約翰福音6: 16-24

 

6:16 到了晚上，他的門徒下海邊去，
6:17 上了船，要過海往迦百農去。天已經黑了，耶穌還沒有來到他們那裡。
6:18 忽然狂風大作，海就翻騰起來。
6:19 門徒搖櫓，約行了十里多路，看見耶穌在海面上走，漸漸近了船，他們就害怕。
6:20 耶穌對他們說：「是我，不要怕！」
6:21 門徒就喜歡接他上船，船立時到了他們所要去的地方。
6:22 第二日，站在海那邊的眾人知道那裡沒有別的船，只有一隻小船，又知道耶穌沒有同他的門徒上船，乃是門徒自己去的。
6:23 然而，有幾隻小船從提比哩亞來，靠近主祝謝後分餅給人吃的地方。
6:24 眾人見耶穌和門徒都不在那裡，就上了船，往迦百農去找耶穌。

 

¹⁶ When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, ¹⁷ where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. ¹⁸ A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. ¹⁹ When they had rowed about three or four miles,^[b] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. ²⁰ But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” ²¹ Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

²² The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. ²³ Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. ²⁴ Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

    主耶穌行在水面上，這個水面不是一般的水面，是暴風雨水面上，而且是一群門徒看見！表示主耶穌行神蹟不是幻術，而是真實的展現！因為主耶穌是全能真神，是勝過自然界的限制的上帝。

 

    這兩年來COVID-19疫情肆虐全球，威脅多少人的生活和健康，也使許多人喪命！然而主耶穌的大能必定勝過這瘟疫，我們相信上帝肯讓這瘟疫過去，因為主耶穌與我們同在，他要對我們說：「是我，不要怕！」

 

    主的同在是我們最大的勇氣，是的！主說：「是我，不要怕！」
