人救主在祂带著神圣属性之人性美德中的职事在加利利（十）

The Ministry of the Man-Savior in His Human Virtues with His Divine Attributes-in Galilee (10
1读经：路加福音九章一至二十六节。我们已经看见，在七章三十六节至八章二十一节中，基督徒的生活开始于罪得赦免，然后到一个时候，我们成为基督的亲属，祂身体的肢体。我们既是祂的亲属，就豫备好行在祂所命定的路上，与祂一同游
1Scripture Reading: Luke 9:1-26 We have seen that in 7:36—8:21 the Christian life begins with the forgiveness of sins and then reaches a point where we become the relatives of Christ, the members of His Body. As His relatives, we are ready to journey on the way He has ordained and to travel and visit different places with Him

2THE SPREADING OF THE JUBILEE
禧年的扩展
3当我们来到九章一节，主的门徒已经多多少少得了成全。现在我们需要看见，他们得成全，乃是为著禧年的扩展。
3By the time we come to 9:1, the Lord’s disciples had been perfected to a certain extent. Now we need to see that their being perfected was for the spreading of the jubilee
4人救主完全豫备好以后，就受浸、受试验、并受膏。祂完全合格，且得了成全，就开始尽职。按照四章所说，祂的职事开始于宣扬禧年。当主宣扬禧年时，祂独自在尽神所赐的职事。到祂宣扬禧年以后，祂就呼召一些人归祂自己。在六章十三节我们看见祂呼召门徒，『从他们中间挑选十二个人，称他们为使徒。』我们可以说，六至八章的十二使徒乃是跟从主的『学徒，』学习如何尽祂的职事。正如七章三十六节至八章五十六节的记载所指明的，他们的罪得了赦免，他们开始爱主并过平安的生活。他们也开始在生命里长大，像灯一样照耀，并成为基督的亲属。在八章他们照主的话与主同行。在一个地方，他们遇见鬼，并看见主如何清除养猪事业。在别的地方，他们遇见一个有漏掉生命光景的女人，和一个从死人中复活的女孩。所以，在八章末了，这些主的跟从者已经多多少少得了成全。
4After the Man-Savior was fully prepared, He was baptized, tested, and anointed. Being fully qualified and perfected, He began His ministry. According to chapter four, His ministry opened with the proclamation of the jubilee. When the Lord proclaimed the jubilee, He alone was carrying out the God-given ministry. After He made the proclamation concerning the jubilee, He called certain ones to Himself. In 6:13 we see that He called His disciples, and “He chose from them twelve, whom He also named apostles.” We may say that in chapters six through eight the twelve apostles were “apprentices” following the Lord to learn how to carry out His ministry. As indicated by the record in 7:36— 8:56, their sins were forgiven and they began to love the Lord and live a life of peace. They also began to grow in life, shine as lamps, and become the relatives of Christ. In chapter eight they journeyed with the Lord at His word. In one place they encountered demons and saw how the Lord cleared up the business of hog raising. Elsewhere, they encountered a woman with a life-leaking condition and a girl who was raised from the dead. Therefore, at the end of chapter eight these followers of the Lord had been perfected to a certain extent
5九章开始路加福音的另一段，论到禧年的扩展。禧年是甚么？禧年实际上就是新约的福音。我们已经看见，这福音是宣扬被掳的得释放，失去的长子名分得恢复。如今在九章，这禧年开始扩展。此时以前，这职事仅仅由主自己完成，但在九章一节，这职事藉著另外十二个人而扩展。所以，从九章一节开始，我们看见藉著十二使徒而有的职事的扩展，禧年的扩展。
5Chapter nine begins another section of the Gospel of Luke, a section concerned with the spreading of the jubilee. What is the jubilee? The jubilee is actually the gospel of the New Testament. As we have seen, this gospel is the proclamation of the release of the captives and of the recovery of the lost birthright. Now in chapter nine we have the start of the spreading of this jubilee. Prior to this time, the ministry was carried out only by the Lord Himself. But in 9:1 we have the spreading through twelve others. Therefore, beginning with 9:1 we see the spreading of the ministry, the spreading of the jubilee, through the twelve apostles.
