奴仆救主福音服事的行动（三）

The Move of the Slave-Savior’s Gospel Service (3)

1读经：马可福音六章一至五十六节。我们在前篇信息看见，在六章一至六节，奴仆救主被拿撒勒人藐视；在六章七至十三节，祂差遣十二门徒出去传道。我们已经指出，十二门徒如何传道、赶鬼、用油抹病人；今天我们也要照样传讲福音，陈明真理来赶鬼，并用我们经历基督的见证来涂抹人，将生命供应给他们。在本篇信息中，我们要继续来看马可六章十四至五十六节，这一段论到四件事：先锋殉道，（14～29，）食饱五千，（30～44，）行在海面，（45～52，）到处施医。（53～56。）

1Scripture Reading: Mark 6:1-56 In the foregoing message we saw that in 6:1-6 the Slave-Savior was despised by the Nazarenes, and that in 6:7-13 He sent out the twelve to preach. We pointed out that just as the twelve preached, cast out demons, and anointed the sick, we today need to preach the gospel, present the truth in order to cast out demons, and minister life to others by anointing them with our testimonies of the experience of Christ. In this message we shall go on to consider 6:14-56, a portion of the Gospel of Mark that covers four matters: the martyrdom of the forerunner of the gospel (vv. 14-29), the feeding of the five thousand (vv. 30-44), the Lord’s walking on these a (vv. 45-52), and the Slave-Savior’she al ing everywhere (vv. 53-56

the martyrdom of the forerunner

先锋殉道

OF THE GOSPEL

2我们不该以为，我们传扬福音，陈明真理，并供应生命，就会受人欢迎。不，我们与施浸者约翰、主耶稣、和门徒没有两样，也应该豫备好受人的弃绝。主被拿撒勒人弃绝以后，就差遣十二门徒出去。十二门徒奉差遣以后，福音的先锋施浸者约翰就殉道了。施浸者约翰的殉道，指明撒但的仇恨，藉著属世权势的黑暗与不公正，向奴仆救主忠信的先锋表现出来。

2We should not think that if we preach the gospel, present the truth, and minister life, we shall be welcomed. No, like John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus, and the disciples, we should expect to be rejected also. After the Lord was rejected by the Nazarenes, He sent out the twelve. Then after the sending out of the twelve, John the Baptist, the forerunner of the gospel, was martyred. The martyrdom of John the Baptist indicates Satan’s hatred, expressed by the darkness and injustice of the worldly people in power, toward the faithful forerunner of the Slave-Savior

3施浸者约翰为甚么被斩？他被斩乃是因著希罗底的要求。马可六章十七至十九节告诉我们：『希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故，差人拿住约翰，把他捆锁在监里，因为希律已经娶了那妇人。约翰曾对希律说，你不可娶你兄弟的妻子。于是希罗底怀恨他，想要杀他，只是不能。』约翰被黑暗的政治，以及权贵的黑暗手段所杀害。希律是不公正的。他与他兄弟的妻子希罗底犯了奸淫，而这妇人怀恨施浸者约翰。

3How did it come to pass that John the Baptist was executed? This execution was carried out at the request of Herodias. Mark 6:17-19 tells us that Herod “had sent and seized John and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother. And Herodias had it in for him and wanted to kill him, and could not.” John was murdered by the darkness of politics, by the darkness of those who were in power. With Herod there was no justice. Herod had committed fornication with Herodias, the wife of his brother, and this woman hated John the Baptist

4希律晓得约翰是义人，是圣人，所以多多少少敬畏他。『因为希律晓得约翰是义人，是圣人，所以敬畏他，并且保护他；虽听他讲论，甚感困惑，却仍喜欢听他。』（20。）一个义人、圣人被监禁，的确是不公正的。

4Herod knew that John was a righteous and holy man, and to a certain extent he had regard for him. “Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him he was much perplexed, and heard him gladly” (v. 20). It certainly was unjust for this righteous and holy man to be bound in prison.

