奴仆救主福音服事的行动（五）

The Move of the Slave-Savior’s Gospel Service (5)
1读经：马可福音七章一至二十三节。我们在前一篇信息，曾指出第七章法利赛人和经学家的反对，给了主耶稣一个绝佳的机会，来暴露人内里的光景，就是人心里的光景。
1Scripture Reading: Mark 7:1-23 In the foregoing message we pointed out that in chapter seven the opposition of the Pharisees and scribes gave the Lord Jesus an excellent opportunity to expose man’sin ward condition, the condition of man’she art
2主在七章十五节向众人说，『从人外面进去的，没有一样能污秽人，惟有从人里面出来的，乃能污秽人。』祂进了屋子，门徒就将这比喻问祂。主接著说，『连你们也是这样不领悟么？岂不知凡从外面进入的，不能污秽人？因为不是进入他的心，乃是进入他的肚腹，又排到茅厕里。祂这样说，就把各样的食物都洁净了。』（18～19。）主在十九节说到心。在二十节祂继续说，『从人里面出来的，那才污秽人。』祂接下去就列出从人心里发出的一切恶事。（21～22。）
2In 7:15 the Lord said to the crowd, “There is nothing outside of a man which entering into him can defile him, but the things coming out of a man are the things which defile a man.” When He had entered into a house, His disciples questioned Him concerning this saying. Then the Lord went on to say, “Are you also in the same manner without understanding? Do you not perceive that everything from outside entering into a man cannot defile him, because it does not enter into his heart, but into the stomach, and goes out into the drain, making all foods clean?” (vv. 18-19). In verse 19 the Lord refers to the heart. In verse 20 He continues, “That which goes out of a man, that defiles a man.” Following this, the Lord gives a list of some of the evil things that proceed out of man’she art (vv. 21-22
各种恶事的构成
A CONSTITUTION OF EVILS
3主在七章二十一至二十二节说，『因为从里面，就是从人心里，发出恶念、淫乱、偷窃、凶杀、奸淫、贪婪、邪恶、诡诈、淫荡、嫉妒、谤讟、狂傲、愚妄。』主在这里指明，心乃是恶事从人里面发出的部分。人心是腐朽、败坏的。堕落人的心坏到极处，无可救药。（耶十七9。）因此，我们不要以为我们的心是良善的。你也许外貌良善，心里却毫无良善。因这缘故，保罗承认他里面没有良善。（罗七18。）在马可七章，奴仆救主把人深处的光景暴露无遗。我们传福音时，也要摸人心里的光景。然而，今天所传的福音，大多没有这样作。我们要从马可七章主所说的话，来看我们内里真实的光景。我们心里的光景，实在就是各种恶事的组成。我们的心既然是败坏的，我们就绝不该以为牠是良善的。我们若以为我们的心是良善的，就是受欺，信从虚谎。凡自以为心地良善的，就是受欺。我们的心是败坏的，我们不该对牠存有丝毫的信任。
3In 7:21 and 22 the Lord says, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, blasphemy, arrogance, foolishness.” Here the Lord designates that part of man from which evil things proceed—the heart. Man’she art is rotten, corrupt. The heart of fallen man is corrupt to such an extent that it is incurable (Jer. 17:9). Therefore, we should not think that we are good in our heart. Perhaps you are good outwardly, but there is nothing good in your heart. For this reason, Paul could confess that nothing good dwelt within him (Rom. 7:18). In this chapter the depth of man’s condition is exposed by the Slave-Savior. In our preaching of the gospel we also should touch the condition of man’she art. However, much of today’s gospel preaching fails to do this. We need to see from the Lord’sword in chapters even of the Gospel of Mark what our inward condition really is. The actual condition of our heart is that it is a constitution of evils. Because our heart is corrupt, we should never think that it is good. To believe that our heart is good is to be deceived and to believe a lie. Anyone who thinks that he has a good heart is deceived. Our heart is corrupt, and we should not have any trust in it.
