The Bible Says
马可福音 12:38-40 含义

耶稣在耶路撒冷-这座古城是以色列人敬拜和治理的中心,其历史可以追溯到公元前1010年左右,当时大卫王定都耶路撒冷-教导时,祂发出了严肃的警告:祂在教导中说道:“你们要防备文士,他们喜欢穿长袍四处走动,又喜欢在街市上问人的安(38节)。”耶稣在这里揭露了某些文士如何将公众声望置于真正的虔诚之上。他们的长袍象征着地位和认可,他们喜欢别人恭敬地向他们问安,寻求在平凡的领域中抬高自己,而不是在上帝面前谦卑自己。通过告诫人们要提防这样的领袖,耶稣强调了将仪式置于真诚信仰之上的潜在危险。

他继续描述文士对社会地位的追求,说他们渴望在会堂里占据高位,在筵席上占据首位(第39节)。会堂是犹太人在中央圣殿之外的礼拜场所,遍布以色列的城镇,是诵读圣经和祷告的场所。在这些宗教场所占据最佳座位被视为尊贵的标志。同样,在节日聚餐中占据显赫的位置也强化了他们的权利感和优越感。耶稣通过这一教导强调,公义不能用地位或外在的崇敬来衡量,而要用一种谦卑的精神来尊崇上帝胜过自我。

最后,耶稣严肃地指出了文士们宗教伪装所掩盖的道德败坏:他们侵吞寡妇的家产,为了面子而作冗长的祷告;这些人要受更重的刑罚(40节)。寡妇是社会中最弱势的群体之一,她们常常被那些为了个人利益而歪曲法律和宗教习俗的人利用。文士们那些华丽的祷告并非虔诚的证明,而是影响大众的手段。

詹姆斯还指出,教师的评判将更加严格:

“我的弟兄们,不要多人作师傅,因为晓得这样会受更重的审判。”
(雅各书 3:1)

耶稣警告那些滥用属灵权威谋取私利的人,他们将遭受更严厉的审判,并教导我们,上帝的鉴察直指人心。如同耶稣谴责虚伪的其他经文(参见马太福音23章)一样,这一刻提醒基督的追随者要爱护和保护那些无助的人,将怜悯之心融入祷告和行动之中。
