The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
183:0.1 (1971.1)
AFTER Jesus had finally awakened Peter, James, and John, he suggested that they go to their tents and seek sleep in preparation for the duties of the morrow. But by this time the three apostles were wide awake; they had been refreshed by their short naps, and besides, they were stimulated and aroused by the arrival on the scene of two excited messengers who inquired for David Zebedee and quickly went in quest of him when Peter informed them where he kept watch.
183:0.2 (1971.2)
Although eight of the apostles were sound asleep, the Greeks who were encamped alongside them were more fearful of trouble, so much so that they had posted a sentinel to give the alarm in case danger should arise. When these two messengers hurried into camp, the Greek sentinel proceeded to arouse all of his fellow countrymen, who streamed forth from their tents, fully dressed and fully armed. All the camp was now aroused except the eight apostles. Peter desired to call his associates, but Jesus definitely forbade him. The Master mildly admonished them all to return to their tents, but they were reluctant to comply with his suggestion.
주님은 따르는 자들을 해산시키지 못하고, 그들을 떠나서 겟세마네 공원 입구 근처에 감람유 압축기가 있는 곳으로 내려갔다. 세 사도와 그리스인 그리고 야영지에 있던 다른 사람들은 즉시 그를 따르지 못하고 망설였으나, 요한 마가는 급히 일어나서 감람나무 숲을 돌아 내려갔고, 감람유 압축기 옆 작은 창고에 숨었다. 예수께서는, 체포하러 오는 자들이 도착했을 때, 사도들을 혼란시키지 않고 자신을 붙잡을 수 있도록, 야영지와 친구들로부터 떠났던 것이다. 주님은, 사도들이 깨어 있다가, 자신이 잡힐 때 유다가 배반하는 장면에 심한 증오심이 발동되어 병사들에게 대항하는 과정에서, 자신과 함께 체포되지나 않을까하여 심히 걱정했다. 그들이 함께 붙잡히면 자신과 함께 죽을까 염려했다.
183:0.3 (1971.3)
Failing to disperse his followers, the Master left them and walked down toward the olive press near the entrance to Gethsemane Park. Although the three apostles, the Greeks, and the other members of the camp hesitated immediately to follow him, John Mark hastened around through the olive trees and secreted himself in a small shed near the olive press. Jesus withdrew from the camp and from his friends in order that his apprehenders, when they arrived, might arrest him without disturbing his apostles. The Master feared to have his apostles awake and present at the time of his arrest lest the spectacle of Judas’s betraying him should so arouse their animosity that they would offer resistance to the soldiers and would be taken into custody with him. He feared that, if they should be arrested with him, they might also perish with him.
183:0.4 (1971.4)
Though Jesus knew that the plan for his death had its origin in the councils of the rulers of the Jews, he was also aware that all such nefarious schemes had the full approval of Lucifer, Satan, and Caligastia. And he well knew that these rebels of the realms would also be pleased to see all of the apostles destroyed with him.
주님이 육신을 입은 생애를 마치는 것과 관련된 수많은 말과 많은 사건의 의미를 사람들이 오해할 수 있는 큰 위험성이 있다. 무지한 종들과 냉담한 병사들이 예수를 잔인하게 다룬 것, 그를 심리{審理}할 때 불공평하게 처리한 것, 그리고 거짓 종교 지도자들의 무감각한 태도를, 이런 모든 수난과 굴욕을 예수께서 인내심으로 감수하면서, 낙원에 계시는 아버지의 뜻을 참되게 행했다는 사실과 혼동해서는 결코 안 된다. 탄생부터 죽음까지, 아들이 필사 체험의 잔을 끝까지 마시는 것이 아버지의 뜻이었던 것이 정말로 사실이었지만, 개화됐을 것으로 추측됐으나 주님을 그토록 혹독하게 고문하고, 저항하지 않는 그의 신체에 아주 끔찍한 모욕을 계속 퍼부은 인간의 야만적인 습성을 부추길만한 어떤 것이든지, 하늘에 계신 아버지와는 아무 상관이 없었다. 예수께서 필사자 생애의 마지막 시간들 동안 겪어야했던 비인간적이고 충격적인 이 체험은, 어떤 면에서도 아버지의 신성한 뜻과 상관이 없었으며, 그것은 지친 사도들이 육체적 피로 속에 잠들어있는 동안 그가 동산에서 드렸던 삼중적{三重的} 기도에 나타난 바와 같이, 사람이 하나님께 최종 항복하는 순간에, 그의 인간 본성이 그렇게 하기로 그토록 위풍당당하게 맹세한 것이었다.