6禧年扩展的思想是九章一至二十六节记载的基础。九章一至二十六节的一些事例也见于马太福音和马可福音。在马太福音，这些事例用作证据，以证明诸天之国的道理。在马可福音，这些事例用来陈明主耶稣是神忠信的奴仆，完成神所命定的职事。然而，在路加福音，这些事例用来指出禧年的扩展。禧年已经由人救主所宣扬，这宣扬一直持续到八章末了。现今在路加九章，禧年开始扩展了。不再只有一个人宣扬禧年，现在另有十二个人奉差遣出去扩展禧年。当然，九章一至二十六节没有题到『主悦纳人的禧年』一辞，但基本的思想与禧年一事息息相关。
6The thought of the spreading of the jubilee underlies the record in 9:1-26. Certain of the cases in 9:1-26 are found also in Matthew and Mark. In Matthew these cases are used as evidence to prove the doctrine of the kingdom of the heavens, and in Mark they are used to present the Lord Jesus as the faithful Slave of God carrying out God’s ordained ministry. In Luke, however, these cases are used to point out the spreading of the jubilee. The jubilee had already been proclaimed by the Man-Savior, and this proclamation continued until the end of chapter eight. Now in Luke 9 the spreading of the jubilee begins. No longer is there just one person proclaiming the jubilee. Now twelve others are sent out to spread the jubilee. Of course, in 9:1-26 the words “jubilee” or “acceptable year of the Lord” are not mentioned. Nevertheless, the underlying thought is very much related to the matter of jubilee
差遣十二使徒扩展祂的职事
SPREADING THE MINISTRY through the twelve apostles
7在九章一至六节，主的职事藉著十二使徒得著扩展。祂的职事这样扩展，实际上就是禧年的扩展。
7In 9:1-6 we have the spreading of the ministry through the twelve apostles. This spreading of the ministry is actually the spreading of the jubilee
给他们能力、权柄，制伏一切的鬼，并医治疾病
Giving Them Power and Authority over Demons and to Heal Diseases
8路加九章一节说，『耶稣叫齐了十二个门徒，给他们能力、权柄，制伏一切的鬼，并医治疾病。』制伏鬼和医治疾病的能力、权柄，是叫被掳的得释放。因著堕落，人就被撒但、罪和疾病─罪的结果─掳去。每个堕落的人都是鬼和疾病的俘虏。所以，人救主赐给十二个门徒能力、权柄，制伏鬼和疾病。这是禧年消极的一面，使被掳的得释放。
8Luke 9:1 says, “And having called together the twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to heal diseases.” The power and authority over demons and to heal diseases is for the release of the captives. As a result of the fall, man was captured by Satan, sin, and disease, which is the issue of sin. Every fallen human being is a captive both of demons and of diseases. Therefore, the Man-Savior gave the twelve power and authority over demons and diseases. This is the negative aspect of the jubilee, the aspect of the release of the captives
9九章一节制伏鬼和医治疾病的权柄，乃是豫尝来世，就是千年国的能力，（来六5，）在那里所有的鬼都要被赶出，各样的疾病也都要得医治。（赛三五5～6。）
9The authority in 9:1 over demons and disease is a foretaste of the power of the coming age (Heb. 6:5), that is, of the millennium, in which all demons will be cast out and all diseases will be healed (Isa. 35:5-6).
