耶穌醫治畢士大池病了三十八年的瘸腿者

                

全新四年樂活讀經                                    


W5 2013-01-11 約翰福音5

 

經文:約五2-9

5:2-9 在耶路撒冷,靠近羊門有一個池子,希伯來話叫作畢士大,旁邊有五個廊子;�面躺著瞎眼的、瘸腿的、血氣枯乾的許多病人。(有古卷加:等候水動;因為有天使按時下池子攪動那水,水動之後,誰先下去,無論害甚麼病就痊癒了。) 在那�有一個人,病了三十八年。耶穌看見他躺著,知道他病了許久,就問他說:「你要痊癒嗎?」病人回答說:「先生,水動的時候,沒有人把我放在池子�;我正去的時候,就有別人比我先下去。」耶穌對他說:「起來,拿你的褥子走吧!」那人立刻痊癒,就拿起褥子來走了。

 

默想:當耶穌問「他你要痊瘉嗎?」這位病了三十八年的人回答很奇怪。他不是說,我要,或不要。他是在抱怨,他抱怨:「水動的時候,沒有人把我放在池子�,我正去的時候,就有別人比我先下去。」他的抱怨中,表明了他被人不當地遺棄,當上帝的恩典來了,在畢士大池的人是爭先恐後地下到池中。人性的自私在此表露出來,人們常常想著對自己有利的事,甚至害怕這些好處被別人奪走。其實這位病了三十八年的人,可能比那些第一個下到池子,得到醫治的人等了更久,更需要上帝的醫治,但是人性的自私,使他一直等不到。直到他與耶穌相遇,生命的困境才得到改變。

 

當我們來到教會,得了上帝的恩典,我們是否也有可能落入這樣的光景呢?教會是相愛的信仰團體,在一個相愛的信仰團體中,這位病了三十八年的人,不該就是我們用愛來補足他欠缺的地方嗎?

 

題目: 你從耶路撒冷畢士大池旁這位瘸腿三十八年被主耶穌醫好的事件中學到那些屬靈功課呢?

 

5:1 這事以後,到了猶太人的一個節期,耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
5:2 在耶路撒冷,靠近羊門有一個池子,希伯來話叫作畢士大,旁邊有五個廊子;

Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.
5:3 裡面躺著瞎眼的、瘸腿的、血氣枯乾的許多病人。(有古卷加:等候水動;

In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.
5:4 因為有天使按時下池子攪動那水,水動之後,誰先下去,無論害甚麼病就痊癒了。)


5:5 在那裡有一個人,病了三十八年。

One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
5:6 耶穌看見他躺著,知道他病了許久,就問他說:「你要痊癒嗎?」

When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"
5:7 病人回答說:「先生,水動的時候,沒有人把我放在池子裡;我正去的時候,就有別人比我先下去。」

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me."
5:8 耶穌對他說:「起來,拿你的褥子走吧!」

Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk."
5:9 那人立刻痊癒,就拿起褥子來走了。

And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.
5:10 那天是安息日,所以猶太人對那醫好的人說:「今天是安息日,你拿褥子是不可的。」

So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."
5:11 他卻回答說:「那使我痊癒的,對我說:『拿你的褥子走吧。』」

But he answered them, "The man who healed me said to me, `Take up your pallet, and walk.'"
5:12 他們問他說:「對你說『拿褥子走』的是甚麼人?」

They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk'?"
5:13 那醫好的人不知道是誰;因為那裡的人多,耶穌已經躲開了。

Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
5:14 後來耶穌在殿裡遇見他,對他說:「你已經痊癒了,不要再犯罪,恐怕你遭遇的更加利害。」

Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you."
5:15 那人就去告訴猶太人,使他痊癒的是耶穌。

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
5:16 所以猶太人逼迫耶穌,因為他在安息日做了這事。

And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.
5:17 耶穌就對他們說:「我父做事直到如今,我也做事。」

But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working."
5:18 所以猶太人越發想要殺他;因他不但犯了安息日,並且稱 神為他的父,將自己和 神當作平等。

This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
5:19 耶穌對他們說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,子憑著自己不能做甚麼,惟有看見父所做的,子才能做;父所做的事,子也照樣做。

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.
5:20 父愛子,將自己所做的一切事指給他看,還要將比這更大的事指給他看,叫你們希奇。

