유란시아 책
IV 부. 예수의 생애와 교훈
금요일 오후, 예수를 장사지낸 지 얼마 되지 않았을 때, 네바돈 천사장들의 최고책임자가 유란시아에 나타났으며, 의지를 지닌 잠자는 피조물의 부활을 관장하는 협의회를 소집했고, 예수의 부활을 위해 사용할 수 있는 기법을 검토하기 시작했다. 이때 모인 지방우주 아들들은 미가엘이 창조한 존재였고, 이 일은 그들 본연의 책임이었으며;가브리엘이 그들을 소집하지는 않았다. 자정 무렵 그들은 피조물이 창조주의 부활을 도울 수 있는 방법이 아무 것도 없다는 결론에 도달했다. 미가엘이 “자신의 자유 의지로 생명을 버렸으므로, 자신의 결단에 따라 다시 그것을 취할 권능도 갖고 있다”는 것을 그들에게 설명한, 가브리엘의 충고를 받아들이기로 했다. 천사장과 생명 운반자 그리고 피조물을 회복시키고 모론시아 창조에 협동하는 다양한 동역자들로 구성된 이 협의회의 회의가 끝난 직후, 그때 유란시아에 집합된 천상의 무리를 직접 지휘하던, 예수의 인격화된 조절자가, 초조하게 기다리면서 지켜보던 그들에게 말했다:
189:0.1 (2020.1)
SOON after the burial of Jesus on Friday afternoon, the chief of the archangels of Nebadon, then present on Urantia, summoned his council of the resurrection of sleeping will creatures and entered upon the consideration of a possible technique for the restoration of Jesus. These assembled sons of the local universe, the creatures of Michael, did this on their own responsibility; Gabriel had not assembled them. By midnight they had arrived at the conclusion that the creature could do nothing to facilitate the resurrection of the Creator. They were disposed to accept the advice of Gabriel, who instructed them that, since Michael had “laid down his life of his own free will, he also had power to take it up again in accordance with his own determination.” Shortly after the adjournment of this council of the archangels, the Life Carriers, and their various associates in the work of creature rehabilitation and morontia creation, the Personalized Adjuster of Jesus, being in personal command of the assembled celestial hosts then on Urantia, spoke these words to the anxious waiting watchers:
“너희 중 아무도 너희의 아버지-창조주가 다시 살아나는 데 아무 것도 도울 수 없다. 그가 이 영역의 한 필사자로서 필사 죽음을 체험했지만;우주의 주권자로서는 여전히 살아있다. 너희가 지켜본 것은, 나사렛 예수께서 육신을 입은 생애로부터 모론시아 생활로 들어간 필사자 변환기이다. 예수의 이 영 변환은, 내가 그의 인격에서 분리되어 너희의 임시 지휘자가 되었을 때 이미 완료되었다. 너희의 아버지이신-창조주는, 필사 피조물이 겪는 전체 체험, 즉 물질 세계에 태어나는 것에서 시작하여 자연스런 죽음과 모론시아 부활을 지나, 참된 영 실존 상태로 들어가는 과정을 통과하기로 선택했다. 이 체험 중 특정 국면을 너희가 곧 지켜보게 되겠으나, 거기에 관여하지는 못한다. 너희가 통상적으로 피조물을 위해 행하는 그것을 창조주에게 적용할 수는 없다. 창조주 아들은, 자신이 창조한 그 어떤 아들들의 모습으로든 자신을 증여할 권능을 몸소 지니고 있으며;관찰 가능한 자기 생명을 스스로 버릴 권능과 다시 취할 권능을 자신 속에 지니고 있으며;낙원 아버지의 직접 지시에 따라 이런 권능을 지녔고, 나는 내가 무엇을 말하는지 잘 안다.”
189:0.2 (2020.2)
“Not one of you can do aught to assist your Creator-father in the return to life. As a mortal of the realm he has experienced mortal death; as the Sovereign of a universe he still lives. That which you observe is the mortal transit of Jesus of Nazareth from life in the flesh to life in the morontia. The spirit transit of this Jesus was completed at the time I separated myself from his personality and became your temporary director. Your Creator-father has elected to pass through the whole of the experience of his mortal creatures, from birth on the material worlds, on through natural death and the resurrection of the morontia, into the status of true spirit existence. A certain phase of this experience you are about to observe, but you may not participate in it. Those things which you ordinarily do for the creature, you may not do for the Creator. A Creator Son has within himself the power to bestow himself in the likeness of any of his created sons; he has within himself the power to lay down his observable life and to take it up again; and he has this power because of the direct command of the Paradise Father, and I know whereof I speak.”
189:0.3 (2020.3)
When they heard the Personalized Adjuster so speak, they all assumed the attitude of anxious expectancy, from Gabriel down to the most humble cherubim. They saw the mortal body of Jesus in the tomb; they detected evidences of the universe activity of their beloved Sovereign; and not understanding such phenomena, they waited patiently for developments.