10鬼是一种活类脱体的灵。这些活类曾生存在亚当以前的世代，因参与撒但的背叛而受了神的审判，成为脱体的灵。（见创世记生命读经第二篇。）堕落的天使，在空中与撒但一同作工；（弗二2，六11～12；）而鬼在地上与撒但一同行动。二者都为著撒但的国，邪恶的在人身上活动。鬼附著人，表征撒但霸占神为祂目的所造的人。鬼需要从鬼附的人身上被赶出去，使人从撒但的辖制中得著释放，（路十三16，）脱离撒但黑暗的权势，（徒二六18，西一13，）进入神的国里。差遣他们去宣扬神的国路加九章二节说，『又差遣他们去宣扬神的国，医治病弱的。』这里宣扬神的国是禧年积极的一面。神的国关系到恢复在基督里享受神的权利。我们复习前面一篇信息里论到神的国所说的。神的国乃是救主（路十七21）作生命的种子，撒到祂的信徒，就是神的选民里面，（可四3，26，）并发展为一个范围，就是神的国，使神在祂神圣的生命里，能在其中掌权。神国的入门是重生，（约三5，）其发展是信徒在神圣生命里的长大。（彼后一3～11。）神的国在今天是召会生活，是忠信的信徒在其中生活的，（罗十四17，）并要发展为要来的国度，作得胜圣徒在千年国里（启二十4，6）所承受的赏赐。（加五21，弗五5。）至终，神的国要完成于新耶路撒冷，作神永远的国，就是神永远生命之永远福分的永远范围，在新天新地里给神所有的赎民享受，直到永远。（启二一1～4，二二1～5。）这样的国，就是出于神生命的国，乃是救主当作福音（好信息）所传扬的。（路四43。）
10Demons are the spirits of the living creatures who lived in the preadamic age and were judged by God when they joined Satan’s rebellion (see Life-study of Genesis Message 2). The fallen angels work with Satan in the air (Eph. 2:2; 6:11-12), and the demons move with him on the earth. Both act evilly upon man for the kingdom of Satan. The possession of people by demons signifies Satan’s usurpation of man, whom God created for His purpose. The demons need to be cast out from possessed people so that they may be delivered from Satan’s bondage (Luke 13:16), out of Satan’s authority of darkness (Acts 26:18; Col. 1:13), into God’skin gdom. Sending Them to Proclaim the Kingdom of God Luke 9:2 says, “And He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to cure the sick.” Here we have the proclaiming of the kingdom of God as the positive aspect of the jubilee. The kingdom of God involves the recovery of the right to enjoy God in Christ. Let us review what we have said in an earlier message concerning the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is the Savior (17:21) as the seed of life, sown into His believers, God’s chosen people (Mark 4:3, 26), and developing into a realm which God may rule as His kingdom in His divine life. Its entrance is regeneration (John 3:5), and its development is the believers’ growth in the divine life (2 Pet. 1:3-11). It is the church life today, in which the faithful believers live (Rom. 14:17), and it will develop into the coming kingdom as an inheritance reward (Gal. 5:21; Eph. 5:5) to the overcoming saints in the millennium (Rev. 20:4, 6). Eventually, it will consummate in the New Jerusalem as the eternal kingdom of God, an eternal realm of the eternal blessing of God’s eternal life for all God’s redeemed to enjoy in the new heaven and new earth for eternity (Rev. 21:1-4; 22:1-5). Such a kingdom, the kingdom of God, is what the Savior preached as the gospel, the good news (4:43
11按照九章二节，主差遣十二个门徒去宣扬神的国。宣扬神的国就是宣扬禧年，尤其是宣扬禧年积极的一面─恢复我们所失去享受神的权利。所以，人救主差遣十二个门徒出去，乃是藉著他们将禧年扩展到周围的地方。
11According to 9:2, the Lord sent out the twelve to proclaim the kingdom of God. To proclaim the kingdom of God is to proclaim the jubilee. In particular, it is to proclaim the positive aspect of the jubilee—the recovery of our lost right to the enjoyment of God. Therefore, in sending out the twelve, the Man-Savior was spreading the jubilee through them to the surrounding country.
