CHAPTER EIGHT Luke 9: A MANY-SIDED MINISTRY
It was an exasperating evening. I was studying and
writing, and the phone was ringing every half hour. Had the calls been from
friends, I would have enjoyed taking a break and chatting, but they came from
people wanting to sell me everything from dance tickets to investments. By the
time I got to bed that night, I had just about decided to get an unlisted
number and start protecting my privacy.
那是個恼人的夜晚。我正在讀書和写作，电话鈴每半小时响一次。如果是来自朋友的电话，那很好, 可以享受休息和聊天，但是,
却是来自推销商的推銷物品的電話, 從舞票到投资。當天晚上睡觉的时候，立刻决定要換個祕密的電話号码，避免吵擾。
At eleven
o’clock , a man phoned who was contemplating committing suicide, and
with the Lord’s help, I was able to encourage him to get a new grip on life.
When I hung up, I gave thanks that I did not have an unlisted number. As I lay
down to go back to sleep, I thought of the Lord Jesus and the kind of schedule
He must have had. He was available to all kinds of people at all times, and He
did not turn anyone away. He probably would not have had an unlisted number.
就在當晚十一点钟，有位企圖自杀的男子打来电话，在主的恩賜下，我能够鼓励他重新获得生命。当我挂断电话时，立刻感谢上帝沒有賜我不記載在電話簿上的電話号码。当我再要回去睡觉的时候，就思念主耶稣，祂肯定有祂必要的时间表。随时祂都要和各种各样的人接觸，耶穌從來沒有拒絕過任何人的請求。或許祂沒有不記載在電話簿上的電話号码。
In this chapter, Dr. Luke
described the busy life of the compassionate Son of Man as He performed four
ministries.
在本章中，路加博士描述滿有憐憫的人子的忙碌生活，只記載耶穌如何施行祂的四種宣教事工。
1. Sending (9:1–11)
1. 派遣（9：1-11）
The commission (vv. 1–6).
The Twelve had been ordained some months before (Luke 6:13 –16) and had been traveling with Jesus as
His helpers. Now He was going to send them out in pairs (Mark 6:7) to have
their own ministry and to put into practice what they had learned. This was
their “solo flight.”
宣教使命（1至6等节）。十二個使徒在几个月前（路6：13-16）受耶穌按手，成為祂的助手，且一直与耶稣一起宣教。现在祂要两个兩個一組的派遣他们出去（可 6：7），将操練他们從主所学的，行使自己的傳教事工。耶穌讓他们“單獨飞行”了。
But before He sent them out, He gave them the
equipment needed to get the job done, as well as the instructions to follow. The parallel passage in Matthew 10 reveals that the
Twelve were sent only to the people of Israel
Power is the ability to
accomplish a task, and authority is the right to do it, and Jesus gave both to
His apostles. They were able to cast out demons and heal the sick, but the most
important ministry He gave them was that of preaching the gospel. The word
preach in Luke 9:6 describes a herald proclaiming a message from the king, and
in Luke 9:6 it means “to preach the good news.” They were heralds of the good
news!
權力是完成任务的能力，权柄是去完成該任务的權能，耶稣将這兩者都賜给使徒。他们有能力赶鬼治病，但祂给他们的最重要的權能是传福音。在路加福音9章6節中是这樣的描述
“传道” 是宣告来自国王的信息的號角，而路加福音9章6記載的意義為“传扬好消息”。他们是傳播福音好消息的號角！
The apostles’ ability to heal was a special gift
that authenticated their ministry (see Rom. 15:18 –19; 2 Cor. 12:12 ;
Heb. 2:1–4). Miracles were one evidence that the Lord had sent them and was
working through them (Mark 16:20 ).
Today we test
a person’s ministry by the truth of the Word of God (1 John 2:18 –29; 4:1–6). Miracles alone are
not proof that a person is truly sent of God, for Satan can enable his false
ministers to do amazing things (Matt. 24:24; 2 Cor. 11:13–15; 2 Thess. 2:9–10).
Jesus told the apostles
what to take on their journey, with an emphasis on urgency and simplicity. They
were not to take a “begging bag” along but were to trust God to open up homes
for their hospitality. Matthew 10:11–15 tells how they were to select these
homes. If they were refused, they should shake off the dust from their feet, a
familiar act performed by orthodox Jews whenever they left Gentile territory
(see Luke 10:10 –11; Acts 13:51 ).
耶稣告诉使徒在旅程中要帶些什麼，並强调只帶急用的和简单的。他们不能帶
“乞讨袋”，而是要相信上帝为他们預備的接待家庭。马太福音10章11至15節讲述他们如何选择这些家庭。如果被他们拒绝，应该跺掉脚上的灰尘，这是正统的犹太人在离开外邦人领土时，所做的動作（参见 路10：10-11;
徒13:51）。
The confusion (vv. 7–9).
