The Ministry of the Man-Savior in His Human Virtues with His Divine Attributes-in Galilee (12
1读经:路加福音九章二十七至五十节。
1Scripture Reading: Luke 9:27-50
变化形像的需要
THE NEED FOR TRANSFIGURATION
2在本篇信息里,我们来到路加九章二十七至五十节。路加福音这段话也与禧年有关。这里我们看见主耶稣需要变化形像。按照新约完整的启示,我们需要变化形像,好享受禧年。马太十七章二节『变…形像』一辞,原文与马可九章二节,林后三章十八节,罗马十二章二节的『变化,』以及腓立比三章二十一节的『改变形状』同字。这里的点乃是,我们要享受禧年,就需要变化形像
2In this message we come to 9:27-50. This portion of the Gospel of Luke also is related to the jubilee. Here we see that it was necessary for the Lord Jesus to be transfigured. According to the entire revelation of the New Testament, we need transfiguration in order to enjoy the jubilee. The Greek word rendered “transfigured” in Matthew 17:2 is the same as that translated “transformed” in Mark 9:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; and Romans 12:2. The same Greek word is used also in Philippians 3:21. The point here is that for the enjoyment of the jubilee we need transfiguration, transformation
3或改变形状,就是变化。

4在肉体里的人救主需要变化形像,因为祂是在罪之肉体的样式里,在堕落之人肉体的样式里。(罗八3。)就如杆子上的铜蛇有蛇的形状,却没有蛇的毒性;(民二一8~9;)照样,在肉体里的主耶稣有罪之肉体的样式,却没有罪之肉体的性情。(约三。)当祂成为肉体时,祂取了旧人的形状。当主耶稣成为肉体时,人已经堕落了。祂在人堕落很久以后成为肉体,在罪之肉体的样式里来。约翰一章一节和十四节指明,那是神的话成了肉体。用保罗在提前三章十六节的话说,这乃是神显现于肉体。因为主耶稣这位成为肉体的神是在肉体里来,所以连祂也需要变化形像。
4The Man-Savior in the flesh needed transfiguration because He was in the likeness of the flesh of sin, the likeness of the flesh of fallen man (Rom. 8:3). Just as the brass serpent on the pole had the form of a serpent but not the poisonous nature of a serpent (Num. 21:8-9), so the Lord Jesus in the flesh had the likeness of the flesh of sin but not the nature of the flesh of sin (John 3:14). When He became flesh, He took on the 14 form of the old man. Man had already become fallen when the Lord Jesus became flesh. He became flesh long after man’s fall, coming in the likeness of the flesh of sin. John 1:1 and 14 indicate that the Word, which was God, became flesh. In Paul’swords in 1 Timothy 3:16, this was a matter of God manifested in the flesh. Because the Lord Jesus, God incarnate, came in the flesh, even He was in need of transfiguration.
复活、变化形像、以及禧年的完满应用
RESURRECTION, TRANSFIGURATION, AND THE FULL APPLICATION OF THE JUBILEE
5新约时代是禧年的时代。然而,这还不是禧年完满应用的时代。禧年的完满应用包括变化形像。你知道救主甚么时候完全变化形像?祂在祂的复活里完全变化形像。山上的变化形像是小规模的,但主从死人中复活之后,就完全变化形像了。现今祂停留在这变化形像的光景里。按腓立比三章二十一节,当祂回来时,我们都要改变形状。
5The New Testament age is the age of the jubilee. However, this is not yet the time of the full application of the jubilee. The full application of the jubilee involves transfiguration. Do you know when the Savior was transfigured in full? He was fully transfigured in His resurrection. The transfiguration on the mountain was on a small scale. But when the Lord was resurrected from among the dead, He was fully transfigured. He now remains in this state of transfiguration. According to Philippians 3:21, when He comes back, we all shall be transfigured.