For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.
5:21 父怎樣叫死人起來,使他們活著,子也照樣隨自己的意思使人活著。

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
5:22 父不審判甚麼人,乃將審判的事全交與子,

The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
5:23 叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一樣。不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬差子來的父。

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
5:24 我實實在在地告訴你們,那聽我話、又信差我來者的,就有永生;不至於定罪,是已經出死入生了。

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
5:25 我實實在在地告訴你們,時候將到,現在就是了,死人要聽見 神兒子的聲音,聽見的人就要活了。

"Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
5:26 因為父怎樣在自己有生命,就賜給他兒子也照樣在自己有生命,

For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,
5:27 並且因為他是人子,就賜給他行審判的權柄。

and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
5:28 你們不要把這事看作希奇。時候要到,凡在墳墓裡的,都要聽見他的聲音,就出來:

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
5:29 行善的,復活得生;作惡的,復活定罪。

and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
5:30 「我憑著自己不能做甚麼,我怎麼聽見就怎麼審判。我的審判也是公平的;因為我不求自己的意思,只求那差我來者的意思。」

"I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
5:31 「我若為自己作見證,我的見證就不真。

If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;
5:32 另有一位給我作見證,我也知道他給我作的見證是真的。

there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.
5:33 你們曾差人到約翰那裡,他為真理作過見證。

You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
5:34 其實,我所受的見證不是從人來的;然而,我說這些話,為要叫你們得救。

Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.
5:35 約翰是點著的明燈,你們情願暫時喜歡他的光。

He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
5:36 但我有比約翰更大的見證;因為父交給我要我成就的事,就是我所做的事,這便見證我是父所差來的。

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
5:37 差我來的父也為我作過見證。你們從來沒有聽見他的聲音,也沒有看見他的形像。

And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
5:38 你們並沒有他的道存在心裡;因為他所差來的,你們不信。

and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.
5:39 你們查考聖經(或譯:應當查考聖經),因你們以為內中有永生;給我作見證的就是這經。

You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;
5:40 然而,你們不肯到我這裡來得生命。

yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
5:41 「我不受從人來的榮耀。

I do not receive glory from men.
5:42 但我知道,你們心裡沒有 神的愛。

But I know that you have not the love of God within you.
5:43 我奉我父的名來,你們並不接待我;若有別人奉自己的名來,你們倒要接待他。

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
5:44 你們互相受榮耀,卻不求從獨一之 神來的榮耀,怎能信我呢?

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
5:45 不要想我在父面前要告你們;有一位告你們的,就是你們所仰賴的摩西。

Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.
5:46 你們如果信摩西,也必信我,因為他書上有指著我寫的話。

If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.
5:47 你們若不信他的書,怎能信我的話呢?」

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"

W1 2013-01-10 約翰福音4經文: 約四7-94:7-9 有一個撒馬利亞的婦人來打水。耶穌對她說:「請你給我水喝。」(那時門徒進城買食物去了。〉撒馬利亞的婦人對他說:「你既是猶太人,怎麼向我一個撒馬利亞婦人要水喝呢?」原來猶太人和撒馬利亞人沒有來往。


耶穌與撒瑪利亞井邊的婦女談道

                

全新四年樂活讀經                                    

 

W1 2013-01-10 約翰福音4


經文: 約四7-9

4:7-9 有一個撒馬利亞的婦人來打水。耶穌對她說:「請你給我水喝。」(那時門徒進城買食物去了。〉撒馬利亞的婦人對他說:「你既是猶太人,怎麼向我一個撒馬利亞婦人要水喝呢?」原來猶太人和撒馬利亞人沒有來往。

 

默想:耶穌有他肉身的需要,他也會渴,當他口渴的時候,他不是自己行神蹟來滿足自己的需求。反而是向這位井邊的婦女尋求幫助。耶穌透過尋求他人幫助來建立傳福音的管道,這是一個很特別的地方。事實上耶穌可以依照當時人的習慣從約旦河東岸去到加利利,而不必經過與猶太人不相往來的撒瑪利亞。但是,耶穌不但來了,而沒有拒絕撒瑪利亞人還向她尋求幫助。

 

另外,當時的男女其實也不太方便在任意的有所接觸,耶穌這樣地與這位婦人講話,有可能引起保守人士的議論,但是耶穌還是主動的與她交談。以致於她驚訝地說:「你既是猶太人,怎麼向我一個撒馬利亞的婦人要水喝呢?」這是耶穌的主動,甚至排除困難,讓我們看到,他為了傳福音願意去做別人不願,也沒有想到的事。我們有時候會不會太拘泥於自己的名聲、地位甚至是基督徒的身份,而失去了主動傳福音的機會呢?