5二十一节说，『有一天，机会来了。希律在他的生日，为他的大臣和千夫长，并加利利的首领，摆设筵席。』希罗底的女儿在筵席进行时进来跳舞，使希律和同席的人都欢喜。希律见她跳舞，受了麻醉与迷惑，就对女子说，『你随意向我求甚么，我都必给你。』（22。）她奉母亲希罗底的指示，要求施浸者约翰的头。所以，这位公义、圣别的福音先锋，因著人的仇恨、黑暗、以及放纵情欲，就被处死了。这就是世人弃绝福音一幅鲜明的图画。在四章三十五节至五章四十三节有一幅现今人类社会的图画。照这幅图画来看，社会上充满了背叛、污鬼、不洁净的事业、疾病与死亡。在六章一至二十九节我们看见另一幅图画，就是对福音与传福音者的弃绝、不公正与仇恨。情形既然如此，我们就不该盼望世人会欢迎我们。我们绝不该盼望受人尊敬、重视。传福音、服事主的人绝对不会受到这种待遇。我们若在主的职事上对主忠心，就会遭受弃绝、不公、仇恨，甚至为祂殉道。然而，我们不该因世人的弃绝与仇恨而失望，相反的，我们要因而受鼓励。

5Verse 21 says that “an opportune day came, when Herod on his birthday made a banquet for his great men and the captains and leading men of Galilee.” During this banquet, the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, pleasing Herod and his guests. Drugged and deceived by her dancing, Herod said to her, “Ask of me whatever you want, and I will give it to you” (v. 22). Following the instructions of her mother, Herodias, she asked for the head of John the Baptist. Therefore, as a result of hatred, darkness, and the indulgence in lust, the righteous and holy forerunner of the gospel was put to death. This is a vivid picture of the rejection by the world of the gospel. In 4:35—5:43 we have a picture of today’s human society. According to this picture, society is full of rebellion, demons, unclean industry, disease, and death. In 6:1-29 we see another kind of picture, a picture of rejection, injustice, and hatred toward the gospel and toward those who are handling the gospel. Since this is the situation, we should not expect to be welcomed by the world. We should never expect to be honored or highly regarded. There can be no such thing for those who serve the Lord in the gospel. If we are faithful to the Lord in His ministry, we shall be despised, and we shall suffer rejection, injustice, hatred, and perhaps even martyrdom. However, we should not be disappointed by the world’s rejection and hatred. On the contrary, we should be encouraged by it

食饱五千

FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND

6奴仆救主在福音的先锋殉道以后，对门徒们说，『来罢，你们暗暗的到旷野地方歇一歇。』（31。）他们要休息，『就坐船，暗暗的往旷野地方去。』然而，大批群众跟著他们去。一方面，本章有弃绝、仇恨与不公。但另一方面，群众还是跟随主。

6After the forerunner of the gospel was martyred, the Slave-Savior said to His disciples, “Come you yourselves privately to a place in the wilderness and rest a while” (v. 31). In order to rest, “they went away in the boat to a place in the wilderness privately.” Nevertheless, a great crowd followed them. On the one hand, in this chapter we have rejection, hatred, and injustice. On the other hand, the crowd was still following the Lord

7六章三十四节说，『耶稣出来，看见大批的群众，就对他们动了慈心，因为他们如同羊没有牧人一样；祂就开始教训他们许多事。』奴仆救主对他们动了慈心，展示祂在人性里的美德，这美德是藉著祂神性的能力施行出来的。祂人性的美德，与祂神性的能力

7Mark 6:34 says, “And coming out from the boat, He saw a great crowd and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.” His expression of compassion exhibited the Slave-Savior’s virtue in His humanity, which was carried out by the power of His deity.

8相调为一，证明祂是人而神者。

9当门徒向主题议叫众人散开时，祂回答说：『你们给他们吃罢。』（35～37。）奴仆救主对众人动了慈心，愿意𫗪养他们。

9When the disciples suggested to the Lord that He send the crowd away, He answered, “You give them something to eat” (vv. 35-37). The Slave-Savior had compassion on the people and wanted to feed them

五饼二鱼

Five Loaves and Two Fishes

10我们都知道，主用五个饼、两条鱼食饱五千人。（38～42。）约翰六章九节告诉我们，这五个饼是大麦饼。按表号，大麦表征复活的基督。（利二三10。）因此，大麦饼象征基督在复活里作我们的食物。饼属于植物的生命，象征基督生命生产的一面；鱼属于动物的生命，象征基督生命救赎的一面。我们要满足属灵的饥饿，不仅需要基督救赎的生命，也需要祂生产的生命。这两面都是由饼和鱼这两种小东西象征的。

