16754 英翻中(马太福音第八篇作忠心仆人) The King's Ambassadors 王的大使 9/13/2026
第八篇 马太福音10章 王的大使
The work of salvation can only be accomplished by Jesus Christ alone. But the witnesses to this redemption must be those who have been redeemed by Him and trust in Him. The King needs ambassadors to deliver His message—He still needs them. "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" (Isaiah 6:8). It is not enough to merely pray for the needs of the workers (Matthew 9:36-38). We must also commit ourselves to Jesus to serve Him.
救恩的工作只能由耶稣基督独自来完成。但做这救赎的见证人, 必须由那些而曾经被祂救赎而信靠祂的子民去做。王需要大使传递祂的信息 — 祂仍然需要他们。 “我可以差遣谁呢?，谁肯为我们去呢？“（赛6：8）。我们光为工人的需要祈祷, 这还不够（太 9：36-38）。还必须把自己委身于耶稣来事奉祂。
Before Jesus sending His ambassadors out to minister, He preached an "ordination sermon." to encourage and prepare them. In this sermon, the King had something to all of all of His servants — past, present, and future. Unless we recognize this fact, the message of this chapter will seem hopelessly confused .
耶稣在差遣祂的大使出去事奉之前，祂对他们行 “圣职任命的讲道” 来鼓励和准备他们。在这篇讲道中，包括王所有仆人的过去，现在和将来的事。除非了解这些事实，否则我们对本章的信息会显得无望地混淆了。
Instructions for Past Apostles (10:1-15)
对过去使徒的指示（10：1-15）
A "Disciple" is a learner, one who follows a teacher and learns his wisdom. Jesus had many disciples; some were merely "hanger on," while others truly repented (John 6:66). From this large group of followers, Jesus chose a small group of twelve, calling them "apostles." This comes from the Greek word "apostello," meaning "a messenger with a mission." The Greeks used this term for a king's representative, an ambassador, possessing the king's authority. An ambassador to illuminate the king's path, preventing him from facing dangers of uncertainty.
“门徒”是学徒，跟随老师学会祂的智能的人。耶稣有许多门徒，有些门徒只是 “吊在那
里”，有些人才是真正悔改（约 6:66）。从追随的人群中，耶稣选择十二个很小的一群人，称他们为 “使徒”。它来自希腊语的 “apostello”，意思是 “带使命的遣送者。” 被希腊人用着为国王的代表，是大使, 他具有国王的权威。为了国王照亮他前面道路的大使, 使国王不至面临前面不清楚的情况的危险。
A man had to meet certain qualifications to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. He must have seen the resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:1) and fellowship with Him (Acts 1:21-22). He had be chosen by the Lord (Ephesians 4:11). The apostle laid the foundation of the church before becoming an apostle (Ephesians 2:20) and passed from the scene. While all believers sent forth to represent the King (John 17:18; 20:21), no believer today can honestly claim to be an apostle, for none of has seen the risen Christ (1 Peter 1:8).
人必须符合耶稣基督所拣选的资格才行。他一定要见过基督的复活（林前9：1）并且与祂有交通（徒1：21-22）。他必须被主所选择（弗 4:11）。使徒奠定了教会的基础后, 才能成为使徒（弗 2:20）且通儀式。一切信徒都代表王（约17:18; 20:21），在今天的信徒中, 诚实地说, 没有可以声称为使徒的, 因为都没有见过复活的基督（彼前 1：8）。
These apostle were given special power and authority from Christ to perform miracles. These miracles were part of their "official credentials" (Acts 2:43; 5:12; 2; Colossians 12:12; Hebrews 2:1-4). They healed the sick (note: including all kinds of diseases), cleansed lepers, cast out demons, and even raised the dead. These four types of miracles are on par with the work Jesus performed in Matthew chapters 8 and 9; the apostles represented the King and expanded His work.
基督赐予这些使徒祂特殊的权力及权柄来行神迹。这些神迹是他们对世人 “身份证明”的一部分（徒 2:43; 5:12; 2 ; 西 12:12; 来 2：1-4）。他们医病（注意 : 包括各种疾病），使麻风病人洁净，赶走鬼魔，甚至使死人复活。这四类神迹与耶稣在马太福音8章和第9章中所行出来的事工并驾齐驱，使徒代表王, 并扩展祂的事工。
使徒们从这城到那城的传道, 他们靠着当地人的热情款待。在那时代里，若拒绝招待亥文客人是违反礼仪。然而，大使们只留在那些信靠基督并接受祂的平安和宽恕信息的“值得”的家里。使徒们不妥协。如果那城镇拒绝他们的话，他们并以离开来警告那城镇的人。甩掉脚上的尘埃是一种审判的行为（徒13:51）.
