3. 어떤 서기관들이 속으로 이르되 이 사람이 참람하도다
3. At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”
4. 예수께서 그 생각을 아시고 가라사대 너희가 어찌하여 마음에 악한 생각을 하느냐
4. Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
Evil thoughts and judgment seem to come out of our sinful nature and pride that we know well of something and we are perfectly right. The ones who have more possibilities of these characteristics are teachers and so-called leaders, I think.
In this viewpoint, I am one of the most vulnerable ones, because I have taught students English for a long time and I have been teaching bible to adults, including my two young adults.
Therefore, i realize that i often have been entertaining evil thoughts. I think that this expression is very good, in a way that I was enjoying the sinful thought of judging others with hatred.
Blissfully, I could get out of those thoughts by knowing that I was entertaining the evil thoughts and hurting myself emotionally and spiritually.
I am very thankful for Jesus who became my Savior of my soul, and the Holy Spirit who becomes my personal doctor of my mind, and the Father who loves me, who was a sinner.