4主在二十一节使用『发出』一辞。这一节说，恶念、淫乱、偷窃、凶杀，是从人的心里发出的。『发出』含示继续的意思。恶事不但是从人的心出来的，更是不断的从心发出，接二连三的发出来。
4In verse 21 the Lord Jesus uses the word “proceed.” According to this verse, evil reasonings, fornications, thefts, and murders proceed out of the heart of men. The word “proceed” implies continuation. Not only do evil things come out of man’she art; they continually proceed out from his heart, coming forth one after another
恶念
evil reasonings
5奴仆救主列出从心里发出的恶事，第一项是恶念。意念当然是从人的心思发出的。新约告诉我们，堕落人的心思是可弃绝、不蒙称许的。（罗一28。）人的心思既然是可弃绝的，从心思出来的，当然没有一件是神所悦纳、所称义的。堕落之人心思里一切的意念，都是神所定罪、所弃绝的。因著我们堕落的心思是可弃绝的，不论我们的意念看来多么好，都是邪恶的。
5The first item listed by the Slave-Savior as proceeding out of man’she art is evil reasonings. Reasonings, of course, come from the mind. The New Testament tells us that the mind of fallen man is reprobate, disapproved (Rom. 1:28). Because man’s mind is reprobate, nothing that comes out of it can be accepted by God or justified by Him. Rather, the reasonings of the fallen mind of man are condemned and rejected by God. Because our fallen mind is reprobate, our reasonings are evil, no matter how good they may seem to be
淫乱和偷窃
Fornications and Thefts
6主说到恶念后，又列出淫乱。我们需要深深的领会一个事实，就是主说到这些事时并不是轻率的。相反的，祂晓得人内里的光景，就小心翼翼的论到人心里所发出的事物。首先题到恶念，然后说到淫乱，这指明恶念与淫乱有关。马可七章二十一节所列的第三项是『偷窃』。也许有人自称从来没有偷过东西。其实，人人都偷窃过，只是方式不同。事实上，犯淫乱本身就是偷窃，因为是非法而得的。偷窃就是非法取得东西。按原则说，淫乱是属于这一类。犯淫乱是循著非法的途径而行，这种途径不是神所命定的。凡是非法夺取的，不仅是偷窃，原则上也是犯淫乱。
6After evil reasonings, the Lord lists fornications. We need to be impressed with the fact that the Lord did not speak of these things in a careless way. On the contrary, knowing man’sin ward situation, He speaks in a careful way of what proceeds out of man’she art. First come the evil reasonings and then fornications. This indicates that the evil reasonings are related to fornication. The third item in verse 21 is “thefts.” Some may claim that they have never stolen anything. In fact, everyone has committed theft in one way or other. Actually, fornication itself is a kind of theft, for it is a matter of obtaining something improperly. To steal is to take something illegally. In principle, fornication is in this category. Fornication is a matter of following an illegal course, a course not ordained by God. Anything that is taken illegally is a matter not only of theft but also in the principle of fornication
7我们虽然得救了，是神的儿女，但我们堕落的天性，包括我们的旧心，仍然存在。特别是淫乱与偷窃这两件恶事，更是蹲伏在我们后面，伺机破坏我们。历代以来，许多基督徒，包括牧师和传道者，陷入淫乱的网罗里。甚至许多爱主耶稣的人，也在这件事上失败了。许多人忽略了他们的心思是邪恶的事实。结果，他们没有和异性保持距离，而陷入淫乱。
7Although we are saved ones, children of God, our fallen nature, including our old heart, is still with us. In particular, the two evil things — fornication and theft — are crouching behind us, waiting for an opportunity to ruin us. Throughout the centuries, many Christians, including pastors and ministers, have fallen into the snare of fornication. Even many of those who love the Lord Jesus have been caught in this way. Many have disregarded the fact that their heart is evil. As a result, they failed to keep a proper distance from the opposite sex and fell into fornication.