189:1.1 (2020.4)
At two forty-five Sunday morning, the Paradise incarnation commission, consisting of seven unidentified Paradise personalities, arrived on the scene and immediately deployed themselves about the tomb. At ten minutes before three, intense vibrations of commingled material and morontia activities began to issue from Joseph’s new tomb, and at two minutes past three o’clock, this Sunday morning, April 9, {scaps{scaps{a.d.}scaps}scaps} 30, the resurrected morontia form and personality of Jesus of Nazareth came forth from the tomb.
부활한 예수께서, 매장되었던 무덤에서 빠져나왔을 때, 이 땅에서 약 36년 동안 살면서 활동했던 육신의 몸은, 금요일 오후에 요셉과 그 동역자들이 눕혀놓았을 때와 똑같이, 세마포에 싸여 묘실에 안치된 그대로 여전히 눕혀 있었다. 또한 무덤 입구를 막은 바위도 전혀 손상되지 않은 채로 있었으며;빌라도의 봉인도 여전히 손상되지 않았으며;병사들도 아직 무덤을 지키고 있었다. 성전 경비병들은 계속 근무하고 있었으나;로마 경비대는 자정 무렵 교대했다. 무덤을 지키던 이 사람들 중에서, 자기네가 지키고 있는 대상이 이미 살아나서 고귀한 새 실존 형체가 되었다는 것, 그리고 감시하고 있는 시신은 예수의 해방되고 부활된 모론시아 인격체와는 더 이상 아무 상관이 없는 버려진 빈껍데기에 불과하게 되었다는 것을 아는 사람은 아무도 없었다.
189:1.2 (2021.1)
After the resurrected Jesus emerged from his burial tomb, the body of flesh in which he had lived and wrought on earth for almost thirty-six years was still lying there in the sepulchre niche, undisturbed and wrapped in the linen sheet, just as it had been laid to rest by Joseph and his associates on Friday afternoon. Neither was the stone before the entrance of the tomb in any way disturbed; the seal of Pilate was still unbroken; the soldiers were still on guard. The temple guards had been on continuous duty; the Roman guard had been changed at midnight. None of these watchers suspected that the object of their vigil had risen to a new and higher form of existence, and that the body which they were guarding was now a discarded outer covering which had no further connection with the delivered and resurrected morontia personality of Jesus.
189:1.3 (2021.2)
Mankind is slow to perceive that, in all that is personal, matter is the skeleton of morontia, and that both are the reflected shadow of enduring spirit reality. How long before you will regard time as the moving image of eternity and space as the fleeting shadow of Paradise realities?
우리가 판단하는 한, 이 우주의 어떤 피조물도, 그리고 다른 우주의 어떤 인격체도, 나사렛 예수의 모론시아 부활에 관여하지 않았다. 그는 금요일에 이 세상 필사자로서 생명을 버렸으며;일요일 아침, 노라티아덱에 속한 사타니아 체계의 모론시아 존재로서 생명을 다시 취했다. 예수의 부활에 관해 우리가 모르는 것이 많다. 그러나 우리가 지적하는 그 시간 무렵, 우리가 증거한 대로 그 사건이 일어났음을 우리는 안다. 또한 우리는, 예수의 시신이 수의{壽衣}에 싸인 채 눕혀 있던 요셉의 새 무덤 바로 거기서 일어난, 이 필사자 변환 곧 모론시아 부활과 관련하여 알려진 모든 현상을 기록할 수 있다.
189:1.4 (2021.3)
As far as we can judge, no creature of this universe nor any personality from another universe had anything to do with this morontia resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. On Friday he laid down his life as a mortal of the realm; on Sunday morning he took it up again as a morontia being of the system of Satania in Norlatiadek. There is much about the resurrection of Jesus which we do not understand. But we know that it occurred as we have stated and at about the time indicated. We can also record that all known phenomena associated with this mortal transit, or morontia resurrection, occurred right there in Joseph’s new tomb, where the mortal material remains of Jesus lay wrapped in burial cloths.
189:1.5 (2021.4)
We know that no creature of the local universe participated in this morontia awakening. We perceived the seven personalities of Paradise surround the tomb, but we did not see them do anything in connection with the Master’s awakening. Just as soon as Jesus appeared beside Gabriel, just above the tomb, the seven personalities from Paradise signalized their intention of immediate departure for Uversa.
189:1.7 (2021.6)
1. His material or physical body was not a part of the resurrected personality. When Jesus came forth from the tomb, his body of flesh remained undisturbed in the sepulchre. He emerged from the burial tomb without moving the stones before the entrance and without disturbing the seals of Pilate.
189:1.9 (2021.8)
3. He did come forth from this tomb of Joseph in the very likeness of the morontia personalities of those who, as resurrected morontia ascendant beings, emerge from the resurrection halls of the first mansion world of this local system of Satania. And the presence of the Michael memorial in the center of the vast court of the resurrection halls of mansonia number one leads us to conjecture that the Master’s resurrection on Urantia was in some way fostered on this, the first of the system mansion worlds.
