2:1 五旬節到了,門徒都聚集在一處。
2:2 忽然,從天上有響聲下來,好像一陣大風吹過,充滿了他們所坐的屋子,
2:3 又有舌頭如火焰顯現出來,分開落在他們各人頭上。
2:4 他們就都被聖靈充滿,按著聖靈所賜的口才說起別國的話來。
2:5 那時,有虔誠的猶太人從天下各國來,住在耶路撒冷。
2:6 這聲音一響,眾人都來聚集,各人聽見門徒用眾人的鄉談說話,就甚納悶;
2:7 都驚訝希奇說:「看哪,這說話的不都是加利利人嗎?
2:8 我們各人怎麼聽見他們說我們生來所用的鄉談呢?
2:9 我們帕提亞人、米底亞人、以攔人,和住在美索不達米亞、猶太、加帕多家、本都、亞細亞、
2:10 弗呂家、旁非利亞、埃及的人,並靠近古利奈的利比亞一帶地方的人,從羅馬來的客旅中,或是猶太人,或是進猶太教的人,
2:11 克里特和阿拉伯人,都聽見他們用我們的鄉談,講說上帝的大作為。」
2:12 眾人就都驚訝猜疑,彼此說:「這是甚麼意思呢?」
2:13 還有人譏誚說:「他們無非是新酒灌滿了。」
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”

「他們就都被聖靈充滿,按著聖靈所賜的口才說起別國的話來」這段話常常被誤解為「說方言」或用「舌音講話」。但是,就上下文可知道聖靈降後,不是「說方言」或用「舌音講話」,是說人聽懂的話,如經文所說:「「看哪,這說話的不都是加利利人嗎?我們各人怎麼聽見他們說我們生來所用的鄉談呢?我們帕提亞人、米底亞人、以攔人,和住在美索不達米亞、猶太、加帕多家、本都、亞細亞、弗呂家、旁非利亞、埃及的人,並靠近古利奈的利比亞一帶地方的人,從羅馬來的客旅中,或是猶太人,或是進猶太教的人,克里特和阿拉伯人,都聽見他們用我們的鄉談,講說上帝的大作為。」
其實靈恩人士的出現,常常有許多曲解聖經之處,他們通常沒有好好閱讀聖經,憑著自以為是的方式來宣講信息,更可怕的是託上帝的名來講話,甚至用「我的兒女….」或「上帝對我說…」,讓人以為他們的話比聖經還重要!但是,仔細聽聽他們的話,不只不合邏輯,有時還與聖經教導違背呢!真是叫人啼笑皆非!
感謝上帝,這些混亂教會的人所闖出來的問題還不少,也讓人漸漸清楚這些所謂靈恩的信仰並不是真正的靈恩,只是人的自我膨脹,終究的原因還是出自人受罪的綑綁所造成的!
求上帝保守弟兄姊妹,好好的跟隨主耶穌,不要受到一些虛假的野心所影響,真正被聖靈所光照,能真誠地跟隨主耶穌!