8实在说来，召会生活是一种社会生活；男女经常彼此接触。我们需要保守自己，与异性维持适当的距离，免得发生淫乱的危险。我愿意强调一个事实，就是我们虽然重生了，但是照新约的教导，我们的旧性情仍然存在。我们绝不可忘记这个事实。在我们的身体得赎并改变形状以前，我们总有堕落的性情。无论你怎样圣别，你要知道，你还有堕落的性情。为此，我劝告圣徒们，不可与异性独处一室。我非常欣赏、尊重这个国家。然而，我对于这里男女彼此接触太随便这个事实，很受搅扰。好多妇女不晓得她们有受玷污的危险。如果她们有这种意识，就会保守自己与异性维持适当的距离。
8In a real sense, the church life is a social life. Males and females often have contact with one another. Because of the danger of fornication, we need to keep ourselves at a proper distance from the opposite sex. I wish to emphasize the fact that even though we have been regenerated, according to the teaching of the New Testament, our old nature remains with us. We should never forget this fact. Until our body has been redeemed, transfigured, our fallen nature will be with us. No matter how holy you may be, you need to realize that you still have your fallen nature. This is the reason I advise the saints not to be in a room alone with a member of the opposite sex. I appreciate and respect this country very much. Nevertheless, I am bothered by the fact that males and females are too free in their contact with one another. Many women are not aware of the danger of being defiled. If they had such a consciousness, they would keep themselves at a proper distance from the opposite sex
9我们已经指出，我们传福音时，需要摸到人心里的光景。我们特别需要暴露一个事实，就是原则上所有堕落的人都是偷窃、犯淫乱的。我在中国传福音时，常常说，『你们这班先生女士外表温文儒雅，但是如果我用Ｘ光拍摄你们内里的光景，你们就不敢留在这里。你们晓得自己里面是邪恶、不洁的。甚至你们听这篇信息时，也许正存著恶念。你们外表是绅士淑女，心里却是污秽不洁。』恶念是从人心里发出的，这是事实；这些意念与淫乱、偷窃有关。在马可七章，奴仆救主在祂的福音服事中，论到人内里的光景，这是非常有意义的。我们应该记得，主在七章二十一至二十三节的话不是向群众说的，乃是向亲密跟从祂的人说的。主似乎是在这里说，『彼得、约翰、雅各，你们都必须看见，从你们心里会发出恶念、淫乱和偷窃。』
9As we have indicated, in our preaching of the gospel we need to touch the condition of man’s he art. In particular, we need to expose the fact that in principle all fallen people are fornicators and thieves. When I was preaching the gospel in China, I often used to say, “You ladies and gentlemen appear to be very nice. But suppose I could take an x-ray picture of what you are inside. If I did this, you would not have the boldness to remain here. You know that you are evil inside and unclean. Perhaps even as you are listening to this message, you are reasoning concerning evil things. You have the appearance of a lady or gentleman, but in your inward condition you are filthy.” It is a fact that evil reasonings proceed out of man’she art, and these reasonings are related to fornication and theft. It is very significant that in chapter seven of Mark the Slave - Savior in His gospel service touches the inward condition of man. We should remember that the Lord’s word in 7:21-23 is a word uttered not to the crowd but to His intimate followers. It seems that here the Lord is saying, “Peter, John, James—you all need to realize that out from your hearts proceed evil reasonings, fornications, and thefts.”
凶杀和奸淫
Murders and Adulteries
10主所列举从人心里发出的恶事，下一项是凶杀。许多凶杀案都是为著淫乱或偷窃而犯的。淫乱与偷窃经常导致凶杀。
10The next item mentioned by the Lord as proceeding out of man’s he art is murder. Many murders are committed for the sake of fornication or theft. Fornication and theft often issue in murder.
11主接著论到奸淫。淫乱与奸淫有别。已婚的人若与另一已婚的人犯罪，那是奸淫。未婚的人若与另一未婚的人苟合，那是淫乱。主在这里同时题到奸淫和淫乱。
11Next, the Lord goes on to speak of adulteries. There is a difference between adultery and fornication. If a married person commits sin with another married person, that is adultery. But if an unmarried person commits sin with another unmarried one, that is fornication. Here the Lord speaks concerning both fornication and adultery
贪婪
covetousness
12主接著题到贪婪，保罗告诉我们，他能胜过其他的事，却不能胜过贪婪。他能遵守十诫的每一条，却不能遵守不可贪婪的诫命。『非律法说，「不可起贪心，」我就不知何为贪心。然而罪藉著诫命得著机会，叫诸般的贪心在我里面发动。』（罗七7～。）保罗不能遵守不可贪婪的诫命，原因在于这条诫命与人内里的光景有关；其他的诫命则与外面的行为有关。贪婪与主所说的其他恶事一样，是从人心里的败坏所发出来的。
12The Lord goes on to speak of covetousness. Paul tells us that he could overcome other things, but he could not overcome covetousness (Rom. 7:7-8). He could keep all of the Ten Commandments except the commandment concerning covetousness. “For I had not known coveting except the law had said, You shall not covet. But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, wrought in me coveting of every kind” (Rom. 7:7-8). The reason Paul could not fulfill the commandment8 about covetousness is that this commandment is related to man’sin ward condition, whereas the other commandments are concerned with outward conduct. Covetousness, like the other evil things mentioned by the Lord, proceeds out of the corruption of man’she art.