183:1.1 (1971.6)
There is great danger of misunderstanding the meaning of numerous sayings and many events associated with the termination of the Master’s career in the flesh. The cruel treatment of Jesus by the ignorant servants and the calloused soldiers, the unfair conduct of his trials, and the unfeeling attitude of the professed religious leaders, must not be confused with the fact that Jesus, in patiently submitting to all this suffering and humiliation, was truly doing the will of the Father in Paradise. It was, indeed and in truth, the will of the Father that his Son should drink to the full the cup of mortal experience, from birth to death, but the Father in heaven had nothing whatever to do with instigating the barbarous behavior of those supposedly civilized human beings who so brutally tortured the Master and so horribly heaped successive indignities upon his nonresisting person. These inhuman and shocking experiences which Jesus was called upon to endure in the final hours of his mortal life were not in any sense a part of the divine will of the Father, which his human nature had so triumphantly pledged to carry out at the time of the final surrender of man to God as signified in the threefold prayer which he indited in the garden while his weary apostles slept the sleep of physical exhaustion.
하늘에 계신 아버지께서는, 모든 필사자가 육신을 입고 이 세상 생애를 마쳐야하는 것과 똑같이, 증여된 아들도 세상에서 생애를 자연스럽게 마치기를 바라셨다. 평범한 남녀는, 이 세상에서 언제 마지막 순간을 맞이할지, 그리고 특별 섭리시대가 죽음을 편하게 만들어주는 사건이 언제 일어날지 예상할 수 없다. 따라서, 예수께서는 사건들이 자연스럽게 풀려나가는 것과 보조를 맞추어 육신의 삶을 마치기로 결정했으며, 믿을 수 없을 만큼의 굴욕과 수치를 당하도록, 끔찍히 확실하게 엄습하고 있는 비인간적 사건을 꾸미는 사악한 음모의 잔인한 마수{魔手}로부터 자신을 구해내기를, 단호히 거절했다. 그리고 이렇게 놀라울 정도로 증오심을 표현하고, 전례 없이 잔인성을 과시하는 모든 과정은, 악한 사람과 사악한 필사자들이 꾸민 것이었다. 하늘에 계신 하나님은 그렇게 되기를 원치 않으셨고, 예수의 대적들이 그렇게 지시하지도 않았으나, 경솔하고 악한 필사자들이 증여 아들을 이렇게 거부할 것을 보장하려고, 그들은 많은 일을 했다. 죄의 아비조차, 십자가형이라는 끔찍하고 혐오스런 장면을 보지 않으려고 얼굴을 돌렸다.
183:1.2 (1972.1)
The Father in heaven desired the bestowal Son to finish his earth career naturally, just as all mortals must finish up their lives on earth and in the flesh. Ordinary men and women cannot expect to have their last hours on earth and the supervening episode of death made easy by a special dispensation. Accordingly, Jesus elected to lay down his life in the flesh in the manner which was in keeping with the outworking of natural events, and he steadfastly refused to extricate himself from the cruel clutches of a wicked conspiracy of inhuman events which swept on with horrible certainty toward his unbelievable humiliation and ignominious death. And every bit of all this astounding manifestation of hatred and this unprecedented demonstration of cruelty was the work of evil men and wicked mortals. God in heaven did not will it, neither did the archenemies of Jesus dictate it, though they did much to insure that unthinking and evil mortals would thus reject the bestowal Son. Even the father of sin turned his face away from the excruciating horror of the scene of the crucifixion.
마지막 만찬을 나누다가 갑자기 식탁을 떠난 유다는, 곧바로 사촌 집으로 갔고, 그다음에 두 사람은 곧장 성전 경비대 대장에게 갔다. 유다는 그 대장에게 경비병을 모으도록 요청했고, 자신이 이들을 예수께 안내할 준비가 됐음을 그에게 알렸다. 예상보다 조금 일찍 유다가 현장에 나타났음에도 마가의 집으로 출발하는 일이 조금 지체됐는데, 유다는 그 집에서 아직 사도들과 이야기하고 있는 예수를 만나리라 기대했다. 주님과 열한 사도는, 그 배반자와 경비병들이 도착하기 15분 전에 엘리야 마가의 집을 떠났다. 체포하러 온 사람들이 마가의 집에 도착할 무렵에, 예수와 열한 사도는 성벽 밖에 있었고, 감람원 야영지로 가고 있었다.
183:2.1 (1972.2)
After Judas so abruptly left the table while eating the Last Supper, he went directly to the home of his cousin, and then did the two go straight to the captain of the temple guards. Judas requested the captain to assemble the guards and informed him that he was ready to lead them to Jesus. Judas having appeared on the scene a little before he was expected, there was some delay in getting started for the Mark home, where Judas expected to find Jesus still visiting with the apostles. The Master and the eleven left the home of Elijah Mark fully fifteen minutes before the betrayer and the guards arrived. By the time the apprehenders reached the Mark home, Jesus and the eleven were well outside the walls of the city and on their way to the Olivet camp.