예수께서 무덤에서 부활하여 처음 한 일은, 가브리엘에게 인사를 건네고, 임마누엘의 지휘 하게 우주 직무에 대한 행정적 직무를 계속 수행하도록 지시한 것이었으며, 이어서 형제로서의 안부 인사를 임마누엘에게 전하라고 멜기세덱들의 최고책임자에게 지시했다. 그리고 나서 그는, 자신의 필사자 변환에 대해 태고 항존자의 확인이 있었는지에 대해 에덴시아의 지고자에게 질문했으며;예수께서는, 피조물에 속한 자들로서 창조주를 환영하고 영접하기 위해 이곳에 함께 모여 있는, 일곱 맨션 세계로부터 집합된 모론시아 무리에게로 돌아선 후, 필사자 이후 생애에서 처음으로 입을 열었다. 모론시아 예수께서 말씀했다:“육신을 입은 삶을 마쳤으므로, 나는 내 상승한 피조물의 삶을 좀 더 자세히 알고, 낙원에 계시는 내 아버지 뜻을 좀 더 계시할 수 있도록, 과도기 형체로서 이곳에 잠시 머물러 있으려 한다.”
189:1.10 (2022.1)
The first act of Jesus on arising from the tomb was to greet Gabriel and instruct him to continue in executive charge of universe affairs under Immanuel, and then he directed the chief of the Melchizedeks to convey his brotherly greetings to Immanuel. He thereupon asked the Most High of Edentia for the certification of the Ancients of Days as to his mortal transit; and turning to the assembled morontia groups of the seven mansion worlds, here gathered together to greet and welcome their Creator as a creature of their order, Jesus spoke the first words of the postmortal career. Said the morontia Jesus: “Having finished my life in the flesh, I would tarry here for a short time in transition form that I may more fully know the life of my ascendant creatures and further reveal the will of my Father in Paradise.”
189:1.12 (2022.3)
Jesus now began the contacts of the morontia level, being introduced, as a creature, to the requirements of the life he had chosen to live for a short time on Urantia. This initiation into the morontia world required more than an hour of earth time and was twice interrupted by his desire to communicate with his former associates in the flesh as they came out from Jerusalem wonderingly to peer into the empty tomb to discover what they considered evidence of his resurrection.
189:1.13 (2022.4)
Now is the mortal transit of Jesus—the morontia resurrection of the Son of Man—completed. The transitory experience of the Master as a personality midway between the material and the spiritual has begun. And he has done all this through power inherent within himself; no personality has rendered him any assistance. He now lives as Jesus of morontia, and as he begins this morontia life, the material body of his flesh lies there undisturbed in the tomb. The soldiers are still on guard, and the seal of the governor about the rocks has not yet been broken.
3시 10분, 부활한 예수께서, 사타니아의 일곱 맨션 세계에서 소집된 모론시아 인격체들과 교제할 때, 천사장들--곧 부활의 천사들--의 최고책임자가 가브리엘에게 다가가 예수의 필사자 신체에 관해 요청했다. 이 수석 천사장이 말했다:“우리 주권자이신 미가엘의 증여 체험에 속하는 모론시아 부활에 우리가 관여할 수는 없었지만, 남아있는 그분의 시신을 즉시 분해하는 일은 우리에게 맡겨주셨으면 합니다. 비물질화시키는 기법을 사용하지 않으려 하며;다만 시간을 단축시키는 방법을 사용하려 합니다. 우리는 주권자께서 유란시아에서 살다가 돌아가시는 것을 본 것으로 만족하며;하늘의 무리는, 우주의 창조주시며 유지자이신 그분의 인간 형체가 서서히 부식되어가는 장면을 기억하고 싶지 않을 것입니다. 천상의 모든 네바돈 지성체들을 대표해서, 나사렛 예수의 필사자 신체에 대한 처리를 나에게 맡겨주시고, 우리가 즉각 분해할 수 있도록 우리에게 권한을 주시기를 요청합니다.”
189:2.1 (2022.5)
At ten minutes past three o’clock, as the resurrected Jesus fraternized with the assembled morontia personalities from the seven mansion worlds of Satania, the chief of archangels—the angels of the resurrection—approached Gabriel and asked for the mortal body of Jesus. Said the chief of the archangels: “We may not participate in the morontia resurrection of the bestowal experience of Michael our sovereign, but we would have his mortal remains put in our custody for immediate dissolution. We do not propose to employ our technique of dematerialization; we merely wish to invoke the process of accelerated time. It is enough that we have seen the Sovereign live and die on Urantia; the hosts of heaven would be spared the memory of enduring the sight of the slow decay of the human form of the Creator and Upholder of a universe. In the name of the celestial intelligences of all Nebadon, I ask for a mandate giving me the custody of the mortal body of Jesus of Nazareth and empowering us to proceed with its immediate dissolution.”
이런 요청에 대해 허락을 받은 후, 천사장들의 최고책임자는 모든 계층의 천상의 인격체를 대표하는 수많은 무리와 많은 친구에게 협조를 요청했으며, 그리고 나서 유란시아 중도자들의 도움을 받아 예수의 신체에 대한 물리적 처리를 진행했다. 이 시신{屍身}은 순전히 물질 창조물이었으며;물리적이고 형태화된 것이었으며;부활한 모론시아 형체가 인봉된 묘실을 빠져나갈 수 있었던 것과는 달리, 무덤에서 옮겨질 수 없었다. 모론시아 형체는, 특정한 모론시아 보조 인격체들의 협조를 받아, 일시적으로 영{靈}에 속한 상태로 만들어질 수 있고, 보통 물질과 무관한 상태로 될 수도 있으며, 또 어떤 때는, 이 영역의 필사자들과 마찬가지로, 물질 존재들과 접촉하거나 그들에게 식별될 수도 있다.
