前情提要

上回说到

昨天():历代志从亚当开始列家谱:挪亚三个儿子的后代、从闪到亚伯拉罕,再到以实玛利、以扫和以东诸王,最后列出以色列(雅各)的十二个儿子。

今天你会读到

篇幅最长的犹大支派家谱:从犹大和她玛所生的法勒斯,经波阿斯、耶西到大卫;接着列出大卫在希伯仑和耶路撒冷所生的儿子,以及所罗门以后历代的王,一直到被掳后的所罗巴伯和他的子孙;最后是犹大其他的宗族,包括向神祷告的雅比斯。

阅读小提示

留意 的雅比斯:在一长串名字中,作者忽然停下来,记下一个人向神求福的祷告,并说神应允了他所求的。

■ 当时 □ 预言所指

点时代可看说明

犹大排在最前面、写得最长,因为大卫的王室出自犹大; 的大卫后裔一直写到被掳归回以后好几代。

摘要

本段记载犹大支派的详细家谱:从犹大的儿子开始,经法勒斯、希斯仑一系追溯至大卫王(),再延伸大卫在希伯仑和耶路撒冷所生的众子,以及所罗门之后的王室世系直到被掳归回(第3章)。第4章继续记录犹大各宗族的分支与定居城邑,其中穿插雅比斯恳切祷告蒙神应允的事迹()。这些家谱显明神在漫长历史中信实地保守应许之约的后裔,同时也提醒个人行为——如珥行恶被神击杀、亚干在当灭之物上犯罪连累以色列——会带来严重后果。

反思问题

  1. 在漫长的家谱中,神持续保守大卫的王室血脉直到被掳归回。这对你信靠神长远的应许有什么提醒?
  2. 雅比斯在困苦中求告神、求神扩张境界并保守他(),你目前的生活中有哪些领域需要这样恳切地向神祈求?
  3. 家谱中记载珥行耶和华眼中看为恶、亚干在当灭之物上犯罪的警戒。这提醒你在哪些方面需要谨慎自守,避免得罪神?

新约约翰福音 18:38下–19:16

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():耶稣在园子里被捕,彼得拔刀又被耶稣制止;耶稣在亚那面前受审,彼得三次不认主;天亮时耶稣被解到彼拉多面前,说祂的国不属这世界,彼拉多却问:“真理是甚么呢?”

今天你会读到

彼拉多一再说查不出耶稣有甚么罪,想按节期的惯例释放祂,群众却要强盗巴拉巴;兵丁鞭打耶稣,给祂戴上荆棘冠冕、穿上紫袍戏弄;犹太人用“凯撒”逼迫彼拉多,他终于把耶稣交给他们去钉十字架。

阅读小提示

留意彼拉多三次宣告“查不出他有甚么罪来”(、、),最后却还是把耶稣交出去——约翰清楚写出:耶稣是无罪而被定罪的。

点时代可看说明

约主后 30/33 年逾越节期间;彼拉多是罗马派驻犹太地的巡抚,约主后 26–36 年在任。

约翰福音 第 18 章

我查不出他有甚么罪来

38彼拉多说:“真理是什么呢?”说了这话,又出来到犹太人那里,对他们说:“我查不出他有什么罪来。“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.

不要这人,要巴拉巴

39但你们有个,在逾越节要我给你们释放一个人,你们要我给你们释放犹太人的王吗?”But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

40他们又喊着说:“不要这人,要!”这巴拉巴是个强盗。“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)

约翰福音 第 19 章

鞭打和戏弄

1当下彼拉多将耶稣鞭打了。Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.

2兵丁用荆棘编做冠冕戴在他头上,给他穿上,The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

3又挨近他,说:“,犹太人的王啊!”他们就用手掌打他。And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.

你们看这个人

4彼拉多又出来对众人说:“我带他出来见你们,叫你们知道我查不出他有什么罪来。”Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

5耶稣出来,戴着荆棘冠冕,穿着紫袍。彼拉多对他们说:“!”When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

6祭司长和差役看见他,就喊着说:“钉他十字架!钉他十字架!”彼拉多说:“你们自己把他钉十字架吧!我查不出他有什么罪来。”As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

7犹太人回答说:“我们有律法,按那律法,他是该死的,因他以自己为 神的儿子。”“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

彼拉多越发害怕

8彼拉多听见这话,越发害怕,When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,

9又进衙门,对耶稣说:“你是哪里来的?”耶稣却不回答。and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.

10彼拉多说:“你不对我说话吗?你岂不知我有权柄释放你,也有权柄把你钉十字架吗?”So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”

11耶稣回答说:“若不是赐给你的,你就毫无权柄办我。所以,把我交给你的那人罪更重了。”Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

凯撒的忠臣

12从此,彼拉多想要释放耶稣,无奈犹太人喊着说:“你若释放这个人,就不是的(原文是朋友)。凡以自己为王的,就是背叛凯撒了。”From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”

坐堂判决,交出去钉十字架

13彼拉多听见这话,就带耶稣出来,到了一个地方,名叫“”,希伯来话叫,就在那里。When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

14那日是预备逾越节的日子,约有。彼拉多对犹太人说:“看哪,这是你们的王!”It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”

15他们喊着说:“除掉他!除掉他!钉他在十字架上!”彼拉多说:“我可以把你们的王钉十字架吗?”祭司长回答说:“除了凯撒,我们没有王。”At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.

16于是彼拉多将耶稣交给他们去钉十字架。Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.

摘要

彼拉多三次宣告查不出耶稣有罪,却因群众压力逐步妥协:先提议按逾越节惯例释放耶稣,群众却选择强盗巴拉巴;耶稣被鞭打、戴荆棘冠冕、穿紫袍受兵丁嘲弄。当犹太人以“他以自己为神的儿子”控告耶稣时,彼拉多越发害怕,但最终在“你若释放这人就不是凯撒忠臣”的政治威胁下屈服,将耶稣交出去钉十字架。此段深刻呈现耶稣的王权宣告、世人对真理的拒绝,以及人在权势和群众压力前的软弱。

反思问题

  1. 彼拉多明知耶稣无罪,却因政治压力而妥协。你是否曾在明知何为正确的情况下,因外在压力而选择退让?
  2. 耶稣对彼拉多说:“若不是从上头赐给你的,你就毫无权柄办我。”这句话如何改变你对生活中权柄与苦难的理解?
  3. 祭司长说“除了凯撒,我们没有王”,等于否认了神的主权。在你的日常抉择中,有没有什么事物在不知不觉中取代了神作王的地位?
