全新四年樂活讀經
W4 2011-03-24 (太10)
經文: 馬太福音 10:5-6 耶穌差這十二個人去，吩咐他們說：「外邦人的路，你們不要走；撒瑪利亞人的城，你們不要進。寧可往以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。
默想: 主耶穌交代十二位使徒到各城各鄉去傳福音時，給他們很清楚的指示，就是這一次的遊行佈道，只限於到以色列家的城市，不要進入撒瑪利亞或是外邦人的城市。這並不是上帝永遠不變的旨意，只是要拯救以色列人而已。因為，主耶穌復活之後，就吩咐門徒，要往普天下傳福音了。主耶穌在世時，自己也迢迢千里的走到敘加城外向一位撒瑪利亞婦女傳福音。主耶穌也曾經前往外邦人的推羅西頓，去醫治一位迦南婦女的女兒。只是在這一次的差遣中，有很清楚的範圍。求主幫助我，在每次的傳福音事工，能夠清楚的從你得到該次事工的範圍，並且遵從你的吩咐去做。
題目: 耶穌為什麼要限制十二門徒傳福音只在「以色列家迷失的羊那裡去」？你有何看法？這對於宣道事工有何相關？
10:1 耶穌叫了十二個門徒來，給他們權柄，能趕逐污鬼，並醫治各樣的病症。
And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity.
10:2 這十二使徒的名：頭一個叫西門、又稱彼得，還有他兄弟安得烈，西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰，
The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zeb'edee, and John his brother;
10:3 腓力和巴多羅買，多馬和稅吏馬太，亞勒腓的兒子雅各，和達太，
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
10:4 奮銳黨的西門，還有賣耶穌的加略人猶大。
Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
10:5 耶穌差這十二個人去，吩咐他們說：「外邦人的路，你們不要走；撒馬利亞人的城，你們不要進；
These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans,
10:6 寧可往以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel .
10:7 隨走隨傳，說『天國近了！』
And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
10:8 醫治病人，叫死人復活，叫長大痲瘋的潔淨，把鬼趕出去。你們白白地得來，也要白白地捨去。
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.
10:9 腰袋裡不要帶金銀銅錢。
Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,
10:10 行路不要帶口袋；不要帶兩件褂子，也不要帶鞋和柺杖。因為工人得飲食是應當的。
no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food.
10:11 你們無論進哪一城，哪一村，要打聽那裡誰是好人，就住在他家，直住到走的時候。
And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart.
10:12 進他家裡去，要請他的安。
As you enter the house, salute it.
10:13 那家若配得平安，你們所求的平安就必臨到那家；若不配得，你們所求的平安仍歸你們。
And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
10:14 凡不接待你們、不聽你們話的人，你們離開那家，或是那城的時候，就把腳上的塵土跺下去。
And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town.
10:15 我實在告訴你們，當審判的日子，所多瑪和蛾摩拉所受的，比那城還容易受呢！」
Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomor'rah than for that town.
10:16 「我差你們去，如同羊進入狼群；所以你們要靈巧像蛇，馴良像鴿子。
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
10:17 你們要防備人；因為他們要把你們交給公會，也要在會堂裡鞭打你們，
Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues,
10:18 並且你們要為我的緣故被送到諸侯君王面前，對他們和外邦人作見證。
and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles.
10:19 你們被交的時候，不要思慮怎樣說話，或說甚麼話。到那時候，必賜給你們當說的話；
When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;
10:20 因為不是你們自己說的，乃是你們父的靈在你們裡頭說的。
for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
10:21 弟兄要把弟兄，父親要把兒子，送到死地；兒女要與父母為敵，害死他們；
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
10:22 並且你們要為我的名被眾人恨惡。惟有忍耐到底的必然得救。
and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
10:23 有人在這城裡逼迫你們，就逃到那城裡去。我實在告訴你們，以色列的城邑，你們還沒有走遍，人子就到了。
When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel , before the Son of man comes.
10:24 學生不能高過先生；僕人不能高過主人。
"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master;
10:25 學生和先生一樣，僕人和主人一樣，也就罷了。人既罵家主是別西卜（別西卜：是鬼王的名），何況他的家人呢？」
it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be-el'zebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
10:26 「所以，不要怕他們；因為掩蓋的事沒有不露出來的，隱藏的事沒有不被人知道的。
"So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
10:27 我在暗中告訴你們的，你們要在明處說出來；你們耳中所聽的，要在房上宣揚出來。
What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops.
10:28 那殺身體，不能殺靈魂的，不要怕他們；惟有能把身體和靈魂都滅在地獄裡的，正要怕他。
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
10:29 兩個麻雀不是賣一分銀子嗎？若是你們的父不許，一個也不能掉在地上；
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will.
10:30 就是你們的頭髮也都被數過了。
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31 所以，不要懼怕，你們比許多麻雀還貴重！」
Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
10:32 「凡在人面前認我的，我在我天上的父面前也必認他；
So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;
10:33 凡在人面前不認我的，我在我天上的父面前也必不認他。」
but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
10:34 「你們不要想我來是叫地上太平；我來並不是叫地上太平，乃是叫地上動刀兵。
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
10:35 因為我來是叫人與父親生疏，女兒與母親生疏，媳婦與婆婆生疏。
For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
10:36 人的仇敵就是自己家裡的人。
and a man's foes will be those of his own household.
10:37 「愛父母過於愛我的，不配作我的門徒；愛兒女過於愛我的，不配作我的門徒；
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
10:38 不背著他的十字架跟從我的，也不配作我的門徒。
and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
10:39 得著生命的，將要失喪生命；為我失喪生命的，將要得著生命。」
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
10:40 「人接待你們就是接待我；接待我就是接待那差我來的。
"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
10:41 人因為先知的名接待先知，必得先知所得的賞賜；人因為義人的名接待義人，必得義人所得的賞賜。
He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
10:42 無論何人，因為門徒的名，只把一杯涼水給這小子裡的一個喝，我實在告訴你們，這人不能不得賞賜。」
And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."