6现今我们的变化或改变形状,正在我们的魂里进行。我们的灵已经蒙了重生,我们的魂正在变化。成熟的信徒乃是魂里完全变化的人,就是心思、意志和情感都变化了。这样的信徒在变化形像的救主来临的时候,只需要肉身改变形状。保罗在罗马八章二十三节称身体这样的改变形状为身体得赎。身体得赎也就是进入神儿女之荣耀的自由。保罗在罗马八章的话指明,今天我们虽然是在禧年里,却还没有完满的在禧年里。当我们的身体完全得赎,完全改变形状并变化,那时,我们就要被带进神儿女之荣耀的自由,那就是完满的禧年。
6Presently our transformation, or transfiguration, is taking place in our soul. Our spirit has been regenerated, and our soul is being transformed. A matured believer is one who has been fully transformed in his soul, that is, transformed in his mind, will, and emotion. Such a believer only needs his physical body to be transfigured at the coming of the transfigured Savior. This transfiguration of the body is called the redemption of the body by Paul in Romans 8:23. The redemption of the body is also the entering into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Paul’sword in Romans 8 indicates that although we are in the jubilee today, we are not yet in the jubilee in a full way. When our body has been fully redeemed, fully transfigured and transformed, then we shall be brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God, and that will be the jubilee in full
基本的原则
A BASIC PRINCIPLE
7这里我们需要看见一个基本的原则:我们在自己的旧人里,就无法有分于禧年。即使我们在主悦纳人的禧年(实际上就是整个新约时代)里,我们若留在旧造里,就无分于禧年的享受。这是今天基督徒中间的光景相当可怜的原因。许多信徒只知道他们的罪得了赦免,但他们不知道自己的灵已经蒙了重生。然而,得了赦免,却不知道自己已经蒙了重生的人,仍然留在旧造里,无法有分于禧年的享受。
7Here we need to see a basic principle: When we are in our old man, we cannot participate in the jubilee. Even though we are in the year of jubilee, the acceptable year of the Lord, which is actually the entire New Testament age, if we remain in the old creation we have nothing to do with participating in the enjoyment of the jubilee. This is the reason the situation among Christians today is pitiful. Many believers know only that their sins have been forgiven, but they do not know that their spirit has been regenerated. However, a forgiven person who does not know that he has been regenerated still remains in the old creation and cannot participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee
变化为著享受禧年
TRANSFORMATION FOR the enjoyment of the jubilee
8为了享受禧年,我们的灵已经蒙了重生。神已经重生了我们的灵,这是我们有分于禧年之享受的开始。这就是说,当我们的灵蒙了重生,我们就开始进入禧年的享受。当我们呼求主名而得救,并经历了罪得赦免时,我们的灵就蒙了重生。即使我们不知道发生了甚么事,我们里面却有欢乐。我们里面的喜乐,乃是我们开始有分于禧年之享受的表记。正确的悔改相信与得救的经历,总会带进这样的享受。
8In order that we may enjoy the jubilee, our spirit has been regenerated. God has regenerated our spirit as the beginning of our participation in the enjoyment of the jubilee. This means that we began to enter into the enjoyment of the jubilee when our spirit was regenerated. When we called on the name of the Lord for salvation and experienced the forgiveness of sins, our spirit was regenerated. Even though we did not have the knowledge of what had taken place, within us there was rejoicing. The joy within us was a sign of the beginning of our participation in the enjoyment of the jubilee. A proper conversion and experience of salvation always bring in such an enjoyment.
9许多信徒重生以后受到误引,仅仅在头脑上注重道理。结果,他们失去了禧年的享受。然而,我们在主的恢复里,已经从神学和仅仅道理、头脑的领会,被带回到我们重生的灵里。主越从我们的灵扩展到我们的魂,浸透我们的心思、意志和情感,我们就越有分于禧年的享受。2当我们经历林后三章十八节和罗马十二章二节,就是在我们的魂里经历变化时,我们就享受禧年。你有否看见禧年是甚么?禧年乃是从辖制得著释放,并进入对三一神的享受。我们重生的时候就开始经历这禧年。藉著重生,我们从辖制得著释放,并进入对三一神的享受。但我们重生后不久,许多人被瞎眼的教师误引,失去了禧年的享受。现今在主的恢复里,我们已经回到我们重生的灵里,并开始在我们的魂里经历变化。按照保罗在林后三章十八节的话,我们渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像,就是主的形像,从一种程度的荣耀,到另一种程度的荣耀。当我们从一种程度的荣耀往前到另一种程度的荣耀时,我们很兴奋,因为我们往前的时候,就更从辖制得著释放,且更完满的进入对三一神的享受。这就是为著享受禧年而有的变化。这种变化由主耶稣在黑门山上的变化形像所描绘。
9Many believers, after being regenerated, have been misled into caring for doctrine merely in a mental way. As a result, they have lost their enjoyment of the jubilee. However, we in the Lord’s recovery have been brought back from theology and from mere doctrinal, mental understanding to our regenerated spirit. The more the Lord spreads from our spirit into our soul, saturating our mind, will, and emotion, the more we participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee. As we experience Corinthians 3:18 and Romans 12:2, that is, as we are being transformed in our soul, we enjoy the jubilee. Have you seen what the jubilee is? The jubilee is a release from bondage and the entering into the enjoyment of the Triune God. We began to experience this jubilee when we were regenerated. Through regeneration we were released from bondage and entered into the enjoyment of the Triune God. But soon after we were regenerated, many of us were misled by blind teachers, and we lost the enjoyment of the jubilee. Now in the Lord’s recovery we have come back to our regenerated spirit, and we have begun to experience transformation in our soul. According to Paul’s word in 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are being transformed into the same image, the image of the Lord, from one degree of glory to another. As we go on from one degree of glory to another degree, we are excited because as we progress we participate more in the release from bondage and enter more fully into the enjoyment of the Triune God. This is transformation for the enjoyment of the jubilee. This transformation is depicted by the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus on Mount Hermon.
