본문의 중심내용

종교지도자들은 표적을 요구하고 제자들은 예수님의 말씀을 오해하는 가운데, 베드로가 예수님을 ‘하나님의 아들’로 고백합니다.  

[ 마태복음 16:1 - 16:20 ] (찬송449장)

1바리새인과 사두개인들이 와서 예수를 시험하여 하늘로부터 오는 표적 보이기를 청하니

 2예수께서 대답하여 이르시되 너희가 저녁에 하늘이 붉으면 날이 좋겠다 하고 3아침에 하늘이 붉고 흐리면 오늘은 날이 궂겠다 하나니 너희가 날씨는 분별할 줄 알면서 시대의 표적은 분별할 수 없느냐 4악하고 음란한 세대가 표적을 구하나 요나의 표적 밖에는 보여 줄 표적이 없느니라 하시고 그들을 떠나 가시니라

 5제자들이 건너편으로 갈새 떡 가져가기를 잊었더니 6예수께서 이르시되 삼가 바리새인과 사두개인들의 누룩을 주의하라 하시니 7제자들이 서로 논의하여 이르되 우리가 떡을 가져오지 아니하였도다 하거늘 8예수께서 아시고 이르시되 믿음이 작은 자들아 어찌 떡이 없으므로 서로 논의하느냐 9너희가 아직도 깨닫지 못하느냐 떡 다섯 개로 오천 명을 먹이고 주운 것이 몇 바구니며 10떡 일곱 개로 사천 명을 먹이고 주운 것이 몇 광주리였는지를 기억하지 못하느냐 11어찌 내 말한 것이 떡에 관함이 아닌 줄을 깨닫지 못하느냐 오직 바리새인과 사두개인들의 누룩을 주의하라 하시니 12그제서야 제자들이 떡의 누룩이 아니요 바리새인과 사두개인들의 교훈을 삼가라고 말씀하신 줄을 깨달으니라

 13예수께서 빌립보 가이사랴 지방에 이르러 제자들에게 물어 이르시되 사람들이 인자를 누구라 하느냐 14이르되 더러는 침례 요한, 더러는 엘리야, 어떤 이는 예레미야나 선지자 중의 하나라 하나이다

 15이르시되 너희는 나를 누구라 하느냐 16시몬 베드로가 대답하여 이르되 주는 그리스도시요 살아 계신 하나님의 아들이시니이다

 17예수께서 대답하여 이르시되 바요나 시몬아 네가 복이 있도다 이를 네게 알게 한 이는 혈육이 아니요 하늘에 계신 내 아버지시니라 18또 내가 네게 이르노니 너는 베드로라 내가 이 반석 위에 내 교회를 세우리니 음부의 권세가 이기지 못하리라 19내가 천국 열쇠를 네게 주리니 네가 땅에서 무엇이든지 매면 하늘에서도 매일 것이요 네가 땅에서 무엇이든지 풀면 하늘에서도 풀리리라 하시고 20이에 제자들에게 경고하사 자기가 그리스도인 것을 아무에게도 이르지 말라 하시니라

[ Matthew 16:1 - 16:20 ]

1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.6 Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”7 And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?9 Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

When the religious leaders asked for a sign from heaven yet again, Jesus answered, "No sign will be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah (see 12:38-42)!" (vv. 1-4). Jesus told his disciples to be wary of the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees, namely of their hypocrisy and self-centred thinking (vv. 5-12). Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter confessed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus then declared that he would build his church upon this confession (vv. 13-20).

Who is Jesus?

Vv. 13-20 Jesus took Peter's confession of faith as the rock of the church. Those who confess Jesus is Christ just like Peter did are stacking one brick at a time upon this foundation. If Jesus were to ask you, "Who do you say I am?" what would you confess with all your heart?

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 5-12 In order to stop the spread of false teachings, we must stay away from them. We must be wary of any teaching that chokes our faith in a legalistic manner and permissive teachings that encourage us to take our faith lightly. Instead, we must walk alongside Jesus and his teachings only.

Prayer

Lord, may my confessions to you be more than just words; may they be evidence of a life and character shaped by you.
