路加福音9:37-45

9:37 第二天，他們下了山，就有許多人迎見耶穌。
9:38 其中有一人喊叫說：「夫子！求你看顧我的兒子，因為他是我的獨生子。
9:39 他被鬼抓住就忽然喊叫；鬼又叫他抽瘋，口中流沫，並且重重地傷害他，難以離開他。
9:40 我求過你的門徒，把鬼趕出去，他們卻是不能。」
9:41 耶穌說：「噯！這又不信又悖謬的世代啊，我在你們這裡，忍耐你們要到幾時呢？將你的兒子帶到這裡來吧！」
9:42 正來的時候，鬼把他摔倒，叫他重重地抽瘋。耶穌就斥責那污鬼，把孩子治好了，交給他父親。
9:43 眾人都詫異上帝的大能（大能：或譯威榮）。耶穌所做的一切事，眾人正希奇的時候，耶穌對門徒說：
9:44 「你們要把這些話存在耳中，因為人子將要被交在人手裡。」
9:45 他們不明白這話，意思乃是隱藏的，叫他們不能明白，他們也不敢問這話的意思。

 

³⁷ The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. ³⁸ A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. ³⁹ A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. ⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. ⁴³ And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.

While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁴ “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.” ⁴⁵ But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

 

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

 

    主耶穌行了神蹟醫治被鬼附的小孩之後，再次宣告：「你們要把這些話存在耳中，因為人子將要被交在人手裡。」

 

    可見主耶穌一直沒有忘記要上十字架的使命，勇敢向耶路撒冷前行也是為此！