诡诈和淫荡
Deceit and Licentiousness
13主在马可七章二十二节继续说到邪恶、诡诈、淫荡、嫉妒、谤讟、狂傲、愚妄。繙作『诡诈』的希腊字也可繙为『诈骗』。淫乱、奸淫、与淫荡属于一类。我们已经指出奸淫与淫乱的不同，凡是纵欲犯奸淫或淫乱的人都是淫荡的。主的确晓得人真实的光景，为这缘故，祂用了这些特别的辞。
13In 7:22 the Lord goes on to speak of wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, blasphemy, arrogance, and foolishness. The Greek word rendered “deceit” may also be translated “guile.” Fornication, adultery, and licentiousness are of one category. We have pointed out the difference between adultery and fornication. Those who indulge either in fornication or in adultery are licentious persons. The Lord certainly knows man’s actual situation. This is the reason He uses these particular words
嫉妒和谤讟
A Wicked Eye and Blasphemy
14这里的嫉妒，原文作『恶眼』。我们也许会希奇，恶眼与我们的心有甚么关系。眼好像不会在我们心里。然而，我们若考量这事，就会看见有时候我们的心有恶眼。照主的话来看，恶眼（嫉妒）是从我们的心里发出来的。
14We may wonder what a wicked eye has to do with our heart. It may seem that the eye cannot be in the heart. However, if we consider this matter, we shall see that sometimes in our heart we may have a wicked eye. According to the Lord’s word, a wicked eye is something that proceeds out from our heart.
15在二十二节，恶眼（嫉妒）之后接著是谤讟。恶眼（嫉妒）是向著其他的人，而谤讟主要的是针对神。
15In verse 22, a wicked eye is followed by blasphemy. A wicked eye is toward other persons, but blasphemy is mainly directed toward God.
狂傲和愚妄
arrogance, and foolishness
16主所说的最后二项是狂傲和愚妄，狂傲比骄傲更厉害。愚妄的含意是荒谬。我们心里发出的，多半是愚妄、荒谬。诊断我们内里的光景
16The last two items mentioned by the Lord are arrogance and foolishness. Arrogance is even stronger than pride. Foolishness here denotes nonsense. Much of what proceeds out of our heart is foolishness, nonsense. A DIAGNOSIS OF OUR INWARD CONDITION
17主在七章二十一至二十二节列出十三项。保罗在罗马一章形容堕落的人时，所列举的更多。但主列出的十三项，已经足彀描绘堕落之人的心实际的光景和情形。我们要晓得，这些事仍然在我们老旧、败坏的心里。主在马可七章所形容的，正是我们内心的情形。我年轻时很喜爱约翰福音，因为这是一卷论到生命的书。约翰十章十节说，主耶稣来了，是要叫我们得生命，并且得的更丰盛。我们在马可福音找不到『生命』这个辞，但在这卷书中却有生命的实际。例如，马可四章的种子含示生命。主来撒国度的种子。祂撒种就是祂分赐生命；撒种就是分赐生命，因此，马可福音是一部实际讲述生命的记载。马可七章不是单单告诉我们，人的心是邪恶的，因为这样说只是讲道理。马可乃是记载主耶稣所说的话，论到从我们心里发出的事。这是实际的对付我们的心。我们由此看见，马可福音这卷书不是讲道理，乃是讲实际，讲真实的情形。
17In 7:21 and 22 the Lord lists thirteen items. Paul gives a much longer list in his description of fallen mankind in chapter one of Romans. But the thirteen items listed by the Lord are sufficient to describe the actual condition and situation of the heart of fallen man. We need to realize that all these things are still in our old, corrupted heart. The condition of our heart is that described by the Lord in Mark 7. When I was young, I loved the Gospel of John because it is a book on life. According to John 10:10, the Lord Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly. In the Gospel of Mark we may not find the word “life,” but in this book we have life in actuality, if not in terminology. For example, the seed in Mark 4 implies life. The Lord came to sow the seed of the kingdom. For Him to sow the seed means that He imparts life. The sowing of the seed is the imparting of life. What we have in Mark, therefore, is a record concerning life written in a practical way. In chapter seven Mark does not simply tell us that man’she art is evil. To talk like that would be to speak in a doctrinal way. What Mark does is record the word of the Lord Jesus concerning what comes out of our heart. This is to deal with the heart in a practical way. From this we see that Mark is not a book on doctrine; instead, Mark is a book on practicality, on actuality
