前情提要
上回说到
昨天():西缅支派的家谱和住处;约旦河东的流便、迦得、玛拿西半支派在阵上呼求神而得胜,后来却随从外邦的神,被亚述王掳去。
今天你会读到
利未支派的家谱:先列从亚伦到被掳时约萨答的大祭司世系;再列利未三个儿子革顺、哥辖、米拉利的后代,其中有撒母耳;接着是大卫所派、在会幕前歌唱的希幔、亚萨、以探三族;最后是亚伦子孙和其他利未人在各支派中分得的城邑和郊野。

留意 –32:大卫派人在约柜前“管理歌唱的事”——在历代志里,敬拜的歌唱和献祭一样,被看成正式的圣职。

摘要
历代志上第六章详细记载利未支派三大家族(革顺、哥辖、米拉利)的族谱,特别追溯从亚伦到被掳时期的祭司世系,以及大卫所设立的圣殿歌唱事奉者希幔、亚萨、以探的家谱。本章也记录利未人在以色列各支派中所分得的城邑与郊野,显明神为专职事奉祂的人预备了居所与产业。
反思问题
- 神为利未人在各支派中分配城邑,使他们散居在百姓当中。你认为这样的安排对整个以色列群体的属灵生命有什么意义?在你的生活圈中,你如何成为周围人属灵上的祝福?
- 大卫在约柜安设后特别设立歌唱的职分来敬拜神。音乐与敬拜在你的信仰生活中扮演什么角色?你如何透过敬拜来回应神的同在?
- 这段族谱从利未一直延续到被掳时期,横跨数百年的忠心传承。在你的家庭或信仰群体中,你正在传递怎样的属灵遗产给下一代?
新约约翰福音 20:1–31
前情提要
上回说到
昨天():耶稣背着十字架到各各他,被钉在两个人中间;祂把母亲托付给所爱的门徒,说了“成了”就断气;兵丁扎祂的肋旁,流出血和水;约瑟和尼哥底母把祂安葬在园中的新坟墓里。
今天你会读到
七日的第一日清早,抹大拉的马利亚发现坟墓空了,彼得和另一个门徒跑去看;复活的耶稣向哭泣的马利亚显现;当晚祂向关着门的门徒显现,向他们吹气说“你们受圣灵”;八天后又向多疑的多马显现;最后约翰说明写这卷书的目的。
阅读小提示
留意 是全卷的目的:记这些事,“要叫你们信耶稣是基督,是 神的儿子”——读约翰福音不只是认识一段历史,也是被邀请去信。
点时代可看说明
约主后 30/33 年,耶稣复活的那个星期日,以及八天之后。
约翰福音 第 20 章
坟墓空了
1清早,天还黑的时候,抹大拉的马利亚来到坟墓那里,看见石头从坟墓挪开了,Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
2就跑来见西门·彼得和,对他们说:“有人把主从坟墓里挪了去,我们不知道放在哪里。”So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”
两个门徒跑到坟墓
3彼得和那门徒就出来,往坟墓那里去。Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.
4两个人同跑,那门徒比彼得跑得更快,先到了坟墓,The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5低头往里看,就见细麻布还放在那里,只是没有进去。He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
6西门·彼得随后也到了,进坟墓里去,就看见细麻布还放在那里,Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
7又看见耶稣的没有和细麻布放在一处,是另在一处卷着。The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.
8先到坟墓的那门徒也进去,看见就信了。Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.
9(因为他们还不明白圣经的意思,就是耶稣必要从死里复活。)For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
10于是两个门徒回自己的住处去了。Then the disciples returned to their homes.
耶稣向抹大拉的马利亚显现
11马利亚却站在坟墓外面哭。哭的时候,低头往坟墓里看,But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb,
12就见两个天使,穿着白衣,在安放耶稣身体的地方坐着,一个在头,一个在脚。and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.
13天使对她说:“妇人,你为什么哭?”她说:“因为有人把我主挪了去,我不知道放在那里。”“Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked. “Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”
14说了这话,就转过身来,看见耶稣站在那里,却不知道是耶稣。When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not recognize that it was Jesus.
15耶稣问她说:“妇人,为什么哭?你找谁呢?”马利亚以为是看园的,就对他说:“先生,若是你把他移了去,请告诉我,你把他放在哪里,我便去取他。”“Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked. “Whom are you seeking?” Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”
16耶稣说:“马利亚。”马利亚就转过来,用希伯来话对他说:“!”(拉波尼就是夫子的意思。)Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17耶稣说:“,因我还没有升上去见我的父。你往我弟兄那里去,告诉他们说,我要升上去见我的父,也是你们的父,见我的 神,也是你们的 神。”“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
18抹大拉的马利亚就去告诉门徒说:“我已经看见了主。”她又将主对她说的这话告诉他们。Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
向门徒显现:愿你们平安
19那日(就是七日的第一日)晚上,门徒所在的地方,因怕犹太人,门都关了。耶稣来,站在当中,对他们说:“愿你们平安!”It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.
20说了这话,就把手和肋旁指给他们看。门徒看见主,就喜乐了。After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21耶稣又对他们说:“愿你们平安!父怎样差遣了我,我也照样差遣你们。”Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”
22说了这话,就向他们,说:“!When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23你们赦免谁的罪,谁的罪就赦免了;你们留下谁的罪,谁的罪就留下了。”If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”
多马的怀疑
24那十二个门徒中,有称为的多马;耶稣来的时候,他没有和他们同在。Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25那些门徒就对他说:“我们已经看见主了。”多马却说:“我非看见他手上的,用指头探入那钉痕,又用手探入他的肋旁,我总不信。”So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”
我的主!我的神!
26过了八日,门徒又在屋里,多马也和他们同在,门都关了。耶稣来,站在当中说:“愿你们平安!”Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
27就对多马说:“伸过你的指头来,摸(原文是看)我的手;伸出你的手来,探入我的肋旁。不要,总要信!”Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28多马说:“我的主!我的 神!”Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
29耶稣对他说:“你因看见了我才信;那没有看见就信的有福了。”Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
写这书的目的
30耶稣在门徒面前另外行了许多,没有记在这书上。Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.
31但记这些事要叫你们信耶稣是基督,是 神的儿子,并且叫你们信了他,就可以因他的名得生命。But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.
摘要
约翰福音第二十章记载耶稣复活后的多次显现:先向在坟墓外哭泣的抹大拉马利亚显现,呼唤她的名字;又向聚集的门徒显现,赐下平安与圣灵,并差遣他们;最后向起初不信的多马显现,邀请他亲手触摸钉痕。本章以约翰写作目的作结——记载这些事是要人信耶稣是基督、是神的儿子,因信祂的名得生命。
反思问题
- 马利亚在悲伤中认不出耶稣,直到耶稣呼唤她的名字才认出主。在你生命中困惑或低谷的时刻,你是否曾经历神以个人化的方式向你说话?那是怎样的经历?
- 耶稣对多马说‘不要疑惑,总要信’,又说‘没有看见就信的有福了’。面对信仰中尚未亲眼看见的应许,你如何在疑惑与信心之间找到平衡?
- 复活的耶稣对门徒说‘父怎样差遣了我,我也照样差遣你们’,并赐下圣灵。你认为自己被差遣到哪些场域?你如何倚靠圣灵的能力去完成这个使命?
