16758英翻中(馬太福音13章-王的秘密 II) The Outcome of the Kingdom 属天国度的实现 5/10/2026
3. 属天国度的实现（13：44-50）
3. The Realization of the Heavenly Kingdom (13:44-50)
In the last days, God has three nations: the Jews (the hidden treasure), the church (the pearl), and the Gentile nations who will be saved and enter the Kingdom of Heaven (the trawl net).
在末世，上帝有三种民族：犹太人（隐藏的宝藏），教会（珍珠），和将进入天国的被拯救的外邦民族（拖网）。
The Hidden Treasure (verse 44). The common interpretation of this parable is that the sinner finds Christ and gives up everything he has to gain Him and be saved. But this interpretation has some problems. First, Jesus Christ is not a hidden treasure. He is perhaps the most famous historical figure. Second, the sinner cannot “find Christ” because he is blind and hardened-hearted (Romans 3:10, cf.). It is the Savior who seeks the lost sinner (Luke 19:10). No sinner can buy salvation! Note that the man in the parable did not buy a treasure; he bought the entire field. “This field is the world” (Matthew 13:38). Must the lost sinner first buy the world to gain Christ? And has He hidden Him?
隐藏的宝物（第44节）。这个比喻的一般解释是罪人找到基督, 并放弃他所拥有的一切, 来获得祂和得到拯救。但这种解释有些问题。首先，耶稣基督不是隐藏的宝藏。祂也许是最著名的历史人物。第二，罪人不能“找到基督”，因为他是瞎子和硬心的（罗 3：10 比照研读）。是救主去找那失丧的罪人（路 19:10）。没有罪人可以购买救恩！请注意，比喻中的人没有购买宝物; 他购买了整个田地。 “这田地就是世界”（太 13:38）。失丧的罪人必须先购买世界才能得到基督吗？他又把祂隐藏了吗？
The symbolism of the Old Testament once again helps us interpret this. The treasure represents the nation of Israel (Exodus 19:5; Psalm 135:4). That nation was placed in the world to glorify God, but it failed. It became a hidden nation; the treasure was not invested in production to earn dividends for God. Jesus Christ offered all that He had to buy the whole world in order to save all nations (John 11:51). On the cross, Jesus died for the whole world, but in a special way for the nation of Israel (Isaiah 53:8). Even though the nation suffers judgment and seems destroyed, in God's eyes it is "hidden" and will be revealed again in glory.
旧约的象征性再一次帮助了我们来解释它。宝藏代表以色列国（出 19：5; 诗 135：4）。那个国家被安置在这世界为的是荣耀上帝，但却失败了。它变成了隐藏的国家，宝藏没有投资生产为上帝赚取红利。耶稣基督献上祂所有, 来购买全世界, 为的是拯救所有的国家（约 11:51）。在十字架上，耶稣为全世界而死，但以特殊的方式为以色列国而死（赛53：8）。即使该国家遭受审判，看似毁灭，但是在上帝的眼中，它是“隐藏的”，并将再次在荣耀里被揭示。
Therefore, the nation of Israel has a future. Politically, the nation of Israel reappeared on May 14, 1948. But a nation is far more than it should be spiritually manifested. God sees Israel as His treasure, and one day He will rebuild her, making her a glorious nation.
那幺，以色列国就有了未来。在政治上，以色列国在1948年5月14日重现。但是国家是远非它在属灵上应该表显的。上帝看见以色列作为祂的财宝，有一天祂会重建她, 在她里面成为光荣的国度。
The Priceless Pearl (verses 45-46). A well-known gospel hymn has long interpreted this parable, the pearl representing Jesus Christ and His salvation. However, the same objections to previous parables also apply to this one. Sinners cannot find Christ; it is Christ who seeks sinners. No sinner can afford the price of salvation, even if he sells everything he owns.