 

題目: 主耶穌如何帶領撒馬利亞敘加城門外雅各井旁這位無名婦女的靈命改變呢?

 

4:1 主知道法利賽人聽見他收門徒,施洗,比約翰還多,
Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
4:2 (其實不是耶穌親自施洗,乃是他的門徒施洗,)

(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),
4:3 他就離了猶太,又往加利利去。

he left Judea and departed again to Galilee.
4:4 必須經過撒馬利亞,

He had to pass through Samar'ia.
4:5 於是到了撒馬利亞的一座城,名叫敘加,靠近雅各給他兒子約瑟的那塊地。

So he came to a city of Samar'ia, called Sy'char, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
4:6 在那裡有雅各井;耶穌因走路困乏,就坐在井旁。那時約有午正。

Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.
4:7 有一個撒馬利亞的婦人來打水。耶穌對她說:「請你給我水喝。」

There came a woman of Samar'ia to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
4:8 (那時門徒進城買食物去了。〉

For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
4:9 撒馬利亞的婦人對他說:「你既是猶太人,怎麼向我一個撒馬利亞婦人要水喝呢?」原來猶太人和撒馬利亞人沒有來往。

The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar'ia?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
4:10 耶穌回答說:「你若知道 神的恩賜,和對你說『給我水喝』的是誰,你必早求他,他也必早給了你活水。」

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, `Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
4:11 婦人說:「先生,沒有打水的器具,井又深,你從哪裡得活水呢?

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water?
4:12 我們的祖宗雅各將這井留給我們,他自己和兒子並牲畜也都喝這井裡的水,難道你比他還大嗎?」

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"
4:13 耶穌回答說:「凡喝這水的還要再渴;

Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again,
4:14 人若喝我所賜的水就永遠不渴。我所賜的水要在他裡頭成為泉源,直湧到永生。」

but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
4:15 婦人說:「先生,請把這水賜給我,叫我不渴,也不用來這麼遠打水。」

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
4:16 耶穌說:「你去叫你丈夫也到這裡來。」

Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
4:17 婦人說:「我沒有丈夫。」耶穌說:「你說沒有丈夫是不錯的。

The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, `I have no husband';
4:18 你已經有五個丈夫,你現在有的並不是你的丈夫。你這話是真的。」

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly."
4:19 婦人說:「先生,我看出你是先知。

The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
4:20 我們的祖宗在這山上禮拜,你們倒說,應當禮拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。」

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
4:21 耶穌說:「婦人,你當信我。時候將到,你們拜父,也不在這山上,也不在耶路撒冷。

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
4:22 你們所拜的,你們不知道;我們所拜的,我們知道,因為救恩是從猶太人出來的。

You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
4:23 時候將到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心靈和誠實拜他,因為父要這樣的人拜他。

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.
4:24  神是個靈(或無個字),所以拜他的必須用心靈和誠實拜他。」

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
4:25 婦人說:「我知道彌賽亞(就是那稱為基督的)要來;他來了,必將一切的事都告訴我們。」

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things."
4:26 耶穌說:「這和你說話的就是他!」

Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."
4:27 當下門徒回來,就希奇耶穌和一個婦人說話;只是沒有人說:「你是要甚麼?」或說:「你為甚麼和她說話?」

Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"
4:28 那婦人就留下水罐子,往城裡去,對眾人說:

So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
4:29 「你們來看!有一個人將我素來所行的一切事都給我說出來了,莫非這就是基督嗎?」

"Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?"
4:30 眾人就出城,往耶穌那裡去。

They went out of the city and were coming to him.
4:31 這其間,門徒對耶穌說:「拉比,請吃。」

Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
4:32 耶穌說:「我有食物吃,是你們不知道的。」

But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
4:33 門徒就彼此對問說:「莫非有人拿甚麼給他吃嗎?」

So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?"
4:34 耶穌說:「我的食物就是遵行差我來者的旨意,做成他的工。