When the disciples left, Jesus also departed and ministered for a time in Galilee (Matt. 11:1), and together they attracted a great
deal of attention. In fact, their work was even discussed in the highest levels
of government! Herod Antipas (Luke 3:1) was a son of Herod the Great and the
man who had John the Baptist killed (Matt. 14:1–12; Luke 3:19 –20).
混乱（7至9等节）。当门徒离开时，耶稣也同時离开在加利利工作一段时间（太11：1），他们大伙兒一同工作，引起了地方上人很大的关注。事实上，他们的工作甚至引起政府中最高官員的注意！希律安提帕（路3：1）是希律大帝的儿子，也是殺害施洗约翰者（太14：1-12; 路3：19-20）。
Who was this miracle
worker? John the Baptist had done no miracles (John 10:41 ), but that might change if he were raised
from the dead. The Jews expected Elijah to come, so perhaps the prophecy was
being fulfilled (see Mal. 4:5; Matt. 11:10 –14;
17:11 –13; Luke 1:17 ). Herod’s conscience was no doubt convicting
him, and he was wondering if perhaps God had sent John back to judge him.
谁行這神迹？
施洗约翰没有行過神迹（约10:41），但如果他是从死里复活的话，那就另當別論。犹太人预言以利亚会再来，所以也许这个预言正在驗證（见 太4：5;
Herod kept trying to see
Jesus, but Jesus, unlike some modern “religious celebrities,” did not make it a
point to go out of His way to mingle with the high and mighty. Jesus called the
evil king a “fox” and was not intimidated by his threats (Luke 13:31 –32). When Herod and Jesus did
finally meet, the king hoped to see a miracle, but the Son of God did nothing
and said nothing to him. Evil King Herod had silenced God’s voice to him (Luke
23:6–12).
希律一直试图要见耶稣，但不像现代的“宗教名人”，耶穌想法不与高贵有權的大人物交往。不，耶稣却称他是邪恶的国王, 別號為“狐狸”,
而不怕他的威胁（路13：31-32）。当希律和耶稣终于见面时，国王希望看神迹，但上帝的儿子却置之不理，也不对他说話。邪恶的希律王受上帝沉默對付（路23：6-12）。
The conclusion (vv. 10–11). The apostles returned
and gave a glowing report of their ministry, and Jesus suggested that they all
take some time off for rest (Mark 6:30–32). As the popular speaker Vance Havner used to say,
“If we don’t come apart and rest, we’ll just come apart.” Their mission of
preaching and healing had been demanding, and they all needed time alone for
physical and spiritual renewal. This is a good example for busy (and sometimes
overworked) Christian workers to imitate.
Attracted by the signs
Jesus was doing, the crowds would not leave Him alone, but followed Him from
the cities. When Jesus and the Twelve landed, the crowd was already there to
meet them, and Jesus had compassion on them and ministered to them (Matt. 14:13 –14). The Son of Man could not
even take a day off!
受到耶稣所行标記(signs)的吸引，眾人不会离开祂，而是緊跟随祂從城市离开。当耶稣和十二使徒到達时，眾人已经聚集在那里迎接他们，耶稣怜悯并服事他们（太14：13-14）。人子甚至不能得到一天暫時的休息！
2. Feeding
(9:12 –17)
2. 五千人吃飽（9：12-17）
Our Lord was not the kind of person who could teach
the Word and then say to hungry people, “Depart in peace, be ye warm and
filled” (James 2:16 ). The
disciples were only too eager to see the crowd leave (Luke 18:15 ; see Matt. 15:23 ). They had not yet caught the compassion of Christ
and the burden He had for the multitudes, but one day they would.
我们的主不像那种人教完聖經后，便对饥饿的群眾说，“平平安安地回去吧，祝你們得飽”（雅2:16）。门徒太希望人群的离去（路18:15; 见 太15:23）。他们还没學到主基督滿有憐憫的心，和祂对众人的熱忱，總有一天他们会如此做。
When you combine all four accounts of this miracle,
you find that Jesus first asked Philip where they could buy enough bread to
feed such a great crowd. (There could well have been ten thousand people
there.) He was only testing Philip, “for He Himself knew what He was intending
to do” (John 6:6 nasb). In the crisis hours of life, when your resources are
low and your responsibilities are great, it is good to remember that God
already has the problem solved;
当你把四福音對这神迹的所有記載綜合起来研讀时，会发现耶稣首先问腓利，他们到那裡可以購买足够的面包餵飽這群人。
（可能有一万人在那裡。）祂只是要試驗腓利，“因为祂已知道自己要怎么做”（约6：6新美國標準版）。在生命的危机时刻，当你缺乏资源，而责任又很重大时，最好想起上帝已經解決了這問題.
Jesus started with what they had, a few loaves and
fishes that were generously donated by a lad found by Andrew (John 6:8–9). Did
Andrew know the boy? Or did the boy offer his little lunch without being asked?