10We all know that the Lord used five loaves and two fishes to feed the five thousand (vv. 38-42). John 6:9 tells us that these five loaves were barley loaves. In figure, barley typifies the resurrected Christ (Lev. 23:10). Thus the barley loaves signify Christ in resurrection as food to us. The loaves are of the vegetable life, signifying the generating aspect of Christ’s life, but the fishes are of the animal life, signifying the redeeming aspect of Christ’s life. To satisfy our spiritual hunger, we need Christ’s generating life as well as His redeeming life. Both of these aspects are signified by small items—loaves and fishes

奉献我们所有的

Offering What We Have

11五个饼、两条鱼也指明我们无论从主得著甚么，都要带到祂面前，才能成为许多人莫大的祝福。主常常使用我们所奉献给祂的，来供应别人的需要。我们不该轻视自己的经历，说，『我们从主所得著的不多，我们经历祂也不彀。』看看主在五饼二鱼上所能作的。主所要求的，不会过于我们所有的。我们若把自己所有的给祂，祂就会祝福。当我们把自己所有的呈献给祂，祂就会倾倒祝福，在我们所献给祂的上面加上无限的祝福。马可六章四十三节说，『门徒就拾起零碎，装满了十二篮子，还有鱼的零碎。』我们在这里看见主祝福的结果。这不仅显示奴仆救主这位称无为有之创造主（罗四17）的神性能力，也象征祂神圣生命无穷全备的供应。（弗三8，腓一19。）

11The five loaves and two fishes also indicate that whatever we have of the Lord we need to bring to Him so that it may become a great blessing to many others. The Lord often uses what we offer to Him to provide for the need of others. We should not look down on our experience and say, “We don’th ave much of the Lord. We have not experienced much of Him.” Look at what the Lord can do with five loaves and two fishes. The Lord does not require more than we have. If we give Him what we have, He will bless it. When we present what we have to Him, He will pour out the blessing, bestowing His unlimited blessing on what we present to Him. Verse 43 says, “And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.” Here we see the result of the Lord’s blessing. This not only displayed the Slave-Savior’s power of deity as the Creator, who calls the things not being as being (Rom. 4:17), but also signified the bountiful and inexhaustible supply of His divine life (Eph. 3:8; Phil. 1:19

12我有负担要我们对马可四章三十五节至五章四十三节，和六章一至四十四节的图画，有深刻的印象。我们不应该因主的恢复在这个国家里的人还少，而受到搅扰或失望。我们是注定要被人藐视、弃绝的，我们甚至可以说，神已经为我们这样豫定了。连这位神人也受人藐视与弃绝。祂若被弃绝，我们就不该期望别的。不仅如此，主的先锋施浸者约翰是历史上的界碑，也遭监禁而殉道了。施浸者约翰若遭遇这样的事，我们就不该盼望得到更好的待遇。

12I am burdened that we would be impressed with the pictures in 4:35—5:43 and 6:1-44. We should not be bothered or disappointed by the fact that the number of those in the Lord’s recovery in this country is still rather small. It is our destiny to be despised and rejected. We may even say that God has predestinated us for this. Even the God - man was despised and rejected. If He was rejected, then we should not expect anything different. Furthermore, the Lord’s forerunner, John the Baptist, who was a landmark in history, was imprisoned and martyred. If such a thing could happen to John the Baptist, then we should not expect something better.

13我们不该因我们的定命是要被人弃绝、恨恶、监禁，甚至为主殉道这个事实，而心怀恐惧。这不该使我们灰心，而不走主恢复的道路，反倒要鼓舞我们，将我们所有的献给主。我们也许只有五个饼两条鱼，但我们可以献给主，让祂来祝福。我们若把我们所有的献给主，祂就会在我们所献之物上加上祝福。结果，别人就会得到𫗪养与满足，并且还有十二篮子的零碎。不管我们所受的弃绝、仇恨、与不公有多少，无论如何，我们今天的确有国度的生活。人在这国度生活里得到医治、滋养与饱足，并且还有富余。这是今天召会生活的真实写照。

13We should not be frightened by the fact that it is our destiny to be rejected, hated, imprisoned, and even martyred. Instead of discouraging us from taking the Lord’sway in His recovery, this should encourage us to present what we have to the Lord. We may have only five loaves and two fishes, but we can give this to Him for His blessing. If we give the Lord what we have, He will bestow His blessing on what we offer to Him. The result will be that others will be fed and satisfied, and there will be twelve baskets left over. No matter how much rejection, hatred, and injustice there may be, we nevertheless have the kingdom life today. In this kingdom life people are healed, nourished, fed, and satisfied, and there is an abundance left over. This is an accurate picture of today’s church life

