全新四年樂活讀經                        
W2  2011-10-18 (1)
經文: 馬可福音 1:1 神的兒子,耶穌基督福音的起頭。

默想: 馬可福音所記載的主耶穌基督的生平,是從施洗約翰在約但河,為主耶穌公開施洗,並且為主耶穌見證,說主耶穌就是上帝的羔羊,背負世人罪孽的,作為福音的起頭。與四福音所記載主耶穌生平的起頭互相比較來看。約翰福音似乎是看到宇宙創造之前之太初時期,太初有道,道與神同在,道就是神,這道太初與神同在。萬物是藉著他造的;凡被造的,沒有一樣不是藉著他造的 (1:1-3) 因此,從約翰的角度來看,福音的起頭是在宇宙萬物的被創造。路加福音323節提及主耶穌出來傳道時,先提到主耶穌基督的族譜,從他的養父約瑟是希里半子起算,追溯主耶穌基督生母馬利亞的族譜,一直到人類的始祖亞當為止 (3:38)。因此,從路加的角度來看,福音的起頭是從人類的始祖亞當開始的。馬太福音則開宗名義,從一開始就提出,亞伯拉罕的後裔,大衛的子孫耶穌基督的家譜 (1:1)。馬太主要的讀者對象是猶太人,因此,馬太從猶太人的始祖亞伯拉罕開始談到主耶穌基督福音的起頭。主耶穌基督的福音是為猶太人預備的。路加是為外邦人寫的福音,因此,把福音的起頭往前推到人類的共同始祖亞當。主耶穌基督的福音是為全人類預備的。約翰是以希利尼人為主要的對象,因此從哲學的角度,把主耶穌基督福音的起頭,更往前推到天地萬物的創造。主耶穌基督的福音是為宇宙萬物而預備的。馬可福音是針對羅馬人寫的,是四福音中最為簡潔的,既沒有馬太福音對於舊約的引經據典,也沒有路加福音對於社會弱勢族群的細微觀察與記錄,更沒有約翰福音從哲學角度探討主耶穌基督福音本質的哲學意義的長篇闊論。馬可福音直接從主耶穌基督到約但河接受施洗約翰公開洗禮,並且得到聖靈降臨與天父發聲的印證,作為福音的起頭。馬可福音甚至把主耶穌的出生與成長過程都略過不題。這是馬可針對羅馬人不喜歡長篇大論的特點,直接了當的從主耶穌出來傳道作為福音的起頭。由此,我們可以看到福音本質的單一性與福音表現的多樣性。

題目: 你認為耶穌在約旦河受洗與在曠野受試探,對於祂的宣道侍奉有何意義?
1:1  神的兒子,耶穌基督福音的起頭。
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2
正如先知以賽亞(有古卷無以賽亞三個字)書上記著說:看哪,我要差遣我的使者在你前面,預備道路。
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;
1:3
在曠野有人聲喊著說:預備主的道,修直他的路。
the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight -- "
1:4
照這話,約翰來了,在曠野施洗,傳悔改的洗禮,使罪得赦。
John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
1:5
猶太全地和耶路撒冷的人,都出去到約翰那裡,承認他們的罪,在約旦河裡受他的洗。
And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
1:6
約翰穿駱駝毛的衣服腰束皮帶,吃的是蝗蟲、野蜜。
Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.
1:7
他傳道說:「有一位在我以後來的,能力比我更大,我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶也是不配的。
And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
1:8
我是用水給你們施洗,他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。」
I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
1:9
那時,耶穌從加利利的拿撒勒來,在約旦河裡受了約翰的洗。
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
1:10
他從水裡一上來,就看見天裂開了,聖靈彷彿鴿子,降在他身上。
And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;
1:11
又有聲音從天上來,說:「你是我的愛子,我喜悅你。」
and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."
1:12
聖靈就把耶穌催到曠野裡去。
The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.
1:13
他在曠野四十天,受撒但的試探,並與野獸同在一處,且有天使來伺候他。
And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
1:14
約翰下監以後,耶穌來到加利利,宣傳 神的福音,
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
1:15
說:「日期滿了, 神的國近了。你們當悔改,信福音!」
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."
1:16
耶穌順著加利利的海邊走,看見西門和西門的兄弟安得烈在海裡撒網;他們本是打魚的。
And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
1:17
耶穌對他們說:「來跟從我,我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣。」
And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."
1:18
他們就立刻捨了網,跟從了他。
And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
1:19
耶穌稍往前走,又見西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰在船上補網。
And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.
1:20
耶穌隨即招呼他們,他們就把父親西庇太和雇工人留在船上,跟從耶穌去了。
And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.
1:21
到了迦百農,耶穌就在安息日進了會堂教訓人。
And they went into Caper'na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.
1:22
眾人很希奇他的教訓;因為他教訓他們,正像有權柄的人,不像文士。
And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
1:23
在會堂裡,有一個人被污鬼附著。他喊叫說:
And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
1:24
「拿撒勒人耶穌,我們與你有甚麼相干?你來滅我們麼?我知道你是誰,乃是 神的聖者。」
and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."
1:25
耶穌責備他說:「不要作聲!從這人身上出來吧。」
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"
1:26
污鬼叫那人抽了一陣瘋,大聲喊叫,就出來了。
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
1:27
眾人都驚訝,以致彼此對問說:「這是甚麼事?是個新道理啊!他用權柄吩咐污鬼,連污鬼也聽從了他。」
And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
1:28
耶穌的名聲就傳遍了加利利的四方。
And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
1:29
他們一出會堂,就同著雅各、約翰,進了西門和安得烈的家。
And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
1:30
西門的岳母正害熱病躺著,就有人告訴耶穌。
Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.
1:31
耶穌進前拉著她的手,扶她起來,熱就退了,她就服事他們。
And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.
1:32
天晚日落的時候,有人帶著一切害病的,和被鬼附的,來到耶穌跟前。
That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.
1:33
合城的人都聚集在門前。
And the whole city was gathered together about the door.
1:34
耶穌治好了許多害各樣病的人,又趕出許多鬼,不許鬼說話,因為鬼認識他。
And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
1:35
次日早晨,天未亮的時候,耶穌起來,到曠野地方去,在那裡禱告。
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.
1:36
西門和同伴追了他去,
And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,
1:37
遇見了就對他說:「眾人都找你。」
and they found him and said to him, "Every one is searching for you."
1:38
耶穌對他們說:「我們可以往別處去,到鄰近的鄉村,我也好在那裡傳道,因為我是為這事出來的。」
And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."
1:39
於是在加利利全地,進了會堂,傳道,趕鬼。
And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
1:40
有一個長大痲瘋的來求耶穌,向他跪下,說:「你若肯,必能叫我潔淨了。」
And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."
1:41
耶穌動了慈心,就伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I will; be clean."
1:42
大痲瘋即時離開他,他就潔淨了。
And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
1:43
耶穌嚴嚴地囑咐他,就打發他走,
And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,
1:44
對他說:「你要謹慎,甚麼話都不可告訴人,只要去把身體給祭司察看,又因為你潔淨了,獻上摩西所吩咐的禮物,對眾人作證據。
and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."
1:45
那人出去,倒說許多的話,把這件事傳揚開了,叫耶穌以後不得再明明地進城,只好在外邊曠野地方。人從各處都就了他來。
But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

