15
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
3
The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4
Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
5
which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
6
Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
3
"But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
4
Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren't you children of disobedience, a seed of falsehood,
5
They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
10
To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen. Behold, the word of Yahweh has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
6
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; don't be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
18
When I tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20
Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.
3
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
5
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6
But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7
So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
20
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
24
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
34
You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
12
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
6
Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
11
How is it that you don't perceive that I didn't speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12
Then they understood that he didn't tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
15
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
23
On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
34
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
13
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
14
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
16
"Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
17
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
19
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living in it.
22
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
24
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
26
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
27
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
33
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna ?
3
(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4
They don't eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)
5
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
15
He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
13
They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
18
There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,
7
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don't begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn't bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
30
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
39
The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40
You foolish ones, didn't he who made the outside make the inside also?
41
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don't know it."
14
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
11
The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
24
The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
45
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"
46
The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"
47
The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?
48
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49
But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."
44
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
40
Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
1
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
17
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
5
But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."
31
Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn't cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
6
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"
7
When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9
A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let's not fight against God!"
5
having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
10
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
9
who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
10
when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
18
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
7
By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
10
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother.
16
They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17
for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
9
The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10
I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
- Le nom de pharisien signifie les "séparés," non qu'ils constituassent une secte dans la théocratie, mais, pour autant que ce terme indique leur caractère, il se rapporte plutôt à leur orgueilleuse aversion pour les païens, pour les Samaritains, pour les péagers et les pécheurs. Ils se distinguaient par leur zèle servile pour les plus minutieuses prescriptions de la loi, auxquelles ils ajoutaient celles de la tradition. Ils étaient aussi l'expression vivante de l'orthodoxie judaïque, ce qui, joint à leur pouvoir dans le sanhédrin, où ils étaient en majorité, leur donnait une grande influence sur le peuple. Quant aux doctrines de ce parti et à son importance politique et religieuse, on peut apprendre à les connaître par l'historien Josèphe qui y revient souvent et longuement. (Par exemple, Antiq., XIII, 5. 9, etc.) Le rôle que jouent les pharisiens dans la vie du Sauveur, surtout dans l'histoire de ses souffrances et de sa mort, les caractérise mieux encore.
- Les sadducéens, dont le nom dérive, selon les uns, du mot tsadik, juste selon les autres, d'un chef d'école nommé Tsadoc, formaient le parti opposé aux pharisiens. Rejetant toute tradition et même les développements de la révélation divine depuis la loi, les sadducéens niaient en même temps les réalités du monde invisible, l'existence des anges, l'immortalité de l'âme. A cause de cela, et en raison de leur petit nombre, ils exerçaient peu d'influence sur le peuple, mais d'autant plus sur les classes élevées et riches, où, pour plusieurs, certaines négations ont toujours un air de supériorité et de bon ton.
-Il y avait encore parmi les Juifs, au temps du Sauveur, un troisième parti religieux, les esséniens, dont le Nouveau Testament ne parle pas, parce qu'ils vivaient très retirés, le principal caractère de leur piété étant un rigoureux ascétisme. Ils représentaient le mysticisme monacal comme les pharisiens la propre justice orthodoxe comme les sadducéens le rationalisme de toutes les nuances. La vraie vie religieuse était alors retirée dans quelques âmes qui "attendaient la consolation d'Israël.," Luc 2.25
- Voir sur ces divers partis chez les Juifs, E. Stapfer, La Palestine au temps de Jésus-Christ, 2e Édit., p. 259 et suivants, 436 et suivants
On se demande comment et pourquoi plusieurs membres de ces deux partis venaient au baptême de Jean, et, s'ils y venaient, pourquoi Jean leur adresse des paroles si sévères. On a même vu une contradiction à cet égard entre Matthieu et Luc, qui, dans son récit du ministère du Baptiste (ch. 3), ne parle pas d'eux, et qui, ailleurs, (Luc 7.30) dit positivement qu'ils ne l'avaient pas reçu. La réponse à ces questions ne parait pas difficile. Que des hommes avides de popularité vinssent au prophète autour duquel se pressait la foule les uns pour ne pas paraître indifférents ou impies, les autres par simple curiosité, rien de plus naturel. Mais le prophète pénétrait leurs indignes mobiles de là les paroles sévères qu'il leur adresse. En les accueillant de la sorte, il les blessa dans leur orgueil ; ils se retirèrent, sinon tous, du moins pour la plupart, sans s'être soumis au baptême. Cela n'est pas dit expressément, mais cela résulte du discours du prophète. Il y a plus : Luc, sans parler des pharisiens et des sadducéens, rapporte les terribles paroles de Jean, qui ne pouvaient s'adresser qu'à eux, et non aux pécheurs repentants ; il suppose donc leur présence. Enfin cette position équivoque, prise par les hommes de ces deux partis à l'égard de Jean-Baptiste, s'accorde tout à fait avec l'embarras dans lequel une question du Sauveur les mettra plus tard. Matthieu 21.25-27
Hommes rusés, méchants, malfaisants. Image fréquente dans les Ecritures Esaïe 14.29 ; 59.5,Psaumes 58.5 ; Romains 3.13 et qui, dans la symbolique orientale indique les principes et l'esprit du prince des ténèbres. Comparer Genèse 3.1
Jean se défie de leur zèle apparent. Il démêle la ruse qui leur fait rechercher dans l'accomplissement d'une cérémonie extérieure une garantie contre le jugement à venir. "Dans cet essai d'éluder le devoir de la repentance au moyen du signe de la repentance Jean reconnaît la suggestion d'un conseiller plus habile que le cœur de l'homme ; de là la question suivante : Qui vous a montré ?" Godet.