召会生活的描绘

A PORTRAIT OF THE CHURCH LIFE

14四章三十五节至五章四十三节，与六章一至四十四节的几幅图画，描绘出召会生活。我们在头一幅图画看见风暴、污鬼、猪群、疾病与死亡。然而，奴仆救主在这种可怕的情形之下，前来征服背叛、赶逐污鬼、清除不洁净的事业、医治病人、并叫死人复活。结果，我们都得著

14The church life is portrayed by the pictures in 4:35— 5:43 and 6:1-44. In the first picture we have storms, demons, hogs, disease, and death. Nevertheless, into such a deplorable situation the Slave-Savior comes to subdue the rebellion, cast out the demons, clear up the unclean industry, heal the sickness, and raise the dead. As a result, we all are healed, enlivened, and revived

15医治、点活、并复苏过来。

16照第二幅图画来看，我们会受到藐视，并遭受弃绝、恨恶、不公，最后殉道。虽然如此，甚至在这种光景里群众却得到满足。人人都得了𫗪养而快乐。我们将我们所有的献给主，而我们从祂得著的却多过我们所献上的。这就是国度生活、召会生活。今天，我们能在国度的生活里，这是何等的有福。虽然我们好像失去了一切，实际上，我们在主里却得著了一切。我们在马可四章看见国度的种子。在前一篇信息，我们已经看过这种子生长与发展的历史。我们从神的观点看见，国度是祂这撒到我们里面之种子的发展。但是从撒但的观点来看，国度就是征服背叛。这是为甚么第四章征服风暴的记载，紧接在主讲论神国度的教训之后。然后我们在第五章看见，奴仆救主赶逐污鬼，清除不洁净的事业，并治好致命的疾病，把国度显示出来。因著一个人，就是耶稣基督这位成为肉体的神来了，就对付了五类消极的事：背叛、污鬼、不洁净的事业、疾病与死亡。为著神国度这幅美妙的图画，赞美主！

16According to the second picture, we shall be despised and experience rejection, hatred, injustice, and martyrdom. Nevertheless, even in such a situation the crowd is satisfied. Everyone is fed and made happy. We offer everything we have to the Lord, and then we receive from Him much more than we offered. This is the kingdom life, the church life. We are very much blessed to be in the kingdom life today. Although we seem to lose everything, actually in the Lord we gain everything. In chapter four of the Gospel of Mark we have the seed of the kingdom. In a previous message we considered the history of the growth and development of this seed. We saw that from God’s point of view the kingdom is the development of Himself as the seed sown into us. But from Satan’s point of view the kingdom is the subduing of rebellion. This is the significance of the record of the subduing of the storm in chapter four coming immediately after the Lord’s teaching concerning the kingdom of God. Then in chapter five we have the demonstration of the kingdom in the Slave - Savior’s casting out demons, clearing up the unclean industry, and healing the death-sickness. By the coming of one Person, Jesus Christ, God incarnate, five categories of negative things are dealt with: rebellion, demons, unclean industry, disease, and death. Praise the Lord for this wonderful picture of the kingdom of God!

17六章一至四十四节描绘出国度的第二幅图画。我们在这幅图画里看见世界对于奴仆救主的态度。世人敬重身分高尚的人，而弃绝福音。我们在施浸者约翰被斩的记载里，看见世界上政治的黑暗、不公。这实在是今天世界的一幅写照。世人藐视、弃绝福音，然而主耶稣并不因此失望。祂是遭弃绝的一位，但祂反倒差遣十二门徒。接著，福音先锋殉道以后，祂得著了五千人，𫗪养他们，并满足他们。仇敌杀了一位，主却产生出五千位。这是主在历世历代以来行动的历史。我相信在我们中间也会继续重演。

17A second picture of the kingdom is portrayed in 6:1-44. In this picture we see the attitude of the world toward the Slave-Savior. Valuing those with a high status, the worldly people despise and reject the gospel. In the account of the execution of John the Baptist, we see the darkness and injustice of worldly politics. This is truly a picture of today’s world. The world despises the gospel and rejects it. However, the Lord Jesus is not disappointed by this. Instead, as the rejected One, He sent out the twelve. Then after the martyrdom of the forerunner of the gospel, the Lord gained the five thousand, fed them, and satisfied them. After the enemy kills one, the Lord produces five thousand. This has been the history in the Lord’s move throughout the centuries, and I believe this will continue to be repeated among us

