마태복음 23

1이에 예수께서 무리와 제자들에게 말씀하여 가라사대 2서기관들과 바리새인들이 모세의 자리에 앉았으니 3그러므로 무엇이든지 저희의 말하는 바는 행하고 지키되 저희의 하는 행위는 본받지 말라 저희는 말만 하고 행치 아니하며 4또 무거운 짐을 묶어 사람의 어깨에 지우되 자기는 이것을 한 손가락으로도 움직이려 하지 아니하며 5저희 모든 행위를 사람에게 보이고자 하여 하나니 곧 그 차는 경문을 넓게 하며 옷술을 크게 하고 6잔치의 상석과 회당의 상좌와 7시장에서 문안 받는 것과 사람에게 랍비라 칭함을 받는 것을 좋아하느니라 8그러나 너희는 랍비라 칭함을 받지 말라 너희 선생은 하나이요 너희는 다 형제니라 9땅에 있는 자를 아비라 하지 말라 너희 아버지는 하나이시니 곧 하늘에 계신 자시니라 10또한 지도자라 칭함을 받지 말라 너희 지도자는 하나이니 곧 그리스도니라 11너희 중에 큰 자는 너희를 섬기는 자가 되어야 하리라 12누구든지 자기를 높이는 자는 낮아지고 누구든지 자기를 낮추는 자는 높아지리라 13화 있을진저 외식하는 서기관들과 바리새인들이여 너희는 천국 문을 사람들 앞에서 닫고 너희도 들어가지 않고 들어가려 하는 자도 들어가지 못하게 하는도다 14(없음) 15화 있을진저 외식하는 서기관들과 바리새인들이여 너희는 교인 하나를 얻기 위하여 바다와 육지를 두루 다니다가 생기면 너희보다 배나 더 지옥 자식이 되게 하는도다 16화 있을진저 소경된 인도자여 너희가 말하되 누구든지 성전으로 맹세하면 아무 일 없거니와 성전의 금으로 맹세하면 지킬지라 하는도다 17우맹이요 소경들이여 어느 것이 크뇨 그 금이냐 금을 거룩하게 하는 성전이냐 18너희가 또 이르되 누구든지 제단으로 맹세하면 아무 일 없거니와 그 위에 있는 예물로 맹세하면 지킬지라 하는도다 19소경들이여 어느 것이 크뇨 그 예물이냐 예물을 거룩하게 하는 제단이냐 20그러므로 제단으로 맹세하는 자는 제단과 그 위에 있는 모든 것으로 맹세함이요 21또 성전으로 맹세하는 자는 성전과 그 안에 계신 이로 맹세함이요 22또 하늘로 맹세하는 자는 하나님의 보좌와 그 위에 앉으신 이로 맹세함이니라 23화 있을진저 외식하는 서기관들과 바리새인들이여 너희가 박하와 회향과 근채의 십일조를 드리되 율법의 더 중한 바 의와 인과 신은 버렸도다 그러나 이것도 행하고 저것도 버리지 말아야 할지니라 24소경된 인도자여 하루살이는 걸러내고 약대는 삼키는도다 25화 있을진저 외식하는 서기관들과 바리새인들이여 잔과 대접의 겉은 깨끗이 하되 그 안에는 탐욕과 방탕으로 가득하게 하는도다 26소경된 바리새인아 너는 먼저 안을 깨끗이 하라 그리하면 겉도 깨끗하리라 27화 있을진저 외식하는 서기관들과 바리새인들이여 회칠한 무덤 같으니 겉으로는 아름답게 보이나 그 안에는 죽은 사람의 뼈와 모든 더러운 것이 가득하도다 28이와 같이 너희도 겉으로는 사람에게 옳게 보이되 안으로는 외식과 불법이 가득하도다 29화 있을진저 외식하는 서기관들과 바리새인들이여 너희는 선지자들의 무덤을 쌓고 의인들의 비석을 꾸미며 가로되 30만일 우리가 조상 때에 있었더면 우리는 저희가 선지자의 피를 흘리는데 참예하지 아니하였으리라 하니 31그러면 너희가 선지자를 죽인 자의 자손됨을 스스로 증거함이로다 32너희가 너희 조상의 양을 채우라 33뱀들아 독사의 새끼들아 너희가 어떻게 지옥의 판결을 피하겠느냐 34그러므로 내가 너희에게 선지자들과 지혜있는 자들과 서기관들을 보내매 너희가 그 중에서 더러는 죽이고 십자가에 못 박고 그 중에 더러는 너희 회당에서 채찍질하고 이 동네에서 저 동네로 구박하리라 35그러므로 의인 아벨의 피로부터 성전과 제단 사이에서 너희가 죽인 바라갸의 아들 사가랴의 피까지 땅 위에서 흘린 의로운 피가 다 너희에게 돌아가리라 36내가 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 이것이 다 이 세대에게 돌아가리라 37예루살렘아 예루살렘아 선지자들을 죽이고 네게 파송된 자들을 돌로 치는 자여 암탉이 그 새끼를 날개 아래 모음 같이 내가 네 자녀를 모으려 한 일이 몇 번이냐 그러나 너희가 원치 아니 하였도다 38보라 너희 집이 황폐하여 버린 바 되리라 39내가 너희에게 이르노니 이제부터 너희는 찬송하리로다 주의 이름으로 오시는 이여 할 때까지 나를 보지 못하리라 하시니라

1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, 2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat. 3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do. 4For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them. 5But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad, enlarge the fringesof their garments, 6and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men. 8But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers. 9Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. 10Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ. 11But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. 12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. 13“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. 14“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter. 15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehennaas yourselves. 16“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’ 17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’ 19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it. 21He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was livingin it. 22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it. 23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. 24You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel! 25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness. 26You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also. 27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous, 30and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ 31Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets. 32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna? 34Therefore behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city; 35that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar. 36Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! 38Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 39For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