Before we ask God to do the impossible, let’s start with the possible and give
Him what we have. And while we are at it, let’s give thanks for mothers who
give their sons something to give to Jesus.
耶稣从他们所拥有的开始，安德烈發現有位小孩，願意把他有的午餐一塊面包和兩條小鱼慷慨解囊（约6：8-9）。是安德烈早知道这男孩吗？
还是男孩自願獻出他的小午餐？當我们懇求上帝做那不可能做到的事之前，让我们先考慮从可能做的先开始，例如先獻出我们所拥有的。
斯時，让我们先感谢母亲為儿子預備面包和鱼，好讓她們的兒子能有東西獻上給耶穌。
The Lord looked up to heaven, the source of our
daily bread (Matt. 6:11 ),
gave thanks, and blessed the food, and then He multiplied the few loaves and
fishes. Jesus was the “producer” and His disciples were the “distributors.” The
amazing thing is that everybody was served and satisfied, and there were twelve
baskets of leftovers, one for each of the disciples. Jesus takes good care of
His servants.
主把得來的每日的食物向天舉起（太6:11）， 獻上感谢，並祝福這食物; 然后祂行神跡倍增很少的五饼二鱼。耶稣是“生产者”，祂的门徒是“分發者”。令人惊讶的是，五千人都餵飽，且剩下十二篮，使徒們都各得一籃。耶稣真體諒祂的仆人。
This miracle was more
than an act of mercy for hungry people, though that was important. It was also
a sign of our Lord’s messiahship and an illustration of God’s gracious
provision for man’s salvation. The next day,
Jesus preached a sermon on “the bread of life” and urged the people to receive
Him just as they had received the bread (John 6:22 –59). But the people were more interested in their
stomachs than their souls, and completely missed the spiritual impact of the
miracle. Their desire was to make Jesus king so He could give them bread for
the rest of their lives (John 6:14 –15)!
After Jesus returned to heaven, the disciples must
often have been encouraged by remembering this miracle. It teaches us to have
compassion, to look on problems as opportunities for God to work, and to give
Him all that we have and trust Him to meet the needs. If we do all we can, He
will step in and do the rest. “Let God’s promises shine on your problems,” said
Corrie Ten
Boom, and that is good counsel for us.
當耶稣回到天堂之后，门徒必须经常想起五餅二魚的神迹，從它到激勵。因它教导我们要滿有憐憫心，把問題看作是上帝賜下的事奉机会，並且把我們所拥有的一切，都奉献给祂，相信祂能满足世人的需要。如果我们尽其所能，祂肯定会介入，來完成留下的未完事。科麗 . 登 . 朋(Corrie Ten
Boom)是從納粹集中營，死裡逃生的荷蘭女基督徒) ，她說，“讓上帝應許的光照在你的问题上，”這話对我们是好的勸告。
3. Teaching
(9:18 –36)
In Luke’s gospel, the feeding of the five thousand
marks the end of what is called the “Great Galilean Ministry” (Luke 4:14–:17).
Jesus now begins His journey to Jerusalem 9:51 ; 13:22 ; 17:11 ; 18:31 ;
19:11 , 28). This would be
a time of relative retirement with His disciples as He prepared them for what
lay ahead. There is a parallel between this account and the account in Acts of
Paul’s last journey to Jerusalem Nazareth Jerusalem Jerusalem Rome
在路加的福音書中，餵飽五千人的标記是所谓的“伽利利的偉大事工”的结束
（路4：14-17）。耶稣现在要开始祂到耶路撒冷的旅程（见
路 9:51; 13:22; 17:11; 18:31; 19:11，28）。这将是祂要離別门徒的时候，因为祂已为他們做好未来事工的准备。这事和在使徒行傳記載，保罗在第三次旅行后，要從耶路撒冷去羅馬有相似之处。在這兩卷书中，都有“两座城的故事”：在路加福音是从拿撒勒到耶路撒冷; 在使徒行传中，从耶路撒冷到罗马。
In this section, you see Jesus teaching them three basic
lessons about His person, His sacrifice, and His kingdom.
在这段經節中，你会看到耶稣教导们徒，有关于祂的個人，祂的捨命和祂的国度的三个基本的教導。
His person (vv. 18–21). If any of us asked our
friends what people were saying about us, it would be an evidence of pride, but
not so with Jesus Christ. People had better know who He is, because what we
think about Jesus determines our eternal destiny (John 8:24 ; 1 John 4:1–3). It is impossible to be wrong
about Jesus and right with God.
Jesus had prayed all night before choosing His
disciples (Luke 6:12 –13),
and now He prayed before asking for their personal confession of faith. The
crowd would have its opinions (see Luke 9:7–8), but His disciples must have
convictions. Peter was the spokesman for the group and gave a clear witness to
the deity of Jesus Christ. This was the second time that he confessed Christ
publicly (John 6:68–69). Except for Judas (John 6:70–71), all of the Twelve had
faith in Jesus Christ.
