旧约利未记 15:1–17:16
前情提要
上回说到
昨天(14 章):大痲疯痊愈的人,要经过营外两只鸟的洁净礼、剃毛洗身,第八天献祭,用血和油抹在右耳垂、右手和右脚的大拇指上,才完整地回到群体中;穷人可以献斑鸠或雏鸽。房屋墙上出现灾病,也要察看、刮除,甚至拆毁。
今天你会读到
第 15 章讲身体排出物带来的不洁净和洁净的方法;第 16 章是赎罪日:大祭司一年一次进入幔子内,在施恩座前弹血,又把百姓的罪归到一只活的公山羊头上,送到旷野;第 17 章规定献祭要在会幕门口,并禁止吃血。
阅读小提示
留意 “活物的生命是在血中”:神把血赐给人,在坛上为生命赎罪。这说明圣经为甚么这么重视血,也帮助我们明白新约讲耶稣流血的意义()。
点时代可看说明
把赎罪日的条例接在拿答、亚比户死后(第 10 章);后来犹太人称这日为 Yom Kippur,至今仍是犹太历中最严肃的日子。

利未记 第 15 章
男人的漏症
1耶和华对摩西、亚伦说:And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2“你们晓谕以色列人说:人若身患,他因这漏症就不洁净了。“Say to the Israelites, ‘When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean.
3他患漏症,无论是下流的,是止住的,都是不洁净。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他所躺的床都为不洁净,所坐的物也为不洁净。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,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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那摸患漏症人身体的,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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若患漏症人吐在洁净的人身上,那人必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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患漏症人所骑的鞍子也为不洁净。Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides will be unclean.
10凡摸了他身下之物的,必不洁净到晚上;拿了那物的,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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患漏症的人没有用水手,无论摸了谁,谁必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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.
漏症痊愈后的洁净
13“患漏症的人痊愈了,就要为洁净自己计算七天,也必洗衣服,用活水洗身,就洁净了。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,要取两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽,来到会幕门口、耶和华面前,把鸟交给祭司。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祭司要献上一只为赎罪祭,一只为燔祭;因那人患的漏症,祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪。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.
梦遗与同房
16“人若梦遗,他必不洁净到晚上,并要用水洗全身。When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
17无论是衣服是皮子,被精所染,必不洁净到晚上,并要用水洗。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,两个人必不洁净到晚上,并要用水洗澡。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.
女人的经期
19“女人行经,必污秽七天;凡摸她的,必不洁净到晚上。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女人在污秽之中,凡她所躺的物件都为不洁净,所坐的物件也都不洁净。Anything on which she lies or sits during her menstruation will be unclean,
21凡摸她床的,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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凡摸她所坐什么物件的,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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,若有别的物件,人一摸了,必不洁净到晚上。And whether it is a bed or furniture on which she was sitting, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening.
24男人若与那女人同房,染了她的污秽,就要七天不洁净;所躺的床也为不洁净。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“女人若在经期以外患多日的血漏,或是经期过长,有了漏症,她就因这漏症不洁净,与她在经期不洁净一样。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、所坐的物都要看为不洁净,与她月经的时候一样。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凡摸这些物件的,就为不洁净,必不洁净到晚上,并要洗衣服,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,就要计算七天,然后才为洁净。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,要取两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽,带到会幕门口给祭司。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祭司要献一只为赎罪祭,一只为燔祭;因那人血漏不洁,祭司要在耶和华面前为她赎罪。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.
不可玷污神的帐幕
31“你们要这样使以色列人与他们的污秽,免得他们玷污我的帐幕,就因自己的污秽死亡。”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这是患漏症和梦遗而不洁净的,This is the law of him who has a discharge, of the man who has an emission of semen whereby he is unclean,
33并有月经病的和患漏症的,无论男女,并人与不洁净女人同房的条例。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.’”
利未记 第 16 章
不可随时进幔子内
1亚伦的两个儿子近到耶和华面前死了。死了之后,耶和华晓谕摩西说:Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.
2“要告诉你哥哥亚伦,不可随时进圣所的内、到柜上的前,免得他死亡,因为我要从云中显现在施恩座上。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亚伦进圣所,要带一只公牛犊为赎罪祭,一只公绵羊为燔祭。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要穿上细麻布圣内袍,把细麻布裤子穿在身上,腰束细麻布带子,头戴细麻布冠冕;这都是圣服。他要用水洗身,然后穿戴。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要从以色列会众取两只公山羊为赎罪祭,一只公绵羊为燔祭。And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
为自己赎罪,为两只公山羊拈阄
6“亚伦要把赎罪祭的公牛奉上,为自己和本家赎罪;Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
7也要把两只公山羊安置在会幕门口、耶和华面前,Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8为那两只羊,一阄归与耶和华,一阄归与。After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
9亚伦要把那拈阄归与耶和华的羊献为赎罪祭,he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10但那拈阄归与阿撒泻勒的羊要活着安置在耶和华面前,用以赎罪,打发人送到旷野去,归与阿撒泻勒。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.
