Abstract


Even though the first commandment in the Bible, «Be fruitful and multiply» (Gen. 1:28), countered the development of sexual asceticism in early Judaism, yet there is clear evidence of persons and groups choosing voluntary celibacy as a Jewish way of life. The evidence concerning the Essenes, the Therapeutae, Banus, Shim'on ben Azzai, John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth is discussed in this article as are the consequences for the rise of celibacy in early Christianity.