耶稣在选择门徒之前，祂整晚祷告（路6：12-13），祂現在要禱告之前，是在問他们个人对信心的承諾。群眾有他們的意见（见 路 9：7-8），但祂的门徒必须有堅信。彼得是他們的发言人，曾明确证實了耶稣基督的神性。这是他的第二次公开承认基督
（约6：68-69）。除了犹大（约6：70-71），十二个人都對耶稣基督有堅定信心。
Jesus commanded them (the word means “an order from
a military officer”) not to spread this truth openly. To begin with, the
message of His messiahship could not be divorced from the fact of His death and
resurrection, and He was now going to teach this to the Twelve. They had a
difficult time grasping this new lesson and did not really understand it until
after He was raised from the dead (Luke 24:44–48). The Jewish people saw Jesus
primarily as a healer and a potential deliverer. If the apostles began
preaching that He
was indeed the Messiah, it might cause a popular uprising against Rome
His sacrifice (vv.
22–26). Jesus had already given a number of “hints” about His sacrificial
death, but now He began to teach this truth clearly to His disciples. John the
Baptist had presented Him as the “Lamb of God” (John 1:29 ), and Jesus had predicted the “destruction”
of the temple of His body (John 2:19 ).
When He compared Himself to the serpent in the wilderness (John 3:14 ) and to Jonah (Matt. 12:38 –40), Jesus was making
statements about His suffering and death.
耶穌的受死（22至26等节）。祂已經提供许多祂上十字架受死的“暗示”，但现從在开始，祂要将这真理清楚地教導给祂的门徒。施洗约翰曾宣告耶穌是“上帝的羔羊”
（约1:29），而耶稣曾预言祂身体
--- 聖殿將要被“摧毁”（约2:19）。当祂将自己比喻為旷野中被舉起的蛇（约3:14）和约拿在魚肚腹三天的事时（太12：38-40），耶稣正在講祂的苦难和受死。
This is the first of
three statements in Luke about His coming passion in Jerusalem 9:43 –45; 18:31 –34).
It is clear that the Twelve did not understand, partly because of their
unbelief and immaturity, and partly because it was “hidden” from them by God.
Jesus taught them as they were able to receive the truth (John 16:12 ). It must have shocked the men
to hear that their own religious leaders would kill their Master.
这是路加記載耶穌在耶路撒冷，即将遇到的三件苦難的事中的第一件（路9：43-45; 18：31-34）。显然，十二使徒不明白，部分原因是他们的不信和不成熟，另外部分原因是上帝對他们把它“隐藏”了。耶稣認为們徒能够接受真理，所以才教导他们（约16:12）。人听到他们自己的宗教领袖会杀死他们的主时，那一定會感到震惊。
But Jesus did not stop
with a private announcement of His own death. He also made a public declaration
about a cross for every disciple. In his gospel, Matthew tells us that this was
necessary because of Peter’s desire to protect Jesus from suffering (Matt.
16:22ff.). Keep in mind that Jesus is talking about discipleship and not
sonship. We are not saved from our sins because we take up a cross and follow
Jesus, but because we trust the Savior who died on the cross for our sins.
After we become children of God, then we become disciples.
但是耶稣繼續私下的宣告祂自己的受死。祂还为祂的门徒公开的為每人預備了一个十字架。在馬太福音里，他告诉我们这是必要的，因为彼得希望耶稣不要走上十字架（太16：22多方比較）。请记住，耶稣在谈论门徒訓練而不是講子女的教育。因為我們背起自己的十字架来跟随耶稣，所以我们没有从罪中得救，但是,
因为相信为我们的罪死在十字架上的救主,
我们就成为上帝的儿女, 然后才能成为门徒。
The closest contemporary
word to “disciple” is probably “apprentice.” A disciple is more than a student
who learns lessons by means of lectures and books. He is one who learns by
living and working with his teacher in a daily “hands on” experience. Too many
Christians are content to be listeners who gain a lot of knowledge but who have
never put that knowledge into practice.
与“门徒”最接近的当代名词可能是“学徒”。门徒不仅仅是通过讲授和學習聖經书卷的学生。他每天還要“亲身体验”与老师在一起生活和工作。太多的基督徒只满足于是听众，使他们获得大量的知识，但他們从未把这些知识付诸实践。
In the Roman world, the
cross was a symbol of shame, guilt, suffering, and rejection. There could be no
more despicable way to die. Crucifixion was not mentioned in polite
conversation, and the people would no more think of wearing crosses on their
person than we would think of wearing gold or silver electric chairs. Jesus
laid down the stern requirements for discipleship. We must first say no to ourselves—not
simply to pleasures or possessions, but to self—and then take up our cross and
follow Christ daily. This means to be identified with Him in surrender,
suffering, and sacrifice. You cannot crucify yourself; you can only yield your
body (Rom. 12:1–2) and let God do the rest.