189:2.3 (2023.2)
After the chief of archangels had been granted this request, he summoned to his assistance many of his fellows, together with a numerous host of the representatives of all orders of celestial personalities, and then, with the aid of the Urantia midwayers, proceeded to take possession of Jesus’ physical body. This body of death was a purely material creation; it was physical and literal; it could not be removed from the tomb as the morontia form of the resurrection had been able to escape the sealed sepulchre. By the aid of certain morontia auxiliary personalities, the morontia form can be made at one time as of the spirit so that it can become indifferent to ordinary matter, while at another time it can become discernible and contactable to material beings, such as the mortals of the realm.
예수의 시신을 거의 순간적으로 분해하는, 나름대로 장엄하고 경건한 처리에 앞서, 그들이 시신을 무덤에서 제거할 준비가 되었을 때, 무덤 입구에서 돌을 굴려내는 일이 유란시아의 2차-중도자들에게 할당되었다. 두 돌 중에서 큰 것은 맷돌 모양의 거대한 원형 바위였고, 이것을 앞뒤로 움직여서 무덤을 열고 닫을 수 있도록, 바위 위에 길게 파낸 홈을 따라 굴릴 수 있게 설치되어있었다. 무덤을 지키던 유대인 경비원과 로마 병사들은, 새벽의 희미한 빛 속에서, 이 거대한 돌이 외견상 저절로--곧 그런 움직임을 일으킬만한 수단이 아무 것도 눈에 보이지 않은 채-- 무덤 입구에서 굴러가는 것을 보자, 두려움과 공포심에 사로잡혔고, 현장에서 황급히 도망쳤다. 유대인들은 자기 집으로 도망갔다가, 성전에 있는 지휘관에게 이 일을 나중에 보고했다. 로마인들은 안토니아의 요새로 도망갔고, 백부장이 출근하자마자, 목격했던 것을 그에게 보고했다.
189:2.4 (2023.3)
As they made ready to remove the body of Jesus from the tomb preparatory to according it the dignified and reverent disposal of near-instantaneous dissolution, it was assigned the secondary Urantia midwayers to roll away the stones from the entrance of the tomb. The larger of these two stones was a huge circular affair, much like a millstone, and it moved in a groove chiseled out of the rock, so that it could be rolled back and forth to open or close the tomb. When the watching Jewish guards and the Roman soldiers, in the dim light of the morning, saw this huge stone begin to roll away from the entrance of the tomb, apparently of its own accord—without any visible means to account for such motion—they were seized with fear and panic, and they fled in haste from the scene. The Jews fled to their homes, afterward going back to report these doings to their captain at the temple. The Romans fled to the fortress of Antonia and reported what they had seen to the centurion as soon as he arrived on duty.
189:2.5 (2023.4)
The Jewish leaders began the sordid business of supposedly getting rid of Jesus by offering bribes to the traitorous Judas, and now, when confronted with this embarrassing situation, instead of thinking of punishing the guards who deserted their post, they resorted to bribing these guards and the Roman soldiers. They paid each of these twenty men a sum of money and instructed them to say to all: “While we slept during the nighttime, his disciples came upon us and took away the body.” And the Jewish leaders made solemn promises to the soldiers to defend them before Pilate in case it should ever come to the governor’s knowledge that they had accepted a bribe.
예수의 부활에 대한 그리스도교의 믿음은, “빈 무덤”이라는 사실에 기초했다. 무덤이 비어있었던 것은 분명 사실이었으나, 그것이 부활의 진리는 아니다. 신자들이 처음 무덤에 도착했을 때 무덤은 정말로 비어있었고, 이 사실은 주님의 확실한 부활 사건과 결합되어, 참되지 않은 어떤 믿음, 즉:예수의 필사자 신체가 무덤에서 부활했다는 가르침으로 공식화되어갔다. 분명한 사실들을 조합한다고 해서, 영적 실체와 영원한 가치를 다루는 진리가 항상 이뤄질 수 있는 것은 아니다. 각각의 사실이 물질적으로 옳을지라도, 여러 사실이 합쳐진 것이 반드시 참된 영적 결론을 가져오지는 않는다.
189:2.6 (2023.5)
The Christian belief in the resurrection of Jesus has been based on the fact of the “empty tomb.” It was indeed a fact that the tomb was empty, but this is not the truth of the resurrection. The tomb was truly empty when the first believers arrived, and this fact, associated with that of the undoubted resurrection of the Master, led to the formulation of a belief which was not true: the teaching that the material and mortal body of Jesus was raised from the grave. Truth having to do with spiritual realities and eternal values cannot always be built up by a combination of apparent facts. Although individual facts may be materially true, it does not follow that the association of a group of facts must necessarily lead to truthful spiritual conclusions.
