前情提要

上回說到

昨天(14 章):大痲瘋痊癒的人,要經過營外兩隻鳥的潔淨禮、剃毛洗身,第八天獻祭,用血和油抹在右耳垂、右手和右腳的大拇指上,才完整地回到群體中;窮人可以獻斑鳩或雛鴿。房屋牆上出現災病,也要察看、刮除,甚至拆毀。

今天你會讀到

第 15 章講身體排出物帶來的不潔淨和潔淨的方法;第 16 章是贖罪日:大祭司一年一次進入幔子內,在施恩座前彈血,又把百姓的罪歸到一隻活的公山羊頭上,送到曠野;第 17 章規定獻祭要在會幕門口,並禁止吃血。

閱讀小提示

留意 「活物的生命是在血中」:神把血賜給人,在壇上為生命贖罪。這說明聖經為甚麼這麼重視血,也幫助我們明白新約講耶穌流血的意義()。

點時代可看說明

把贖罪日的條例接在拿答、亞比戶死後(第 10 章);後來猶太人稱這日為 Yom Kippur,至今仍是猶太曆中最嚴肅的日子。

利未記 第 15 章

男人的漏症

1耶和華對摩西、亞倫說:And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2「你們曉諭以色列人說:人若身患,他因這漏症就不潔淨了。“Say to the Israelites, ‘When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean.

3他患漏症,無論是下流的,是止住的,都是不潔淨。This uncleanness is from his discharge, whether his body allows the discharge to flow or blocks it. So his discharge will bring about uncleanness.

4他所躺的床都為不潔淨,所坐的物也為不潔淨。Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean, and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean.

5凡摸那床的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

6那坐患漏症人所坐之物的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。Whoever sits on furniture on which the man with the discharge was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

7那摸患漏症人身體的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。Whoever touches the body of the man with a discharge must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

8若患漏症人吐在潔淨的人身上,那人必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。If the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, that person must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

9患漏症人所騎的鞍子也為不潔淨。Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides will be unclean.

10凡摸了他身下之物的,必不潔淨到晚上;拿了那物的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening, and whoever carries such things must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

11患漏症的人沒有用水手,無論摸了誰,誰必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。If the man with the discharge touches anyone without first rinsing his hands with water, the one who was touched must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

12患漏症人所摸的瓦器就必打破;所摸的一切木器也必用水涮洗。Any clay pot that the man with the discharge touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil must be rinsed with water.

漏症痊癒後的潔淨

13「患漏症的人痊癒了,就要為潔淨自己計算七天,也必洗衣服,用活水洗身,就潔淨了。When the man has been cleansed from his discharge, he must count off seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe himself in fresh water, and he shall be clean.

14第八天,要取兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿,來到會幕門口、耶和華面前,把鳥交給祭司。On the eighth day he is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.

15祭司要獻上一隻為贖罪祭,一隻為燔祭;因那人患的漏症,祭司要在耶和華面前為他贖罪。The priest is to sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the man before the LORD because of his discharge.

夢遺與同房

16「人若夢遺,他必不潔淨到晚上,並要用水洗全身。When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

17無論是衣服是皮子,被精所染,必不潔淨到晚上,並要用水洗。Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.

18若男女交合,兩個人必不潔淨到晚上,並要用水洗澡。If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both must bathe with water, and they will remain unclean until evening.

女人的經期

19「女人行經,必污穢七天;凡摸她的,必不潔淨到晚上。When a woman has a discharge consisting of blood from her body, she will be unclean due to her menstruation for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.

20女人在污穢之中,凡她所躺的物件都為不潔淨,所坐的物件也都不潔淨。Anything on which she lies or sits during her menstruation will be unclean,

21凡摸她床的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。and anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

22凡摸她所坐甚麼物件的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。Whoever touches any furniture on which she was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

23在女人的床上,或在她坐的物上,若有別的物件,人一摸了,必不潔淨到晚上。And whether it is a bed or furniture on which she was sitting, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening.

24男人若與那女人同房,染了她的污穢,就要七天不潔淨;所躺的床也為不潔淨。If a man lies with her and her menstrual flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will become unclean.

女人的血漏

25「女人若在經期以外患多日的血漏,或是經期過長,有了漏症,她就因這漏症不潔淨,與她在經期不潔淨一樣。When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.

