路加福音17:11-19

 

17:11 耶穌往耶路撒冷去，經過撒馬利亞和加利利。
17:12 進入一個村子，有十個長大痲瘋的，迎面而來，遠遠地站著，
17:13 高聲說：「耶穌，夫子，可憐我們吧！」
17:14 耶穌看見，就對他們說：「你們去把身體給祭司察看。」他們去的時候就潔淨了。
17:15 內中有一個見自己已經好了，就回來大聲歸榮耀與上帝，
17:16 又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他；這人是撒馬利亞人。
17:17 耶穌說：「潔淨了的不是十個人嗎？那九個在哪裡呢？
17:18 除了這外族人，再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與上帝嗎？」
17:19 就對那人說：「起來，走吧！你的信救了你了。」

 

¹¹ Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy^[b] met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

    真正謙卑的人是會感謝上帝的人，因為當人感謝上帝就是承認上帝的拯救，承認自己是無能的，唯有上帝是能！

 

    人愛炫耀自己或巴結別人，就是不敬畏上帝，把上帝該得的榮耀歸給虛謊的人，這是上帝所不喜悅的，也是人墮落的表現！

 

    求主幫主我們，成為一位懂得感謝上帝的人！