  1. 耶穌在約旦河受洗對於祂的宣道事奉的意義: 
    馬可首先描寫了施洗約翰(彌賽亞開路先鋒)的事工。接著,馬可記錄耶穌受洗、受膏、受試探的事實。這就是所謂「傳福音的起頭」的情形。也是耶和華的僕人 (主耶穌)實際從事祂奉差來完成的事工以前,所體驗的經歷。 「約翰的洗」代表人認罪悔改,得上帝赦免。約翰所傳的是悔改,是為「預備得赦罪」,而悔改不是使罪得赦。除了主耶穌的事工,沒有人的罪能得赦免。約翰所作的事工,叫人悔改,目的只是為未來另一個赦罪的事工作預備。約翰自己宣告說,「有一位在我以後來的,能力比我更大,我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶也是不配的。我是用水給你們施洗,他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。」約翰的洗是伴隨著悔改的一個記號,但聖靈的洗就不止是一個記號了,而是一種能叫生命更新與重生的能力。因著這能力,人的罪才能得赦,才能開始一種新的生命。約翰的事工在於使人悔改,預備使罪得赦免,並宣告,那一位能夠滿足罪得赦免一切必備條件的基督就要來臨。耶穌來,就是為著這一個赦罪的事工。

    主耶穌本身無罪,不用受洗,耶穌在約旦河的受洗,主要是為了盡諸般的義,意思是要遵行上帝的吩咐,完成祂的公義為目的(申6:25節)。當祂從水裡上來的時候,聖靈就降在祂的身上,從天上有聲音說:「你是我的愛子,我喜悅你。」顯出主耶穌作僕人的身分,只要上帝自己知道就可以了。 在這裡我們看到在聖靈的帶領,祂已面對祂的使命;已接受了上帝所賜的能力,以完成這使命。

    耶穌在在曠野受試探對於祂的宣道事奉的意義: 
    馬可福音 1:12節,「聖靈就把耶穌催到曠野裡去。」馬太和路加都提到祂受聖靈引導到曠野受試探的事實。但是馬可用了一個特別的字,聖靈就把耶穌「催到」(ἐκβάλλω impelled)曠野裡去。照字面翻譯是,聖靈把耶穌「趕到」曠野裡去,這和後來用於指耶穌把鬼趕出去的「趕」字相同。現在耶穌急忙的面對仇敵,不是帶著輕舉妄動的靈,而是帶著安靜、預知的靈。因為這是一個真正的試探。聖靈在祂受膏以後,催耶穌去面對那破壞、剝奪、毀滅人性的邪惡勢力。耶穌來要建立這個國度,並受試探四十日之久。因著飢餓,耶穌被試探去懷疑上帝是否真正的照顧祂;因著擺在面前巨大工作,耶穌受試探去試試自己可能偏離上帝的指引多遠,能采取多少主動;耶穌受試探去試試這世界的國度並其榮耀與華美。可是除非耶穌真正嘗過受試探的滋味,耶穌就沒有受過試探;除非耶穌感受到試探者的誘惑,就沒有面對過真正的試探。這樣的試探歷時四十天之久,從不間斷。主受試探乃出於聖靈的引導,所以可說是上帝對祂的試驗;上帝也常讓我們落在試探中,以試驗我們對上帝究竟如何。


    從以上經文我們看見聖靈的洗、聖靈的引導, 聖靈奇妙的工作在耶穌的身上,與爾後傳福音的事工的開展息息相關。加拉太書5:25節:我們信徒既是靠聖靈得生,就當靠聖靈行事。主耶穌自己既然被試探而受苦,就能搭救被試探的人(來2:17~18節;主耶穌在受試探時如何反應,乃是我們在受試探時的榜樣。