유다는 마가의 집에서 열한 사도와 함께 있는 예수를 발견하지 못하자 크게 당황했는데, 그들 가운데 두 사람만이 대항할 수 있는 무기를 지니고 있었다. 그들이 오후에 야영지를 떠났을 때, 유다는 시몬 베드로와 열심당 시몬만이 칼을 차고 있다는 것을 우연히 알게 됐으며;유다는 그 성이 조용하고 반항할 기회가 거의 없을 때 예수를 붙잡기를 기대했다. 배반자는, 그들이 야영지로 돌아갈 때까지 기다린다면, 60명 넘는 헌신된 제자가 합세하게 될 것을 염려했으며, 열심당 시몬이 수중에 많은 무기를 숨기고 있다는 것도 알았다. 유다는, 충성스런 열한 사도가 자기를 얼마나 증오하게 될지 곰곰이 생각하면서 점차 조바심이 났고, 그들이 모두 자기를 죽이려할 것이라는 생각에 두려워했다. 그는 불충할 뿐만 아니라 정말로 겁쟁이였다.
183:2.2 (1972.3)
Judas was much perturbed by this failure to find Jesus at the Mark residence and in the company of eleven men, only two of whom were armed for resistance. He happened to know that, in the afternoon when they had left camp, only Simon Peter and Simon Zelotes were girded with swords; Judas had hoped to take Jesus when the city was quiet, and when there was little chance of resistance. The betrayer feared that, if he waited for them to return to their camp, more than threescore of devoted disciples would be encountered, and he also knew that Simon Zelotes had an ample store of arms in his possession. Judas was becoming increasingly nervous as he meditated how the eleven loyal apostles would detest him, and he feared they would all seek to destroy him. He was not only disloyal, but he was a real coward at heart.
다락방에서 예수를 발견하지 못하자, 유다는 경비 대장에게 성전으로 돌아가자고 요청했다. 이때 관리들은, 배신자와 맺은 협정에 따라 그날 밤중까지는 예수를 체포하리라고 예상하면서, 예수를 넘겨받을 준비를 하려고 대제사장의 집에 모이기 시작했다. 유다는, 마가의 집에서는 이미 예수를 놓쳤고, 겟세마네로 가서 그를 체포해야할 필요가 있다고 자기 일당들에게 설명했다. 배반자는 그때, 60명 넘는 헌신된 제자가 그와 함께 야영하고 있으며, 그들이 모두 단단히 무장하고 있다는 것을 추가로 설명했다. 유대인 관리들은 예수가 항상 무저항주의를 전파하지 않았느냐고 유다에게 말했지만, 유다는 예수를 따르는 자 전부가 그의 가르침에 복종할 수는 없다고 대답했다. 그는 정말로 자기 몸을 염려했으므로, 무장된 병사 40명이 필요하다고 강력하게 요청했다. 유대인 권세자들은, 자기네 수하에 그만큼의 무장된 병사가 없었으므로, 즉시 안토니아 요새로 가서, 이 경비병들을 내어달라고 로마 지휘관에게 요청했으나;그들이 예수를 체포하려한다는 것을 알아차리자, 지휘관은 그 요청을 재빨리 거절했으며, 상관에게 물어보라고 권했다. 이런 식으로 해서, 무장된 로마 병사들을 대동할 수 있도록 허락 받기 위해, 결국 빌라도에게 갈 수밖에 없게 될 때까지, 이 사람에서 저 사람에게로 가면서 한 시간 이상 소모됐다. 그들이 빌라도의 집에 도착했을 때는 늦은 시간이었고, 아내와 함께 사택으로 퇴근한 후였다. 그는 그 계획에 개입하기를 꺼렸는데, 무엇보다도 그 요청을 허락하지 말라고 아내가 부탁했기 때문이다. 그러나 유대인 산헤드린을 관장하는 관원이 와서 협조해 달라고 직접 요청했으므로, 총독은 나중에 어떤 문제가 생기면 그들의 추궁을 받을 수 있다는 생각에서, 그 요청을 들어주는 것이 현명하겠다고 판단했다.
183:2.3 (1973.1)
When they failed to find Jesus in the upper chamber, Judas asked the captain of the guard to return to the temple. By this time the rulers had begun to assemble at the high priest’s home preparatory to receiving Jesus, seeing that their bargain with the traitor called for Jesus’ arrest by midnight of that day. Judas explained to his associates that they had missed Jesus at the Mark home, and that it would be necessary to go to Gethsemane to arrest him. The betrayer then went on to state that more than threescore devoted followers were encamped with him, and that they were all well armed. The rulers of the Jews reminded Judas that Jesus had always preached nonresistance, but Judas replied that they could not depend upon all Jesus’ followers obeying such teaching. He really feared for himself and therefore made bold to ask for a company of forty armed soldiers. Since the Jewish authorities had no such force of armed men under their jurisdiction, they went at once to the fortress of Antonia and requested the Roman commander to give them this guard; but when he learned that they intended to arrest Jesus, he promptly refused to accede to their request and referred them to his superior officer. In this way more than an hour was consumed in going from one authority to another until they finally were compelled to go to Pilate himself in order to obtain permission to employ the armed Roman guards. It was late when they arrived at Pilate’s house, and he had retired to his private chambers with his wife. He hesitated to have anything to do with the enterprise, all the more so since his wife had asked him not to grant the request. But inasmuch as the presiding officer of the Jewish Sanhedrin was present and making personal request for this assistance, the governor thought it wise to grant the petition, thinking he could later on right any wrong they might be disposed to commit.