26她在患漏症的日子所躺的床、所坐的物都要看為不潔淨,與她月經的時候一樣。Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period.

27凡摸這些物件的,就為不潔淨,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服,用水洗澡。Anyone who touches these things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

28女人的漏症若好了,就要計算七天,然後才為潔淨。When a woman is cleansed of her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean.

29第八天,要取兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿,帶到會幕門口給祭司。On the eighth day she is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

30祭司要獻一隻為贖罪祭,一隻為燔祭;因那人血漏不潔,祭司要在耶和華面前為她贖罪。The priest is to sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her before the LORD for her unclean discharge.

不可玷污神的帳幕

31「你們要這樣使以色列人與他們的污穢,免得他們玷污我的帳幕,就因自己的污穢死亡。」You must keep the children of Israel separate from their uncleanness, so that they do not die by defiling My tabernacle, which is among them.

32這是患漏症和夢遺而不潔淨的,This is the law of him who has a discharge, of the man who has an emission of semen whereby he is unclean,

33並有月經病的和患漏症的,無論男女,並人與不潔淨女人同房的條例。of a woman in her menstrual period, of any male or female who has a discharge, and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.’”

利未記 第 16 章

不可隨時進幔子內

1亞倫的兩個兒子近到耶和華面前死了。死了之後,耶和華曉諭摩西說:Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.

2「要告訴你哥哥亞倫,不可隨時進聖所的內、到櫃上的前,免得他死亡,因為我要從雲中顯現在施恩座上。And the LORD said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to enter freely into the Most Holy Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.

3亞倫進聖所,要帶一隻公牛犢為贖罪祭,一隻公綿羊為燔祭。This is how Aaron is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

4要穿上細麻布聖內袍,把細麻布褲子穿在身上,腰束細麻布帶子,頭戴細麻布冠冕;這都是聖服。他要用水洗身,然後穿戴。He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.

5要從以色列會眾取兩隻公山羊為贖罪祭,一隻公綿羊為燔祭。And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

為自己贖罪,為兩隻公山羊拈鬮

6「亞倫要把贖罪祭的公牛奉上,為自己和本家贖罪;Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.

7也要把兩隻公山羊安置在會幕門口、耶和華面前,Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

8為那兩隻羊,一鬮歸與耶和華,一鬮歸與。After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,

9亞倫要把那拈鬮歸與耶和華的羊獻為贖罪祭,he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.

10但那拈鬮歸與阿撒瀉勒的羊要活著安置在耶和華面前,用以贖罪,打發人送到曠野去,歸與阿撒瀉勒。But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.

帶血進入幔子內

11「亞倫要把贖罪祭的公牛牽來宰了,為自己和本家贖罪;When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering.

12拿香爐,從耶和華面前的壇上盛滿火炭,又拿搗細的香料,都帶入幔子內,Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil.

13在耶和華面前,把香放在火上,使香的煙雲遮掩法櫃上的施恩座,免得他死亡;He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of incense will cover the mercy seat above the Testimony, so that he will not die.

14也要取些公牛的血,用指頭彈在施恩座的東面,又在施恩座的前面彈血七次。And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the mercy seat; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.

15「隨後他要宰那為百姓作贖罪祭的公山羊,把羊的血帶入幔子內,彈在施恩座的上面和前面,好像彈公牛的血一樣。Aaron shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.

16他因以色列人諸般的污穢、過犯,就是他們一切的罪愆,當這樣在聖所行贖罪之禮,並因會幕在他們污穢之中,也要照樣而行。So he shall make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Meeting which abides among them in the midst of their impurities.

17他進聖所贖罪的時候,會幕裡不可有人,直等到他為自己和本家並以色列全會眾贖了罪出來。No one may be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Israel.

18他出來,要到耶和華面前的壇那裡,在壇上行贖罪之禮,又要取些公牛的血和公山羊的血,抹在壇上四角的周圍;Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.

19也要用指頭把血彈在壇上七次,潔淨了壇,從壇上除掉以色列人諸般的污穢,使壇成聖。」He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.

活羊擔當罪孽送到曠野

20「亞倫為聖所和會幕並壇獻完了贖罪祭,就要把那隻活著的公山羊奉上。When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.

21兩手按在羊頭上,以色列人諸般的罪孽過犯,就是他們一切的罪愆,把這罪都歸在羊的頭上,藉著所派之人的手,送到曠野去。Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.

