Matthew 15:2

Turkish (TCL02) NTB (New Turkish Bible) 2009 Version

Bu sırada Yeruşalim’den bazı Ferisiler ve din bilginleri İsa’ya gelip, “Öğrencilerin neden atalarımızın töresini çiğniyor?” diye sordular, “Yemekten önce ellerini yıkamıyorlar.”

Bu ne anlama geliyor?

This verse is from Matthew where the Pharisees are asking Jesus why his disciples don't follow their tradition of washing hands before eating bread. The key message here is about questioning traditions that aren't based on God's commands.

Çocuklar için açıklama

Imagine your friend has a rule about how to eat cookies, but you don't follow it because you think it's silly. That’s kind of what’s happening here: some people have rules they think everyone should follow, even if those rules aren’t really important.

Tarihsel arka plan

Matthew wrote this account in the first century AD for a primarily Jewish audience who would understand the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders over traditions versus God's commands. At that time, washing hands was seen as a necessary ritual to remain 'clean' before eating.
