馬太福音 12:36 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 12:36

But I say unto you
This form of speaking is used, the more strongly to asseverate the truth of what is after said; and the rather, because men are apt to indulge a liberty with their tongues; fancying no great crime is committed, when only words are spoken, and no facts done;

that every idle word that a man shall speak, they shall give account
thereof in the day of judgment.
By an "idle word" is meant, what the Jews call, (hlq hxyv) , "light conversation", and (ljb rbd) , "vain discourse", as the Hebrew Gospel of Munster reads it here; frothy language, unprofitable talk, which, though it does not directly hurt God or man, yet is of no use to speaker or hearer; and yet even this, in the last general and awful judgment, if not forgiven, and repented of, must be accounted for; and much more such horrid blasphemies the Pharisees had vented against Christ, and the Spirit of Christ. The Jews F4 have a saying pretty much like this,

``That even (hlq hxyv le) , "for any light conversation", which passes between a man and his wife, he shall "be brought to judgment".''

馬太福音 12:36 In-Context

34 毒 蛇 的 種 類 ! 你 們 既 是 惡 人 , 怎 能 說 出 好 話 來 呢 ? 因 為 心 裡 所 充 滿 的 , 口 裡 就 說 出 來 。
35 善 人 從 他 心 裡 所 存 的 善 就 發 出 善 來 ; 惡 人 從 他 心 裡 所 存 的 惡 就 發 出 惡 來 。
36 我 又 告 訴 你 們 , 凡 人 所 說 的 閒 話 , 當 審 判 的 日 子 , 必 要 句 句 供 出 來 ;
37 因 為 要 憑 你 的 話 定 你 為 義 , 也 要 憑 你 的 話 定 你 有 罪 。
38 當 時 , 有 幾 個 文 士 和 法 利 賽 人 對 耶 穌 說 : 夫 子 , 我 們 願 意 你 顯 個 神 蹟 給 我 們 看 。
