본문의 중심내용

한쪽 손 마른 사람을 고쳐준 사건으로 바리새인들은 예수님을 죽이기로 모의합니다. 예수님은 그곳을 떠나 병자들을 고치시며 경계하십니다. 

[ 마태복음 12:9 - 12:21 ] (찬송134장)

9거기에서 떠나 그들의 회당에 들어가시니 10한쪽 손 마른 사람이 있는지라 사람들이 예수를 고발하려 하여 물어 이르되 안식일에 병 고치는 것이 옳으니이까 11예수께서 이르시되 너희 중에 어떤 사람이 양 한 마리가 있어 안식일에 구덩이에 빠졌으면 끌어내지 않겠느냐 12사람이 양보다 얼마나 더 귀하냐 그러므로 안식일에 선을 행하는 것이 옳으니라 하시고 13이에 그 사람에게 이르시되 손을 내밀라 하시니 그가 내밀매 다른 손과 같이 회복되어 성하더라

 14바리새인들이 나가서 어떻게 하여 예수를 죽일까 의논하거늘

 15예수께서 아시고 거기를 떠나가시니 많은 사람이 따르는지라 예수께서 그들의 병을 다 고치시고 16자기를 나타내지 말라 경고하셨으니

 17이는 선지자 이사야를 통하여 말씀하신 바 18보라 내가 택한 종 곧 내 마음에 기뻐하는 바 내가 사랑하는 자로다 내가 내 영을 그에게 줄 터이니 그가 심판을 이방에 알게 하리라 19그는 다투지도 아니하며 들레지도 아니하리니 아무도 길에서 그 소리를 듣지 못하리라 20상한 갈대를 꺾지 아니하며 꺼져가는 심지를 끄지 아니하기를 심판하여 이길 때까지 하리니 21또한 이방들이 그의 이름을 바라리라 함을 이루려 하심이니라

[ Matthew 12:9 - 12:21 ]

9He went on from there and entered their synagogue.10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him.11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other.14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.15 Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all16 and ordered them not to make him known.17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;20 a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;21 and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

Jesus did not succumb to the threats of the Pharisees but gave rest to an afflicted man by healing his hand. The Pharisees, who regarded themselves the protectors of the Sabbath, responded by plotting to kill Jesus, who was the Lord of the Sabbath (vv. 13-14). Jesus did not confront them but escaped to a different village and performed miracles of healing the sick in secret so as to avoid another conflict (vv. 15-16). Jesus was acting as God’s beloved servant. This Jesus is the hope of the whole world (vv. 17-21). 

Who is God?

Vv. 17-21 Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God who corrects the crooked word. He will not stop until he gains victory through judgement and justice is established. He does not accomplish this through the ways of the world but through the ways of heaven, by quietly bearing the cross. Are you following the path of the cross taken by the Lord Jesus and standing with him on the side of the lowly?