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
4:35 你們豈不說『到收割的時候還有四個月』嗎?我告訴你們,舉目向田觀看,莊稼已經熟了(原文是發白),可以收割了。

Do you not say, `There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest.
4:36 收割的人得工價,積蓄五穀到永生,叫撒種的和收割的一同快樂。

He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.
4:37 俗語說:『那人撒種,這人收割』,這話可見是真的。

For here the saying holds true, `One sows and another reaps.'
4:38 我差你們去收你們所沒有勞苦的;別人勞苦,你們享受他們所勞苦的。」

I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
4:39 那城裡有好些撒馬利亞人信了耶穌,因為那婦人作見證說:「他將我素來所行的一切事都給我說出來了。」

Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."
4:40 於是撒馬利亞人來見耶穌,求他在他們那裡住下,他便在那裡住了兩天。

So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.
4:41 因耶穌的話,信的人就更多了,

And many more believed because of his word.
4:42 便對婦人說:「現在我們信,不是因為你的話,是我們親自聽見了,知道這真是救世主。」

They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of your words that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."
4:43 過了那兩天,耶穌離了那地方,往加利利去。

After the two days he departed to Galilee.
4:44 因為耶穌自己作過見證說:「先知在本地是沒有人尊敬的。」

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
4:45 到了加利利,加利利人既然看見他在耶路撒冷過節所行的一切事,就接待他,因為他們也是上去過節。

So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.
4:46 耶穌又到了加利利的迦拿,就是他從前變水為酒的地方。有一個大臣,他的兒子在迦百農患病。

So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill.
4:47 他聽見耶穌從猶太到了加利利,就來見他,求他下去醫治他的兒子,因為他兒子快要死了。

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
4:48 耶穌就對他說:「若不看見神蹟奇事,你們總是不信。」

Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe."
4:49 那大臣說:「先生,求你趁著我的孩子還沒有死就下去。」

The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
4:50 耶穌對他說:「回去吧,你的兒子活了!」那人信耶穌所說的話就回去了。

Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way.
4:51 正下去的時候,他的僕人迎見他,說他的兒子活了。

As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living.
4:52 他就問甚麼時候見好的。他們說:「昨日未時熱就退了。」

So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
4:53 他便知道這正是耶穌對他說「你兒子活了」的時候;他自己和全家就都信了。

The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household.
4:54 這是耶穌在加利利行的第二件神蹟,是他從猶太回去以後行的。

This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

W1 2013-01-09約翰福音3經文: 約三5-8;16-193:5-8 耶穌說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不是從水和聖靈生的,就不能進 神的國。從肉身生的就是肉身;從靈生的就是靈。我說:『你們必須重生』,你不要以為希奇。風隨著意思吹,你聽見風的響聲,卻不曉得從哪�來,往哪�去;凡從聖靈生的,也是如此。」


尼哥底慕問重生

                

全新四年樂活讀經                                    

 

W1 2013-01-09約翰福音3

經文: 約三5-8;16-19

3:5-8 耶穌說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不是從水和聖靈生的,就不能進 神的國。從肉身生的就是肉身;從靈生的就是靈。我說:『你們必須重生』,你不要以為希奇。風隨著意思吹,你聽見風的響聲,卻不曉得從哪�來,往哪�去;凡從聖靈生的,也是如此。」

3:16-19 「 神愛世人,甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不致滅亡,反得永生。因為 神差他的兒子降世,不是要定世人的罪(或譯:審判世人;下同),乃是要叫世人因他得救。信他的人,不被定罪;不信的人,罪已經定了,因為他不信 神獨生子的名。光來到世間,世人因自己的行為是惡的,不愛光,倒愛黑暗,定他們的罪就是在此。

 

默想: 「人若不是從水和聖靈生的,就不能進上帝的國」一個人若沒有得到新的生命,就沒有辦法理解屬靈的事。尼哥底母知道耶穌是神那裡來做師傅,知道他所行的神蹟,也知道耶穌有上帝的同在。但是尼哥底母還是沒重生,這提醒我們來教會,不單只是知道耶穌所行的神蹟,也不單是聽耶穌教訓人的道理,或者我們得到一個好的道德、行為而已。要進入上帝國,我們必須認識真理、從聖靈重生,得到永生。當我們的生命還停留在肉身,就不能了解屬靈的事,也無法與上帝建立真的關係。所以耶穌說「上帝愛世人,甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不致滅亡,反得永生。」這句話提醒我們,照著我們原來的狀況,我們都是要「滅亡」的,是因為得著了耶穌才「不致」滅亡」,「反得」永生的。所以重要的是,我們是否真正相信了耶穌是上帝的兒子,並且相信祂為我們的罪死在十字架上?是否我們真的讓耶穌成為我們的救主與生命的主?耶穌說:「認識你獨一的真神,並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督,這就是永生」。(約十七3)這是否是我們所真實經驗的?

