성경 [Korean Holy Bible] 마가복음

https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kr/41/1.htm장 16

안식일이 지나매 막달라 마리아와 야고보의 어머니 마리아와 또 살로메가 가서 예수께 바르기 위하여 향품을 사다 두었다가 2 안식 후 첫날 매우 일찌기 해 돋은 때에 그 무덤으로 가며 3 서로 말하되 누가 우리를 위하여 무덤 문에서 돌을 굴려 주리요 하더니 4 눈을 들어 본즉 돌이 벌써 굴려졌으니 그 돌이 심히 크더라 5 무덤에 들어가서 흰 옷을 입은 한 청년이 우편에 앉은 것을 보고 놀라매 6 청년이 이르되 놀라지 말라 너희가 십자가에 못 박히신 나사렛 예수를 찾는구나 그가 살아나셨고 여기 계시지 아니하니라 보라 그를 두었던 곳이니라 7 가서 그의 제자들과 베드로에게 이르기를 예수께서 너희보다 먼저 갈릴리로 가시나니 전에 너희에게 말씀하신대로 너희가 거기서 뵈오리라 하라 하는지라 8 여자들이 심히 놀라 떨며 나와 무덤에서 도망하고 무서워하여 아무에게 아무 말도 하지 못하더라 9 (예수께서 안식후 첫날 이른 아침에 살아나신 후 전에 일곱 귀신을 쫓아 내어 주신 막달라 마리아에게 먼저 보이시니 10 마리아가 가서 예수와 함께하던 사람들의 슬퍼하며 울고 있는 중에 이 일을 고하매 11 그들은 예수의 살으셨다는 것과 마리아에게 보이셨다는 것을 듣고도 믿지 아니하니라 12 그 후에 저희 중 두 사람이 걸어서 시골로 갈 때에 예수께서 다른 모양으로 저희에게 나타나시니 13 두 사람이 가서 남은 제자들에게 고하였으되 역시 믿지 아니하니라 14 그 후에 열 한 제자가 음식 먹을 때에 예수께서 저희에게 나타나사 저희의 믿음 없는 것과 마음이 완악한 것을 꾸짖으시니 이는 자기의 살아난 것을 본 자들의 말을 믿지 아니함일러라 15 또 가라사대 너희는 온 천하에 다니며 만민에게 복음을 전파하라 16 믿고 세례를 받는 사람은 구원을 얻을 것이요 믿지 않는 사람은 정죄를 받으리라 17 믿는 자들에게는 이런 표적이 따르리니 곧 저희가 내 이름으로 귀신을 쫓아 내며 새 방언을 말하며 18 뱀을 집으며 무슨 독을 마실찌라도 해를 받지 아니하며 병든 사람에게 손을 얹은즉 나으리라 하시더라 19 주 예수께서 말씀을 마치신 후에 하늘로 올리우사 하나님 우편에 앉으시니라 20 제자들이 나가 두루 전파할쌔 주께서 함께 역사하사 그 따르는 표적으로 말씀을 확실히 증거하시니라) https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kr/41/1.htm

DPRK Day 2; Nampho and Kaesong We traveled out to west Sea Barrage; built to manage the water flow at the mouth of the Taedong River, sustaining a vast fresh water reservoir, keeping salt water from entering the rice paddies and managing shipping with 3 huge (50k tonne) boat locks whilst linking two provinces with a many mile long causeway. Very interesting self-promotional ‘making of’ video and who doesn’t like a scale model of civil engineering works! A stroll around a collective farm (roughly 1,000 farmers split into work units and growing staple foods for both state and their village with rice etc divide according to role and amount of work) with a mural made by the country’s art unit in Pyongyang and leader’s sculptures presumably made by the same artist in same stylisation as the massive bronzes overlooking the capital. We heard a lot about 'on the spot guidance’ being given by leaders and willingly received by farmers. Back to Pyongyang for yet more food. Very tasty cabbage, gerkins, sour fermented spiced pickles. Good beer. Tasty kimchi and steamed rice. Then down in the car to Kaesong City below the 38th parallel. The whole journey from Pyongyang to the West Sea and also down to the DMZ was 100 miles of lush, green and fertile fields with rice paddys and sweetcorn growing most places and soy bean fields, vegetables and rolling hills between craggy rocks with occasional goat herds. Intersected by a wide, straight road with every crest cut through a pass with concrete stacked tank traps leaning over ready to be collapsed into the road. Occasional military checkpoints manned by student aged soldiers which took only a few seconds to be waved through as we passed practically no other vehicles in the whole day. Other than the giant and rowdy Chinese coach parties at the DMZ there were very few other tourists and we had most monuments, sites of interest or museum to ourselves, only meeting an older Aussie couple and two Dutch friends over the 3 days as well as seeing some retired American tour groups buying up every XXXL t-shirt in the gift shops. 95+% of the 200,000 or so annual tourists are Chinese; who broke into unprompted applause when our army guide explained how if America invades again there would be no second armistice as there would be no one on the American side left to sign any agreement. I think it was fair to say we were ceremonially placed on the south side of the negotiation table which gave the Chinese tourists plenty of opportunities to take photos of us, opposite the northern side. Our visit to Kaesong city and stay in an old courtyard house was very nice; partly just to sit in the cooler courtyard of our house, shoes off, listening to the sound of birdsong and fruit dropping from the persimmon tree into the small reflecting pool in the centre. Kaesong city is below the 38th parallel so whilst it changed hands in the Korean war and subsequently the DMZ was drawn up south of the city it was not subject to heavy aerial bombardment, thus many old curved tiled roof houses remained; winding streets and little waterways crossed by stone bridges. We were able to visit the tomb of the founding leader of ancient Koryo and listened to our guides dreams of reunification. Another rather extravagant meal followed, whilst it was very nice to be hosted in such a generous way we did feel guilty for not eating everything or perhaps not leaving more, I do hope our leftovers were not wasted. We were treated to an after dinner performance on the Korean harp with some rousing soviet style marching music performed excellently in the floor seated dining hall. Each meal in our tour package was served with a beer and a water which suited us a treat, though Kaesong is famous for ginseng, known for promoting long life. I can only imagine it works by pickling the internal organs, as after we put a sizable dent into a bottle of 52% ginseng spirit with Mr. Pak and Mr. O in the hotel bar I didn’t feel like I was heading towards longevity! At this point we had a power cut (or possibly it was just turned off for the night) so the barmaid produced a candle so we could continue in a flickering flame (and iPhone) lit bar. There’s a true love of singing in the country so we exchanged songs, all the classics came out; In The Bleak Midwinter and Home & Away featured at some point whilst traditional folk songs such as arirang were brilliantly performed by our guides as well as the other North Koreans in the bar. As we were the only foreigners present we had a great time, drinking, singing and being quizzed about the history of London and asked our opinions on everything from Greece’s potential euro exit, London’s Victorian sewerage system, the music from the film Titanic and the current British Royal family The Englishman