무장한 병사와 경비병들로 구성된 이 부대가 등과 횃불을 들고 공원으로 갈 때, 유다는 예수를 재빨리 식별해서, 동역자들이 그를 방어하려고 모이기 전에, 체포하러 온 자들이 먼저 그를 쉽게 붙잡을 수 있게 하려고, 무리보다 조금 앞에서 걸어갔다. 그리고 유다가 주님을 대적하는 자들 앞에서 가기로 결정한 데는 또 다른 이유가 있었는데:예수 주변에 모인 다른 사람들과 사도들이, 바로 뒤에 따라온 무장한 경비병들과 자기를 직접 연관시키지 못하도록 하기 위해, 병사들이 그 자리에 도착했을 때 자기는 이미 거기에 와있었던 것처럼 보일 생각이었다. 유다는 마치 체포하려는 자들이 오고 있음을 알려주려고 급히 오는 것처럼 보일 생각조차 했으나, 배반자의 희망을 꺾어버리는 예수의 인사 때문에 그 계획은 수포로 돌아갔다. 유다에게 다정하게 말씀했지만, 그는 배신자로서 주님께 인사했다.
183:3.1 (1973.3)
As this company of armed soldiers and guards, carrying torches and lanterns, approached the garden, Judas stepped well out in front of the band that he might be ready quickly to identify Jesus so that the apprehenders could easily lay hands on him before his associates could rally to his defense. And there was yet another reason why Judas chose to be ahead of the Master’s enemies: He thought it would appear that he had arrived on the scene ahead of the soldiers so that the apostles and others gathered about Jesus might not directly connect him with the armed guards following so closely upon his heels. Judas had even thought to pose as having hastened out to warn them of the coming of the apprehenders, but this plan was thwarted by Jesus’ blighting greeting of the betrayer. Though the Master spoke to Judas kindly, he greeted him as a traitor.
183:3.2 (1973.4)
As soon as Peter, James, and John, with some thirty of their fellow campers, saw the armed band with torches swing around the brow of the hill, they knew that these soldiers were coming to arrest Jesus, and they all rushed down to near the olive press where the Master was sitting in moonlit solitude. As the company of soldiers approached on one side, the three apostles and their associates approached on the other. As Judas strode forward to accost the Master, there the two groups stood, motionless, with the Master between them and Judas making ready to impress the traitorous kiss upon his brow.
183:3.3 (1974.1)
It had been the hope of the betrayer that he could, after leading the guards to Gethsemane, simply point Jesus out to the soldiers, or at most carry out the promise to greet him with a kiss, and then quickly retire from the scene. Judas greatly feared that the apostles would all be present, and that they would concentrate their attack upon him in retribution for his daring to betray their beloved teacher. But when the Master greeted him as a betrayer, he was so confused that he made no attempt to flee.
예수께서는, 배신자가 자신에게 다가오기 전에, 유다를 구하려고 마지막으로 한 번 더 애썼는데, 한쪽 편 비탈로 걸어가서, 로마 병사들의 대장인, 왼쪽 맨 앞에 있는 병사에게 말씀했다:“너희가 누구를 찾느냐?” 그 대장은, “나사렛 예수라”고 대답했다. 그러자 예수께서 즉시 그 장교 앞으로 가서, 이 모든 창조 세계의 하나님이 지닌 평온한 위엄으로 거기에 선 채, “내가 그라”고 말씀했다. 무장한 이 무리 가운데 다수는 성전에서 예수의 가르침을 들은 적이 있었고, 더러는 그의 대단한 행적에 대해 알았으며, 그가 자기 신분을 분명히 말씀하는 것을 듣자, 앞줄에 있던 자들이 갑자기 뒤로 물러났다. 그가 평온하고 위엄 있게 자기 신분을 밝히는 것에, 그들은 크게 놀랐다. 따라서, 유다는 배반하려던 계획을 계속 추진할 필요가 없게 됐다. 주님은 대적하는 자들에게 자신을 분명히 나타냈고, 그들은 유다의 도움 없이도 그를 체포할 수 있게 됐다. 그러나 배신자는 무장한 무리와 함께 나타난 자신을 위하여 뭔가 해야 했으며, 게다가 그는 예수를 그들의 손에 넘겨주겠다는 약속에 대한 보상으로, 푸짐하게 수여될 큰 상과 명예에 걸맞게 하기 위해, 유대인 관리들과 맺은 배반 협정에서 자기 역할을 돋보이게 할 수 있는 장면을 연출하고자 했다.
