Turkish (TCL02) NTB (New Turkish Bible) 2009 Version
Oysa ben size diyorum ki, hiç ant içmeyin: Ne gök üzerine, çünkü orası Tanrı’nın tahtıdır; ne yer üzerine, çünkü orası O’nun ayak taburesidir; ne de Yeruşalim üzerine, çünkü orası Büyük Kral’ın kentidir.
Bu ne anlama geliyor?
In Matthew 5:35, Jesus advises against using the earth and Jerusalem for oaths because they hold significant spiritual value as God's footstool and city of the great King, respectively.
Çocuklar için açıklama
Imagine you have a special chair that your best friend sits on. You wouldn't use it to make promises about other things because it’s extra special to them. Jesus is saying we shouldn’t use big, important places like the earth or Jerusalem for our promises because they're super special to God.
Tarihsel arka plan
The verse comes from Matthew's Gospel, written around 80-90 AD. It was addressed to early Jewish and Gentile Christians who followed the Law, which included making oaths by significant religious symbols like heaven, earth, and Jerusalem.
