路加福音9:37-45

9:37 第二天，他們下了山，就有許多人迎見耶穌。
9:38 其中有一人喊叫說：「夫子！求你看顧我的兒子，因為他是我的獨生子。
9:39 他被鬼抓住就忽然喊叫；鬼又叫他抽瘋，口中流沫，並且重重地傷害他，難以離開他。
9:40 我求過你的門徒，把鬼趕出去，他們卻是不能。」
9:41 耶穌說：「噯！這又不信又悖謬的世代啊，我在你們這裡，忍耐你們要到幾時呢？將你的兒子帶到這裡來吧！」
9:42 正來的時候，鬼把他摔倒，叫他重重地抽瘋。耶穌就斥責那污鬼，把孩子治好了，交給他父親。
9:43 眾人都詫異上帝的大能（大能：或譯威榮）。耶穌所做的一切事，眾人正希奇的時候，耶穌對門徒說：
9:44 「你們要把這些話存在耳中，因為人子將要被交在人手裡。」
9:45 他們不明白這話，意思乃是隱藏的，叫他們不能明白，他們也不敢問這話的意思。

 

³⁷ The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. ³⁸ A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. ³⁹ A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. ⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. ⁴³ And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.

While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁴ “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.” ⁴⁵ But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

 

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

 

    主耶穌行了神蹟醫治被鬼附的小孩之後，再次宣告：「你們要把這些話存在耳中，因為人子將要被交在人手裡。」

 

    可見主耶穌一直沒有忘記要上十字架的使命，勇敢向耶路撒冷前行也是為此！

 

 

路加福音9:28-36

 

9:28 說了這話以後約有八天，耶穌帶著彼得、約翰、雅各上山去禱告。
9:29 正禱告的時候，他的面貌就改變了，衣服潔白放光。
9:30 忽然有摩西、以利亞兩個人同耶穌說話；
9:31 他們在榮光裡顯現，談論耶穌去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷將要成的事。
9:32 彼得和他的同伴都打盹，既清醒了，就看見耶穌的榮光，並同他站著的那兩個人。
9:33 二人正要和耶穌分離的時候，彼得對耶穌說：「夫子，我們在這裡真好！可以搭三座棚，一座為你，一座為摩西，一座為以利亞。」他卻不知道所說的是甚麼。
9:34 說這話的時候，有一朵雲彩來遮蓋他們；他們進入雲彩裡就懼怕。
9:35 有聲音從雲彩裡出來，說：「這是我的兒子，我所揀選的（有古卷：這是我的愛子），你們要聽他。」
9:36 聲音住了，只見耶穌一人在那裡。當那些日子，門徒不提所看見的事，一樣也不告訴人。

 

²⁸ About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. ²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. ³⁰ Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. ³¹ They spoke about his departure,^[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. ³² Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. ³³ As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

³⁴ While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. ³⁵ A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” ³⁶ When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

    主耶穌在山上榮耀的彰顯，並有天上的聲音說：「這是我的兒子，我所揀選的（有古卷：這是我的愛子），你們要聽他。」

 

    雖然摩西和以利亞都是上帝所重用的人，卻不能和主耶穌相比！同樣我們看見許多屬靈或信心的偉人，但是我們不要忘記這些人之所以能如此，是因為主耶穌的救贖，使上帝的榮光彰顯在他們身上！所以真正的偉大是因為主耶穌，因為主耶穌雖用人的樣式在人的中間，祂真正的身分是上帝的獨生子，也就是上帝！

 

    我們雖然看見許多見證人如雲彩圍繞我們，其實只見耶穌一人，這些人都是見證耶穌基督是上帝的兒子！

 

 

 

路加福音9:21-27

 

9:21 耶穌切切地囑咐他們，不可將這事告訴人，
9:22 又說：「人子必須受許多的苦，被長老、祭司長、和文士棄絕，並且被殺，第三日復活。」
9:23 耶穌又對眾人說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，天天背起他的十字架來跟從我。
9:24 因為，凡要救自己生命（生命：或譯靈魂；下同）的，必喪掉生命；凡為我喪掉生命的，必救了生命。
9:25 人若賺得全世界，卻喪了自己，賠上自己，有甚麼益處呢？
9:26 凡把我和我的道當作可恥的，人子在自己的榮耀裡，並天父與聖天使的榮耀裡降臨的時候，也要把那人當作可恥的。
9:27 我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒嘗死味以前，必看見上帝的國。」

 

²¹ Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. ²² And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

²³ Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. ²⁴ For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. ²⁵ What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? ²⁶ Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

²⁷ “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

 

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

 

    這是何等榮美的應許：「我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒嘗死味以前，必看見上帝的國。」

 

    是的！我們在基督裡，必定看見上帝國！因為上帝國就是上帝掌權的地方，上帝的榮美與公義的彰顯！只要我們勇敢跟隨主，必能感受到主耶穌復活的大能！正如主耶穌所說：「凡為我喪掉生命的，必救了生命。」

 

    正如希伯來書12章1-2節說：「我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌（或譯：仰望那將真道創始成終的耶穌）。他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在上帝寶座的右邊。」

 

 

 

路加福音9:18-20

9:18 耶穌自己禱告的時候，門徒也同他在那裡。耶穌問他們說：「眾人說我是誰？」
9:19 他們說：「有人說是施洗的約翰；有人說是以利亞；還有人說是古時的一個先知又活了。」
9:20 耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」彼得回答說：「是上帝所立的基督。」

 

¹⁸ Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”

¹⁹ They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”

²⁰ “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

 

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

 

    我們對主耶穌的認識應該如同彼得一般：「是上帝所立的基督。」

 

    基督的意義就是受膏者，在舊約稱為彌賽亞！而在神學上的定義就是：神人二性一位格；就祂的職分就是：先知、祭司和君王！