189:2.7 (2023.6)
The tomb of Joseph was empty, not because the body of Jesus had been rehabilitated or resurrected, but because the celestial hosts had been granted their request to afford it a special and unique dissolution, a return of the “dust to dust,” without the intervention of the delays of time and without the operation of the ordinary and visible processes of mortal decay and material corruption.
189:2.8 (2024.1)
The mortal remains of Jesus underwent the same natural process of elemental disintegration as characterizes all human bodies on earth except that, in point of time, this natural mode of dissolution was greatly accelerated, hastened to that point where it became well-nigh instantaneous.
189:2.9 (2024.2)
The true evidences of the resurrection of Michael are spiritual in nature, albeit this teaching is corroborated by the testimony of many mortals of the realm who met, recognized, and communed with the resurrected morontia Master. He became a part of the personal experience of almost one thousand human beings before he finally took leave of Urantia.
이 일요일 아침 4시 30분 조금 지났을 때, 가브리엘이 천사장들을 곁으로 불러 모으고, 유란시아에서 아담 섭리시대가 종결됨에 따른 일반 부활을 거행할 준비를 마쳤다. 이 엄청난 사건에 관여하는 큰 무리의 스라빔과 체루빔이 적절한 대형{隊形}으로 정렬되자, 모론시아 미가엘이 가브리엘 앞에 나타나서 말씀했다:“내 아버지께서 자신 속에 생명이 있음 같이, 아들에게도 그 생명을 주어 아들 속에 생명을 지니게 하셨다. 비록 내가 아직 우주 지배권 행사를 온전히 재개하지는 않았으나, 스스로 부과했던 이 한계가, 잠자고 있는 내 아들들에게 생명을 수여하는 일을 어떤 식으로도 제한하지 못할 것이니;행성 부활의 출석점호를 시작하라.”
189:3.1 (2024.3)
A little after half past four o’clock this Sunday morning, Gabriel summoned the archangels to his side and made ready to inaugurate the general resurrection of the termination of the Adamic dispensation on Urantia. When the vast host of the seraphim and the cherubim concerned in this great event had been marshaled in proper formation, the morontia Michael appeared before Gabriel, saying: “As my Father has life in himself, so has he given it to the Son to have life in himself. Although I have not yet fully resumed the exercise of universe jurisdiction, this self-imposed limitation does not in any manner restrict the bestowal of life upon my sleeping sons; let the roll call of the planetary resurrection begin.”
그때 천사장들의 회로{回路}가 유란시아에서 처음으로 작동되었다. 가브리엘과 천사장 무리가 행성의 영적 극{極} 위치로 이동했으며;가브리엘이 신호를 보내자, 체계 맨션 세계들 가운데 첫 세계에, “미가엘의 명령이니, 유란시아 섭리시대에 죽은 자들이 살아나게 하라!”는 가브리엘의 소리가 울려 퍼졌다. 그러자 아담 시대 이후에 잠자는 상태로 들어가서 아직 심판받지 않은, 유란시아 인간 종족들 중에서 모든 생존자가, 모론시아 수여식에 참석할 준비를 갖추고 맨션 세계 부활실에 모습을 드러냈다. 그리고 순식간에 스라빔과 그 동역자들은 맨션 세계로 떠날 준비를 마쳤다. 일반적으로 이 스랍 수호자들은 생존하는 이 필사자 무리를 집단으로 보호관리하는 일에 한때 배정되고, 저희가 맨소니아의 부활실에서 깨어나는 순간 거기에 나타나게 되어있었으나, 그들이 이 시기에 이 세상에 있었던 것은, 예수의 모론시아 부활과 관련하여 가브리엘이 이곳에 현존해야 할 필요성 때문이었다.
189:3.2 (2024.4)
The circuit of the archangels then operated for the first time from Urantia. Gabriel and the archangel hosts moved to the place of the spiritual polarity of the planet; and when Gabriel gave the signal, there flashed to the first of the system mansion worlds the voice of Gabriel, saying: “By the mandate of Michael, let the dead of a Urantia dispensation rise!” Then all the survivors of the human races of Urantia who had fallen asleep since the days of Adam, and who had not already gone on to judgment, appeared in the resurrection halls of mansonia in readiness for morontia investiture. And in an instant of time the seraphim and their associates made ready to depart for the mansion worlds. Ordinarily these seraphic guardians, onetime assigned to the group custody of these surviving mortals, would have been present at the moment of their awaking in the resurrection halls of mansonia, but they were on this world itself at this time because of the necessity of Gabriel’s presence here in connection with the morontia resurrection of Jesus.
189:3.3 (2024.5)
Notwithstanding that countless individuals having personal seraphic guardians and those achieving the requisite attainment of spiritual personality progress had gone on to mansonia during the ages subsequent to the times of Adam and Eve, and though there had been many special and millennial resurrections of Urantia sons, this was the third of the planetary roll calls, or complete dispensational resurrections. The first occurred at the time of the arrival of the Planetary Prince, the second during the time of Adam, and this, the third, signalized the morontia resurrection, the mortal transit, of Jesus of Nazareth.