嘱咐十二使徒行路的时候甚么也不要带
Charging the Twelve to Take Nothing for Their Journey
12在九章三、四节，主对十二个门徒说，『行路的时候，不要带手杖和口袋，不要带食物和银子，各人也不要有两件里衣。无论进那一家，就住在那里，也从那里起行。』人救主为甚么吩咐奉差遣的人行路的时候，甚么也不要带？原因乃是因著神的命定，在禧年里凡物公用。所以，十二个门徒不需要为自己带甚么。这里的图画指明，当禧年来到时，再没有自私自利。反之，一切都为著我们，也为著别人。
12In 9:3 and 4 the Lord said to the twelve, “Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two tunics apiece. And into whatever house you enter, remain there, and from there go out.” Why did the Man-Savior tell the sent ones not to take anything for their journey? The reason He told them to take nothing was that in the jubilee things are common under God’so rd i nation. Therefore, there was no need for the twelve to take anything for themselves. The picture here indicates that when the jubilee comes there will not be any selfishness. Instead, everything will be both for us and for others
使徒出去宣扬福音
The Apostles Going Out to Proclaim the Good News
13路加九章六节说，『门徒就出去，走遍各乡，传扬福音，到处治病。』。这福音是甚么？就是神的国。人救主所命定的福音，就是神国的传扬。路加九章六节告诉我们，使徒出去『到处治病。』这指明他们出去应用禧年。在四章人救主宣告禧年，但在九章，十二个门徒将禧年应用到那些在犹太地的人身上。
13Luke 9:6 says, “And going out, they passed through from village to village, bringing the good news and healing everywhere.” What was this good news? It was the kingdom of God. The good news ordained by the Man-Savior was the preaching of the kingdom of God. Luke 9:6 tells us that the apostles went out “healing everywhere.” This indicates that they went out to apply the jubilee. The jubilee was declared in chapter four by the Man-Savior, but in chapter nine it was applied to those in Judea by the twelve
希律游移不定
Herod Being Utterly Perplexed
14路加九章七至九节说，『分封的王希律听见所发生的一切事，就游移不定；因为有人说，是约翰从死人中复活。又有人说，是以利亚显现。还有人说，是古时的一位申言者又活了。希律说，约翰我已经斩了，这却是谁，我竟听见祂这样的事？就想要见祂。』按照马可六章十四至二十九节，希律已经将施浸者约翰斩了。这指明撒但的仇恨，藉著属世权势的黑暗与不公正，向人救主忠信的先锋表现出来。我们在路加九章看见，希律听见所发生的事，就游移不定。
14Luke 9:7-9 says, “And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening; and he was utterly perplexed, because it was said by some that John was raised from the dead, and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had risen. And Herod said, John I beheaded, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things? And he was seeking to see Him.” According to Mark 6:14-29, Herod had John the Baptist beheaded. That was an indication of Satan’s hatred for the faithful forerunner of the Man-Savior. This hatred was expressed in the darkness and injustice of the worldly people in power. In chapter nine of Luke we see that when Herod heard what was happening, he was utterly perplexed
食饱五千人
FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND
主暗暗的退去
The Lord Withdrawing Privately
15在九章十、十一节路加接著说『使徒回来，将所作的事都向耶稣述说。耶稣就带他们暗暗的退到一座城去，那城名叫伯赛大。但群众知道了，就跟著祂去；耶稣便欢迎他们，对他们讲论神国的事，医治那些需要医治的人。』这里我们看见，因著希律的反对，人救主暗暗的退到伯赛大城去。祂在那里对跟从祂的群众讲论神国的事，并且医治病人。这又是四章所宣扬之禧年的应用。主讲论神国的事，这是禧年积极的一面享受神的权利得恢复；而祂医治病人，乃是禧年消极的一面─被掳的得释放。甚至在主因著希律的反对而退去时，祂还继续应用禧年。
15In 9:10 and 11 Luke goes on to say, “And when the apostles returned, they related to Him whatever they had done. And taking them along, He withdrew privately into a city called Bethsaida. But the crowds, knowing it, followed Him; and He welcomed them and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and those who had need of healing He cured.” Here we see that, because of Herod’s opposition, the Man-Savior withdrew privately into the city of Bethsaida. In that place He spoke to the crowds who followed Him concerning the kingdom of God. He also cured the sick. Once again we have the application of the jubilee, which had been proclaimed in chapter four. The Lord’s speaking concerning the kingdom of God was the positive aspect of the jubilee— ─ the recovery of the right to enjoy God—and His curing the sick was the negative aspect of the jubilee—the release of the captives. Even in His withdrawal due to Herod’s opposition, the Lord continued to apply the jubilee.