183:3.4 (1974.2)
Jesus made one last effort to save Judas from actually betraying him in that, before the traitor could reach him, he stepped to one side and, addressing the foremost soldier on the left, the captain of the Romans, said, “Whom do you seek?” The captain answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Then Jesus stepped up immediately in front of the officer and, standing there in the calm majesty of the God of all this creation, said, “I am he.” Many of this armed band had heard Jesus teach in the temple, others had learned about his mighty works, and when they heard him thus boldly announce his identity, those in the front ranks fell suddenly backward. They were overcome with surprise at his calm and majestic announcement of identity. There was, therefore, no need for Judas to go on with his plan of betrayal. The Master had boldly revealed himself to his enemies, and they could have taken him without Judas’s assistance. But the traitor had to do something to account for his presence with this armed band, and besides, he wanted to make a show of carrying out his part of the betrayal bargain with the rulers of the Jews in order to be eligible for the great reward and honors which he believed would be heaped upon him in compensation for his promise to deliver Jesus into their hands.
183:3.5 (1974.3)
As the guards rallied from their first faltering at the sight of Jesus and at the sound of his unusual voice, and as the apostles and disciples drew nearer, Judas stepped up to Jesus and, placing a kiss upon his brow, said, “Hail, Master and Teacher.” And as Judas thus embraced his Master, Jesus said, “Friend, is it not enough to do this! Would you even betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
183:3.6 (1974.4)
The apostles and disciples were literally stunned by what they saw. For a moment no one moved. Then Jesus, disengaging himself from the traitorous embrace of Judas, stepped up to the guards and soldiers and again asked, “Whom do you seek?” And again the captain said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” And again answered Jesus: “I have told you that I am he. If, therefore, you seek me, let these others go their way. I am ready to go with you.”
예수께서는 경비병들과 함께 예루살렘으로 돌아갈 준비가 됐고, 병사들의 지휘관은 세 사도와 그 동역자들이 평안히 돌아가게 할 생각이었다. 그러나 그들이 출발할 준비를 갖추기 전에, 예수께서 지휘관의 명령을 기다리면서 서있을 때, 대제사장 호위병인 말고라 하는 시리아인이 예수 앞으로 나왔고, 로마인 지휘관이 예수를 그렇게 묶으라고 명령하지 않았음에도, 그의 손을 뒤로 묶으려했다. 주님이 이런 모욕적인 대우를 받게 되려는 모습을 본 베드로와 동역자들은 더 이상 참을 수 없었다. 베드로가 칼을 꺼내서 다른 사람들과 함께 말고를 죽이려고 달려 나갔다. 그러나 대제사장의 하인을 보호하려고 병사들이 나서기 전에, 예수께서 손을 들어 베드로를 말리고, 엄하게 꾸짖으면서 말씀했다:“베드로야, 칼을 칼집에 꽂으라. 칼을 잡는 자는 칼로 망한다. 내가 이 잔을 마시는 것이 아버지 뜻임을 깨닫지 못하느냐? 내가 지금이라도 열두 군단{軍團} 넘는 천사와 그 동역자들에게 명령을 내려서, 이런 몇몇 사람의 손에서 나를 구하도록 할 수 있음을 모르겠느냐?”
183:3.7 (1974.5)
Jesus was ready to go back to Jerusalem with the guards, and the captain of the soldiers was altogether willing to allow the three apostles and their associates to go their way in peace. But before they were able to get started, as Jesus stood there awaiting the captain’s orders, one Malchus, the Syrian bodyguard of the high priest, stepped up to Jesus and made ready to bind his hands behind his back, although the Roman captain had not directed that Jesus should be thus bound. When Peter and his associates saw their Master being subjected to this indignity, they were no longer able to restrain themselves. Peter drew his sword and with the others rushed forward to smite Malchus. But before the soldiers could come to the defense of the high priest’s servant, Jesus raised a forbidding hand to Peter and, speaking sternly, said: “Peter, put up your sword. They who take the sword shall perish by the sword. Do you not understand that it is the Father’s will that I drink this cup? And do you not further know that I could even now command more than twelve legions of angels and their associates, who would deliver me from the hands of these few men?”
183:3.8 (1975.1)
While Jesus thus effectively put a stop to this show of physical resistance by his followers, it was enough to arouse the fear of the captain of the guards, who now, with the help of his soldiers, laid heavy hands on Jesus and quickly bound him. And as they tied his hands with heavy cords, Jesus said to them: “Why do you come out against me with swords and with staves as if to seize a robber? I was daily with you in the temple, publicly teaching the people, and you made no effort to take me.”