在罗马朝代，十字架是羞耻，内疚，痛苦和拒绝的記號。死刑可能不会再有比用這方法更卑鄙的。當時在礼貌的談话中,
從無人會提起钉十字架，人们不会想到在他们身上穿戴十字架, 比世人想象中穿戴着金色或银色电动椅的標誌更难。耶稣制定了门徒训练的严格要求。我们首先必须对自己说
“不”
- 不仅仅是为了享乐或财产，而是为了自我，然后背起我们的十字架，每天跟随基督。这意味着要与祂认同的委身，受苦和牺牲。你不能钉死自己在十字架上; 只能降服你的肉身（罗马书12：1-2），让上帝去做未完的事。
Of course, this kind of
life seems foolish to the world; but to the Christian, it is wisdom. To save
your life is to lose it, and how can you ever get it back again? But to give
your life to Christ is to save it and to live it in fullness. If a person owned
the whole world, he would still be too poor to buy back a lost life.
誠然，对世人来说, 如此的生活似乎是愚蠢。但对基督徒来说，却是智慧。凡要拯救生命的, 就必須失去它，你怎么能再次得回它呢？ 而是要将你的生命讓基督來拯救它，使它充满生命活力。如果人拥有了全世界，却仍然是太穷以致不能夠买回他失去的生命。
Discipleship is a daily
discipline: we follow Jesus a step at a time, a day at a time. A weary cleaning
woman said to a friend of mine, “The trouble with life is that it’s so daily!”
But she was wrong. One of the best things about life is that we can take it a
day at a time (Deut. 33:25).
门徒训练是經常的：跟随耶稣是一步步，一天天的。一位疲倦的清洁女工对我的朋友说,“每天都過一样的生活真烦惱！”但她错了。人生最美好的事情之一, 就是我们能夠每天享受主賜的生命（申命记33:25）。
Our motive should be to
glorify Christ. Anyone who is ashamed of Christ will never take up a cross and
follow Him. But if we are ashamed of Him now, He will be ashamed of us when He
comes again (Mark 8:38 ; 2
Tim. 2:11 –13) and we will
be ashamed before Him (1 John 2:28 ).
我们的动机应该是荣耀基督。任何以基督为耻的人都不会背起他的十字架跟随祂。但如果我们现在以耶穌為羞辱，当祂再来时，祂会以我们為耻（马可福音8:38;提后2：11-13），我们会在祂面前感到羞耻（约翰一书2:28）。
His kingdom (vv. 27–36).
As far as the gospel record is concerned, the Transfiguration was the only
occasion during Christ’s earthly ministry when He revealed the glory of His
person. Luke did not use the word transfigure, but he described the same scene
(Matt. 17:2; Mark 9:2). The word means “a change in appearance that comes from
within,” and it gives us the English word metamorphosis.
上帝的国度（27-36节）。就福音書的記載而言，耶穌变像是基督地上事工中唯一的一次揭示祂個人的荣耀。路加没有使用变像这字樣，但他描述了同样的场景（馬太福音17：2;马可福音9：2）。該词的意思是“来自内部的外观上的变形”，它相當我们英语单词
“变态”。
What were the reasons
behind this event? For one thing, it was God’s seal of approval to Peter’s
confession of faith that Jesus is the Son of God (John 1:14 ). It was also the Father’s way of
encouraging the Son as He began to make His way to Jerusalem 3:22 ) and
would speak again during that final week of the Son’s earthly ministry (John 12:23 –28). Beyond the suffering of
the cross would be the glory of the throne, a lesson that Peter emphasized in
his first epistle (1 Peter 4:12 —
5:4)
在这事背后的原因是什么？上帝对彼得所认定耶稣是上帝的儿子的信心是一回事（约翰福音1:14）。另外是当耶穌要開始走向耶路撒冷时，天父用這方式來鼓励祂的儿子。天父在耶穌受施洗約翰的洗禮中的讲話（路加福音3:22），并在祂儿子地上事工的最后一周期间再次說話（约翰福音12：23-28）。超越十字架的苦难是擁有王位的荣耀，这是在彼得前书信中所强调的教训（彼得前书4：12-5：4）
Our Lord’s own words in
Luke 9:27 indicate that the
event was a demonstration (or illustration) of the promised kingdom of God 1:12 –21).
