前情提要
上回說到
昨天(第 32 章):流便和迦得的子孫要留在約旦河東牧放牲畜,摩西起初責備他們像當年的探子一樣使百姓灰心;他們承諾先帶兵器過河一同打仗,摩西就把基列一帶分給他們和瑪拿西半個支派。

民數記 第 33 章
出埃及的路程
1以色列人按著軍隊,在摩西、亞倫的手下出埃及地所行的(或譯:站口;下同)記在下面。These are the journeys of the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt by their divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2摩西遵著耶和華的吩咐記載他們所行的路程,其路程乃是這樣:At the LORD’s command, Moses recorded the stages of their journey. These are the stages listed by their starting points:
3正月十五日,就是逾越節的次日,以色列人從起行,在一切埃及人眼前地出去。On the fifteenth day of the first month, on the day after the Passover, the Israelites set out from Rameses. They marched out defiantly in full view of all the Egyptians,

要趕出那地的居民
50耶和華在摩押平原─約旦河邊、耶利哥對面曉諭摩西說:On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,
51你吩咐以色列人說:你們過約旦河進迦南地的時候,“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52就要從你們面前趕出那裡所有的居民,毀滅他們一切的石像和他們一切,又拆毀他們一切的邱壇。you must drive out before you all the inhabitants of the land, destroy all their carved images and cast idols, and demolish all their high places.
53你們要奪那地,住在其中,因我把那地賜給你們為業。You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54你們要按家室拈鬮,承受那地;人多的,要把產業多分給他們;人少的,要把產業少分給他們。拈出何地給何人,就要歸何人。你們要按宗族的支派承受。And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
55倘若你們不趕出那地的居民,所容留的居民就必作你們,肋下的荊棘,也必在你們所住的地上擾害你們。But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle.
56而且我素常有意怎樣待他們,也必照樣待你們。」And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”
民數記 第 34 章
迦南的四境
1耶和華曉諭摩西說:Then the LORD said to Moses,
2「你吩咐以色列人說:你們到了迦南地,就是歸你們為業的迦南之地,“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
南界
3南角要從尋的曠野,貼著以東的邊界;南界要從東頭起,Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,
4繞到的南邊,接連到尋,直通到加低斯‧巴尼亞的南邊,又通到哈薩‧亞達,接連到押們,cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,
5從押們轉到,直通到海為止。where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.
西界
6「西邊要以為界;這就是你們的西界。Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
北界
7「北界要從大海起,劃到何珥山,Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,
8從何珥山劃到,通到西達達,and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,
9又通到西斐崙,直到哈薩‧以難。這要作你們的北界。continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
東界
10「你們要從哈薩‧以難劃到示番為東界。And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
11這界要從示番下到亞延東邊的利比拉,又要達到的東邊。then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12這界要下到約旦河,通到鹽海為止。這四圍的邊界以內,要作你們的地。」Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
九個半支派的地
13摩西吩咐以色列人說:「這地就是耶和華吩咐拈鬮給九個半支派承受為業的;So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14因為流便支派和迦得支派按著宗族受了產業,瑪拿西半個支派也受了產業。For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.
15這兩個半支派已經在耶利哥對面、約旦河東、受了產業。」These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
分地的首領
16耶和華曉諭摩西說:Then the LORD said to Moses,
17「要給你們分地為業之人的名字是祭司以利亞撒和嫩的兒子約書亞。“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18又要從每支派中選一個首領幫助他們。Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
19這些人的名字:猶大支派有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒。These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20西緬支派有亞米忽的兒子示母利。Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21便雅憫支派有基斯倫的兒子以利達。Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22但支派有一個首領,約利的兒子布基。Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
23約瑟的子孫瑪拿西支派有一個首領,以弗的兒子漢聶。Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24以法蓮支派有一個首領,拾弗但的兒子基母利。Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
25西布倫支派有一個首領,帕納的兒子以利撒番。Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26以薩迦支派有一個首領,阿散的兒子帕鐵。Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27亞設支派有一個首領,示羅米的兒子亞希忽。Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
28拿弗他利支派有一個首領,亞米忽的兒子比大黑。and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29這些人就是耶和華所吩咐、在迦南地把產業分給以色列人的。These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
摘要
民數記33至34章記載以色列人從埃及到摩押平原的完整行程路線,共四十二站,見證神四十年來的引導與同行。到達應許之地邊界時,神吩咐他們必須趕出迦南居民、毀滅偶像,並按支派拈鬮分地;若容留居民,必成眼中之刺、肋下之荊棘。第34章詳細劃定迦南四境,並指派以利亞撒、約書亞及十二支派首領負責分地,顯明神對應許之地的主權與秩序。
反思問題
- 回顧你的信仰歷程,哪些「站口」讓你特別經歷神的帶領或管教?你是否養成記念神作為的習慣?
