1) 一個犹太教派, 似乎发轫於犹太人被掳之后。除了旧约书卷之外,
法利赛人还认可口传的信仰与生活准则。表面上恪守礼仪, 诸如洁
净、禁食、祷告、周济, 藉此沽名钓誉; 以自以为是的好行为自豪
, 相对之下却忽略了敬虔实质。坚信有善恶天使, 也期待弥赛亚降
临; 所怀的盼望是, 死人在阴间先经過赏罚之后, 神使之复活, 再
按著個别的行为报应各人。与执政的罗马当局唱反调, 拥护神权政
治并家国利益, 对普罗大众有举足轻重的影响力。根据犹太史学家
约瑟夫的研究, 他们总共有六千多人; 对耶稣恨之入骨, 耶稣也痛
斥他们人心不足蛇吞象、野心勃勃、假冒为善。 |

AV - Pharisee 100; 100
1) A sect that seems to have started after the Jewish exile. In
addition to OT books the Pharisees recognised in oral tradition a
standard of belief and life. They sought for distinction and
praise by outward observance of external rites and by outward
forms of piety, and such as ceremonial washings, fastings,
prayers, and alms giving; and, comparatively negligent of genuine
piety, they prided themselves on their fancied good works. They
held strenuously to a belief in the existence of good and evil
angels, and to the expectation of a Messiah; and they cherished
the hope that the dead, after a preliminary experience either of
reward or of penalty in Hades, would be recalled to life by him,
and be requited each according to his individual deeds. In
opposition to the usurped dominion of the Herods and the rule of
the Romans, they stoutly upheld the theocracy and their country's
cause, and possessed great influence with the common people.
According to Josephus they numbered more than 6000. They were
bitter enemies of Jesus and his cause; and were in turn severely
rebuked by him for their avarice, ambition, hollow reliance on
outward works, and affection of piety in order to gain popularity. |