Christ's appointment of these twelve apostles was unlike what we do for them today. Jesus sent them only to the Israelites. "First the Jews"—this was a historical tradition. "The Jews were saved first" (John 4:22). These twelve ambassadors announced the King's arrival, just as John the Baptist did (Matthew 3:2) and Jesus Himself did (Matthew 4:17). Unfortunately, the nation of Israel rejected Christ and His ambassadors, and therefore, the King took the kingdom from Israel, from them (Matthew 21:43).
基督对这十二使徒的任命, 不像今天对我们所做的。耶稣只把他们送到以色列人那里。 “最先是犹太人” 这是历史性的传统 “先拯救的是犹太人”（约 4:22）。这十二位大使宣布了王的到来, 正如施洗约翰所做的（太 3：2）和耶稣祂自己所行的（太4:17）。不幸的是，以色列国拒绝了基督和祂的使者，因此, 王从以色列国, 他们身上拿走了这国度（太 21:43）.
The apostles preached from town to town, relying on the hospitality of the locals. In those days, refusing to host a guest from Hadrian was a breach of etiquette. However, the ambassadors only stayed in the homes of those "worthy" who trusted in Christ and accepted His message of peace and forgiveness. The apostles did not compromise. If a town rejected them, they warned its inhabitants by leaving. Shaking off the dust from one's feet was an act of judgment (Acts 13:51).
使徒们从这城到那城的传道, 他们靠着当地人的热情款待。在那时代里，若拒绝招待亥文客人是违反礼仪。然而，大使们只留在那些信靠基督并接受祂的平安和宽恕信息的“值得”的家里。使徒们不妥协。如果那城镇拒绝他们的话，他们并以离开来警告那城镇的人。甩掉脚上的尘埃是一种审判的行为（徒13:51）.
We do not know how long this "evangelistic movement" will last. Jesus himself went out to preach (see Matthew 11:1), and later the apostles returned and reported to Him what had happened (Luke 9:10). Mark 6:7 records that Jesus had sent these people out in pairs, which is why their names are written in pairs in Matthew 10:2-4. Revelation 21:14 records that the names of these apostles will be written on the foundation of the wall in heaven. Of course, Judas's name will be replaced by Matthias (Acts 1:26）。
我 们不知道这 “传福音运动” 会持续有多久。耶稣自己出去传道（见 太11：1），后来使徒们回来了, 向祂报道所发生的事（路 9:10）。马可福音6章7节记载，耶稣已经把这些人成对的差遣出去, 这就是马太福音中10章2至4节为什幺把他们成对写出他们的名字。启示录21章14节记载这些使徒的名字将书写在天上墙壁的基础上。当然，犹大的名字将被替换为马提亚斯（使1:26）。
We may learn spiritual principles from this passage, but we should not apply them in our lives. The Lord has given us a mission for “the whole world” (Matthew 28:19-20), not just the nation of Israel. We are preaching the gospel of God’s grace (Acts 20:24). It is the message of “Christ died for our sins,” not “the kingdom of heaven is before us.” The King has come; He has been wounded, died, and risen from the dead. Now the King offers salvation to all who are willing to believe in Him.
我们或许可从本段中学习属灵原则，但我们不应该在我们的生活中把它们放进来应用。主交代我们的使命是 “整个的世界“（太 28：19-20），而不仅仅是以色列一个国家。我们传讲的是上帝恩典的福音（徒 20:24）。是 “基督为我们的罪而死” 的信息，并不是 “天国就在眼前。” 王已经来到; 祂已经受伤，死亡，并从死里复活。现在王向所有愿意相信祂的人提供救恩。
Instructions to the Future Disciples (10:16-23)
对将来门徒的指示（10：16-23）
The “atmosphere” in this verse is somewhat different from that described in the previous passage. Here, the Lord speaks of persecution, but we do not record the painful persecution the twelve suffered during their journey. Jesus also speaks of their ministry to the Gentiles (Matthew 10:18). The Holy Spirit was not given, yet Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit to them (Matthew 10:20). While Matthew 10:22 seems to indicate persecution throughout the world, the apostles only served in their own country. Finally, Matthew 10:23 speaks of the Lord's second coming, which will certainly push these events into the future. It's not easy to avoid these revelations and conclusions that apply to witnessing at some point in the future.
