馬可福音6:1-6

6:1 耶穌離開那裡，來到自己的家鄉；門徒也跟從他。
6:2 到了安息日，他在會堂裡教訓人。眾人聽見，就甚希奇，說：「這人從哪裡有這些事呢？所賜給他的是甚麼智慧？他手所做的是何等的異能呢？
6:3 這不是那木匠嗎？不是馬利亞的兒子雅各、約西、猶大、西門的長兄嗎？他妹妹們不也是在我們這裡嗎？」他們就厭棄他（厭棄他：原文是因他跌倒）。
6:4 耶穌對他們說：「大凡先知，除了本地、親屬、本家之外，沒有不被人尊敬的。」
6:5 耶穌就在那裡不得行甚麼異能，不過按手在幾個病人身上，治好他們。
6:6 他也詫異他們不信，就往周圍鄉村教訓人去了。

 

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. ² When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? ³ Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,^[a] Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

⁴ Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” ⁵ He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. ⁶ He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

    主耶穌說的沒有錯：「大凡先知，除了本地、親屬、本家之外，沒有不被人尊敬的。」

 

    也因為耶穌在家鄉沒有受到當有尊重，就在那裡不得行甚麼異能，不過按手在幾個病人身上，治好他們。他也詫異他們不信，就往周圍鄉村教訓人去了。

 

    因此，我們盼望從主耶穌得著賜福，我們一定要有敬畏和信靠的心，不然就會像主耶穌的鄉親一樣，與恩典擦身而過！

 

 

 

 

列王紀下15:32-38

15:32 以色列王利瑪利的兒子比加第二年，猶大王烏西雅的兒子約坦登基。
15:33 他登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。他母親名叫耶路沙，是撒督的女兒。
15:34 約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父親烏西雅一切所行的；
15:35 只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裡獻祭燒香。約坦建立耶和華殿的上門。
15:36 約坦其餘的事，凡他所行的都寫在猶大列王記上。
15:37 在那些日子，耶和華才使亞蘭王利汛和利瑪利的兒子比加去攻擊猶大。
15:38 約坦與他列祖同睡，葬在他祖大衛城他列祖的墳地裡。他兒子亞哈斯接續他作王。

 

³² In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. ³³ He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. ³⁴ He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done. ³⁵ The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord.

³⁶ As for the other events of Jotham’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? ³⁷ (In those days the Lord began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.) ³⁸ Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David, the city of his father. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.

He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit. ²⁵ One of his chief officers, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him. Taking fifty men of Gilead with him, he assassinated Pekahiah, along with Argob and Arieh, in the citadel of the royal palace at Samaria. So Pekah killed Pekahiah and succeeded him as king.