1Toen sprak Jezus tot de scharen en tot Zijn discipelen, 2Zeggende: De Schriftgeleerden en de Farizeen zijn gezeten op de stoel van Mozes; 3Daarom, al wat zij u zeggen, dat gij houden zult, houdt dat en doet het; maar doet niet naar hun werken; want zij zeggen het, en doen het niet. 4Want zij binden lasten, die zwaar zijn en kwalijk om te dragen, en leggen ze op de schouderen der mensen; maar zij willen die met hun vinger niet verroeren. 5En al hun werken doen zij, om van de mensen gezien te worden; want zij maken hun gedenkcedels breed, en maken de zomen van hun klederen groot. 6En zij beminnen de vooraanzitting in de maaltijden, en de voorgestoelten in de synagogen; 7Ook de begroetingen op de markten, en van de mensen genaamd te worden: Rabbi, Rabbi! 8Doch gij zult niet Rabbi genaamd worden; want Een is uw Meester, namelijk Christus; en gij zijt allen broeders. 9En gij zult niemand uw vader noemen op de aarde; want Een is uw Vader, namelijk Die in de hemelen is. 10Noch zult gij meesters genoemd worden; want Een is uw Meester, namelijk Christus. 11Maar de meeste van u zal uw dienaar zijn. 12En wie zichzelven verhogen zal, die zal vernederd worden; en wie zichzelven zal vernederen, die zal verhoogd worden. 13Maar wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden! want gij sluit het Koninkrijk der hemelen voor de mensen, overmits gij daar niet ingaat, noch degenen, die ingaan zouden, laat ingaan. 14Wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden, want gij eet de huizen der weduwen op, en dat onder den schijn van lang te bidden; daarom zult gij te zwaarder oordeel ontvangen. 15Wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden, want gij omreist zee en land, om een Jodengenoot te maken, en als hij het geworden is, zo maakt gij hem een kind der helle, tweemaal meer dan gij zijt. 16Wee u, gij blinde leidslieden, die zegt: Zo wie gezworen zal hebben bij den tempel, dat is niets; maar zo wie gezworen zal hebben bij het goud des tempels, die is schuldig. 17Gij dwazen en blinden, want wat is meerder, het goud, of de tempel, die het goud heiligt? 18En zo wie gezworen zal hebben bij het altaar, dat is niets; maar zo wie gezworen zal hebben bij de gave, die daarop is, die is schuldig. 19Gij dwazen en blinden, want wat is meerder, de gave, of het altaar, dat de gave heiligt? 20Daarom wie zweert bij het altaar, die zweert bij hetzelve, en bij al wat daarop is. 21En wie zweert bij den tempel, die zweert bij denzelven, en bij Dien, Die daarin woont. 22En wie zweert bij den hemel, die zweert bij den troon Gods, en bij Dien, Die daarop zit. 23Wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden, want gij vertient de munte, en de dille, en den komijn, en gij laat na het zwaarste der wet, namelijk het oordeel, en de barmhartigheid, en het geloof. Deze dingen moest men doen, en de andere niet nalaten. 24Gij blinde leidslieden, die de mug uitzijgt, en den kemel doorzwelgt. 25Wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden, want gij reinigt het buitenste des drinkbekers, en des schotels, maar van binnen zijn zij vol van roof en onmatigheid. 26Gij blinde Farizeer, reinig eerst wat binnen in den drinkbeker en den schotel is, opdat ook het buitenste derzelve rein worde. 27Wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden, want gij zijt den witgepleisterden graven gelijk, die van buiten wel schoon schijnen, maar van binnen zijn zij vol doodsbeenderen en alle onreinigheid. 28Alzo ook schijnt gij wel den mensen van buiten rechtvaardig, maar van binnen zijt gij vol geveinsdheid en ongerechtigheid. 29Wee u, gij Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, gij geveinsden, want gij bouwt de graven der profeten op, en versiert de graftekenen der rechtvaardigen; 30En zegt: Indien wij in de tijden onzer vaderen waren geweest, wij zouden met hen geen gemeenschap gehad hebben aan het bloed der profeten. 31Aldus getuigt gij tegen uzelven, dat gij kinderen zijt dergenen, die de profeten gedood hebben. 32Gij dan ook, vervult de mate uwer vaderen! 33Gij slangen, gij adderengebroedsels! hoe zoudt gij de helse verdoemenis ontvlieden? 34Daarom ziet, Ik zend tot u profeten, en wijzen, en schriftgeleerden, en uit dezelve zult gij sommigen doden en kruisigen, en sommigen uit dezelve zult gij geselen in uw synagogen, en zult hen vervolgen van stad tot stad; 35Opdat op u kome al het rechtvaardige bloed, dat vergoten is op de aarde, van het bloed des rechtvaardigen Abels af, tot op het bloed van Zacharia, den zoon van Barachia, welken gij gedood hebt tussen den tempel en het altaar. 36Voorwaar zeg Ik u: Al deze dingen zullen komen over dit geslacht. 37Jeruzalem, Jeruzalem! gij, die de profeten doodt, en stenigt, die tot u gezonden zijn! hoe menigmaal heb Ik uw kinderen willen bijeenvergaderen, gelijkerwijs een hen haar kiekens bijeenvergadert onder de vleugels; en gijlieden hebt niet gewild. 38Ziet, uw huis wordt u woest gelaten. 39Want Ik zeg u: Gij zult Mij van nu aan niet zien, totdat gij zeggen zult: Gezegend is Hij, Die komt in den Naam des Heeren!