예수께서 묶이고 나자, 주님의 제자들이 그를 구하려고 대들 것을 염려하여, 지휘관이 그들을 체포하라고 명령했으나;체포하라는 지휘관의 명령을 들은 예수의 제자들이 급히 골짜기로 달아났으므로, 병사들은 속히 행동을 취하지 못했다. 요한 마가는 근처의 외딴 창고에서 그동안 내내 남아있었다. 경비병들이 예수와 함께 예루살렘으로 돌아가려하자, 요한 마가는 도망가는 사도들과 제자들을 따라잡으려고 창고에서 몰래 빠져나오려했지만;그가 일어나는 순간, 도망가는 제자들을 쫓아갔다가 돌아오는 병사들 중에서 마지막 사람이 가까이 지나가고 있었고, 외투를 걸친 이 아이를 발견하고 쫓아왔으며, 거의 잡힐 뻔했다. 사실, 그 병사는 요한 마가를 따라와서 그의 외투를 손으로 잡을 수 있었지만, 그 아이는 외투를 벗어 던졌고, 그 병사가 빈 외투를 들고 있는 동안, 벗은 채로 도망쳤다. 요한 마가는, 위쪽 오솔길에 있는 다윗 세베대를 향해, 있는 힘을 다해서 달려갔다. 그가 일어났던 일을 다윗에게 말한 후에, 그들은 사도들이 잠들어있는 천막으로 서둘러 함께 돌아갔고, 예수께서 배반당하고 체포됐음을 여덟 사도 모두에게 알렸다.
183:3.9 (1975.2)
When Jesus had been bound, the captain, fearing that the followers of the Master might attempt to rescue him, gave orders that they be seized; but the soldiers were not quick enough since, having overheard the captain’s orders to arrest them, Jesus’ followers fled in haste back into the ravine. All this time John Mark had remained secluded in the near-by shed. When the guards started back to Jerusalem with Jesus, John Mark attempted to steal out of the shed in order to catch up with the fleeing apostles and disciples; but just as he emerged, one of the last of the returning soldiers who had pursued the fleeing disciples was passing near and, seeing this young man in his linen coat, gave chase, almost overtaking him. In fact, the soldier got near enough to John to lay hold upon his coat, but the young man freed himself from the garment, escaping naked while the soldier held the empty coat. John Mark made his way in all haste to David Zebedee on the upper trail. When he had told David what had happened, they both hastened back to the tents of the sleeping apostles and informed all eight of the Master’s betrayal and arrest.
여덟 사도가 잠에서 깰 무렵에, 골짜기로 달아났던 사람들이 돌아왔고, 그들은 모두 감람유 압축기 근처에 모여서, 무엇을 할 것인지 의논했다. 한편, 감람나무 숲 속에 숨어있던 시몬 베드로와 요한 세베대는, 병사와 경비병 및 하인들 무리를 이미 뒤따라갔고, 저희는 마치 지독한 죄인을 끌고 가는 것처럼 예수를 예루살렘으로 호송하여 돌아갔다. 요한은 무리 뒤에서 가까이 따라갔으나, 베드로는 멀리 떨어져서 따라갔다. 병사의 손아귀에서 벗어난 후에, 요한 마가는 시몬 베드로와 요한 세베대의 천막에서 발견한 외투를 입었다. 그는 경비병들이 예수를 데리고, 은퇴한 대제사장인 안나스의 집으로 가고 있을 것이라고 짐작했으며;그리하여 감람나무 과수원 담을 따라 돌아가서 그 무리 앞으로 갔고, 대제사장의 저택 대문 입구 근처에 숨었다.
183:3.10 (1975.3)
At about the time the eight apostles were being awakened, those who had fled up the ravine were returning, and they all gathered together near the olive press to debate what should be done. In the meantime, Simon Peter and John Zebedee, who had hidden among the olive trees, had already gone on after the mob of soldiers, guards, and servants, who were now leading Jesus back to Jerusalem as they would have led a desperate criminal. John followed close behind the mob, but Peter followed afar off. After John Mark’s escape from the clutch of the soldier, he provided himself with a cloak which he found in the tent of Simon Peter and John Zebedee. He suspected the guards were going to take Jesus to the home of Annas, the high priest emeritus; so he skirted around through the olive orchards and was there ahead of the mob, hiding near the entrance to the gate of the high priest’s palace.
안드레는 동료 사도 전체의 활동을 관장하는 모든 의무에서 벗어났으며;따라서, 그들의 일생 가운데 가장 큰 위기 속에서, 아무 말도 하지 않았다. 잠시 비공식 토의를 한 후에, 열심당 시몬이 감람유 압축기의 돌담 앞에 일어서서, 주님과 천국의 대의를 위하여 충성하자고 감동적으로 열변을 토했으며, 속히 무리를 따라가서 예수를 구출하자고, 동료 사도와 다른 제자들에게 간곡히 요청했다. 시몬이 말을 마치자마자 나다니엘이 일어서서, 무저항에 대해 여러 번 반복한 예수의 교훈에 주의를 기울이도록 충고하지 않았다면, 대부분의 사람은 그의 공격적 주동에 가담하려고 했을 것이다. 또한 그는 더 나아가서, 바로 그날 밤에 했던, 하늘나라의 복음이라는 기쁜 소식을 세상에 전파할 때를 위해, 그들이 생명을 유지해야한다는 예수의 지시를 상기시켰다. 그리고 나다니엘은 이런 입장에 대한 야고보 세베대의 지지로 용기를 얻었는데, 야고보는 이때, 베드로와 다른 사람들이 칼을 빼들고 예수의 체포를 막으려했으나, 예수께서 시몬 베드로와 동료 검객들에게 칼을 칼집에 넣으라고 명령했던 상황을 설명했다. 마태와 빌립도 한 마디 했으나, 예수께서 나사로에게 죽음을 자초하는 일이 있어서는 안 된다고 충고했던 사실을 도마가 상기시킬 때까지, 어떤 결론도 내리지 못했는데, 도마는, 주님이 친구들에게 주님 자신을 방어하도록 허락하지 않는 한, 그리고 그를 대적하는 인간들을 쳐부수기 위하여 그가 신의 권능을 여전히 발휘하지 않기 때문에, 그를 보호하기 위하여 자신들이 할 수 있는 일은 아무것도 없다고 지적했다. 도마는, 그 모임을 위하여 소식을 전달하고 심부름꾼을 운영할 수 있도록 다윗 세베대가 야영지에 남아있을 것이므로, 각자 자신을 위하여 흩어져있는 것이 낫겠다고 설득했다. 같은 날 새벽 두 시 반쯤에 야영지에는 아무도 남지 않았으며;다윗만이 서너 명의 심부름꾼과 함께 남았고, 예수께서 어디로 끌려갔고 그에게 무슨 일이 일어나는지 확실히 알아오도록, 다른 심부름꾼들을 파견했다.