高价的珍珠（45-46节）。一个众所周知的福音歌, 长久解释这比喻, 这珍珠是耶稣基督和祂的救恩。但是, 同样的对以前的比喻的反对意见, 也适用于这比喻。罪人找不到基督; 是基督去寻找罪人。没有罪人可以付得起救恩的代价，即使他卖掉了他所拥有的一切。
The pearl represents the church. The distinction between Jews, Gentiles, and the church is clearly analyzed in the Bible (1 Corinthians 10:32). Today, the church—the body of Christ—is composed of Jews and Gentiles who believe in Him (Ephesians 2:2:11, cf.). Unlike most other gemstones, the pearl is a strong bond—it cannot be carved like a diamond or emerald. The church is a unified body (Ephesians 4:4-6), even if the earthly self-proclaimed church is divided. Like the pearl, the church is a product of suffering. Christ's death for the church (Ephesians 5:25) and His suffering on the cross gave birth to her.
珍珠代表教会。对犹太人，外邦人和教会之间的区别, 圣经分析得很清楚（林前 10:32）。今日，教会 --- 基督的身体，是由相信祂的犹太人和外邦人组成（弗 2：2:11比照研读）。与大多数其它宝石不同，珍珠是坚固的结合 --- 它不像钻石或翡翠一样可以雕刻。教会是合一的身体（弗 4：4-6），即使地上的自称为教会会分裂。像珍珠一样教会是痛苦的产物。基督为教会而死（弗 5:25）和祂在十字架上的苦难使她诞生.
As the Holy Spirit condemns sinners to Jesus, the church grows gradually like a pearl. No one can see the growth of a pearl because it is hidden beneath the oyster shell underwater. No one can see the growth of Jesus' church in the world. Today, the church exists in all nations (the water in the Bible represents nations; Daniel 7:1-3; Revelation 13:1; 17:15). One day, the church will reveal its beauty.
随着圣灵定罪, 罪人皈依耶稣，教会像珍珠一样逐渐生长。没有人们可以看到珍珠的成长，因为它隐藏在水下牡蛎的壳内。没有人能看到耶稣的教会在世界上的成长。今日教堂是存在所有的国家中（圣经中所指的水代表国家; 但 7：1-3; 启 13：1; 17:15）有一天教会将显出其美丽来。
Therefore, while Satan does subtle work in this world, Christ is forming His church. He sold everything He owned to buy the church; Satan is powerless to make Jesus fail. Although there are many local churches, there is only one church, a pearl of great value. Not everyone who is a member of a local church belongs to this one church, the body of Christ. Only those who repent and have faith in Christ can become members of His church. Of course, all true believers should identify with those who worship and serve in their local church.
所以，尽管撒旦在这个世界上做些微妙的工作，基督却正在形成祂的教会。祂卖掉了祂所拥有的一切,来购买的教会，撒但无能为力使耶稣失败。虽然有很多当地的教堂, 但是, 只有一个教堂，一颗很高价格的珍珠。不是每个属于当地教会会员, 都属于这一个教会，即基督的身体。只有在基督里悔改和有信心, 才能成为祂的教堂的会员。当然，所有真正的信徒都应该与在当地的地方教会敬拜和事奉的信徒认同。
Fishing net (47-50 sections). Preaching the gospel in the world cannot convert all people. It's like pulling in a huge fishing net; there are good fish and bad fish in it. The same is true of those who call themselves the church today; among them are true believers and false ones (the parable of the tares), good and bad. In the coming of these last days, God will separate the true believers from the false, the good and the bad. When Jesus Christ returns, in the Archimedes' final battle (refer to Revelation 19:11), He will distinguish between those who are already true believers and those who are not. They are living people, not part of the church (already in heaven) or in Israel. These Gentiles will be treated with righteousness: the saved will enter the kingdom, but the unsaved will be thrown into the furnace. A similar idea can be found in the parable of the sheep and the goats (refer to Matthew 25:31).