- 神警告以色列人不可容留迦南居民,否則必成荊棘。在你生命中,有哪些明知該對付卻一直容留的罪或試探?
- 神按公平原則分配產業,人多多分、人少少分。你如何看待神在你生命中的分配與託付?是否信任祂的安排?
新約馬可福音 14:53–72
前情提要
上回說到
昨天():猶大帶著拿刀棒的人來,用親嘴作暗號出賣耶穌;有人削掉大祭司僕人的一個耳朵,耶穌說這是要應驗經上的話。門徒都離開祂逃走了,一個少年人也丟下麻布,赤身逃走。
今天你會讀到
耶穌被帶到大祭司那裡受審,許多假見證各不相合;大祭司問「你是那當稱頌者的兒子基督不是」,耶穌回答「我是」,並說他們要看見人子駕雲降臨,眾人就定祂該死的罪,又吐唾沫、打祂。同時,彼得在院子裡三次不認主,雞叫第二遍時,他想起耶穌的話,就哭了。
閱讀小提示
馬可把兩個場景交錯著寫:屋裡,耶穌在大祭司面前坦然承認「我是」();院子裡,彼得在使女和旁人面前三次否認。彼得最後「思想起來,就哭了」()——他的故事還沒有結束()。
點時代可看說明
耶穌被捕後當夜在大祭司的府裡受審;馬太福音記載這位大祭司是該亞法()。
馬可福音 第 14 章
耶穌被帶到大祭司那裡
53他們把耶穌帶到大祭司那裡,又有眾祭司長和長老並文士都來和大祭司一同聚集。They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.
54彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌,一直進入大祭司的,和一同坐在火光裡烤火。Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.
假見證各不相合
55祭司長和全尋找見證控告耶穌,要治死他,卻尋不著。Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.
56因為有好些人作假見證告他,只是他們的見證。For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.
57又有幾個人站起來作假見證告他,說:Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:
58「我們聽見他說:『我要拆毀這殿,三日內就另造一座不是人手所造的。』」“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”
59他們就是這麼作見證,也是各不相合。But even their testimony was inconsistent.
你是基督不是
60大祭司起來站在中間,問耶穌說:「你甚麼都不回答嗎?這些人作見證告你的是甚麼呢?」So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
61耶穌卻不言語,一句也不回答。大祭司又問他說:「你是那的兒子基督不是?」But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62耶穌說:「。你們必看見人子坐在那的右邊,駕著天上的雲降臨。」“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
定耶穌該死的罪
63大祭司就,說:「我們何必再用見證人呢?At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
64你們已經聽見他這的話了。你們的意見如何?」他們都定他該死的罪。You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.
受侮辱、被毆打
65就有人吐唾沫在他臉上,又蒙著他的臉,用拳頭打他,對他說:「你說預言吧!」差役接過他來,他。Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
彼得三次不認主
66彼得在下邊院子裡;來了大祭司的一個使女,While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down
67見彼得烤火,就看著他,說:「你素來也是同耶穌一夥的。」and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”
68彼得卻不承認,說:「我不知道,也不明白你說的是甚麼。」於是出來,到了,雞就叫了。But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.
69那使女看見他,又對旁邊站著的人說:「這也是他們一黨的。」There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”
70彼得又不承認。過了不多的時候,旁邊站著的人又對彼得說:「你真是他們一黨的!因為你是。」But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”
71彼得就地說:「我不認得你們說的這個人。」But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”
雞叫第二遍
72立時雞叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶穌對他所說的話:「雞叫兩遍以先,你要三次不認我。」,就哭了。And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
摘要
馬可福音14章53至72節記載耶穌被帶到大祭司面前受審,祭司長尋找假見證要定祂死罪,耶穌卻沉默以對,直到大祭司問祂是否是基督,祂才明確宣告「我是」,隨即被定為褻瀆、判為該死。與此同時,彼得在院子裡三次不認主,當雞叫第二遍時,他想起耶穌的預言,痛哭悔恨。這段經文深刻對比了耶穌面對苦難的堅定與門徒在壓力下的軟弱。
反思問題
- 耶穌在不公義的審判中選擇沉默,卻在關鍵時刻勇敢宣告身分。你在面對誤解或逼迫時,如何分辨何時該沉默、何時該為信仰發聲?
- 彼得曾信誓旦旦說絕不跌倒,最終卻三次不認主。你是否有過高估自己屬靈狀態的經驗?這提醒你什麼?
- 彼得不認主後痛哭,顯示他內心仍有悔改之心。當你在軟弱中跌倒時,你是否相信神仍願意接納和恢復你?你如何回到祂面前?