带血进入幔子内
11“亚伦要把赎罪祭的公牛牵来宰了,为自己和本家赎罪;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拿香炉,从耶和华面前的坛上盛满火炭,又拿捣细的香料,都带入幔子内,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在耶和华面前,把香放在火上,使香的烟云遮掩法柜上的施恩座,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,用指头弹在施恩座的东面,又在施恩座的前面弹血七次。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“随后他要宰那为百姓作赎罪祭的公山羊,把羊的血带入幔子内,弹在施恩座的上面和前面,好像弹公牛的血一样。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他因以色列人诸般的污秽、过犯,就是他们一切的罪愆,当这样在圣所行赎罪之礼,并因会幕在他们污秽之中,也要照样而行。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他进圣所赎罪的时候,会幕里不可有人,直等到他为自己和本家并以色列全会众赎了罪出来。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他出来,要到耶和华面前的坛那里,在坛上行赎罪之礼,又要取些公牛的血和公山羊的血,抹在坛上四角的周围;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也要用指头把血弹在坛上七次,洁净了坛,从坛上除掉以色列人诸般的污秽,使坛成圣。”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.
活羊担当罪孽送到旷野
20“亚伦为圣所和会幕并坛献完了赎罪祭,就要把那只活着的公山羊奉上。When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.
21两手按在羊头上,以色列人诸般的罪孽过犯,就是他们一切的罪愆,把这罪都归在羊的头上,借着所派之人的手,送到旷野去。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要把这羊放在旷野,这羊要担当他们一切的罪孽,带到。The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
23“亚伦要进会幕,把他进圣所时所穿的细麻布衣服脱下,放在那里,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又要在圣处用水洗身,穿上衣服,出来,把自己的燔祭和百姓的燔祭献上,为自己和百姓赎罪。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赎罪祭牲的脂油要在坛上焚烧。He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26那放羊归与阿撒泻勒的人要洗衣服,用水洗身,然后进营。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作赎罪祭的公牛和公山羊的血既带入圣所赎罪,这牛羊就要搬到营外,将皮、肉、粪用火焚烧。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焚烧的人要洗衣服,用水洗身,然后进营。”The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
每年七月初十赎罪日
29“每逢七月初十日,你们要,无论是本地人,是寄居在你们中间的外人,什么工都不可做;这要作你们永远的定例。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因在这日要为你们赎罪,使你们洁净。你们要在耶和华面前得以洁净,脱尽一切的罪愆。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这日你们要守为圣安息日,要刻苦己心;这为永远的定例。It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
32那受膏、接续他父亲承接圣职的祭司要穿上细麻布的圣衣,行赎罪之礼。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他要在至圣所和会幕与坛行赎罪之礼,并要为众祭司和会众的百姓赎罪。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这要作你们永远的定例—就是因以色列人一切的罪,要一年一次为他们赎罪。”于是,亚伦照耶和华所吩咐摩西的行了。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.
利未记 第 17 章
献祭要带到会幕门口
1耶和华对摩西说:Then the LORD said to Moses,
2“你晓谕亚伦和他儿子并以色列众人说,耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样:“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,或是绵羊羔,或是山羊,不拘宰于营内营外,‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it
4若未曾牵到会幕门口、耶和华的帐幕前献给耶和华为供物,必归到那人身上。他流了血,要从民中剪除。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这是为要使以色列人把他们在田野里所献的祭带到会幕门口、耶和华面前,交给祭司,献与耶和华为平安祭。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祭司要把血洒在会幕门口、耶和华的坛上,把脂油焚烧,献给耶和华为馨香的祭。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他们不可再献祭给他们行邪淫所随从的(原文是公山羊);这要作他们世世代代永远的定例。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“你要晓谕他们说:凡以色列家中的人,或是寄居在他们中间的外人,献燔祭或是平安祭,Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
9若不带到会幕门口献给耶和华,那人必从民中剪除。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,或是寄居在他们中间的外人,若吃什么血,我必向那吃血的人变脸,把他从民中剪除。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因为活物的生命是在血中。我把这血赐给你们,可以在坛上为你们的生命;因血里有生命,所以能赎罪。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,我对以色列人说:你们都不可吃血;寄居在你们中间的外人也不可吃血。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,或是寄居在他们中间的外人,若打猎得了可吃的禽兽,必放出它的血来,。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“论到一切活物的生命,就在血中。所以我对以色列人说:无论什么活物的血,你们都不可吃,因为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,或是被野兽撕裂的,无论是本地人,是寄居的,必不洁净到晚上,都要洗衣服,用水洗身,到了晚上才为洁净。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,就必担当他的罪孽。”But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
摘要
利未记十五至十七章涵盖洁净条例与赎罪大日。第十五章详述男女因漏症、经期等身体排泄所致的不洁净,以及恢复洁净的洗濯与献祭程序,强调百姓须与污秽隔绝,免得玷污神的帐幕。第十六章记载赎罪日的完整仪式:大祭司穿圣服进至圣所,为自己、本家和全会众献赎罪祭,并将归与阿撒泻勒的公山羊送入旷野,象征罪孽被彻底带走,定为永远的定例。第十七章禁止在会幕以外私自献祭,严禁吃血,因为血里有生命,是神赐给人在坛上赎罪的。
反思问题
- 在洁净条例中,神要求百姓正视身体的不洁并经历恢复的过程,这对你认识罪的影响与悔改的必要性有什么启发?
