De que forma foi a ordem de Jesus em João 13,34 "nova"?
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. John 13:34WEB
It isn't the "love one another" part that is new -- that was already commanded back in Lev. 19:18.[1] The new part is "as I have loved you." We have now seen YHWH in the flesh interacting directly with us and providing us with specific examples of how we should love. I think a lot of these examples involve Jesus' specific emphases on humility, care for children, and personal forgiveness. But he also exemplified following Biblical law, as well.
So the next question should be "did Jesus provide us with any examples of 'loving action' which overturn or contradict anything that was previously commanded in God's law?"
Sugiro que a resposta seja não. Jesus violou (muitas vezes intencionalmente) as tradições dos fariseus sobre a lei, mas Jesus nunca violou a própria lei. Pelo contrário, ele defendeu a lei de formas que deixavam os homens desconfortáveis. Portanto, ele nunca nos poderia ter dado um exemplo de uma acção que subverte a lei, apenas acções que a esclarecem, ou contradizem as adições dos homens à lei (ou tradições sobre a lei).