我们主在路加福音9:27中祂自己的话中表明，这事是針对上帝国度應許的顯示（或闡明）。因为门徒對耶稣上十字架的與国度甚感困惑,
这事發生似乎是合乎逻辑的。
（我们不要对他们过於苛刻，因为先知们也感到困惑
- 彼得前书1：10-12）耶稣向他们保证旧约的预言肯定会应验，但首先祂必须受苦才能进入祂的荣耀（特别注意彼得后书1：12-21）。
But there is also a
practical lesson here, for we can have a spiritual “transfiguration” experience
each day as we walk with the Lord. Romans 12:1–2 and 2 Corinthians 3:18 tell us how. As we surrender
body, mind, and will, the Lord transforms us from within so that we are not
conformed to the world. As we behold Him in the Word (the mirror), we are
“transfigured” by the Spirit “from glory to glory.” The theological name for
this experience is sanctification, the process by which we become more like the
Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Father’s goal for each of His children (Rom. 8:19 ; 1 John 3:2). Note that our Lord
was once again praying, which suggests that prayer is one of the keys to a
transformed life.
但它還有实質的教训，因为当我们与主同行时，每天都會有属灵的“变像”的体验。罗马书12：1-2和哥林多后书3:18都告诉我们如何來經驗。当我们把肉身，心智和意志向祂臣服时，我们將被主從内部變像,
使我们不與世界認同。当我们在圣經（镜子）中看到祂时，我們就被圣灵以“从荣耀到荣耀”改变了形像。” 在神学上称它是
“成圣”，是我们变得更像主耶稣基督的一種过程，它是天父對祂的每个儿女的目标（罗马书8:19;约翰壹书3：2）。留意主的再一次祈祷，这祷告表明是生命改变的关键之一。
Peter, James, and John
had accompanied Jesus when He raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead (Luke
8:51ff.), and they would accompany Him when He prayed in the garden (Matt.
26:36–46). These three occasions remind me of Philippians 3:10: “That I may know
Him [the Transfiguration], and the power of His resurrection [raising the
girl], and the fellowship of His
sufferings [in the garden].”
当耶穌使睚鲁的女儿从死里复活时，彼得，雅各和约翰一直陪着祂（路加福音8：51）。当耶穌在客西馬尼园里祷告时，他们会陪伴祂（太26：36-46）。这三次的事件令我想起腓立比书3:10：“我或許认识耶穌[祂的变像]，祂复活的大能[使女孩復活]，以及[在花园里] 與門徒的痛苦的團契。”
This may well have been
the greatest “Bible conference” ever held on earth! Even apart from the great
glory that was involved, here you certainly had the greatest speakers: Moses,
the law; Elijah, the prophets; and Jesus, who came to fulfill the law and the
prophets. You had the greatest topic: Jesus’ “decease” (the Greek is exodus)
that He would accomplish at Jerusalem
“變像” 可能是在世上直至今日为止所举行的最伟大的 “圣经討論会”！甚至除了它與伟大荣耀有關以外，肯定在这里會遇到最偉大的討論者：摩西，律法的宣講者; 以利亚, 先知的代表; 和来完成律法和先知所為的耶稣。你將遇到最伟大的话题：耶稣的“受死” , 在耶路撒冷要成就這事（希腊語是 “脫離”）。摩西带领以色列人脱离埃及的捆綁，以利亚已经将他们从奴役中脫離出来,
却去敬拜假神，但是耶稣会走上十字架受死为了使他們脱離這罪恶的世界的犯罪和死亡的束縛（加拉太书1：4;歌羅西1:13;
希伯来2：14-15）。
And while all of this was
going on, the three privileged disciples were sleeping! (They would repeat this
failure in the garden.) Peter’s suggestion reminds us of the Jewish “Feast of
Booths” that in the Bible is related to the future kingdom (Lev. 23:33–44;
Zech. 14:16–21). Peter wanted Jesus to hold on to the glory apart from the
suffering, but this is not God’s plan.
当这事件全部發生之时，三位優越的门徒正在睡觉！
（他们可能在花园里會再次的睡覺。）彼得的建议建三座棚, 提醒我们在圣经中記載与犹太人有关的未来王国的“住棚節”(利未记23：33-44;
撒迦利亞14：16-21)
。彼得坚持不想要耶稣得到上十字架之荣耀，但这不是上帝的计划。
The Father interrupted
Peter by bathing the scene in a cloud of glory (Ex. 13:21 –22; 40:35, 38) and speaking out of the
cloud. (Peter would one day be interrupted by the Son [Matt. 17:24 –27] and by the Spirit [Acts 10:44 ].) These arresting words from
heaven remind us of Deuteronomy 18:15; Psalm 2:7; and Isaiah 42:1. When the
cloud was gone, Elijah and Moses were also gone.
天父在云中荣耀的出現（出埃及记13：21-22; 40：35,38），并从云中說話来阻撓彼得的想法。 （彼得或許有一天会被圣子[馬太福音17：24-27]和圣灵[使徒行传10:44]所阻撓。）这些来自天上的阻撓話語提醒我们在申命记18:15;
诗篇2：7;
和以赛亚书42：1所記載的。当云消失时，以利亚和摩西也走了。
As wonderful as these experiences are, they are not
the basis for a consistent Christian life. That can come only through the Word of God.
