Whited sepulcher 白い墓 (マタイによる福音書 23:27)

聖書節

律法学者たちとファリサイ派の人々、あなたたち偽善者は不幸だ。白く塗った墓に似ているからだ。外側は美しく見えるが、内側は死者の骨やあらゆる汚れで満ちている。(マタイ 23:27)


意味

白い墓は偽善者のことです


起源と適用

イエスは、ファリサイ派の人々と律法を教える学者の偽善的な行動を批判して、「白い墓」と表現しました白い墓は白塗りの墓です。外は美しく、花や記念碑で飾られていますが、その中は汚いです。当時、ファリサイ派の人々と律法の教師は非常に尊敬され、額と腕に聖書の聖句が書かれた箱を身に着けていましたが、自分では説教したことを実践せず、心の中は腐敗し、邪悪でした。イエスは、これらの偽善者は非難されるべきであると言いました。