183:4.2 (1975.5)
Andrew had been released from all responsibility in the group management of his fellow apostles; accordingly, in this greatest of all crises in their lives, he was silent. After a short informal discussion, Simon Zelotes stood up on the stone wall of the olive press and, making an impassioned plea for loyalty to the Master and the cause of the kingdom, exhorted his fellow apostles and the other disciples to hasten on after the mob and effect the rescue of Jesus. The majority of the company would have been disposed to follow his aggressive leadership had it not been for the advice of Nathaniel, who stood up the moment Simon had finished speaking and called their attention to Jesus’ oft-repeated teachings regarding nonresistance. He further reminded them that Jesus had that very night instructed them that they should preserve their lives for the time when they should go forth into the world proclaiming the good news of the gospel of the heavenly kingdom. And Nathaniel was encouraged in this stand by James Zebedee, who now told how Peter and others drew their swords to defend the Master against arrest, and that Jesus bade Simon Peter and his fellow swordsmen sheathe their blades. Matthew and Philip also made speeches, but nothing definite came of this discussion until Thomas, calling their attention to the fact that Jesus had counseled Lazarus against exposing himself to death, pointed out that they could do nothing to save their Master inasmuch as he refused to allow his friends to defend him, and since he persisted in refraining from the use of his divine powers to frustrate his human enemies. Thomas persuaded them to scatter, every man for himself, with the understanding that David Zebedee would remain at the camp to maintain a clearinghouse and messenger headquarters for the group. By half past two o’clock that morning the camp was deserted; only David remained on hand with three or four messengers, the others having been dispatched to secure information as to where Jesus had been taken, and what was going to be done with him.
183:4.5 (1976.3)
Until the very end of the crucifixion, John Zebedee remained, as Jesus had directed him, always near at hand, and it was he who supplied David’s messengers with information from hour to hour which they carried to David at the garden camp, and which was then relayed to the hiding apostles and to Jesus’ family.
183:4.7 (1976.5)
It was shortly after daylight and just after Peter had been sent to join his brother, that Jude, Jesus’ brother in the flesh, arrived in the camp, almost breathless and in advance of the rest of Jesus’ family, only to learn that the Master had already been placed under arrest; and he hastened back down the Jericho road to carry this information to his mother and to his brothers and sisters. David Zebedee sent word to Jesus’ family, by Jude, to forgather at the house of Martha and Mary in Bethany and there await news which his messengers would regularly bring them.
183:4.8 (1976.6)
This was the situation during the last half of Thursday night and the early morning hours of Friday as regards the apostles, the chief disciples, and the earthly family of Jesus. And all these groups and individuals were kept in touch with each other by the messenger service which David Zebedee continued to operate from his headquarters at the Gethsemane camp.
예수와 함께 동산에서 출발하기 전에, 성전 경비병들의 유대인 지휘관과 병사들의 로마인 지휘관 사이에서, 예수를 어디로 끌고 갈 것인지에 대한 다툼이 일어났다. 성전 경비병들의 지휘관은, 현직{現職} 대제사장 가야바에게 끌고 가라고 명했다. 로마 병사들의 지휘관은, 전직 대제사장이요 가야바의 장인인 안나스의 저택으로 예수를 호송하라고 지시했다. 그가 이렇게 한 것은, 로마인이 유대인 종교법에 관련된 모든 일을 처리할 때, 직접 안나스와 의논하는 것이 관행이었기 때문이다. 마침내 로마 지휘관의 명령을 따르게 됐으며;따라서 그들은 예비 심문을 받도록 안나스의 집으로 예수를 데려갔다.