22要把這羊放在曠野,這羊要擔當他們一切的罪孽,帶到。The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.

23「亞倫要進會幕,把他進聖所時所穿的細麻布衣服脫下,放在那裡,Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.

24又要在聖處用水洗身,穿上衣服,出來,把自己的燔祭和百姓的燔祭獻上,為自己和百姓贖罪。He is to bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people.

25贖罪祭牲的脂油要在壇上焚燒。He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26那放羊歸與阿撒瀉勒的人要洗衣服,用水洗身,然後進營。The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.

27作贖罪祭的公牛和公山羊的血既帶入聖所贖罪,這牛羊就要搬到營外,將皮、肉、糞用火焚燒。The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up.

28焚燒的人要洗衣服,用水洗身,然後進營。」The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.

每年七月初十贖罪日

29「每逢七月初十日,你們要,無論是本地人,是寄居在你們中間的外人,甚麼工都不可做;這要作你們永遠的定例。This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—

30因在這日要為你們贖罪,使你們潔淨。你們要在耶和華面前得以潔淨,脫盡一切的罪愆。because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.

31這日你們要守為聖安息日,要刻苦己心;這為永遠的定例。It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.

32那受膏、接續他父親承接聖職的祭司要穿上細麻布的聖衣,行贖罪之禮。The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments

33他要在至聖所和會幕與壇行贖罪之禮,並要為眾祭司和會眾的百姓贖罪。and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.

34這要作你們永遠的定例─就是因以色列人一切的罪,要一年一次為他們贖罪。」於是,亞倫照耶和華所吩咐摩西的行了。This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.

利未記 第 17 章

獻祭要帶到會幕門口

1耶和華對摩西說:Then the LORD said to Moses,

2「你曉諭亞倫和他兒子並以色列眾人說,耶和華所吩咐的乃是這樣:“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:

3凡以色列家中的人宰公牛,或是綿羊羔,或是山羊,不拘宰於營內營外,‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it

4若未曾牽到會幕門口、耶和華的帳幕前獻給耶和華為供物,必歸到那人身上。他流了血,要從民中剪除。instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.

5這是為要使以色列人把他們在田野裡所獻的祭帶到會幕門口、耶和華面前,交給祭司,獻與耶和華為平安祭。For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.

6祭司要把血灑在會幕門口、耶和華的壇上,把脂油焚燒,獻給耶和華為馨香的祭。The priest will then splatter the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

7他們不可再獻祭給他們行邪淫所隨從的(原文是公山羊);這要作他們世世代代永遠的定例。They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’

8「你要曉諭他們說:凡以色列家中的人,或是寄居在他們中間的外人,獻燔祭或是平安祭,Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

9若不帶到會幕門口獻給耶和華,那人必從民中剪除。but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.

不可吃血

10「凡以色列家中的人,或是寄居在他們中間的外人,若吃甚麼血,我必向那吃血的人變臉,把他從民中剪除。If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.

11因為活物的生命是在血中。我把這血賜給你們,可以在壇上為你們的生命;因血裡有生命,所以能贖罪。For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

12因此,我對以色列人說:你們都不可吃血;寄居在你們中間的外人也不可吃血。Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’

13凡以色列人,或是寄居在他們中間的外人,若打獵得了可吃的禽獸,必放出牠的血來,。And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.

14「論到一切活物的生命,就在血中。所以我對以色列人說:無論甚麼活物的血,你們都不可吃,因為一切活物的血就是他的生命。凡吃了血的,必被剪除。For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’

15凡吃自死的,或是被野獸撕裂的,無論是本地人,是寄居的,必不潔淨到晚上,都要洗衣服,用水洗身,到了晚上才為潔淨。And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.

16但他若不洗衣服,也不洗身,就必擔當他的罪孽。」But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”

摘要

利未記十五至十七章涵蓋潔淨條例與贖罪大日。第十五章詳述男女因漏症、經期等身體排泄所致的不潔淨,以及恢復潔淨的洗濯與獻祭程序,強調百姓須與污穢隔絕,免得玷污神的帳幕。第十六章記載贖罪日的完整儀式:大祭司穿聖服進至聖所,為自己、本家和全會眾獻贖罪祭,並將歸與阿撒瀉勒的公山羊送入曠野,象徵罪孽被徹底帶走,定為永遠的定例。第十七章禁止在會幕以外私自獻祭,嚴禁吃血,因為血裡有生命,是神賜給人在壇上贖罪的。

反思問題

  1. 在潔淨條例中,神要求百姓正視身體的不潔並經歷恢復的過程,這對你認識罪的影響與悔改的必要性有什麼啟發?
  2. 贖罪日由大祭司代替全民進入至聖所贖罪,這幅圖畫如何幫助你更深體會基督一次獻上自己、成就永遠贖罪的意義?
  3. 神嚴禁吃血,因『血裡有生命,所以能贖罪』——這教導如何影響你看待生命的神聖性,以及感恩基督所流的寶血?

