Jesus’ Portrait in the Canonical Gospels and the Issue of Homosexuality

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article aims to explore the issue of Jesus’ attitude toward homosexuality. Although in the canonical Gospels we do not find a single statement in which Jesus explicitly refers to homosexual acts or persons, the analyses carried out in the article allow us to conclude that He in fact held a negative attitude toward homosexual relations. The article consists of two parts. The first presents and critically evaluates the works of contemporary authors who, on the basis of tendentious interpretations of certain pericopes from the canonical Gospels, attribute to Jesus himself homoerotic relationships. In the second part of the article, the author first explains Jesus’ relative “silence” about homosexual relations by the fact that He embraced and upheld the Old Testament ethical standards on this point. Finally, an analysis is offered of several passages from the Gospels, from which one can conclude, implicitly, that He did not accept homosexual acts.