行在海面

walking on the sea

18六章四十五至五十二节记载，奴仆救主在海面上行走。马可六章四十五至四十六节说，『耶稣随即催门徒上船，先到对岸伯赛大去，等祂解散群众。祂既辞别了他们，就往山上去祷告。』主为了与神交通而祷告，为著福音的服事，寻求神的旨意与喜悦。奴仆救主没有向神独立，而照自己的意思或凭自己有分于福音的服事。祂乃是照著神的旨意与喜悦，靠著与神是一，来执行福音的服事，以达成神的定旨。

18In 6:45-52 we have the record of the Slave-Savior’s walking on these a. Mark 6:45 and 46 say, “And immediately He constrained His disciples to get into the boat and go before to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd. And having said farewell to them, He went away to the mountain to pray.” The Lord prayed in order to fellowship with God, seeking His will and pleasure for His gospel service. The Slave-Savior did not do this gospel service by Himself as one independent of God and according to His own will. Rather, He carried out the gospel service according to God’s will and pleasure by being one with God to fulfill His purpose

19四十八节说，『看见门徒，因风不顺，摇橹甚苦。夜里约有四更天，祂在海上走向他们，想要走过他们4:38去。』在四章三十八节，奴仆救主在风暴袭击的船上睡著，跟从祂的人却饱受惊吓。在这里，祂在海上行走，而跟从祂的人因著海浪翻腾，摇橹甚苦。这些事例指明，奴仆救主这位宇宙的创造者和管理者，（伯九8，）不受任何环境的搅扰，并愿顾念跟从祂的人，在跟从祂的途中所遇见的艰难。

19Verse 48 says, “And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, He comes toward them about the fourth watch of the night, walking on the sea; and He would have passed by them.” In the Slave - Savior was sleeping in a boat beaten by a windstorm that threatened His followers. Here He is walking on the sea at the same time that His followers are distressed in rowing by the waves of the sea. These incidents indicate that the Slave-Savior, as the Creator and Ruler of the universe (Job 9:8), was not bothered by any circumstances and that He would care for the troubles of His followers in their journey following Him.

20当门徒看见主在海面上行走，就喊叫起来，非常不安。但祂对他们说，『放心，是我，不要怕。50-于是到他们那里，上了船，风就止住了。』（可六50～51。）这个神迹不仅见证主是天地的创造者和管理者，也指明祂顾念跟从祂的人在跟随祂的路上所遇见的种种难处。我们有主在船上，风浪就止住了。本章所记载的两个神迹，含示基督被弃绝时，祂和跟从祂的人乃是在旷野，在风暴的海上。然而，祂能供应他们的需要，并带他们渡过难关。

20When the disciples saw the Lord walking on the sea, they cried out and were troubled. But He said to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not fear! And He went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased” (v. 51). This miracle not only testifies that the Lord is the Creator and Ruler of the heavens and the earth, but also indicates that He cares for the hardships of His followers while they follow Him in the way. When we have the Lord in our boat, the wind ceases. The record of the two miracles recorded in this chapter implies that at the time Christ was being rejected, He and His followers were in the wilderness and on the stormy sea. Nevertheless, He was able to provide for their need and carry them through hardships.

到处施医

healing everywhere

21六章五十三至五十六节是奴仆救主到处施医的简略记载。祂与门徒渡过海，来到革尼撒勒地方。众人立刻认出祂，便将有病的人带到祂面前。五十六节说，『凡耶稣所到的地方，或村中，或城里，或乡间，他们都将病弱的放在市场上，求耶稣准他们至少摸祂的衣服䍁子；凡摸著祂的人，都得了拯救。』基督的衣服象征祂的义行；䍁子象征属天的管治。（民十五38～39。）基督受诸天管治的行为所生出的美德，成了医治的能力；凡摸著祂的人都得了拯救。

21In 6:53-56 we have a brief record of the Slave-Savior’she al ing everywhere. He and His disciples crossed over the sea and came to Gennesaret. Immediately the people recognized Him and began to bring to Him those who were ill. Verse 56 says, “And wherever He entered into villages, or into cities, or into the fields, they laid those who were sick in the market places, and entreated Him that they might touch if even the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched Him were healed.” Christ’s garment signifies His righteous deeds, and the fringe signifies the heavenly ruling Num. 15:38-39). Out of Christ’she aven ly-ruled deeds is the virtue that becomes the healing power. As many as touched Him in this way were healed
