예수와 세례자 요한

(눅 7:18-35)

11 예수께서 열두 제자에게 이렇게 지시하신 뒤에 길을 떠나, 갈릴리의 여러 마을을 두루 다니며 가르치고 기쁜 소식을 전하셨다.

세례자 요한은 감옥에 갇혀 있었다. 그는 그리스도께서 하시는 일에 관하여 듣고, 자기 제자들을 예수께 보내어 여쭙게 하였다. “당신이 오시기로 되어 있는 그분이십니까? 아니면 우리가 다른 분을 더 기다려야 합니까?”

예수께서 대답하셨다. “너희가 보고 들은 것을 요한에게 가서 말해 주어라. 눈 먼 사람이 보게 되고, 다리를 절던 사람이 제대로 걷게 되고, 나병[a]에 걸린 사람이 깨끗이 낫고, 귀먹은 사람이 듣고, 죽은 사람이 살아나고, 가난한 사람에게 기쁜 소식이 전해지고 있다고 말해 주어라. 내가 하는 이런 일 때문에 나를 거부하지 않은 사람은 복이 있다.”

요한의 제자들이 떠나자 예수께서 그 자리에 있는 사람들에게 요한에 대해 말씀하기 시작하셨다. “너희가 무엇을 보러 광야에 나갔느냐? 바람에 흔들리는 갈대[b]를 보러 갔더냐? 아니면 무엇을 보러 나갔더냐? 화려한 옷을 입은 사람들을 보러 갔더냐? 화려한 옷을 입은 사람들은 왕궁에 있다. 그러면 무엇을 보러 나갔더냐? 예언자를 보러 갔더냐? 그렇다. 내가 분명히 말하거니와 너희가 본 요한은 예언자보다 더 큰 사람이다. 10 요한에 대해 성경에 이렇게 쓰여 있다.

‘보라! 내가 내 심부름꾼을
너보다 먼저 보내리니
그가 네 길을 미리 준비하리라.’(A)

11 진실로 내가 너희에게 말한다. 이제까지 태어난 사람 가운데서 세례자 요한보다 큰 인물은 없었다. 그러나 하늘나라에서는 가장 작은 사람이라도 세례자 요한보다 크다. 12 세례자 요한의 때부터 지금까지 하늘나라는 폭행을 당해 왔다.[c] 그리고 폭력을 쓰는 사람들이 그것을 힘으로 빼앗아 차지한다. 13 요한이 오기까지 모든 예언서들과 모세의 율법서는 지금의 이 새로운 시대를 기대하며 쓰였다. 14 너희가 율법과 예언자의 말을 믿는다면, 요한이 이미 오기로 예언된 엘리야[d]라는 사실을 알 것이다. 15 들을 귀가 있는 사람은 들어라.

16 내가 이 시대 사람들을 어디에 비유할 수 있겠느냐? 그들은 마치 장터에 앉아 있는 아이들과 같다. 그 아이들이 다른 아이들을 소리쳐 부른다. 17 그러고는 이렇게 말한다.

‘우리가 너희를 위해 피리를 불었는데도
너희는 춤을 추지 않더구나!
우리가 슬픈 노래를 불렀는데도
너희는 슬퍼하지 않더구나!’

18 세례자 요한은 사람들과 어울려 먹지도 마시지도 않았다. 그러자 사람들은 요한을 두고 ‘그 사람은 귀신이 들렸다!’ 하더니, 19 사람의 아들이 와서 먹기도 하고 마시기도 하니, ‘보라, 저 사람은 즐겨 먹고 마시며, 세무원[e]과 죄인[f]들과만 어울리는구나!’ 하고 말한다. 그러나 지혜는 그것이 하는 일로써 그 옳음이 증명된다.”

믿음 없는 사람들에게 경고하시다

(눅 10:13-15)

20 예수께서 기적을 가장 많이 보이신 마을의 사람들이 회개하지 않자 크게 꾸짖으셨다. 21 예수께서 말씀하셨다. “고라신[g]아, 네게 화가 미칠 것이다! 벳새다[h]야, 네게 화가 미칠 것이다! 내가 너희에게 베푼 기적들을 두로와 시돈[i]에서 행하였더라면, 그곳 사람들은 이미 오래 전에 죄를 뉘우치고 베옷을 입고 재를 뒤집어썼을 것이다.[j] 22 내가 너희에게 말한다. 심판 날에 두로와 시돈이 너희보다 가벼운 벌을 받을 것이다. 23 가버나움[k]아, 네가 하늘까지 치솟을 성싶으냐? 너는 지옥으로 떨어질 것이다! 내가 네게 베푼 기적들을 소돔에서 행하였더라면, 소돔은 지금까지 남아 있을 것이다! 24 내가 너희에게 말한다. 심판 날에 소돔 사람들이 너희보다 가벼운 벌을 받을 것이다!”