189:3.4 (2024.6)
When the signal of the planetary resurrection had been received by the chief of archangels, the Personalized Adjuster of the Son of Man relinquished his authority over the celestial hosts assembled on Urantia, turning all these sons of the local universe back to the jurisdiction of their respective commanders. And when he had done this, he departed for Salvington to register with Immanuel the completion of the mortal transit of Michael. And he was immediately followed by all the celestial host not required for duty on Urantia. But Gabriel remained on Urantia with the morontia Jesus.
이 일요일 새벽 예수께서 부활하던 때를 우리가 다루면서, 열 사도가 엘리야와 마리아 마가의 집에 머물렀음을 상기해야 할 것인데, 그들은 다락방에서 주님과 함께 마지막 만찬을 나누는 동안 기대고 앉아 있었던 바로 그 의자에 누워서 잠들었다. 이 일요일 아침, 그들은 도마를 제외한 전원이 함께 모였다. 도마는 그들이 처음으로 다 함께 모인 토요일 밤 늦은 시간에 잠시 그들과 함께 있었으나, 예수께 무슨 일이 일어났는지 고심하고 있는 사도들의 모습을 도저히 감당할 수 없었다. 그는 동역자들을 둘러본 후 즉시 그 방에서 나갔으며, 베스페이지{벳바게}에 있는 시몬의 집으로 갔고, 거기서 자신의 불행을 혼자 가슴 아파할 생각이었다. 사도들 모두 겪은 고통은, 의심과 절망 때문이라기보다는 오히려 두려움, 비탄, 및 수치심 때문이었다.
189:4.1 (2025.2)
As we approach the time of the resurrection of Jesus on this early Sunday morning, it should be recalled that the ten apostles were sojourning at the home of Elijah and Mary Mark, where they were asleep in the upper chamber, resting on the very couches whereon they reclined during the last supper with their Master. This Sunday morning they were all there assembled except Thomas. Thomas was with them for a few minutes late Saturday night when they first got together, but the sight of the apostles, coupled with the thought of what had happened to Jesus, was too much for him. He looked his associates over and immediately left the room, going to the home of Simon in Bethpage, where he thought to grieve over his troubles in solitude. The apostles all suffered, not so much from doubt and despair as from fear, grief, and shame.
189:4.2 (2025.3)
At the home of Nicodemus there were gathered together, with David Zebedee and Joseph of Arimathea, some twelve or fifteen of the more prominent of the Jerusalem disciples of Jesus. At the home of Joseph of Arimathea there were some fifteen or twenty of the leading women believers. Only these women abode in Joseph’s house, and they had kept close within during the hours of the Sabbath day and the evening after the Sabbath, so that they were ignorant of the military guard on watch at the tomb; neither did they know that a second stone had been rolled in front of the tomb, and that both of these stones had been placed under the seal of Pilate.
189:4.3 (2025.4)
A little before three o’clock this Sunday morning, when the first signs of day began to appear in the east, five of the women started out for the tomb of Jesus. They had prepared an abundance of special embalming lotions, and they carried many linen bandages with them. It was their purpose more thoroughly to give the body of Jesus its death anointing and more carefully to wrap it up with the new bandages.
189:4.5 (2025.6)
It was about half past three o’clock when the five women, laden with their ointments, arrived before the empty tomb. As they passed out of the Damascus gate, they encountered a number of soldiers fleeing into the city more or less panic-stricken, and this caused them to pause for a few minutes; but when nothing more developed, they resumed their journey.
그들은 길을 가면서 “우리를 도와 돌을 굴려줄 사람이 있을까?”라고 서로 물어보았기 때문에, 무덤 입구에서 돌이 이미 굴려져 있는 것을 보자 몹시 놀랐다. 짐을 내려놓고 크게 기이히 여기면서, 그리고 두려워하면서 서로 얼굴만 바라보고 있었다. 그들이 공포에 떨면서 거기에 서있는 동안, 막달라 마리아는 작은 바윗돌을 옆으로 치우면서, 열린 묘실 안으로 과감하게 들어갔다. 요셉의 이 무덤은 길 동편 언덕 위 동산에 있었고, 동쪽으로 향해 있었다. 이때는 날이 어느 정도 밝아진 후였으므로, 마리아는 주님의 시신이 눕혀 있던 자리를 식별할 수 있었고, 시신이 사라졌음을 알 수 있었다. 마리아는, 그들이 예수의 시신을 눕혀놓았던 돌 벽면 선반에서, 그의 머리가 있던 자리에 오직 접혀진 수건과 그를 감쌌던 천이 손상되지 않은 채, 천상의 무리가 시신을 치우기 전에 돌 위에 놓여 있던 그대로 남아있는 것만 볼 수 있었다. 덮어씌웠던 천은 시신이 눕혀 있던 발 끝 쪽에 있었다.
189:4.6 (2025.7)
They were greatly surprised to see the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, inasmuch as they had said among themselves on the way out, “Who will help us roll away the stone?” They set down their burdens and began to look upon one another in fear and with great amazement. While they stood there, atremble with fear, Mary Magdalene ventured around the smaller stone and dared to enter the open sepulchre. This tomb of Joseph was in his garden on the hillside on the eastern side of the road, and it also faced toward the east. By this hour there was just enough of the dawn of a new day to enable Mary to look back to the place where the Master’s body had lain and to discern that it was gone. In the recess of stone where they had laid Jesus, Mary saw only the folded napkin where his head had rested and the bandages wherewith he had been wrapped lying intact and as they had rested on the stone before the celestial hosts removed the body. The covering sheet lay at the foot of the burial niche.
