically J 20, 19–20 where the disciples were filled with joy when they saw Risen Jesus. Starting from the analysis of the literary context and the motives related to the disciples’ joy, the author stresses church-centered role of the Risen Lord (kyrios). He points out a number of references to the appearances of Risen Christ in Luke 24, which seem to have many points in common with the Johannine tradition. He particularly focuses on the very moment of appearance when Jesus in a symbolic gesture shows his hands and side to the disciples. The hands and side are the symbols of tender love of the Good Shepherd and inexhaustible source of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, he presents the contrast between the experience of fear, confusion and scattering (before the Resurrection) and the experience of joy, confidence and unity which was rediscovered around the Risen Jesus.

L’articolo presenta un’analisi esegetica di Gv 20, 19–20, dove gli apostoli si rallegrarono al vedere Gesù risorto. Si esamina il contesto letterario, i motivi inerenti alla gioia dei discepoli e il ruolo ecclesiocentrico del Signore Risorto (kyrios). Non mancano riferimenti al racconto delle apparizioni in Lc 24, che sembra molto vicino alla tradizione giovannea. Un’attenzione particolare viene data al momento dell’apparizione, quando Gesù, eseguendo un gesto simbolico, mostra ai discepoli le mani e il costato, entrambi i simboli della amorevole cura del Buon Pastore e dell’inesauribile fonte dello Spirito Santo. Inoltre, viene messo in risalto il contrasto tra lo stato di paura, smarrimento e dispersione (prima dell’apparizione del Risorto) e lo stato di gioia, fiducia e ritrovata unità attorno a Gesù Risorto.