Experiences come and go, but the Word remains. Our recollection of past
experiences will fade, but God’s Word never changes. The farther we get from
these events, the less impact they make on our lives. That was why the Father
said, “Hear Him!” and why Peter made this same emphasis on the Word in his
report (2 Peter 1:12 –21).
Our own personal “transfiguration” comes from inner renewal (Rom. 3:18 ).
4.
Enduring
(9:37 –62)
“How long shall I stay
with you and put up with you?” (Luke 9:41
niv). You might expect that lament to come from an overworked kindergarten
teacher or an impatient army drill instructor, but it was made by the sinless
Son of God! We are prone to forget how long suffering our Lord had to be while
He was ministering on earth, especially with His own disciples.
“我要到底要與祢同在及忍耐多久？”（路加福音9:41新國際版）。你可能会期望这种悲叹来自一名劳累过度的幼儿园老师或一名急躁的军队操練教官，但它却是由上帝无罪的儿子所發出的！我们很容易忘记，当祂在地上作工的期间，特别是与祂的门徒一起受苦难时，我们的主受了多少的苦。
When you analyze this
section of Luke’s gospel, you can better understand why Jesus spoke those
words: He was grieved over the failures of His followers. He had given His
apostles authority over Satan, yet they were too weak to cast out a demon (Luke
9:37 –45). In feeding the
five thousand, Jesus gave them an example of compassion, yet they persisted in
manifesting selfishness and lack of love (Luke 9:46 –56). He taught clearly what it meant to follow Him,
yet the volunteers turned out to be “me first” disciples (Luke 9:57 –62). No wonder He was grieved! 当你分析这段路加福音的时候，你可以更好地理解耶稣为什么说这些话：他为他的追随者的失败感到悲伤。他曾将使徒的权柄交给撒但，但他们太弱，无法赶出恶魔（路加福音9：37-45）。在喂养五千人时，耶稣给了他们一个同情的例子，但他们坚持表现出自私和缺乏爱（路加福音9：46-56）。他清楚地教导了跟随他的意义，但志愿者转过身来成为“我第一”的门徒（路加福音9：57-62）。难怪他很伤心！
Lack of power (vv. 37–45). We dare not stay on the
glorious mountaintop when there are battles to fight in the valley below. Here
was another “only child” needing the help of the Lord (Luke 7:12 ; 8:42 ), and even more so because His own disciples had
failed. They had the power and the authority (Luke 9:1) but they did not have
the success. Why?
缺乏力量（第37-45）。当下面的山谷有战斗时，我们不敢呆在光荣的山顶上。这是另一个需要主帮助的“独生子”（路加福音7:12;
8:42），甚至更多，因为祂的门徒失败了。他们有权力和权柄（路加福音9：1），但他们没有成功。为什么？
When you study all three reports (Matt. 17; Mark 9),
you discover what was lacking in their lives. First on the list was faith(Matt.
17:19 –20); they were part
of an unbelieving generation and had lost the confidence that they needed in
order to use their power. But prayer and fasting were also lacking (Mark 9:29 ), which indicates that the nine
men had allowed their devotional disciplines to erode during their Lord’s brief
absence. No matter what spiritual gifts we may have, their exercise is never
automatic.
当你研究所有三份报告时（马太福音17;马可福音9），你会发现他们的生活中缺乏什么。名单上首先是信仰（太17：19-20）;他们是不信的一代人的一部分，失去了他们为了使用自己的力量而需要的信心。但是祷告和禁食也是缺乏的（马可福音9:29），这表明这九个人在主暂时缺席期间允许他们的奉爱训练腐蚀。无论我们有什么属灵恩赐，他们的锻炼永远不会自动进行。
The devil tried one last throw (a wrestling term in
the Greek), but Jesus rebuked the demon and cast him out. The Lord lovingly
gave the boy back to his father (see Luke 7:15 ) and then took the Twelve aside for another lesson
about the cross. After all, it was at the cross that Jesus would give Satan
that final blow of defeat (John 12:31 –32;
Col. 2:15).
魔鬼尝试了最后一步（希腊语中的摔跤术语），但是耶稣斥责恶魔并将他赶出去。主慈爱地把这男孩交给他的父亲（参路加福音7:15），然后把十二人带到一旁，再次接受有关十字架的教训。毕竟，在十字架上，耶稣会给撒旦最后的失败打击（约翰福音12：31-32;西2:15）。
In His kingdom, the example of greatness is a little
child—helpless, dependent, without status, living by faith. The only thing
worse than a child trying to act like an adult is an adult acting like a child!
There is a great difference between being childlike and childish (see 1 Cor.
13:4–5; 14:20 )!
在祂的国度里，伟大的榜样是一个小孩无助，依赖，没有地位，靠信心生活。唯一比一个试图像一个成年人那样行事的孩子更糟的是成年人像一个小孩一样行事！孩童气和幼稚之间有很大的区别（参林前13：4-5;
14:20）！
Lack of love (vv. 46–56). The disciples did not have
much love for each other, or they would not have argued over who was the
greatest (Luke 9:46 –48).