 

題目: 從本章1節到15節耶穌與尼哥底母對話中你學到那些屬靈功課呢?

 

3:1 有一個法利賽人,名叫尼哥德慕,是猶太人的官。
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews.
3:2 這人夜裡來見耶穌,說:「拉比,我們知道你是由 神那裡來作師傅的;因為你所行的神蹟,若沒有 神同在,無人能行。」

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
3:3 耶穌回答說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不重生,就不能見 神的國。」

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
3:4 尼哥德慕說:「人已經老了,如何能重生呢?豈能再進母腹生出來嗎?」

Nicode'mus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
3:5 耶穌說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不是從水和聖靈生的,就不能進 神的國。

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
3:6 從肉身生的就是肉身;從靈生的就是靈。

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7 我說:『你們必須重生』,你不要以為希奇。

Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.'
3:8 風隨著意思吹,你聽見風的響聲,卻不曉得從哪裡來,往哪裡去;凡從聖靈生的,也是如此。」

The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit."
3:9 尼哥德慕問他說:「怎能有這事呢?」

Nicode'mus said to him, "How can this be?"
3:10 耶穌回答說:「你是以色列人的先生,還不明白這事嗎?

Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this?
3:11 我實實在在地告訴你,我們所說的是我們知道的;我們所見證的是我們見過的;你們卻不領受我們的見證。

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.
3:12 我對你們說地上的事,你們尚且不信,若說天上的事,如何能信呢?

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
3:13 除了從天降下、仍舊在天的人子,沒有人升過天。

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
3:14 摩西在曠野怎樣舉蛇,人子也必照樣被舉起來,

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
3:15 叫一切信他的都得永生(或譯:叫一切信的人在他裡面得永生)。

that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."
3:16 「 神愛世人,甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不致滅亡,反得永生。

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
3:17 因為 神差他的兒子降世,不是要定世人的罪(或譯:審判世人;下同),乃是要叫世人因他得救。

For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
3:18 信他的人,不被定罪;不信的人,罪已經定了,因為他不信 神獨生子的名。

He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
3:19 光來到世間,世人因自己的行為是惡的,不愛光,倒愛黑暗,定他們的罪就是在此。

And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 凡作惡的便恨光,並不來就光,恐怕他的行為受責備。

For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
3:21 但行真理的必來就光,要顯明他所行的是靠 神而行。」

But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.
3:22 這事以後,耶穌和門徒到了猶太地,在那裡居住,施洗。

After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there he remained with them and baptized.
3:23 約翰在靠近撒冷的哀嫩也施洗;因為那裡水多,眾人都去受洗。

John also was baptizing at Ae'non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.
3:24 (那時約翰還沒有下在監裡。)

For John had not yet been put in prison.
3:25 約翰的門徒和一個猶太人辯論潔淨的禮,

Now a discussion arose between John's disciples and a Jew over purifying.
3:26 就來見約翰,說:「拉比,從前同你在約旦河外、你所見證的那位,現在施洗,眾人都往他那裡去了。」

And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, here he is, baptizing, and all are going to him."
3:27 約翰說:「若不是從天上賜的,人就不能得甚麼。

John answered, "No one can receive anything except what is given him from heaven.
3:28 我曾說:『我不是基督,是奉差遣在他前面的』,你們自己可以給我作見證。

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.
3:29 娶新婦的就是新郎;新郎的朋友站著,聽見新郎的聲音就甚喜樂。故此,我這喜樂滿足了。

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; therefore this joy of mine is now full.
3:30 他必興旺,我必衰微。」

He must increase, but I must decrease."
3:31 「從天上來的是在萬有之上;從地上來的是屬乎地,他所說的也是屬乎地。從天上來的是在萬有之上。

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks; he who comes from heaven is above all.
3:32 他將所見所聞的見證出來,只是沒有人領受他的見證。

He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony;
3:33 那領受他見證的,就印上印,證明 神是真的。

he who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.
3:34  神所差來的就說 神的話,因為 神賜聖靈給他是沒有限量的。

For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit;
3:35 父愛子,已將萬有交在他手裡。

the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
3:36 信子的人有永生;不信子的人得不著永生(原文是不得見永生), 神的震怒常在他身上。」

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him.

