約翰福音18:15-18

 

18:15 西門•彼得跟著耶穌，還有一個門徒跟著。那門徒是大祭司所認識的，他就同耶穌進了大祭司的院子。

18:16 彼得卻站在門外。大祭司所認識的那個門徒出來，和看門的使女說了一聲，就領彼得進去。

18:17 那看門的使女對彼得說：「你不也是這人的門徒嗎？」他說：「我不是。」

18:18 僕人和差役因為天冷，就生了炭火，站在那裡烤火；彼得也同他們站著烤火。

 

¹⁵ Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard, ¹⁶ but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

¹⁷ “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.

He replied, “I am not.”

¹⁸ It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.

 

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

 

    彼得雖然跟著主耶穌到大祭司的院子，卻在那裏否定主耶穌！

 

    那看門的使女對彼得說：「你不也是這人的門徒嗎？」他說：「我不是。」

 

    僕人和差役因為天冷，就生了炭火，站在那裡烤火；彼得也同他們站著烤火。

 

    在這裡看見人性的軟弱，大話會說，真正生死交關的時候，仍然選擇逃避與否認！