마리아는, (무덤에 처음 들어갔을 때는 확실하게 보지 못했으나) 무덤 입구에 잠시 머문 후에야, 예수의 시신이 없어졌고, 그 자리에 오직 이 수의{壽衣}들만 있는 것을 보았으며, 놀라서 비명을 지르고 괴로워했다. 여자들은 모두 극도로 불안해했으며;성문에서 겁에 질린 병사들을 만난 후 계속 불안한 상태에 있었고, 마리아가 이런 괴로운 비명 소리를 지르자, 공포에 사로잡혀서 재빨리 도망쳤다. 그들은 단숨에 다마스커스 문까지 달려갔다. 그때 요안나는 마리아를 거기에 두고 자기들만 도망쳤다는 사실에 양심의-가책을 느꼈으며;동무들을 불러 세운 후, 무덤으로 돌아갔다.
189:4.7 (2026.1)
After Mary had tarried in the doorway of the tomb for a few moments (she did not see distinctly when she first entered the tomb), she saw that Jesus’ body was gone and in its place only these grave cloths, and she uttered a cry of alarm and anguish. All the women were exceedingly nervous; they had been on edge ever since meeting the panicky soldiers at the city gate, and when Mary uttered this scream of anguish, they were terror-stricken and fled in great haste. And they did not stop until they had run all the way to the Damascus gate. By this time Joanna was conscience-stricken that they had deserted Mary; she rallied her companions, and they started back for the tomb.
189:4.8 (2026.2)
As they drew near the sepulchre, the frightened Magdalene, who was even more terrorized when she failed to find her sisters waiting when she came out of the tomb, now rushed up to them, excitedly exclaiming: “He is not there—they have taken him away!” And she led them back to the tomb, and they all entered and saw that it was empty.
189:4.9 (2026.3)
All five of the women then sat down on the stone near the entrance and talked over the situation. It had not yet occurred to them that Jesus had been resurrected. They had been by themselves over the Sabbath, and they conjectured that the body had been moved to another resting place. But when they pondered such a solution of their dilemma, they were at a loss to account for the orderly arrangement of the grave cloths; how could the body have been removed since the very bandages in which it was wrapped were left in position and apparently intact on the burial shelf?
새 날이 밝아오는 이른 아침, 이 여자들이 거기 앉았을 때, 한 쪽 옆에 아무 말 없이 움직이지 않고 앉아있는 낯선 사람을 보았다. 그들은 한 순간 다시 놀랐지만, 막달라 마리아는 그가 그 동산을 지키는 사람일 것이라 생각했는지, 그에게 달려가서 물었다:“우리 주님을 어디에 뒀습니까? 그들이 그를 다른 곳에 눕혔습니까? 우리가 가서 그를 볼 수 있도록 알려주십시오.” 낯선 사람이 마리아에게 대답하지 않자, 마리아가 흐느껴 울기 시작했다. 그러자 예수께서 그들에게 “누구를 찾느냐?”고 물었다. 마리아가 대답했다:“요셉의 무덤에 눕혔던 예수를 찾습니다. 그를 어디로 옮겼는지 아십니까?” 그러자 예수께서 말씀했다:“그 예수가 갈릴리에서도 너희에게 말하기를, 자기가 죽을 것이지만 다시 살아나리라 하지 않았느냐?” 이 말씀이 여자들을 깜짝 놀라게 했으나, 주님이 너무 많이 변화되었으므로, 어슴푸레 밝아오는 빛을 등지고 있는 그를 아직 알아보지 못했다. 그의 말씀을 골똘히 생각하고 있을 때, 그가 귀에 익은 목소리로 막달라에게, “마리아야”라고 불렀다. 늘 듣던 연민의 정과 애정에 넘치는 인사말을 들은 마리아는, 주님의 음성임을 알아차렸고, 그의 앞으로 달려가 무릎을 꿇고 소리쳤다:“내 주여, 내 주님이시여!” 그제서야, 영광스런 모습으로 자기 앞에 서있는 그가 주님이심을 다른 여자들도 모두 알아보았고, 신속히 그의 앞으로 가서 무릎을 꿇었다.
189:4.10 (2026.4)
As these women sat there in the early hours of the dawn of this new day, they looked to one side and observed a silent and motionless stranger. For a moment they were again frightened, but Mary Magdalene, rushing toward him and addressing him as if she thought he might be the caretaker of the garden, said, “Where have you taken the Master? Where have they laid him? Tell us that we may go and get him.” When the stranger did not answer Mary, she began to weep. Then spoke Jesus to them, saying, “Whom do you seek?” Mary said: “We seek for Jesus who was laid to rest in Joseph’s tomb, but he is gone. Do you know where they have taken him?” Then said Jesus: “Did not this Jesus tell you, even in Galilee, that he would die, but that he would rise again?” These words startled the women, but the Master was so changed that they did not yet recognize him with his back turned to the dim light. And as they pondered his words, he addressed the Magdalene with a familiar voice, saying, “Mary.” And when she heard that word of well-known sympathy and affectionate greeting, she knew it was the voice of the Master, and she rushed to kneel at his feet while she exclaimed, “My Lord, and my Master!” And all of the other women recognized that it was the Master who stood before them in glorified form, and they quickly knelt before him.
