And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Él les dijo: 'Ustedes siempre tratan de quedar bien delante de la gente, pero Dios ve directamente su corazón. Las cosas que les dan prestigio y respeto aquí abajo, Dios las encuentra repugnantes.'
Dios ve más allá de las apariencias y desprecia lo que el mundo valora.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the context of Luke 16, Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees, who were religious leaders in first-century Jewish society known for their outward displays of righteousness while often prioritizing personal gain. This verse follows Jesus' parable of the unjust steward, where he criticizes the misuse of wealth and exposes the hypocrisy of those who seek human approval over God's standards. Historically, this reflects the cultural tensions in Judea, where religious practices were sometimes used to impress people rather than honor God.
