前情提要

上回說到

昨天(27–28 章):西羅非哈的女兒為父親爭取產業,神定下女兒也能繼承的條例;摩西求神立人接續,神指定約書亞,摩西按手在他頭上。接著列出每日、安息日、月朔、逾越節和七七節要獻的祭。

今天你會讀到

第 29 章接著列出七月的三個節期:初一吹角的日子、初十要刻苦己心的日子,和十五日起守的節,第一天要獻十三隻公牛,以後每天少一隻,第八日有嚴肅會。第 30 章說明許願、起誓必須守信,以及父親或丈夫在甚麼情況下可以廢去女子的願。

閱讀小提示

留意 「刻苦己心」——這一天就是 的贖罪日。在一年最盛大的節期之前,先有悔罪、謙卑的一天。

點時代可看說明

這些條例在摩押平原頒布,要百姓進迦南以後世世代代遵行。

40於是,摩西照耶和華所吩咐他的一切話告訴以色列人。So Moses spoke all this to the Israelites just as the LORD had commanded him.

民數記 第 30 章

許願要守信

1摩西曉諭以色列各支派的首領說:「耶和華所吩咐的乃是這樣:Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

2人若向耶和華許願或起誓,要,就不可,必要按口中所出的一切話行。If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.

年幼女子的願

3女子年幼、還在父家的時候,若向耶和華許願,要約束自己,And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,

4她父親也聽見她所許的願並約束自己的話,卻向她,她所許的願並約束自己的話就都要。and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

5但她父親聽見的日子若她所許的願和約束自己的話,就都不得為定;耶和華也必赦免她,因為她父親不應承。But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.

出嫁女子的願

6她若出了嫁,有願在身,或是口中出了約束自己的,If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,

7她丈夫聽見的日子,卻向她默默不言,她所許的願並約束自己的話就都要為定。and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

8但她丈夫聽見的日子,若不應承,就算廢了她所許的願和她出口約束自己的冒失話;耶和華也必赦免她。But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.

寡婦或被休婦人的願

9寡婦或是所許的願,就是她約束自己的話,都要為定。Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.

妻子的願

10她若在丈夫家裡許了願或起了誓,約束自己,If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,

11丈夫聽見,卻向她默默不言,也沒有不應承,她所許的願並約束自己的話就都要為定。and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

12丈夫聽見的日子,若把這兩樣全廢了,婦人口中所許的願或是約束自己的話就都不得為定,因她丈夫已經把這兩樣廢了;耶和華也必赦免她。But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.

13凡她所許的願和刻苦約束自己所起的誓,她丈夫可以堅定,也可以廢去。Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.

14倘若她丈夫天天向她默默不言,就算是堅定她所許的願和約束自己的話;因丈夫聽見的日子向她默默不言,就使這兩樣堅定。But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.

15但她丈夫聽見以後,若使這兩樣全廢了,就要。」But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”

16這是丈夫待妻子,父親待女兒,女兒年幼、還在父家,耶和華所吩咐摩西的律例。These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.

摘要

民數記第二十九章詳述七月間三大節期的獻祭條例:吹角節(初一日)、贖罪日(初十日)與住棚節(十五日起七天加第八日嚴肅會),每日須獻燔祭、素祭、奠祭與贖罪祭,住棚節期間公牛數目從十三隻逐日遞減至七隻,顯明神對敬拜的嚴謹要求與豐盛供應。第三十章轉論許願的律例:人向耶和華許願不可食言;年幼女子或已婚婦人所許的願,父親或丈夫有權在聽見當日堅定或廢去,若默默不言則視為堅定,但事後反悔則須擔當婦人的罪孽。

反思問題

  1. 神對獻祭的細節有如此嚴格的規定,這提醒你在敬拜和親近神的事上,是否也當存敬畏與認真的態度?
  2. 住棚節七天公牛逐日遞減,最終歸於安息的嚴肅會,這樣的節奏對你理解屬靈生活中「獻上」與「安息」的平衡有何啟發?
  3. 許願的律例強調言出必行的嚴肅性,你在對神或對人所作的承諾上,是否有需要重新省察和履行的地方?