Perhaps this debate started because of envy (three of the disciples had been
with Jesus on the mount), or because of pride (the other nine had failed to
cast out the demon). Also, just before this, Jesus had paid Peter’s temple tax
for him (Matt. 17:24 –27),
and this may have aroused some envy.
缺乏爱（第46-56节）。门徒彼此没有太多的爱，或者他们不会争论谁是最伟大的（路加福音9：46-48）。也许这场辩论是因为嫉妒而开始的（其中三名门徒与耶稣一起在山上），或者因为骄傲（其他九人未能驱逐恶魔）。此外，在此之前，耶稣已经为他支付了彼得的圣殿税（太17：24-27），这可能引起了一些嫉妒。
They also showed a lack of love for believers
outside their own group (Luke 9:49 –50).
This is what we would expect from a “son of thunder” (Mark 3:17 )! Perhaps John was trying to impress Jesus
with his zeal for protecting His name, but the Lord was not impressed.
Believers who think that their group is the only group God recognizes and
blesses are in for a shock when they get to heaven.
他们也表现出对自己团体以外的信徒缺乏爱（路加福音9：49-50）。这就是我们所期望的“雷声之子”（马可福音3:17）！也许约翰试图用保护祂的名字的热情来打动耶稣，但主并没有留下深刻的印象。认为他们的团体是上帝认可和祝福的唯一团体的信徒们在上天时会感到震惊。
Nor did the apostles love their enemies (Luke 9:51 –56). James and John had seen the
prophet Elijah on the mount, so they thought they might imitate him and call
down fire from heaven (2 Kings 1)! The Samaritans and Jews had been enemies for
centuries (2 Kings 17:24 –41),
so it was understandable that this village would reject Jesus as He traveled
toward Jerusalem 5:37 –48).
Later, Samaria
Lack of discipline (vv. 57–62). Three men could have
become disciples, but they would not meet the conditions that Jesus laid down.
The first man was a scribe (Matt. 8:19 )
who volunteered to go until he heard the cost: he had to deny himself.
Apparently he was accustomed to a comfortable home.
缺乏纪律（第57-62节）。三个人可以成为门徒，但他们不符合耶稣所定下的条件。第一个人是一位文士（马太福音8:19），他自愿去了，直到他听到了这个代价：他不得不否认自己。显然他习惯于一个舒适的家。
The second man was called by Jesus (what an honor!),
but he was rejected because he would not take up the cross and die to self. He
was worried about somebody else’s funeral when he should have been planning his
own! Jesus is not suggesting here that we dishonor our parents, but only that
we not permit our love for family to weaken our love for the Lord. We should
love Christ so much that our love for family would look like hatred in
comparison (Luke 14:26 ).
第二个人被耶稣召唤了（真是一种荣耀！），但他被拒绝了，因为他不会拿起十字架而死于自我。当他计划自己的时候，他担心别人的葬礼！耶稣在这里并不是暗示我们侮辱我们的父母，而只是说我们不允许我们对家庭的爱减弱我们对主的爱。我们应该非常爱基督，以致我们对家庭的爱如同仇恨（路加福音14:26）。
The third man also volunteered, but he could not
follow Christ because he was looking back instead of ahead. There is nothing
wrong with a loving farewell (1 Kings 19:19 –21),
but if it gets in the way of obedience, it becomes sin. Jesus saw that this
man’s heart was not wholly with Him, but that he would be plowing and looking
back (see Gen. 19:17, 26; Phi. 3:13 –14).
第三个人也自愿参加，但他不能跟随基督，因为他回头看，而不是前进。爱的告别没有什么不妥（王上19：19-21），但如果它顺从的话，就成了罪。耶稣看到这个人的心不是与他完全在一起，而是他会翻身回头（见创19:17,26;披3：13-14）。
No wonder the laborers are few (Luke 10:2)!
难怪劳动者很少（路加福音10：2）！
It would appear that what Jesus taught His disciples
and the multitudes had done them little good. They lacked power, love, and
discipline, and they grieved His heart. If we today lack these spiritual
essentials, we can never truly be His disciples, but they are available to us
from the Lord. “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power, of
love and of self-discipline” (2 Tim. 1:7 niv).
看起来，耶稣教导祂的门徒和众人对他们並没有什么好处。他们缺乏能力，爱心和訓練，他们只為自己的心憂傷。如果今天我們缺乏能力，爱心和訓練这些屬靈的要素，就永远不可能成为祂的真正门徒，但是我們可以从主那里得到這些。 “因为上帝没有賜给我们胆怯的靈命，而是能力，爱心和自律”（提后1：7）。
Are we a joy to Jesus Christ, or are we breaking His
heart?
我们是耶稣基督的喜乐，或是刺痛祂心的人？
