Čítanie zo svätého evanjelia podľa MatúšaMt 23, 27-32

Ste synmi tých, čo zabíjali prorokov

Ježiš povedal zákonníkom a farizejom: „Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeji, pokrytci, lebo sa podobáte obieleným hrobom, ktoré zvonka vyzerajú pekne, ale vnútri sú plné mŕtvolných kostí a všelijakej nečistoty! Tak sa aj vy navonok zdáte ľuďom spravodliví, no vnútri ste plní pokrytectva a neprávosti.

Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeji, pokrytci! Prorokom staviate hrobky a spravodlivým zdobíte pomníky a hovoríte: ‚Keby sme boli žili za čias našich otcov, neboli by sme s nimi prelievali krv prorokov.‘ A tak si sami svedčíte, že ste synmi tých, čo zabíjali prorokov. Vy už dovŕšte mieru svojich otcov!“

The scribes and Pharisees were enemies to the gospel of Christ, and therefore to the salvation of the souls of men. It is bad to keep away from Christ ourselves, but worse also to keep others from him. /M.H./

Farizeji a uceni zidia boli nepriatelmi Kristovho evanjelia a preto NEPRIATELMI SPASY dusi cloveka.  Je zle, ak sme daleko od Krista, ale HORSIE JE , ked inych drzime daleko od Krista.

23:13-33 The scribes and Pharisees were enemies to the gospel of Christ, and therefore to the salvation of the souls of men. It is bad to keep away from Christ ourselves, but worse also to keep others from him. Yet it is no new thing for the show and form of godliness to be made a cloak to the greatest enormities. But dissembled piety will be reckoned double iniquity. They were very busy to turn souls to be of their party. Not for the glory of God and the good of souls, but that they might have the credit and advantage of making converts. Gain being their godliness, by a thousand devices they made religion give way to their worldly interests. They were very strict and precise in smaller matters of the law, but careless and loose in weightier matters. It is not the scrupling a little sin that Christ here reproves; if it be a sin, though but a gnat, it must be strained out; but the doing that, and then swallowing a camel, or, committing a greater sin. While they would seem to be godly, they were neither sober nor righteous. We are really, what we are inwardly. Outward motives may keep the outside clean, while the inside is filthy; but if the heart and spirit be made new, there will be newness of life; here we must begin with ourselves. The righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees was like the ornaments of a grave, or dressing up a dead body, only for show. The deceitfulness of sinners' hearts appears in that they go down the streams of the sins of their own day, while they fancy that they should have opposed the sins of former days. We sometimes think, if we had lived when Christ was upon earth, that we should not have despised and rejected him, as men then did; yet Christ in his Spirit, in his word, in his ministers, is still no better treated. And it is just with God to give those up to their hearts' lusts, who obstinately persist in gratifying them. Christ gives men their true characters. M.H.

Vybielene hroby - B.

Like unto whited sepulchres - For the construction of sepulchres, see the notes at Matthew 8:28. Those tombs were annually whitewashed to prevent the people from accidentally coming in contact with them as they went up to Jerusalem. This custom is still continued. Dr. Thomson (The Land and the Book, vol. i. p. 148) says, "I have been in places where this is repeated very often. The graves are kept clean and white as snow, a very striking emblem of those painted hypocrites, the Pharisees, beautiful without, but full of dead men's bones and of all uncleanness within." The law considered those persons unclean who had touched anything belonging to the dead, Numbers 19:16. Sepulchres were therefore often whitewashed, that they might be distinctly seen. Thus "whited," they appeared beautiful; but within they contained the bones and corrupting bodies of the dead. So the Pharisees. Their outward conduct appeared well, but their hearts were full of hypocrisy, envy, pride, lust, and malice - suitably represented by the corruption within a whited tomb.

VYBIELENE HROBY

Hroby boli vybielovane kazdy rok 15.dna v mesiaci ADAR, jeden mesiac pred hlavnym zidovskym sviatkom, pripominajuci odchod z Egypta. 

Ezechiel 39,15 - Gogovo udolie, Hamona - vsetky kosti mrtvych pod zemou, aby sa ocistila krajina od Bozich nepriatelov.

 Aj pohanské národy spoznajú, že dom Izraela sa dostal do zajatia vlastnou vinou, pretože sa spreneveril voči mne. Skryl som svoju tvár pred nimi a vydal som ich napospas ich protivníkom, takže všetci padli mečom.