本节的 “气氛” 与上段中所述有些不同。在这里，主谈到迫害，但我们没有记录十二人在他们的旅行中遭受的痛苦迫害。耶稣也谈到他们对外邦人的事工（太 10:18）。圣灵没有赐下，但耶稣却对他们谈到圣灵（ 太 10:20）。在马太福音10章22节似乎表明了世界各地的迫害，然而, 使徒们只在他们自己的国土上服事。最后，马太福音10章23节讲述了主的再来，肯定会将这些事件推向未来。很不容易从这些启示, 适用于将来某时间去作见证的结论中避开。
But when? To some extent, some of these events occurred during the period of the Book of Acts; but Jesus Christ had not yet returned at that time. The ministry in the Book of Acts was not limited to “the cities of the nation of Israel” (Matthew 10:23). It seems that the period described in this verse bears a very close resemblance to the period of tribulation described by Jesus in His “Sermon on the Mount of Olives” (Matthew 24-25). In fact, the sermon stating that “whoever endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10:13) is absolutely part of our Lord’s prophecy (Matthew 24:13; Mark 13:13). It does not refer to salvation by oneself, but to those who remain faithful despite enduring considerable persecution.
但是, 在什么时候？某种程度上，其中一些事件发生, 会在使徒行传时段中; 但耶稣基督在那时还没有再来。使徒行传中的事工不仅仅限于 “以色列国的各城市”（太 10:23）. 看来本节所描述的时期, 与耶稣所描述的灾难时期非常密切的相似, 祂的 “橄榄山讲章”（太 24-25章）。事实上，讲道说明 “忍受到底的，必然得救“（太 10:13）绝对是我们的主预言的一部分（太 24:13; 可 13:13）。它并不是指人靠自己得救，而是指经历相当持久的迫害却仍信实的人。
So, if these statements apply to the future period of tribulation, we can easily understand why Jesus said that so much hatred and persecution would occur. The period of tribulation would be a time of hostility. God’s servants would be like sheep among wolves. They need to be “firm in thought, but gentle in heart.” This will come from organized religion (Matthew 10:17), governments (Matthew 10:18), and even from within the family (Matthew 10:21).
那幺，如果这些说明, 适用于未来在灾难期，我们可以很容易地理解为什幺耶稣会说, 有这么多的仇恨和迫害发生。苦难期将是敌对的时期。上帝的仆人就像狼群中的绵羊。他们需要 “在思想上要坚定，但心地要温柔。” 将来自有组织的宗教 (太 10:17), 政府(太 10:18), 及甚至出于家庭(太 10:21)的敌对.
The fact that believers scattered throughout the world today have experienced persecution shows that this hostility will be global. “Religion” has always persecuted true believers. Even the Apostle Paul, when he was Saul of Tarsus, before his conversion, persecuted the church. Church history reveals that “organized religions” without the Gospel have been hostile to those who dared to boldly witness for Christ.
今天散布于世界各地的信徒都有经过迫害的经验，这表明敌对将是全世界的。“宗教”一直在迫害真正的信徒。甚至使徒保罗, 当他还是大数的扫罗, 未转变为保罗的时候, 他也迫害教会。教会历史曾揭示没有福音的 “有组织的宗教” , 曾对敢于大胆为基督作见证的人为敌。
Matthew 10:18 speaks of governments also participating in this persecution. The prophetic Bible says that in the last days, governments and religions will work together to control the world. Revelation 13 describes the ruler of the world during the tribulations (the Antichrist) who will force people to worship him and his image. He will control the world’s religions, economy, and governments; and use these three to persecute those who uphold the truth of the Christian faith.
马太福音10章18节说到, 政府也会参与该迫害计划。预言的圣经说，在末后的日子里，政府和宗教将共同努力控制世界。启示录13章描述在灾难期间世界的统治者（敌基督）, 将强迫世人崇拜他和他的形象。他会控制全世界宗教，经济, 和政府; 且利用这三者来迫害那些坚持基督信仰真理的人.
Family love and mutual trust will also decline as a result. "No natural affection" is one of the signs of the end times (2 Timothy 3:3). Jesus cites Micah 7:6 to demonstrate this (Matthew 10:21). Institutions such as the family, human government, and the church are what God established for the world. In the end times, all three institutions will replace their promotion with hostile truth.