당신의 사람들에게 와서 쉬라고 말씀하시다

(눅 10:21-22)

25 그러고 나서 예수께서 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “하늘과 땅의 주이신 아버지, 감사합니다. 당신께서는 이런 일들을, 지혜롭고 똑똑한 사람들에게는 감추시고, 어린아이와 같은 사람들에게는 보여 주셨습니다. 26 그렇습니다, 아버지. 일이 이렇게 되는 것은 아버지께서 바라시는 것이었습니다.”

27 “내 아버지께서는 내게 모든 것을 맡겨 주셨다. 아버지밖에는 아들을 아는 이가 없다. 그리고 아들과, 아들이 아버지를 보여 주기로 한 사람들밖에는 아버지를 아는 이가 없다.

28 지치고 무거운 짐을 진 사람들아, 내게로 오너라. 내가 너희를 쉬게 해 주겠다. 29 내 멍에를 받아 짊어져라. 그리고 내게서 배워라. 나는 마음이 부드럽고 겸손하니, 너희의 영혼이 편안히 쉴 수 있을 것이다. 30 내가 너희에게 지워주는 멍에는 편하고, 짐은 가볍다.”

11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Jesus and John the Baptist(A)

11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(B) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[a]

When John,(C) who was in prison,(D) heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come,(E) or should we expect someone else?”

Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(F) Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”(G)

As John’s(H) disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness(I) to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet?(J) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:

“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,(K)
    who will prepare your way before you.’[c](L)

11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.(M) 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.(N) 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(O)

16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17 “‘We played the pipe for you,
    and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
    and you did not mourn.’

18 For John came neither eating(P) nor drinking,(Q) and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(R) But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”

Woe on Unrepentant Towns(S)

20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(T) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,(U) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.(V) 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.(W) 23 And you, Capernaum,(X) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[e](Y) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”(Z)

The Father Revealed in the Son(AA)

25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,(AB) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AC) 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

27 “All things have been committed to me(AD) by my Father.(AE) No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.(AF)

28 “Come to me,(AG) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(AH) 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,(AI) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.(AJ) 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(AK)

John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus(A)

11 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to (B)teach and to preach in their cities.

(C)And when John had heard (D)in prison about the works of Christ, he [a]sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You (E)the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: (F)The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and (G)the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not (H)offended because of Me.”

(I)As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? (J)A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, (K)and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written:

(L)‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 (M)And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 (N)For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to receive it, he is (O)Elijah who is to come. 15 (P)He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

16 (Q)“But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, 17 and saying:

‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not [b]lament.’

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a [c]winebibber, (R)a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ (S)But wisdom is justified by her [d]children.”

Woe to the Impenitent Cities(T)

20 (U)Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago (V)in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say to you, (W)it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, (X)who[e] are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you (Y)that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”

Jesus Gives True Rest(Z)

25 (AA)At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that (AB)You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent (AC)and have revealed them to babes. 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 27 (AD)All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. (AE)Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to (AF)Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you (AG)and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and (AH)lowly in heart, (AI)and you will find rest for your souls. 30 (AJ)For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Messengers from John the Baptist

11 When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

(A)Now when John heard (B)in prison about the deeds of (C)the Christ, he sent word by (D)his disciples and said to him, “Are you (E)the one who is to come, or shall we (F)look for another?” And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: (G)the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers[a] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and (H)the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who (I)is not offended by me.”

As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out (J)into the wilderness to see? (K)A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? A man[b] dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. What then did you go out to see? (L)A prophet?[c] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written,

(M)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
    who will prepare your way before you.’

11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 (N)From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[d] and the violent take it by force. 13 (O)For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is (P)Elijah who is to come. 15 (Q)He who has ears to hear,[e] let him hear.

16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,

17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
    we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18 For John came (R)neither eating (S)nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came (T)eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (U)a friend of (V)tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”[f]

Woe to Unrepentant Cities

20 (W)Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 21 (X)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (Y)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 (Z)But I tell you, it will be more bearable on (AA)the day of judgment for (AB)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, (AC)Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to (AD)Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 (AE)But I tell you that (AF)it will be more tolerable on (AG)the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

25 (AH)At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, (AI)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AJ)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (AK)revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your (AL)gracious will.[g] 27 (AM)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son (AN)except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone (AO)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 (AP)Come to (AQ)me, all who labor and are (AR)heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and (AS)learn from me, for I am (AT)gentle and lowly in heart, and (AU)you will find rest for your souls. 30 For (AV)my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