18主在马可七章，特意列出从我们心里发出的恶事。关于这点，我们没有一个人例外。第七章摸到人内里的光景，因此是很特出的。奴仆救主在祂的福音服事里，利用反对者所给祂的机会，暴露、分析、并诊断人内里的光景。在七章二十一至二十二节，主诊断我们心里的光景。每一个人的心都有问题，主诊断人心里的光景，可以应用在我们每个人身上。
18In chapter seven of the Gospel of Mark the Lord purposely lists the evil things that come out of our heart. None of us is an exception. Chapter seven is outstanding in that it touches man’sin ward condition. In His gospel service the Slave-Savior took the opportunity afforded Him by the opposers to expose, analyze, and diagnose man’sin ward condition. In 7:21 and 22 we have the diagnosis of the condition of our heart. Every human being has a heart problem, and the Lord’s diagnosis of the condition of man’she art applies to each one of us
19主诊断人的心以后，就在七章二十三节下结语说，『这一切的恶，都是从里面发出来，且能污秽人。』从里面发出的恶，乃是人堕落和有罪的性情所产生的恶果。（罗七18。）恶事不仅在我们心里，也从我们里面发出来。这就是说，人的心里不断发出恶事，并且所发出来的都能污秽人。当世人度完周末返回工作时，他们常常谈论自己纵情恣欲的恶事。他们所谈论的，是从心里所发出的恶事。他们也许受过教育，举止端庄，但从他们的心里，从他们的口中所发出的，却是邪恶、污秽人的事。主的福音能对付人心里的光景。但我们在马可七章只有诊断，还没有积极的对付心。在那一章里，主剖开我们的心，使其赤露敞开，然后好像把我们放在『手术台』上。但是第七章不是本书的终结，我们在马可福音以后几章里，会看见主如何是知道人心的『心事专家』，以及祂如何照顾人心里的光景。
19Concluding His diagnosis of man’she art, in 7:23 the Lord says, “All these wicked things proceed from within, and they defile a man.” The wicked things that proceed from within are the evil issues of man’s fallen and sinful nature (Rom. 7:18). Not only are wicked things in our heart; these things proceed out from within us. This means that there is a procession of wicked things out from the heart of man, a procession that is defiling. When worldly people come back to work after the weekend, they often speak about the evil things they have been indulging in. Their conversation is a procession of evil things from within their heart. They may be educated and well-mannered, but from within their heart and out of their mouth comes a procession of evil, defiling things. The Lord’s gospel is able to deal with the condition of man’she art. In chapter seven, however, we have only the diagnosis; we do not yet have the dealing with the heart in a positive way. In this chapter the Lord opens our heart, exposes it, and then seems to leave us on the “operating table.” But chapter seven is not the end of the book. In the remaining chapters of the Gospel of Mark we shall see how the Lord is the “heart expert” who knows man’she art and how He takes care of the condition of man’she art
20第七章所描绘的图画，与前几章所描绘的大不相同。第七章以前有社会、世界的图画。但第七章是一幅我们内里光景的图画，就是我们心中内里光景的图画。
20The picture portrayed in chapter seven is very different from the pictures in the preceding chapters. Before chapter seven, we have pictures of society, of the world. But in chapter seven we have a picture of our inward condition, a picture of the inward situation of our heart
三件重要的事
THREE CRUCIAL MATTERS
十诫
the Ten Commandments
21我们若仔细研读七章一至二十三节，就会看见主在这里的话，实际上包括了全部十条诫命。主在八节甚至用『诫命』一辞：『你们是离弃神的诫命，拘守人的传统。』祂在九节继续说，『你们巧妙的废弃神的诫命，为要遵守自己的传统。』主在十三节论到神的话时，指出宗教徒藉著他们的传统，使神的话失去效力。马可福音的这一段话指出，诫命就是神的话。
21If we study 7:1-23 carefully, we shall see that the Lord’sword here actually covers all of the Ten Commandments. The Lord even uses the word “commandment” in verse 8: “Leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men.” Then in verse 9 He goes on to say, “You nicely set aside the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.” In verse 13 the Lord speaks of the word of God, pointing out that the religious ones were invalidating the word of God by their tradition. In this portion of the Gospel of Mark the commandments are the word of God.