鱼网（47-50节）。在世上传福音不能使整个世人悔改。它就像拉上巨大的鱼网，内里有好的鱼, 也有些不好的鱼. 今日自称是教会的也是一样, 在其中有真信徒也有虚假的（稗子的比喻）好的和坏的。在这末世的来临，上帝会将真信徒与虚假的; 好的和坏的分开。当耶稣基督再来时, 作阿基米德的末日战争时（启19：11比照研读），祂会分别世上已经是真信的和不信的。他们是活生生的人, 不是教会的一部分（已经在天堂）或在以色列。这些外邦人将以公义来对待：得救的人将进入国度，但未得救的将被投入火炉。在 “绵羊与山羊”的比喻可找到相似的意念（马太福音25：31比照研读）。
In this series of parables, Jesus uses the phrase "the last days" twice (Matthew 13:39, 49). He is not referring to the end of the "church age," because Jesus shared the truth about the church and the last days with his disciples later (Matthew 16:18). The "last days" He refers to are the last days described in Matthew 24:1-31 and Revelation 6-19, referring to the Jewish era at the end of the Great Tribulation. It is important not to be prejudiced against Matthew's description when comparing these parables with the truths later presented by Paul and other apostles.
在这一系列比喻中, 耶稣有两次提出“末世”这短语（马太福音13：39,49）。祂不是指的“教会时代”的末了，因为关于教会的真理, 耶稣与门徒分享末世是后来的事（马太福音16:18）。祂提到的“末世” 是在马太福音24章1-31节和启示录 6-19章中, 所提大灾难结束时的犹太时代所描述的末世。与后来保罗和其它使徒所提出的真理对照时, 不要以马太这段描述“先入为主”, 这点必须小心。
When Jesus finished this series of parables, he asked his disciples if they understood, and they confidently answered, "Yes, Lord." Understanding is related to responsibility. To explain this, the Lord further reminds them of their responsibility with the final parable (Matthew 13:51-52).
当耶稣完成这一系列的比喻时，问祂的门徒他们是否理解，并且他们自信地回答说：“是的，主啊。”理解与责任相关。为了解释这点，主以最后的比喻作补充来提醒他们的责任（太 13：51-52）。
They must be scribes who discover truth. The scribes, under Ezra's leadership, began as a noble group. Their aim was to uphold the law, study it, and apply its truth to daily life. Over the years, their noble cause degenerated into mundane tasks such as preserving tradition and human interpretation, adding to the burdens of people's lives (Luke 11:46-52). In the past, they had devoted themselves to inquiry; now they neglected it! They were not sharing the truth of life from God's Word; they were peddling doctrines of death and the ineffective tradition of "embalming."
他们必须是发现真理的文士. 文士开始在以斯拉领导下是崇高的团体. 他们的目的是维护律法，研究它，并将其真理应用于日常生活中。经过多年岁月后，他们的崇高事业沦为日常流水帐的任务, 如保留传统和作人为的解释，并加重人民的生活的负担（路11：46-52）。在过去, 他们曾埋头的探究, 而现在他们忽略了！他们不是从上帝的话语中分享生活真理，他们是推销死亡的教义以及无法帮助人的“防腐”传统.
As believers, we do not seek truth because we already have the truth of the Son of God (John 14:6) and receive truth from God's Word (John 17:17). We are taught by the Holy Spirit of truth (John 16:13), who is truth (1 John 5:6). By delving deeper into truth, we may discover more of the truth. We are scribes sitting at Jesus' feet —students—listening to His word. One of the joys of the Christian life is the privilege of learning God's truth from God's Word. But we cannot stop there. They must be disciples who practice the truth. "Therefore every scribe will become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven…" This is a more accurate translation of Matthew 13:52. Scribes emphasize learning, while disciples emphasize practical application. Disciples are the implementers of God's word (cf. James 1:22), learning through practice.
作为信徒，我们不是追求真理，因为我们已经有上帝的儿子的真理（约14：6）和从上帝的话语中得到真理（约 17:17）。我们受到真理圣灵的教导（约 16:13）祂就是真理（约壹5：6）。我们深入探索真理, 可能发现更多的真相。我们是坐在耶稣脚下的文士— 学生 — 听祂的话。基督徒生活快乐之一, 是有特权从上帝的话语中学习上帝的真理。但我们不能仅仅就此止步。他们必须是实施真理的门徒。“因此，每个文士都会成为属天国度的门徒…..” 这是马太福音13章52节更准确的翻译。文士强调学习，而门徒强调生活实施。门徒是上帝的话语享施行者（雅各书1：22比照研读），他们从实践中去学习。
Maintaining a balance in life is not easy. We often emphasize sacrificing our lives to maintain balance as the price of learning. Or, we are so busy serving God that we neglect to listen to His word. Every scribe should be a disciple, and every disciple must be a scribe.