183:5.1 (1977.1)
Before they started away from the garden with Jesus, a dispute arose between the Jewish captain of the temple guards and the Roman captain of the company of soldiers as to where they were to take Jesus. The captain of the temple guards gave orders that he should be taken to Caiaphas, the acting high priest. The captain of the Roman soldiers directed that Jesus be taken to the palace of Annas, the former high priest and father-in-law of Caiaphas. And this he did because the Romans were in the habit of dealing directly with Annas in all matters having to do with the enforcement of the Jewish ecclesiastical laws. And the orders of the Roman captain were obeyed; they took Jesus to the home of Annas for his preliminary examination.
이 무렵에 요한 세베대는, 항상 가까운 곳에 머물러 있으라는 주님의 지시를 기억하면서, 예수 가까이로 서둘러 갔고, 두 지휘관 사이에서 걸어갔다. 성전 경비병들의 지휘관은, 요한이 따라오는 것을 보고 부하에게 말했다:“이 사람을 체포하여 묶어라. 그는 이 사람을 따르는 자들 가운데 하나다.” 그러나 이 말을 들은 로마인 지휘관은, 둘러보다가 요한을 발견하자, 그 사도를 자기 옆에서 따라오게 하고, 아무도 그를 괴롭히지 말라고 명했다. 그리고 나서 로마인 지휘관이 유대인 지휘관에게 말했다:“이 사람은 배신자도 아니고 겁쟁이도 아니다. 나는 이 사람을 그 동산에서 봤고, 칼을 꺼내서 우리에게 대항하지도 않았다. 주님을 따라올 만큼 용감하니, 아무도 그에게 손댈 수 없다. 어떤 죄수든지, 적어도 한 명 이상의 친구가 심판대 앞에 함께 설 수 있도록 허용하는 것이 로마의 법이므로, 죄수인 주님 옆에 이 사람이 서지 못하도록 막을 수 없다.” 이 말을 들은 유다는 너무 부끄럽고 창피하여, 행진하는 자들 맨 뒤로 쳐져서, 안나스의 저택까지 홀로 걸어갔다.
183:5.3 (1977.3)
About this time John Zebedee, remembering his Master’s instructions to remain always near at hand, hurried up near Jesus as he marched along between the two captains. The commander of the temple guards, seeing John come up alongside, said to his assistant: “Take this man and bind him. He is one of this fellow’s followers.” But when the Roman captain heard this and, looking around, saw John, he gave orders that the apostle should come over by him, and that no man should molest him. Then the Roman captain said to the Jewish captain: “This man is neither a traitor nor a coward. I saw him in the garden, and he did not draw a sword to resist us. He has the courage to come forward to be with his Master, and no man shall lay hands on him. The Roman law allows that any prisoner may have at least one friend to stand with him before the judgment bar, and this man shall not be prevented from standing by the side of his Master, the prisoner.” And when Judas heard this, he was so ashamed and humiliated that he dropped back behind the marchers, coming up to the palace of Annas alone.
그리고 이런 사실이, 이날 밤과 이튿날 예수께서 쓰라린 체험을 하는 동안 내내, 요한 세베대가 어떻게 해서 그의 곁에 남을 수 있었는지 설명한다. 유대 종교 법정의 처리를 지켜보는 사람으로서 행동하도록 지명된, 로마인 변호사 비슷한 지위를 갖게 됐으므로, 유대인들은 요한에게 무슨 말을 하거나 방해하기를 두려워했다. 안나스의 저택에서 성전 경비병 지휘관에게 예수를 넘겨주면서 그 로마인이 자기 부하에게, “이 죄수를 따라가서, 빌라도의 허락 없이는 유대인이 그를 죽이지 못하도록 지켜라. 그들이 그를 암살하지 못하도록 보호하고, 그의 친구인 이 갈릴리인이 옆에서 모든 일의 진행을 지켜볼 수 있도록 처리하라”고 명했을 때, 요한의 특권 지위는 더욱 확고해졌다. 그리하여 다른 열 사도는 숨어있을 수밖에 없었지만, 요한은 예수께서 십자가 위에서 운명하는 순간까지 곁에 있을 수 있었다. 요한은 로마인의 보호 속에서 행동했고, 유대인들은 주님이 죽으신 후에도 감히 그를 방해하지 못했다.
183:5.4 (1977.4)
And this explains why John Zebedee was permitted to remain near Jesus all the way through his trying experiences this night and the next day. The Jews feared to say aught to John or to molest him in any way because he had something of the status of a Roman counselor designated to act as observer of the transactions of the Jewish ecclesiastical court. John’s position of privilege was made all the more secure when, in turning Jesus over to the captain of the temple guards at the gate of Annas’s palace, the Roman, addressing his assistant, said: “Go along with this prisoner and see that these Jews do not kill him without Pilate’s consent. Watch that they do not assassinate him, and see that his friend, the Galilean, is permitted to stand by and observe all that goes on.” And thus was John able to be near Jesus right on up to the time of his death on the cross, though the other ten apostles were compelled to remain in hiding. John was acting under Roman protection, and the Jews dared not molest him until after the Master’s death.
