Actes 9.2

Damas était l'antique capitale de la Syrie Nous savons, par l'historien Josèphe, que la population juive y était extrêmement nombreuse. Une Eglise chrétienne y était née, soit que des Juifs de Damas, s'étant rendus à Jérusalem à l'occasion des fêtes, en eussent rapporté la semence de l'Evangile, soit que celle-ci eût été portée jusqu'à Damas, par la dispersion des chrétiens de Jérusalem, qui venait d'avoir lieu. (Actes 8.1)

Saul s'était donc muni de lettres du souverain sacrificateur pour les synagogues, auxquelles les chrétiens de Damas se rattachaient encore. Il espérait se saisir d'eux par l'entremise des chefs de ces synagogues. En effet, la juridiction du sanhédrin était reconnue par tous les Juifs, même à l'étranger. L'autorité civile aurait pu s'opposer a cette persécution ; mais les Romains laissaient aux tribunaux juifs l'exercice de la justice ; ils se réservaient seulement d'appliquer la peine de mort.

- Le mot de synagogues, au pluriel, montre aussi combien les Juifs étaient nombreux à Damas, puisqu'ils y avaient plusieurs maisons de prière.

Le mot qui désigne l'Eglise, ordinairement traduit par secte, signifie proprement voie, chemin, c'est-à-dire une certaine direction, une conduite que suivent les hommes. Cette désignation ne se trouve que dans le livre des Actes. (Actes 19.9 ; 22.4 ; 24.14,22 ; comparez Actes 18.25,26)

L'expression : s'il en trouvait quelques uns, ne met pas en doute qu'il y eût des chrétiens à Damas mais signifie : ceux qu'il trouverait, qu'il pourrait atteindre.

    • Esther 3

      8 Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They don't keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
      9 If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
      10 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
      11 The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
      12 Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
      13 Letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