以五饼二鱼食饱群众
Feeding the Crowd with Five Loaves and Two Fishes
16在九章十二至十七节，路加叙述食饱五千人的事。在约翰福音里，这事例用来证明主耶稣是供应生命的粮，活粮，神的粮，从天上降下来赐生命给世人的。但在路加福音，这事例用来证明另一件事。换句话说，路加记载食饱五千人一事，观点与约翰六章的不同。我们再次看见路加的观点与禧年有关。路加九章十二至十七节指明，在禧年里没有人会缺乏；没有缺欠，也没有贫穷。按照十四节，群众当中男人约有五千。若加上妇女与孩子，人数可能超过一万。这些人都没有食物，实在有很大的缺欠。十二个门徒从他们天然领会的观点来看这事，就来对主说，『请解散群众，他们好往周围乡村和农家去借宿找吃的，因为我们这里是野地。』（路九。）门徒建议主解散群众，这是天然人的表现。
16In 9:12-17 we have Luke’s account of the feeding of the five thousand. In the Gospel of John this case is used to prove that the Lord Jesus is the life-supplying bread, the living bread, the bread of God, that came down from heaven to give life to the world. But in the Gospel of Luke this case is used to prove something else. In other words, in recording the feeding of the five thousand, Luke has a view different from that in John 6. Once again we see that Luke’s view is related to the jubilee. Luke 9:12-17 indicates that in the jubilee no one will be in want; no one will lack, and there will not be any poverty. According to verse 13, the multitude numbered about five thousand men. If we add in the women and the children, the number would probably be more than ten thousand. All these people were without food. There certainly was a great lack. Considering the matter from the point of view of their natural understanding, the twelve came to the Lord and said, “Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms to lodge and find provisions, because we are in a desolate place 12 here” (v. 12). The disciples’ suggestion that the Lord dismiss the crowd was an expression of the natural man.
17主对门徒反应说『你们给他们吃罢。』（路九13。）这里主似乎说，『对那些贫穷、没有东西吃的人，你们应当给他们食物，不要代价，免费供应。』在禧年里，人不用出代价，都得吃饱。
17The Lord responded to the disciples by saying, “You give them something to eat” (v. 13). Here the Lord seems to be saying, “To those who are poor and have nothing to eat, you should give food without cost, without charge.” In the jubilee all are fed without cost
18新约时代应当是禧年的时代。然而，可悲的是，因著基督徒中间堕落的光景，禧年已经失去了。但我信主现今正在恢复这禧年。在主恢复的禧年里，不该有任何短缺。相反的，应当总是有余的，就像九章十七节剩下的零碎，装满了十二篮子。这就是说，总该有丰盈丰富的彰显。主吩咐门徒给群众吃，他们回答说，『我们不过有五个饼两条鱼，除非我们为这一切百姓买食物去。』（路九13。）然后，主吩咐门徒叫百姓『一伙一伙的坐下，每伙大约五十个人。』（路九14。）『耶稣拿著五个饼两条鱼，望著天祝福，擘开，递给门徒，摆在群众面前。众人都吃，并且吃饱了，拾起剩下的零碎，有十二篮子。』（路九16～17。）这里我们看见每个人都吃饱了，并且剩下的比原先手中所有的更多。我们读了这个也许会说，『这是神迹。』不错，这是神迹。但是我们需要看见一个要紧的点，就是路加从禧年的观点将这神迹记载在他的福音书里。食饱五千人的记载指明，在禧年里没有缺乏。在禧年里，每个人都得著满足。
18The New Testament age should be a time of jubilee. However, sadly, because of the degraded situation among Christians, the jubilee has been lost. But I believe that the Lord is now recovering this jubilee. In the Lord’s recovery of the jubilee there should not be any shortage. On the contrary, there should always be something left over, just as there were twelve baskets full of broken pieces left over in 9:17. This means that there should always be an expression of the abundance of riches. When the Lord told the disciples to give the crowd something to eat, they answered, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish among us, unless we go and buy food for all this people” (v. 13). Then the Lord told the disciples to have the people “recline in groups of about fifty each” (v. 14). “Taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And they ate and were all satisfied; and they took up that which was left over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets” (vv. 16-17). Here we see that everyone was satisfied and that the amount left over was more than what was at hand originally. As we read this we may say, “This is a miracle.” Yes, it is a miracle. Nevertheless, we need to see the crucial point that Luke recorded this miracle in his Gospel from the point of view of the jubilee. The record of the feeding of the five thousand indicates that in the jubilee there is no lack. In the jubilee everyone is satisfied