W1 2013-01-08約翰福音22:3-4 酒用盡了,耶穌的母親對他說:「他們沒有酒了。」耶穌說:「母親(原文是婦人),我與你有甚麼相干?我的時候還沒有到。」2:11 這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟,是在加利利的迦拿行的,顯出他的榮耀來;他的門徒就信他了。


迦拿的婚宴 

                

全新四年樂活讀經                                    

 

W1 2013-01-08約翰福音2

經文: 二3-4;11

2:3-4 酒用盡了,耶穌的母親對他說:「他們沒有酒了。」耶穌說:「母親(原文是婦人),我與你有甚麼相干?我的時候還沒有到。」

2:11 這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟,是在加利利的迦拿行的,顯出他的榮耀來;他的門徒就信他了。

 

默想: 耶穌的母親瑪利亞來求耶穌幫忙,而耶穌對馬利亞說「婦人,我與你有甚麼相干?我的時候還沒有到」。這是一句非常特別的話,意思是在對自己的母親表明一件事。就是「我知道母親你對我有一個期待,但是母親你對我仍有許多事還不明白,上帝為我所預備的那個時間還沒有到,還不是顯明我身份、使命的時刻。」。瑪利亞知道這個從聖靈懷孕的孩子是特別的,但是,並不知道這個孩子的身份特別到什麼程度。她在情急之下尋求耶穌的幫助。而耶穌並不是拒絕幫助母親的忙,因為他的確行了一個「以水變酒」的神蹟,來解除當時的困境。但是耶穌要表明的是,「時刻還沒有到」,耶穌還沒有到那個要完全表明自己身份的關鍵點。

 

我們要思想的是,耶穌來到這個世上,最重要的並不是行神蹟,對耶穌而言,行神蹟並不能真正顯明上帝在耶穌身上所要成就的事。上帝在耶穌所做的事是「耶穌的死與復活」,正因為「那個時候還沒有到」,所以耶穌一方面好像拒絕了瑪利亞,一方面又行了一個神蹟。

 

耶穌行完了這個神蹟,約翰說耶穌行這事「顯出他的榮耀來」,這是說明耶穌顯明了將來榮耀的一個兆頭,耶穌最後的榮耀,是要顯現出他就是上帝獨生子的榮耀,而這個神蹟只是個開始。

 

對我們而言,我們不是再一直尋求神蹟奇事,因為我們不再需要那個神蹟來當兆頭,我們不需要耶穌再顯什麼神蹟來證明他自己。當祂從十字架上死、三日後又復活之後,就顯明了他實在是上帝的兒子,是永活的主。我們需要的是,相信並且傳揚出去。

 

題目: 你從迦拿婚宴的神蹟學到那些屬靈功課呢?

 

