Matthieu 9.15

Les amis de l'époux, ou amis de noce (grec les fils de la chambre nuptiale, hébraïsme), étaient les jeunes gens qui accompagnaient l'époux quand il venait prendre sa fiancée pour l'emmener, entourée de ses amies, dans sa maison. (Matthieu 25.1 et suivants) Ils figurent les disciples de Jésus, qui se présente lui-même comme l'époux de l'Eglise.

Les disciples de Jean durent comprendre cette belle image que leur maître avait employée. Jean 3.29. Ces amis ne devaient ni ne pouvaient (vers. 15) être dans le deuil, s'attrister par le jeûne, tandis que Jésus était avec eux.

En se désignant comme l'époux Jésus affirme que, dans sa personne, c'est Dieu lui-même qui visite son peuple, car, dans le langage de l'Ancien Testament, cette comparaison est exclusivement réservée aux rapports de Jéhovah et d'Israël. Après avoir rappelé sa suprême dignité, Jésus, comme toujours, reporte sa pensée sur son abaissement suprême. (Matthieu 16.21)

Quand l'époux leur sera ôté (grec enlevé brusquement), alors ils jeûneront, au sein de leurs souffrances, de leurs tristesses, non parce que la loi l'ordonne, mais avec une sainte liberté, afin de se livrer tout entiers à la prière et à leurs rudes travaux. (Comparer Matthieu 17.21 ; Actes 13.2,3,14.23)

- C'est ici, dans notre évangile, la première fois que Jésus annonce sa mort, dont il eut, dès le commencement de son ministère, la plus claire prévision. (Jean 2.19 ; 3.14 ; comparez Jean 1.29) Quel jour ce fait jette sur toute sa vie !

    • Juges 14

      11 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
      12 Samson said to them, "Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
      13 but if you can't declare it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." They said to him, "Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it."
      14 He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
      15 It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is it not so?"
      16 Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and don't love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." He said to her, "Behold, I haven't told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?"
      17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
      18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
      19 The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
      20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.

      Psaumes 45

      14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

      Matthieu 25

      1 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
      2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
      3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
      4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
      5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
      6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'
      7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
      8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
      9 But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
      10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

      Luc 24

      13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
      14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
      15 It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
      16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
      17 He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?"
      18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things which have happened there in these days?"
      19 He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
      20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
      21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

      Jean 3

      29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.

      Jean 16

      6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
      20 Most certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
      21 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
      22 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