Nie pre ucel vyzdobovania hrobov, bol tento zvyk urceny, ale aby boli navonok uplne ciste, keby prisiel s nimi do kontaktu,aby sa neposkvrnili.,

Numeri 19,16 o ocistnej vode: 16 Ktokoľvek by sa na poli dotkol mŕtvoly človeka zabitého mečom alebo inak usmrteného, či ľudských kostí, prípadne hrobu, bude sedem dní nečistý.

Toto ma iny vyznam Luk11, 44 Beda vám, lebo ste ako neoznačené hroby a ľudia ani nevedia, že po nich chodia!

Zlomyselnostou Samaritanov proti Zidom bolo odstranit vybielenu cistotu zo zidovskych hrobov, aby sa tak zidia mohli nakazit, ked budu po nich chodit.

SYMBOL OBIELENYCH HROBOV sluzi na to, aby sa zdoraznilo, ze zidia venovali pozornost tomu, ako vyzeraju navonok pred ludmi. Aby navonok vyzerali cisti.

Ale v skutocnosti neboli ocisteni vo svojej dusi.

Slovo VYBIELIT pochadza od zvyku hroby oznacovat bielou kriedou na znak ich ocistenia.

V case,ked Pan jezis zil, zidia prichadzali do Jeruzalema slavit zid.sviatok, mohlomsa stat, ze cestou sa dostali do kontaktu s nepochvanymi pozostatkami cloveka a boi by sa pospinili dotykom s mrtvolou. Preto sa zaviedla prax vsetky najdene kosti pochovat pod zem a hroby ocistovat, t.j. oznacovat ich bielou kriedou.

. So He would say, with terrible irony, that the apparent holiness of the rulers was really a sign of corruption, and a warning to keep away from them. What a blow at their self-complacency!

A tak so strasnou ironiou hovori Jezis, ze vonkajsia svatost vladcov bola v skutocnosti znakom KORUPCIE, a VAROVANIM , aby sa clovek od nich drzal daleko.  Je to vysmech ich sebauspokojenia!

Taka dusa je podla Kristovho hodnotenia miestom, kde prebyva smrt, a vychadza z- skazenost naplnuje  toho miesta strasny zapach a cervy, chrobaky a korupcia ich naplnuje , lebo su chori.

Su dva druhy pokrytcov, vedomi a nevedomi. Je ich 19 na jedneho a kazdy z tych 10 nevedomych je velmi nebezpecnych.,

Ako ako hlboko prvadive je tvrdenie, ze cim viac sa snazia pokrytci vyzerat navonok, tym viac hnilmyi su vo vnutri.And how profoundly true it is that the more punctiliously white the hypocrite’s outside, the more foul is he within, and the wider berth will all discerning people give him! The terrible force of the figure needs no dwelling on. In Christ’s estimate, such a soul was the very dwelling-place of death; and foul odours and worms and corruption filled its sickening recesses. Terrible words to come from His lips into which grace was poured, and bold words to be flashed at listeners who held the life of the Speaker in their hands! There are two sorts of hypocrites, the conscious and the unconscious; and there are ten of the latter for one of the former, and each ten times more dangerous.

Established religion breeds them, and they are specially likely to be found among those whose business is to study the documents in which it is embodied. These woes are not like thunder-peals rolling above our heads, while the lightning strikes the earth miles away. A religion which is mostly whitewash is as common among us as ever it was in Jerusalem; and its foul accompaniments of corruption becoming more rotten every year, as the whitewash is laid on thicker, may be smelt among us, and its fatal end is as sure.

1.dna v mesiaci ADAR, t.j, vo februari, mali zidia vo zvyku opravovat cesty a tiez bielit hroby, t.j. vylievali na hroby kriedu rozpustenu vo vode a poliali nou hrob, aby bol biely a aby bol zdialky dobre viditelny pre ucely rozoznatelnosti, aby zaiden putnik, ktory prichadzal na sviatky do jeruzalema, as nedostal do kontaktu s mrtvou osobou, t.j. aby nechodili po hroboch.

Now because when the rains fell, these marks were washed away, hence on the first of Adar (February) when they used to repair the highways, they also marked the graves with white lime, that they might be seen and known, and avoided; and so on their intermediate feast days (z): the reason why they made use of chalk, or lime, and with these marked their graves, was because it looked white like bones (a); so that upon first sight, it might be thought and known what it was for, and that a grave was there: hence this phrase, "whited sepulchres":

which indeed appear beautiful outward; especially at a distance, and when new marked:

but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness; worms and rottenness, which arise from the putrefied carcasses, and are very nauseous and defiling,