要保持生活的平衡很不容易。我们经常强调以牺牲来维持生活平衡为学习的代价。或者，我们非常忙碌于上帝事奉，却忽略了去倾听祂的话语。每个文士都应该是门徒, 并且每个门徒都必须是文士。
They must be stewards who practice the truth. Scribes preserved the law but did not apply it to people's lives. The treasure of the law is influenced by human tradition. Seeds cannot bear fruit if they are not planted. "Spiritual gold and silver" will only yield dividends if they are not put into work. As Christians, we should hold fast, not cling to the old ways.
他们必须是实施真理的管家。文士保留了律法，但没有把它们投入世人的生活中。律法的宝藏是受人类传统的影响。种子若不种植，它们就不能结出果实。 “属灵的金银” 若没有投入工作，它们只会产生红利。作为基督徒，我们应该持守而不是守旧。
The steward guarded the treasure, but he also used it as needed. He implemented both the old and the new. New principles and insights were based on old truths. The new cannot contradict the old, for they originate from the old (Leviticus 26:10). The new without the old is merely novel and will not last. But the old is of no benefit unless it provides a new application in today's life. We need both.
管家守护着宝藏，但他也因它们的需要而使用。他施行旧的和新的。新原则和见解是基于旧的真理。新的不能与旧的矛盾，因为它们是从旧的出来的（利未记26:10）。新的没有旧的只是新奇，不会持久。但是旧的除非在今天的生活上给予新的应用，否则旧的没有好处。我们需要两者。
After Jesus finished these parables, He crossed the stormy Sea of Galilee to reach the nation of Ghazalak and save those afflicted by demons. Matthew records this in 8:28-34. Then Jesus went to His hometown of Nazareth, an event recorded in 13:53-58.
当耶稣说完了这些比喻后，祂渡过暴风雨中的加利利海，到达加大拉的国家, 拯救被恶魔缠身的人。马太把它记录在8章28-34节。然后，耶稣去了祂的家乡拿撒勒，这件事马太记载在13章53-58节。
Two things astonished the people of Nazareth: the Lord's word and His work. However, their disbelief in Jesus limited His work. What caused them to doubt Jesus? Because He grew up among them, lived with them in a human way, and they were too familiar with Him. They knew Him through His physical example (see 2 Corinthians 5:16), and those who submitted to Jesus did not possess the spiritual discernment God had given them (Matthew 11:25-30). They followed Jesus by sight, not by faith.
有两件事让拿撒勒人惊讶：主的话语和祂的事工。然而，他们不相信耶稣，以至使祂的事工受限制。是什幺引起人怀疑耶稣？因为祂在他们中间长大的, 是以人的生活的方式与他们同在，他们太熟悉了祂,。是以祂的肉体的案例认识祂（见 哥林多后书5:16）, 那些屈服于耶稣的人, 并没有上帝赐给他们属灵的辨别力（马太福音11：25-30）。他们是靠眼见跟随耶稣而不是靠信心。
If even Jesus' own friends and family did not trust in Him, how could the nation of Israel have any hope of believing in Him? In His early ministry, He had preached in Nazareth (Luke 4:16-31) and had been rejected by them; now He was rejected again. This was Jesus' last visit to Nazareth; those villagers would not have another chance. Jesus would be called "Jesus of Nazareth," and His followers would be called "Nazareth," but the people of Nazareth did not accept Jesus. Matthew chose this event as a continuation of the "rebellion of the rival king" section.
若是耶稣自己的朋友和家人都不信靠祂，以色列国怎幺会有希望来相信祂？在耶稣早期的传道中，祂曾经在拿撒勒讲道（路加福音4：16-31）并且曾经遭他们拒绝，现在又被拒绝。这是耶稣的最后一次来到拿撒勒; 那些村民以后就没有机会了。耶稣将被称为“拿撒勒人耶稣，” 和祂的追随者将被称为“拿撒勒人, ”但拿撒勒人没有接受耶稣。马太选择这件事作为“敌对王的叛乱”部分的延续。
Finish.
續完.
