John 17:14

Korean 2021 (읽기 쉬운 성경)

저는 이들에게 아버지의 말씀을 주었는데, 세상은 이들을 미워합니다. 제가 세상에 속하지 않은 것처럼, 이 사람들도 세상에 속하지 않기 때문입니다.

이 구절의 의미

Jesus is speaking and says he has given the believers God's words, but because they are different from the world, the world hates them, just as Jesus was also different from the world.

어린이를 위한 설명

Imagine you have a special message that makes you act differently. The kids who hear it start to be treated differently by others who don’t understand this message, kind of like how a superhero feels when they’re not understood by regular people.

역사적 배경

This verse comes from the Gospel of John, written around 90-100 AD. It was directed at early Christian communities facing persecution for their beliefs. The cultural setting was one where followers of Jesus were seen as outsiders and faced hostility.

오늘의 적용

In a modern scenario, imagine being part of a small religious group in a predominantly secular workplace; you might face misunderstanding or even ridicule because your values differ from the norm, much like those early Christians did.
