馬可福音10:46-52

 

10:46 到了耶利哥；耶穌同門徒並許多人出耶利哥的時候，有一個討飯的瞎子，是底買的兒子巴底買，坐在路旁。
10:47 他聽見是拿撒勒的耶穌，就喊著說：「大衛的子孫耶穌啊！可憐我吧！」
10:48 有許多人責備他，不許他作聲。他卻越發大聲喊著說：「大衛的子孫哪，可憐我吧！」
10:49 耶穌就站住，說：「叫過他來。」他們就叫那瞎子，對他說：「放心，起來！他叫你啦。」
10:50 瞎子就丟下衣服，跳起來，走到耶穌那裡。
10:51 耶穌說：「要我為你做甚麼？」瞎子說：「拉波尼（就是夫子），我要能看見。」
10:52 耶穌說：「你去吧！你的信救了你了。」瞎子立刻看見了，就在路上跟隨耶穌。

 

⁴⁶ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. ⁴⁷ When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁸ Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁹ Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” ⁵⁰ Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

⁵² “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

 

*************

 

     巴底買宣告主耶穌就是大衛的子孫，主耶穌就醫治了他的眼睛，他的生命就改變了，雖然主耶穌說：「你去吧！你的信救了你了。」瞎子立刻看見了，就在路上跟隨耶穌。

 

    但是我們要知道：「信心」是賜福的管道，但是真正有能力讓我們得拯救的是上帝，當將榮耀歸給上帝！

 

    而我們「信心」的產生是來自上帝的「信實」，讓我們將榮耀歸給上帝吧！