189:4.12 (2027.2)
As Mary sought to embrace his feet, Jesus said: “Touch me not, Mary, for I am not as you knew me in the flesh. In this form will I tarry with you for a season before I ascend to the Father. But go, all of you, now and tell my apostles—and Peter—that I have risen, and that you have talked with me.”
189:4.13 (2027.3)
After these women had recovered from the shock of their amazement, they hastened back to the city and to the home of Elijah Mark, where they related to the ten apostles all that had happened to them; but the apostles were not inclined to believe them. They thought at first that the women had seen a vision, but when Mary Magdalene repeated the words which Jesus had spoken to them, and when Peter heard his name, he rushed out of the upper chamber, followed closely by John, in great haste to reach the tomb and see these things for himself.
두 사도가 골고다와 요셉의 무덤으로 달려가는 동안, 베드로의 생각은 두려움과 희망 사이를 오갔으며;주님을 만나는 것이 두려웠으나, 예수께서 자기에게 특별한 말씀을 했다는 이야기에 희망이 솟아났다. 그는 예수께서 정말로 부활했음을 반쯤 확신했으며;셋째 날 일어나신다는 약속을 회상했다. 묘한 일이지만, 십자가형이 있은 후, 그가 예루살렘을 지나 북쪽으로 급히 달려가는 이 순간까지도 그 약속이 생각나지 않았다. 요한은, 성 밖으로 급히 나갈 때, 기쁨과 희망의 야릇한 황홀감이 혼 속에서 샘솟았다. 그는 여자들이 정말로 부활하신 주님을 만났을지도 모른다고 반쯤 확신했다.
189:5.1 (2027.5)
As the two apostles raced for Golgotha and the tomb of Joseph, Peter’s thoughts alternated between fear and hope; he feared to meet the Master, but his hope was aroused by the story that Jesus had sent special word to him. He was half persuaded that Jesus was really alive; he recalled the promise to rise on the third day. Strange to relate, this promise had not occurred to him since the crucifixion until this moment as he hurried north through Jerusalem. As John hastened out of the city, a strange ecstasy of joy and hope welled up in his soul. He was half convinced that the women really had seen the risen Master.
189:5.2 (2027.6)
John, being younger than Peter, outran him and arrived first at the tomb. John tarried at the door, viewing the tomb, and it was just as Mary had described it. Very soon Simon Peter rushed up and, entering, saw the same empty tomb with the grave cloths so peculiarly arranged. And when Peter had come out, John also went in and saw it all for himself, and then they sat down on the stone to ponder the meaning of what they had seen and heard. And while they sat there, they turned over in their minds all that had been told them about Jesus, but they could not clearly perceive what had happened.
베드로는 처음에, 그 무덤이 약탈당한 것이 아니냐고, 아마 대적하는 자들이 경비병을 매수하여 시신을 훔쳐갔을 것이라고 주장했다. 그러나 요한은, 시신이 도둑맞았다고 하기에는 무덤이 너무 질서 정연하게 되어있다고 판단했으며, 또한 어떻게 해서 헝겊들이 남겨졌는지, 그리고 있던 그대로 남아있을 수 있는지에 대해 의문을 제기했다. 그들은 다시 함께 무덤으로 들어갔고, 더 자세히 수의들을 살펴보았다. 두 번째로 무덤에서 나왔을 때, 막달라 마리아가 돌아와 무덤 입구에서 울고 있는 것을 보았다. 마리아는 예수께서 무덤에서 살아났음을 믿으면서 사도들에게 갔었지만, 그들이 모두 자신의 말을 받아들이려 하지 않자, 낙심하고 절망하게 되었다. 마리아는 귀에 익은 예수의 음성을 들었다고 생각되는 무덤 근처로 돌아오고 싶었다.
189:5.3 (2027.7)
Peter at first suggested that the grave had been rifled, that enemies had stolen the body, perhaps bribed the guards. But John reasoned that the grave would hardly have been left so orderly if the body had been stolen, and he also raised the question as to how the bandages happened to be left behind, and so apparently intact. And again they both went back into the tomb more closely to examine the grave cloths. As they came out of the tomb the second time, they found Mary Magdalene returned and weeping before the entrance. Mary had gone to the apostles believing that Jesus had risen from the grave, but when they all refused to believe her report, she became downcast and despairing. She longed to go back near the tomb, where she thought she had heard the familiar voice of Jesus.
189:5.4 (2027.8)
As Mary lingered after Peter and John had gone, the Master again appeared to her, saying: “Be not doubting; have the courage to believe what you have seen and heard. Go back to my apostles and again tell them that I have risen, that I will appear to them, and that presently I will go before them into Galilee as I promised.”