新約馬可福音 14:1–26

前情提要

上回說到

昨天(第 13 章):耶穌預言聖殿要被拆毀,在橄欖山上教導門徒:要謹慎,不要被迷惑;必有戰爭、饑荒和逼迫,福音要先傳給萬民;人子要駕雲降臨,但那日子沒有人知道,所以要警醒。

今天你會讀到

逾越節前兩天,祭司長和文士想用詭計捉拿耶穌;在伯大尼,一個女人把一玉瓶的真哪噠香膏澆在耶穌頭上,耶穌說她是為祂的安葬預先澆的;猶大去見祭司長要出賣耶穌。耶穌和門徒吃逾越節的筵席,預言有人要賣祂,並拿起餅和杯,說這是祂的身體、祂立約的血。

閱讀小提示

留意兩個人的對比:女人打破玉瓶,把至貴的香膏全部獻上();猶大卻去見祭司長,要把耶穌交給他們,換來的是銀子的應許()。耶穌說,傳福音的地方都要述說這女人所做的()。

點時代可看說明

從逾越節前兩天()到逾越節的晚上,約在主後 30 年或 33 年。

馬可福音 第 14 章

祭司長設計捉拿耶穌

1過兩天是逾越節,又是,祭司長和文士想法子怎麼用詭計捉拿耶穌,殺他。Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

2只是說:「當節的日子不可,恐怕百姓。」“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

伯大尼的香膏

3耶穌在伯大尼長大痲瘋的家裡坐席的時候,有一個女人拿著一至貴的真來,打破玉瓶,把膏澆在耶穌的頭上。While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

4有幾個人心中很不喜悅,說:「何用這樣香膏呢?Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

5這香膏可以賣窮人。」他們就向那女人生氣。It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.

6耶穌說:「由她吧!為甚麼她呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

7因為常有窮人和你們同在,要向他們行善隨時都可以;只是你們不常有我。The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

8她所做的,是盡她所能的;她是為我安葬的事把香膏預先澆在我身上。She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

9我實在告訴你們,普天之下,無論在甚麼地方傳這福音,也要述說這女人所做的,以為記念。」And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

猶大出賣耶穌

10十二門徒之中,有一個去見祭司長,要把耶穌交給他們。Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

11他們聽見就歡喜,又應許給他銀子;他就尋思如何把耶穌交給他們。They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

預備逾越節的筵席

12除酵節的第一天,就是宰逾越羊羔的那一天,門徒對耶穌說:「你吃逾越節的筵席要我們往哪裡去預備呢?」On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13耶穌就打發兩個門徒,對他們說:「你們進城去,必有人拿著一瓶水迎面而來,你們就跟著他。So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14他進哪家去,你們就對那家的主人說:『夫子說:客房在哪裡?我與門徒好在那裡吃逾越節的筵席。』and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15他必指給你們擺設整齊的一間,你們就在那裡為我們預備。」And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16門徒出去,進了城,所遇見的正如耶穌所說的。他們就預備了逾越節的筵席。So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

預言有人要賣耶穌

17到了晚上,耶穌和十二個門徒都來了。When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18他們坐席正吃的時候,耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,你們中間有一個與我同吃的人要賣我了。」And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19他們就憂愁起來,一個一個地問他說:「是我嗎?」They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20耶穌對他們說:「是十二個門徒中同我的那個人。He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21人子必要去世,正如經上指著他所寫的;但賣人子的人有禍了!那人不生在世上倒好。」The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

餅和杯

22他們吃的時候,耶穌拿起餅來,祝了福,就擘開,遞給他們,說:「你們拿著吃,這是我的身體」;While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

23又拿起杯來,祝謝了,遞給他們;他們都喝了。Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24耶穌說:「這是我,為多人流出來的。He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25我實在告訴你們,我不再喝這葡萄汁,直到我在 神的國裡喝新的那日子。」Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

唱詩往橄欖山去

26他們,就出來,往橄欖山去。And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

摘要

逾越節將近,祭司長和文士密謀殺害耶穌。在伯大尼筵席上,一位女人打破玉瓶將極貴的真哪噠香膏澆在耶穌頭上,被人責為浪費,耶穌卻稱讚她做了美事,預先為祂安葬而膏抹。與此同時,猶大去見祭司長,出賣耶穌。除酵節當天,耶穌差遣門徒預備逾越節筵席,席間預言有人要出賣祂,又拿起餅和杯設立聖餐之約,宣告這是祂為多人流出的立約之血。

反思問題

  1. 那位女人不顧旁人批評,傾倒所有來膏抹耶穌——在你的信仰生活中,有什麼是你願意不計代價獻給主的?
  2. 猶大與女人形成鮮明對比:一個出賣,一個傾倒。你如何在日常抉擇中,辨別自己是走向親近主還是遠離主的方向?
  3. 耶穌在最後晚餐中設立聖餐,說「這是我立約的血,為多人流出來的」——這句話如何更新你對領受聖餐時的理解與感恩?