- 赎罪日由大祭司代替全民进入至圣所赎罪,这幅图画如何帮助你更深体会基督一次献上自己、成就永远赎罪的意义?
- 神严禁吃血,因‘血里有生命,所以能赎罪’——这教导如何影响你看待生命的神圣性,以及感恩基督所流的宝血?
新约马可福音 1:23–45
前情提要
上回说到
昨天():约翰下监以后,耶稣在加利利传道:“日期满了, 神的国近了。你们当悔改,信福音!”祂呼召西门、安得烈、雅各、约翰四个渔夫跟从祂,又在迦百农的会堂教训人,众人惊讶祂像有权柄的人。
今天你会读到
耶稣在会堂赶出污鬼,医好西门的岳母,傍晚又医治许多病人;天未亮祂到旷野祷告,接着往邻近的乡村传道;最后祂摸了一个长大痲疯的人,使他洁净。
阅读小提示
对照前两天读的 –46:长大痲疯的人要独居营外,不可接近。耶稣却“伸手摸他”(),不但没有被染污,反而使他洁净了,又吩咐他照摩西的律法给祭司察看(利 14 章)。
点时代可看说明
可能都发生在同一个安息日,让人看到耶稣传道时忙碌的一天;时间约在主后 27–28 年。
马可福音 第 1 章
在会堂赶出污鬼
23在会堂里,有一个人被附着。他喊叫说:Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24“拿撒勒人耶稣,我们与你有什么?你来灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,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耶稣责备他说:“不要作声!从这人身上出来吧。”But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26污鬼叫那人,大声喊叫,就出来了。At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27众人都惊讶,以致彼此对问说:“这是什么事?是个啊!他用权柄吩咐污鬼,连污鬼也听从了他。”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耶稣的名声就传遍了加利利的四方。And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
医好西门的岳母
29他们一出会堂,就同着雅各、约翰,进了西门和安得烈的家。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西门的岳母正躺着,就有人告诉耶稣。Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31耶稣进前拉着她的手,扶她起来,热就退了,她就服事他们。So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
傍晚医治许多病人
32的时候,有人带着一切害病的,和被鬼附的,来到耶稣跟前。That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed,
33合城的人都聚集在门前。and the whole town gathered at the door.
34耶稣治好了许多害各样病的人,又赶出许多鬼,不许鬼说话,因为鬼认识他。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.
清早在旷野祷告
35次日早晨,的时候,耶稣起来,到旷野地方去,在那里祷告。Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went out to a solitary place to pray.
36西门和同伴追了他去,Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37遇见了就对他说:“众人都找你。”and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
38耶稣对他们说:“我们可以往别处去,到邻近的乡村,我也好在那里传道,因为我是为这事出来的。”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于是在加利利全地,进了会堂,传道,赶鬼。So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
洁净长大痲疯的人
40有一个长的来求耶稣,向他跪下,说:“你若肯,必能叫我洁净了。”Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41耶稣,就伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!”Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42大麻风即时离开他,他就洁净了。And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43耶稣他,就打发他走,Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44对他说:“你要谨慎,什么话都不可告诉人,只要去把身体给祭司察看,又因为你洁净了,献上,对众人作证据。”“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,许多的话,把这件事传扬开了,叫耶稣以后不得再明明地进城,只好在外边旷野地方。人从各处都。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
马可福音一章23至45节记载耶稣在加利利展开事工的一连串大能作为。祂在迦百农会堂赶出污鬼,众人惊讶于祂带有权柄的崭新教导;随后医治西门岳母的热病,傍晚又医治许多病人、赶出许多鬼。次日清晨耶稣独自祷告,表明祂的使命是到各处传道。最后祂医治一个长大痲疯的人,动了慈心伸手触摸,使其洁净,却嘱咐他不要张扬。
反思问题
- 耶稣在忙碌服事后仍天未亮就起来祷告,这对你在繁忙生活中维持与神亲密关系有什么提醒?
- 耶稣主动触摸被社会隔离的痲疯病人,显出祂的慈心与主动——在你周围有哪些被忽略或边缘化的人,你可以如何效法基督去关怀他们?
- 耶稣吩咐被医治的人不要张扬,那人却到处传扬,反而限制了耶稣的行动。你如何在热心分享见证与顺服主的吩咐之间取得平衡?
