Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 11:47-54

Every generation continues the wrong of their predecessor. They do not turn from the wicked ways of their ancestors. Ancestors killed the prophets and their descendants build monuments for the prophets. They continue the mistakes or they develop the mistakes into further greater wrongs.

The world is charged with the shedding of the blood of everyone from the foundation of the world. Everyone is responsible for the evil done in the world. No one can escape as innocent for the wrongs done in the world. In one way or the other everyone is responsible for the evil in the world.

முன்னோர் செய்த பாவத்திற்கு பின்வருபவர் உடன்படுகிறார்கள். முன்னோர் செய்த தவற்றை தொடர்கிறார்கள் அல்லது அதை உறுதிபடுத்துகிறார்கள். ஆகவே தீமைகள் அனைத்திற்கும் எதோ ஒரு வழியில் எல்லாரும் உடன்பட்டவர்களே.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 11:42-46

Jesus criticized the Pharisees and the scholars of the law. These two were the primary opponents of Jesus. There were also other groups like Sadducees. However these two were the prominent groups. Among the two, the Pharisees were the worst.

The Pharisees believed that their external piety would redeem them. So they multiplied the practices of piety and the like. The Scribes of the law multiplied the rules with the intention of making it practical and simpler. But they multiplied the rules to the extend people were not able to fulfill them.

பரிசேயரும் மறைநூல் அறிஞரும் இNயுசுவுக்கு எதிராக இருந்தார்கள். அவர்கள் பக்திமுயற்சிகளையும்> வெளிஅடையாளங்களையும்> விவிலிய விளக்கங்களையும் முன்வைத்தார்கள் ஆனால் கடவுளையும் மக்களையும் மறந்தார்கள்.