Les Pharisiens se souciaient d’abord d’observer et de respecter le côté apparent de la piété, en négligeant les points les plus importants de la loi morale, et la signification spirituelle de leurs cérémonies légales. Certains d'entre eux étaient de détestables hypocrites, faisant de leurs prétentions à la sainteté, une parure inique.
Les sadducéens avaient une démarche tout à fait opposée, niant l'existence des esprits et d’une vie spirituelle future. Ils étaient à cette époque et dans ce pays, des « infidèles » méprisables.
Il y a inéluctablement une colère divine à venir. Chacun devrait chercher à la fuir. Dieu, qui ne prend aucun plaisir à notre ruine, nous a avertis à ce sujet ; Il nous prévient par Sa Parole, par Ses serviteurs, ainsi que par le biais de notre conscience. Ceux qui se disent désolés par le constat de leurs péchés, et qui cependant, persistent dans leurs voies, ne sont pas dignes d’être appelés des repentants, et n’ont de ce fait aucun privilège spirituel. Le véritable repentant est humble et abaissé à ses propres yeux, reconnaissant pour la moindre miséricorde qui lui est accordée, patient lors des afflictions sévères, vigilant contre toute apparence de péché, appliqué dans son devoir, et charitable quant aux jugements de son prochain.
Ce texte énonce une parole de prudence : ne pas se baser aveuglément sur des privilèges extérieurs acquis. Nous courons un grand danger quand nos cœurs tentent d’étouffer toute conviction de péché, en mettant de côté la Puissance révélatrice de la Parole de Dieu. On trouve de nombreuses personnes, qui, en se fiant abusivement sur les honneurs et les avantages que peuvent avoir les membres d'une église, sont en fait bien loin du ciel...
Ce texte contient une terrible menace à l’encontre de l'insouciant et de celui qui se croit faussement en sécurité. Nos cœurs corrompus ne peuvent, par nature, produire du bon fruit, à moins que l'Esprit régénérateur de Christ ne greffe en eux la perfection de la Parole de Dieu. Tout arbre, même le plus haut, le plus majestueux ou le plus verdoyant, qui ne produit pas de bon fruit, à savoir celui de la repentance, sera abattu et jeté dans le feu de la colère divine, l’endroit le plus propice pour recevoir les « plantes stériles » : à quoi d'autre pourrait-il servir ? S'il ne fournit aucun fruit, il sera un parfait combustible !
Jean annonce la venue de Christ, le rôle et les desseins de ce Dernier : cet avènement était imminent.
Notre comportement et notre apparence extérieure, ne peuvent aucunement nous rendre purs. Nulle ordonnance, quel qu’en soit l’auteur ou le mode, ne peut suppléer au besoin du baptême du Saint-Esprit et de feu. Seul le pouvoir purificateur du Saint-Esprit peut produire cette pureté de cœur et ces « saintes affections » qui accompagnent le salut ! C'est Christ qui baptise de l’Esprit Saint. C'est ce qu'Il a fait ne manière extraordinaire envers les apôtres, Actes 2:4. C'est ce qu'Il fait aussi dans les grâces et les réconforts octroyés par l'Esprit, à ceux qui le Lui demandent, Luc 11:13, Jean 7:38,39, Actes 11:16.
Observons ici que l'église des « Gentils » est « l'aire de battage » de Christ, Esa 21:10. Les véritables croyants sont comme le blé : substantiel, utile, et précieux ; les hypocrites sont comme une balle de paille : légers et vides, inutiles et sans valeur, emportés au loin par le moindre souffle ; le monde est constitué de « bons » et de « mauvais », tous dans le même cheminement ; un jour viendra, malgré tout, où le blé et la paille seront séparés...
Le dernier jugement sera un jour remarquable : les saints et les pécheurs seront séparés pour toujours. Dans le ciel, les saints seront rassemblés, ils ne seront plus jamais disséminés ; ils seront en sécurité, loin de tout danger, séparés de leurs voisins corrompus et esclaves de leurs vaines convoitises.
L'enfer est un feu inextinguible ; il sera certainement la « part » et la punition des hypocrites et des impies.
La vie et la mort, le bien et le mal, sont placés devant nous : selon notre conduite ici-bas, « dans le champ », nous serons alors étendus sur « l'aire de battage ».