家庭之爱和互信也将因此衰退。“没有天然的感情” 是末日的象征之一（提后3：3）。耶稣引用弥迦书7章6节来证明这一点（太10:21）。家，人的政府, 和教会等机构是上帝为世界所建立的。在末世，所有这三个机构都会以敌对真理来代替对它的推展。
The Great Tribulation will be a time of opposition and opportunity, but also a necessary one. The King's ambassadors must "endure to the end," faithfully and faithfully carrying out their ministry, even at the cost of their lives. Despite being scourged, rejected by their families, persecuted from city to city, and judged before their leaders, God's servants must remain faithful to their Lord. Their testimony will be used by God to win over others. Revelation 7:1-8 records 144,000 Jewish witnesses who will spread God's word throughout the world during the Great Tribulation, and thus many will come to Christ (Comparative Study of Revelation 7:9).
大灾难将成为反对和转机的时代，但也是必经的时代。王的大使们必须 “忍受到底” 忠心信实地执行他们的事工，即使牺牲了生命。尽管受到鞭打，家庭拒绝他们，从一个城到另一个城的迫害，以及在领导者前的审判，上帝仆人必须忠于他们的主。他们的见证将被上帝用来赢得别人。启示录7章1至8节记载 144,000名犹太证人, 在大灾难期间，将在全世界传播上帝的话, 因而, 有很多人会来到基督面前（启7：9比较研读）。
Undoubtedly, these words in Matthew 10 make witnesses extremely precious and meaningful during this time. We can even learn something from these words today, although their primary interpretation and application are for God's future servants. No matter how difficult our circumstances, we can use adversity as a testament to our resilience. We can trust that God's Spirit will help us remember what the Lord has taught us (John 14:26). Instead of fleeing and seeking easier places to serve, we can "endure to the end," knowing that God will help us through this hardship.
毫无疑问，马太福音10章中的这些话, 使证人在此期间，成为非常珍贵和有意义。今天我们甚至可以从这些词语中学习一点, 虽然他们的主要解释和应用是为了将来上帝的仆人。无论我们在多幺艰难的情况，我们都可以使敌对的情况成为转机来作见证。我们可以相信上帝的灵会帮助我们记住主所教导我们的（约 14:26）。而不是逃离和寻找更容易的地方去事奉，我们可以 “忍耐到底”，知道上帝会帮助我们渡过这苦难。
Teachings for Disciples Today (10:24-42)
While the truths in this passage apply to God's servants in any period of biblical history, they seem to have special significance for the church today. The emphasis is on “Do not be afraid!” (Matthew 10:26, 28, 31). The particular fear discussed regarding Christ in Matthew 10:32-33 is the fear of openly confessing Christ before men. God has no “secret ministry.” Openly confessing faith in Christ is the true evidence of salvation (Romans 10:9-10). Several reasons can show why we can be fearless in openly confessing Christ. Let us look at these reasons as recorded in Matthew chapter 10.
Suffering is to be expected (verses 24-25, etc.). When Jesus Christ ministered on earth, they persecuted Him; why should we expect any different treatment? We are His disciples, and disciples cannot “outshine” their teacher. They say Jesus is allied with Satan (Beelzebub: the devil), so they would say the same to Jesus' followers. Indeed, we should consider it a great honor to be with Jesus and to suffer with Him (Acts 5:41; Philippians 3:10).

让事物和亲属离去，
凡人的生活也离去;
他们可能杀死身体：
上帝的真理却相伴
祂的国度是永恒的.
只敬畏上帝的人, 永远不必害怕任何人或一群人. 敬畏上帝就是以敬畏来消灭恐惧。
上帝关心祂自己的孩子（29至31等节）。在市场上麻雀是不值钱的。如果将这些经文与路加福音12章6节比较，会发现麻雀是这样的便宜，商人甚至于会多给一只！然而父亲关心麻雀, 祂知道牠什幺时候会掉到地上，祂等在那里。如果上帝如此奇妙的关心麻雀，祂能不关心事奉祂的自己的人吗？祂当然会！在上帝眼中我们比许多麻雀更有价值。
上帝关心我们生活中的所有细节。甚至我们的头发祂都数过, 而不是“计算”总数，但每根都数！上帝看到麻雀掉在地上，上帝看到头发的从祂的孩子的头上什幺时候掉下。什幺时候上帝保护祂自己的人，甚至祂保护他们到数他们的每根头发（路 21:18）。
当上帝如此无微不至的照顾我们, 敬畏上帝的人, 没有必要恐惧.