22我们研读马可福音这段话时，看见这里主的话与敬拜有关。十诫的头四条与敬拜神有关。第五条诫命说到孝敬父母。主在十节特别题到孝敬父母的诫命。这里所记载主其余的话与最后五条诫命有关，这些诫命是论到奸淫、偷窃、凶杀、作假见证与贪婪。我们若把这些事摆在一起，就会看见，主与法利赛人和经学家、群众、及门徒的谈话，都是根据十诫的。法利赛人和经学家废弃神的话，意思就是废弃十诫。我们要看见，在马可福音这一段里，主的话包括了十诫，这是很重要的。
22As we study this portion of Mark, we see that here the Lord’sword is concerned with the worship of God. The first four of the Ten Commandments are related to the worship of God. The fifth commandment is about honoring our parents. In verse 10 the Lord specifically refers to the commandment to honor our father and mother. The remainder of the Lord’sword recorded here deals with the last five commandments, the commandments about fornication, theft, murder, false witness, and covetousness. If we consider all these matters together, we shall see that the Lord’s conversation with the Pharisees and scribes, the crowd, and the disciples was based on the Ten Commandments. For the Pharisees and scribes to invalidate the word of God meant that they were invalidating the Ten Commandments. It is important for us to see that in this section of the Gospel of Mark the Ten Commandments are covered by the Lord’sword.
传统和人心
Tradition and Man’sHe art
23马可七章一至二十三节实际上说到三件重要的事：主的诫命，就是主的话；人的传统；以及人心里真实的光景。人心里的光景总是被神的话，或神的诫命暴露出来。然而，人的传统总是遮盖人心里的光景。为这缘故，凡是拘守传统的地方，就有假冒为善。传统不会暴露人真实的光景，反而有所遮盖。主甚至说，法利赛人和经学家『巧妙的废弃神的诫命，为要遵守自己的传统』。（9。）外表看来，传统是好的，实际上却是狡猾的；凡是拘守传统的人，都是假冒为善的。假冒为善充斥在今天的宗教里，因为传统太多，以致把人真实的光景遮盖起来。但神的话总是暴露人内里的光景。
23Mark 7:1-23 actually covers three crucial matters: the commandment of the Lord, the word of God; the tradition of man; and the real condition of man’she art. The condition of man’she art is always exposed by the word of God, or the commandments of God. But the tradition of man always covers up the condition of man’she art. For this reason, wherever tradition is maintained there is hypocrisy. Instead of exposing the real situation of man, tradition covers it. The Lord even says that the Pharisees and scribes “nicely set aside the commandment of God” so that they could keep their tradition (v. 9). Apparently traditions are good. Actually they are subtle, and those who maintain such traditions are hypocrites. In religion today there is much hypocrisy because there is so much tradition to cover up man’s real condition. But the word of God always exposes man’sin ward situation
24马可福音这段简短的话中，应用了十诫。实际上，主耶稣重复了十诫，利用十诫暴露人内里的光景。法利赛人和经学家在意洗手，但十诫却根本不题洗手。在应用十诫时，最重要的不是洗手，而是怀著真诚的心来敬拜神，孝敬父母，并且忠信的履行我们的责任。神的诫命不是要暴露人手中的脏污，乃是要暴露人心里的污秽。因此，主重复了十诫，为要暴露人心里实际的光景。我鼓励你们照著这几点，好好的探讨马可福音这段话。
24In this short portion of the Gospel of Mark, the Ten Commandments are applied. The Lord Jesus is actually repeating the Ten Commandments and using them to expose man’sin ward condition. Whereas the Pharisees and scribes were concerned with the washing of hands, there is no mention of such washing in the Ten Commandments. What is important in the application of the Ten Commandments is not that we was hour hands, but that we come to worship God with a sincere heart, honor our parents, and faithfully carry out our duties. God’s commandments do not expose the dirt on man’s hands; they expose the filthiness in man’s he art. Therefore, the Lord repeats the Ten Commandments in order to uncover the actual condition of man’she art. I encourage you to look into this portion of the Gospel of Mark according to these points.
