PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 11:19-26)

“VADER, U VERKIES HIERDIE MANIER VAN DOEN:”

19. “Ek, die Seun van die Mens, hou van gesellige maaltye. Ek eet en drink wyn. En julle sê: ‘Hy is ‘n vraat en ‘n dronklap, ‘n Vriend van die slegste soort sondaars.’ “Ja, die toets vir die wysheid is die resultate wat dit voortbring.”

20. Jesus het die dorpe waar die meeste van Sy wonderwerke plaasgevind het, ernstig aangespreek, omdat hulle, hulle nie bekeer het nie:

21. “Ellende wag vir jou, Gorasin! Ellende wag vir jou Betsaida! Want as in die nie-Joodse stede Tirus en Sidon, die wonderwerke plaasgevind het wat in julle plaasgevind het, sou hulle lankal sakke aangetrek het, en as op hulle koppe uitgestrooi het, om te wys dat hulle tot inkeer gekom het.

22. “Ek verseker julle dat dit vir Tirus en Sidon makliker sal wees op die oordeelsdag as vir julle.

23. “En jy Kapernaum, jy dink tog seker nie jy sal hemelhoog verhoog word nie? Die realiteit is dat jy in die doderyj sal beland. Want as in Sodom die wonderwerke plaasgevind het, wat in jou plaasgevind het, sou dit tot vandag toe bly voortbestaan het.

24. “Ek verseker jou, dit sal vir die land Sodom makliker wees op die oordeelsdag, as vir jou.”

25. Toe het Jesus hierdie gebed gebid: “Vader, Here van die hemel en die aarde, Ek sê vir U dankie dat U die insig in hierdie dinge, van die slimmes en intelligentes weerhou het, en dit oopgemaak het vir hulle wat soos kinders geword het.

26. “Ja Vader, want U verkies hierdie manier van doen.”

(Matthew 11:19-26)

“FATHER, FOR SUCH WAS YOUR GRACIOUS WILL:”

19. “The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and they say: ‘Look at Him! A glutton and a drunkard, a Friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ “Yet, wisdom is justified by her deeds”

20. Then He began to denounce the cities where most of His Mighty Works had been done, because they did not repent.

21. “Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the Mighty Works done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22. “But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgement, for Tyre and Sidon, than for you.

23. “And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the Mighty Works done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24. “But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgement for the land of Sodom, than for you.”

25. At that time Jesus declared: “I thank You Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You Have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children;

26. “yes Father, for such was Your gracious Will.”