基督尊重那些表白相信祂的人（32至33等节）。心里认耶稣远远超过用嘴唇声称。它也意味着用生命来支持这种认定。口说 “耶稣基督是主，” 是一回事，委身于耶稣, 并顺服祂的旨意是另一回事。与耶稣同行和交谈必须要在一起。
在天堂，耶稣有两类特别的事工。作为大祭司，祂赐给我们恩典，使我们免于犯罪。作为保惠师，祂在我们实在犯罪后, 饶恕并重建我们（约壹 2：1-2）。基督为我们在天上的代求事工的恩典不是取决于我们的忠信，因为即使我们不忠，祂也是信实的（提后 2：12-13）。但是，基督在天上的事工的好处是对那些忠于祂的人。当基督在天父面前承认我们，祂正在确保赐予我们, 祂要在上十字架上受死的恩惠。当基督在天父面前不认我们时，祂无法与我们分享这些恩惠。错在我们，不在祂。
但有些其它的事情也涉及。有一天我们会站在耶稣的审判台前，祂会在哪里分发奖赏（林后 5:10; 罗14:10）。如果我们不认祂，我们将失去奖赏, 且听不到祂说, “做得好,” 的喜乐。 可以肯定的，任何在地上不认基督的人，祂可能会被宽恕他,。彼得否认了主三次，祂原谅并重建他。
我们无法摆脱冲突（34至39等节）。一旦我们已经与耶稣基督认同并相信祂，我们是站在祂一边作争战。我们没有开战; 上帝向撒旦宣战（创 3:15）。在我们的主出生的夜晚，天使宣告，“在地上有平安”（路 2:14）。但是， 耶稣似乎否认了这真理。 “耶稣来不是带来和平，而是刀剑“（太 10:34）。如果以色列接受了耶稣，祂就会赐给他们和平。但是人拒绝了耶稣，结果是 “刀剑。” 而不是“地上的和平” 但是在 “天上有平安”（路 19:38）。耶稣通过祂的钉十字架和流宝血带来和平（西 1:20）, 因此世人可以与上帝和好, 并且彼此和谐。
信徒唯一能避免冲突的方法是否认基督, 并且把他的见证与其妥协，而这些将是罪。那幺信徒就会与上帝并与他自己交战。我们甚至会被与我们最亲近的人误解及迫害，然而, 我们绝不能让这些使我们的见证妥协。我们为耶稣和正义的缘故受苦，而不是因为我们自己难以忍受。 在 “抵挡十字架”（加5:11）和抵挡的基督徒之间是有差异的。
每位信徒都必须只能做出惟一的决定, 一切都要以爱基督为首要, 并且都要背起自己的十字架跟随基督。在马太福音10章37节所讲的爱就是在马太福音10章38节中所讲的 钉十字架的动机。 “背起十字架” 并不是在西装翻领上别上十字架的别针, 或在我们汽车后挡板上贴上十字架的贴纸。十字架的意义是无视它的羞耻和痛苦，总要承认基督, 也要顺服他。它的意思是每天否认自我。如果主去到十字架是为我们，我们至少可以做到的为祂要背起自己的十字架。
马太福音10章39节只给了我们两个选择：存留你的生命或牺牲你的生命。没有中间地带。如果我们为保护自己的利益，我们会是输家; 如果我们为了否认自我而死，而为了承认耶稣的名而活，我们将成为赢家。因为在这世界, 属灵的冲突是不可避免的，为什幺不为自己去死，而让基督为我们和在我们里面, 赢得胜利？毕竟，真正的战争在于 --- 自私与牺牲。
我们可以成为别人的祝福（40至42等节）. 不是每个人都会拒绝我们的见证。有些人将欢迎我们, 并获得祝福。毕竟，我们是国王的大使！我们的国王会看到他们因为他们所做的而得到回报。什幺时候人们接待我们，他们欢迎国王，因为我们是祂的代表。阅读撒下第 10章, 这就是一个例子, 当人们虐待王的使节时, 将会发生什幺事.
然而，祝福不是自动的。这一切取决于主人的态度。如果他接待了大使, 那作为先知的人（上帝的发言人），然后他会得到奖赏; 如果他只接待他作为正直的人，那幺, 将有另一种奖励。带着正确的属灵的灵性, 即使施舍的是一杯冷水，也会带来它自己的奖励。
请记住，最后一节的主题是门徒训练，而不是子对父关系。我们成为了上帝的孩子是通过对基督的信仰，我们成了门徒是因为忠心地跟随祂并遵守祂的旨意。当我们与基督同行时, 子对父关系是不会改变，但门徒训练确实随着我们与基督同行而会改变。在今天非常需要忠心的门徒，他们将从基督那里学习并为祂而活。
这带给我们结束马太福音第一个主要部门的启示 --- 国王的启示。我们已经看到祂的人性（太1-4），祂的原则（太5-7），和祂的大能（太8-10）。 以色列国将怎幺样回应这启示？