新約馬可福音 1:23–45

前情提要

上回說到

昨天():約翰下監以後,耶穌在加利利傳道:「日期滿了, 神的國近了。你們當悔改,信福音!」祂呼召西門、安得烈、雅各、約翰四個漁夫跟從祂,又在迦百農的會堂教訓人,眾人驚訝祂像有權柄的人。

今天你會讀到

耶穌在會堂趕出污鬼,醫好西門的岳母,傍晚又醫治許多病人;天未亮祂到曠野禱告,接著往鄰近的鄉村傳道;最後祂摸了一個長大痲瘋的人,使他潔淨。

閱讀小提示

對照前兩天讀的 –46:長大痲瘋的人要獨居營外,不可接近。耶穌卻「伸手摸他」(),不但沒有被染污,反而使他潔淨了,又吩咐他照摩西的律法給祭司察看(利 14 章)。

點時代可看說明

可能都發生在同一個安息日,讓人看到耶穌傳道時忙碌的一天;時間約在主後 27–28 年。

馬可福音 第 1 章

在會堂趕出污鬼

23在會堂裡,有一個人被附著。他喊叫說:Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:

24「拿撒勒人耶穌,我們與你有甚麼?你來滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,乃是 。」“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

25耶穌責備他說:「不要作聲!從這人身上出來吧。」But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”

26污鬼叫那人,大聲喊叫,就出來了。At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.

27眾人都驚訝,以致彼此對問說:「這是甚麼事?是個啊!他用權柄吩咐污鬼,連污鬼也聽從了他。」All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

28耶穌的名聲就傳遍了加利利的四方。And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.

醫好西門的岳母

29他們一出會堂,就同著雅各、約翰,進了西門和安得烈的家。As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.

30西門的岳母正躺著,就有人告訴耶穌。Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.

31耶穌進前拉著她的手,扶她起來,熱就退了,她就服事他們。So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

傍晚醫治許多病人

32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, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed,

33合城的人都聚集在門前。and the whole town gathered at the door.

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 ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

清早在曠野禱告

35次日早晨,的時候,耶穌起來,到曠野地方去,在那裡禱告。Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went out to a solitary place to pray.

36西門和同伴追了他去,Simon and his companions went to look for Him,

37遇見了就對他說:「眾人都找你。」and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”

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。」But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”

39於是在加利利全地,進了會堂,傳道,趕鬼。So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

潔淨長大痲瘋的人

40有一個長的來求耶穌,向他跪下,說:「你若肯,必能叫我潔淨了。」Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41耶穌,就伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

42大痲瘋即時離開他,他就潔淨了。And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.

43耶穌他,就打發他走,Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:

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,對眾人作證據。」“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

45那人出去,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。But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.

摘要

馬可福音一章23至45節記載耶穌在加利利展開事工的一連串大能作為。祂在迦百農會堂趕出污鬼,眾人驚訝於祂帶有權柄的嶄新教導;隨後醫治西門岳母的熱病,傍晚又醫治許多病人、趕出許多鬼。次日清晨耶穌獨自禱告,表明祂的使命是到各處傳道。最後祂醫治一個長大痲瘋的人,動了慈心伸手觸摸,使其潔淨,卻囑咐他不要張揚。

反思問題

  1. 耶穌在忙碌服事後仍天未亮就起來禱告,這對你在繁忙生活中維持與神親密關係有什麼提醒?
  2. 耶穌主動觸摸被社會隔離的痲瘋病人,顯出祂的慈心與主動——在你周圍有哪些被忽略或邊緣化的人,你可以如何效法基督去關懷他們?
  3. 耶穌吩咐被醫治的人不要張揚,那人卻到處傳揚,反而限制了耶穌的行動。你如何在熱心分享見證與順服主的吩咐之間取得平衡?