2:1 第三日,在加利利的迦拿有娶親的筵席,耶穌的母親在那裡。
On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2:2 
耶穌和他的門徒也被請去赴席。
Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.
2:3 
酒用盡了,耶穌的母親對他說:「他們沒有酒了。」
When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
2:4 
耶穌說:「母親(原文是婦人),我與你有甚麼相干?我的時候還沒有到。」
And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."
2:5 
他母親對用人說:「他告訴你們甚麼,你們就做甚麼。」
His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
2:6 
照猶太人潔淨的規矩,有六口石缸擺在那裡,每口可以盛兩三桶水。
Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
2:7 
耶穌對用人說:「把缸倒滿了水。」他們就倒滿了,直到缸口。
Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.
2:8 
耶穌又說:「現在可以舀出來,送給管筵席的。」他們就送了去。
He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast." So they took it.
2:9 
管筵席的嘗了那水變的酒,並不知道是哪裡來的,只有舀水的用人知道。管筵席的便叫新郎來,
When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom
2:10 
對他說:「人都是先擺上好酒,等客喝足了,才擺上次的,你倒把好酒留到如今!」
and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."
2:11 
這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟,是在加利利的迦拿行的,顯出他的榮耀來;他的門徒就信他了。
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
2:12 
這事以後,耶穌與他的母親、弟兄,和門徒都下迦百農去,在那裡住了不多幾日。
After this he went down to Caper'na-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.
2:13 
猶太人的逾越節近了,耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2:14 
看見殿裡有賣牛、羊、鴿子的,並有兌換銀錢的人坐在那裡,
In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business.
2:15 
耶穌就拿繩子做成鞭子,把牛羊都趕出殿去,倒出兌換銀錢之人的銀錢,推翻他們的桌子,
And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.
2:16 
又對賣鴿子的說:「把這些東西拿去!不要將我父的殿當作買賣的地方。」
And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade."
2:17 
他的門徒就想起經上記著說:「我為你的殿心裡焦急,如同火燒。」
His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me."
2:18 
因此猶太人問他說:「你既做這些事,還顯甚麼神蹟給我們看呢?」
The Jews then said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?"
2:19 
耶穌回答說:「你們拆毀這殿,我三日內要再建立起來。」
Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 
猶太人便說:「這殿是四十六年才造成的,你三日內就再建立起來嗎?」
The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"
2:21 
但耶穌這話是以他的身體為殿。
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22 
所以到他從死裡復活以後,門徒就想起他說過這話,便信了聖經和耶穌所說的。
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
2:23 
當耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候,有許多人看見他所行的神蹟,就信了他的名。
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did;
2:24 
耶穌卻不將自己交託他們;因為他知道萬人,
but Jesus did not trust himself to them,
2:25 
也用不著誰見證人怎樣,因他知道人心裡所存的。
because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

W1 2013-01-07約翰福音1經文: 約一1-4;14 1:1-4 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。生命在他�頭,這生命就是人的光。1:14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。



太初有道 

                

全新四年樂活讀經                                    

 

W1 2013-01-07約翰福音1

 

經文: 約一1-4;14

1:1-4 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。生命在他�頭,這生命就是人的光。1:14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。

 

默想: 「道」是從起初就存在,並且與上帝同在。上帝是藉著「道」來創造宇宙萬物。這「道」,就是一切生命的源頭。
上帝使這「道」成了肉身,就在我們中間,不像「諾斯底主義」(Gnosticism)所說,靈魂是潔淨的,肉體是邪惡的。上帝是全然聖潔的,「道」也是全是聖潔的。當「道」可以成為肉身,就表明了,「肉體」不是邪惡的。上帝所造的這個世界,不是「靈魂」與「物質」的對立。我們也不是單單追求靈魂的得救,而完全否定「肉體」。我們都是上帝所造的,我們的靈魂與肉體,在上帝的眼中都是「好的」。但是重要的是,我們是有罪的,藉著認識這「道」,我們就可以得著生命的光。恢復與上帝的關係。聖經告訴我們說「凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就賜他們權柄,做上帝的兒女」(12)我們的生命,正是因為領受了這「道」豐豐富富的恩典,而恩上加恩。

 

題目: 你從本章經文內容,對 “道” 有何種認識?

 

1:1 太初有道,道與 神同在,道就是 神。
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 這道太初與 神同在。

He was in the beginning with God;
1:3 萬物是藉著他造的;凡被造的,沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。

all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
1:4 生命在他裡頭,這生命就是人的光。

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
1:5 光照在黑暗裡,黑暗卻不接受光。

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
1:6 有一個人,是從 神那裡差來的,名叫約翰。

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 這人來,為要作見證,就是為光作見證,叫眾人因他可以信。

He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.
1:8 他不是那光,乃是要為光作見證。

He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.
1:9 那光是真光,照亮一切生在世上的人。

The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.
1:10 他在世界,世界也是藉著他造的,世界卻不認識他。

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.
1:11 他到自己的地方來,自己的人倒不接待他。

He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.
1:12 凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就賜他們權柄作 神的兒女。

But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;
1:13 這等人不是從血氣生的,不是從情慾生的,也不是從人意生的,乃是從 神生的。

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
1:15 約翰為他作見證,喊著說:「這就是我曾說:『那在我以後來的,反成了在我以前的,因他本來在我以前。』」

(John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")
1:16 從他豐滿的恩典裡,我們都領受了,而且恩上加恩。

And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.
1:17 律法本是藉著摩西傳的;恩典和真理都是由耶穌基督來的。

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
1:18 從來沒有人看見 神,只有在父懷裡的獨生子將他表明出來。

No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.
1:19 約翰所作的見證記在下面:猶太人從耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到約翰那裡,問他說:「你是誰?」

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
1:20 他就明說,並不隱瞞,明說:「我不是基督。」

He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."
1:21 他們又問他說:「這樣,你是誰呢?是以利亞嗎?」他說:「我不是。」「是那先知嗎?」他回答說:「不是。」

And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."
1:22 於是他們說:「你到底是誰,叫我們好回覆差我們來的人。你自己說,你是誰?」

They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
1:23 他說:「我就是那在曠野有人聲喊著說:『修直主的道路』,正如先知以賽亞所說的。」

He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, `Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."
1:24 那些人是法利賽人差來的(或譯:那差來的是法利賽人);

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.
1:25 他們就問他說:「你既不是基督,不是以利亞,也不是那先知,為甚麼施洗呢?」

They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"
1:26 約翰回答說:「我是用水施洗,但有一位站在你們中間,是你們不認識的,

John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know,
1:27 就是那在我以後來的,我給他解鞋帶也不配。」

even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
1:28 這是在約旦河外伯大尼(有古卷:伯大巴喇),約翰施洗的地方作的見證。

This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
1:29 次日,約翰看見耶穌來到他那裡,就說:「看哪, 神的羔羊,除去(或譯:背負)世人罪孽的!

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
1:30 這就是我曾說:『有一位在我以後來、反成了在我以前的,因他本來在我以前。』

This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'
1:31 我先前不認識他,如今我來用水施洗,為要叫他顯明給以色列人。」

I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."
1:32 約翰又作見證說:「我曾看見聖靈,彷彿鴿子從天降下,住在他的身上。

And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.
1:33 我先前不認識他,只是那差我來用水施洗的、對我說:『你看見聖靈降下來,住在誰的身上,誰就是用聖靈施洗的。』

I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'
1:34 我看見了,就證明這是 神的兒子。」

And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."
1:35 再次日,約翰同兩個門徒站在那裡。

The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;
1:36 他見耶穌行走,就說:「看哪,這是 神的羔羊!」

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
1:37 兩個門徒聽見他的話,就跟從了耶穌。

The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
1:38 耶穌轉過身來,看見他們跟著,就問他們說:「你們要甚麼?」他們說:「拉比,在哪裡住?」(拉比翻出來就是夫子。)

Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
1:39 耶穌說:「你們來看。」他們就去看他在哪裡住,這一天便與他同住;那時約有申正了。

He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
1:40 聽見約翰的話跟從耶穌的那兩個人,一個是西門•彼得的兄弟安得烈。

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
1:41 他先找著自己的哥哥西門,對他說:「我們遇見彌賽亞了。」(彌賽亞翻出來就是基督。)

He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ).
1:42 於是領他去見耶穌。耶穌看見他,說:「你是約翰的兒子西門(約翰在馬太十六章十七節稱約拿),你要稱為磯法。」(磯法翻出來就是彼得。)

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).
1:43 又次日,耶穌想要往加利利去,遇見腓力,就對他說:「來跟從我吧。」

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
1:44 這腓力是伯賽大人,和安得烈、彼得同城。

Now Philip was from Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
1:45 腓力找著拿但業,對他說:「摩西在律法上所寫的和眾先知所記的那一位,我們遇見了,就是約瑟的兒子拿撒勒人耶穌。」

Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
1:46 拿但業對他說:「拿撒勒還能出甚麼好的嗎?」腓力說:「你來看!」

Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
1:47 耶穌看見拿但業來,就指著他說:「看哪,這是個真以色列人,他心裡是沒有詭詐的。」

Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
1:48 拿但業對耶穌說:「你從哪裡知道我呢?」耶穌回答說:「腓力還沒有招呼你,你在無花果樹底下,我就看見你了。」

Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
1:49 拿但業說:「拉比,你是 神的兒子,你是以色列的王!」

Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
1:50 耶穌對他說:「因為我說『在無花果樹底下看見你』,你就信嗎?你將要看見比這更大的事」;

Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."
1:51 又說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,你們將要看見天開了, 神的使者上去下來在人子身上。」

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