10在九章二十三、二十四节主说,『若有人要跟从我,就当否认己,天天背起他的十字架,并跟从我。因为凡要救自己魂生命的,必丧失魂生命;凡为我丧失自己魂生命的,必救了魂生命。』背十字架跟从主,以及否认自己的魂生命,乃是使自己与祂的死联合。主的死除去天然的生命与旧造,好使我们进入新造,进入变化形像的光景。在变化形像的光景里,我们有分于禧年的享受。因此,要享受禧年,就需要变化形像。
10In 9:23 and 24 the Lord says, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his soul life will lose it, but whoever loses his soul life for My sake, this one shall save it.” To bear our cross to follow the Lord and to deny our soul life is to identify ourselves with His death. The Lord’s death crosses off the natural life and the old creation so that we may enter into the new creation, into a transfigured condition. Here, in a transfigured state, we participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee. Hence, for the enjoyment of the jubilee there is the need of transfiguration.
11变化形像与神的国主对祂的门徒说到与祂的死联合之后,就接著说,『我实在告诉你们,站在这里的,有人还没有尝到死味,必看见神的国。』(路九27。)这应验于主在山上的变化形像。这就是说,祂的变化形像,就是神国的来临。
11TRANSFIGURATION AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD After speaking to His disciples about being identified with His death, the Lord went on to say, “But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who shall by no means taste death until they see the kingdom of God” (9:2 7). This was fulfilled by the Lord’s transfiguration on the mountain. This means that His transfiguration was the coming of the kingdom of God.
12路加九章二十八、二十九节说,『说了这话以后,约有八天,耶稣带著彼得、约翰和雅各,上山去祷告。正祷告的时候,祂的面貌就不同了,衣服闪耀白色。』闪耀,直译,如同闪电闪光。这两节没有用『变…形像』一辞,与马太十七章和马可九章不同。但我们在这两节实在能看见主变化形像。祂的变化形像就是神国的来临、显现。我们已经强调过,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。人救主的变化形像,实际上就是这国的显现。当彼得、约翰和雅各在主变化形像的气氛里,他们就是在神的国里。所以彼得对主说『夫子,我们在这里真好。』(路九33。)在那时刻,彼得、约翰和雅各的确有分于禧年的的享受。他们得著释放,并在对三一神的享受里。
12Luke 9:28 and 29 say, “And about eight days after these words, it came about that He took with Him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray. And it came about that as He prayed the appearance of His face became different, and His garment dazzling white.” Literally, the Greek words rendered “dazzling white” mean flashing like lightning. Unlike Matthew 17 and Mark 9, these verses do not use the word “transfigured.” Nevertheless, in these verses we certainly can see the Lord’s transfiguration. His transfiguration was the coming, the appearing, of the kingdom of God. We have emphasized the fact that 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. The Man- Savior’s transfiguration actually was the appearing of this kingdom. When Peter, John, and James were in the atmosphere of the Lord’s transfiguration, they were in the kingdom of God. This was the reason Peter said to the Lord, “Master, it is good for us to be here” (Luke 9:33). At that juncture, Peter, John, and James certainly participated in the enjoyment of the jubilee. They were released and were in the enjoyment of the Triune God
看见变化形像
SEEING TRANSFIGURATION
与禧年有关
AS RELATED TO THE JUBILEE
13少有基督徒看见,主耶稣的变化形像是神国的显现,也是禧年。看见这点对我们罪常重要。主耶稣基督现今活在我们里面。我们可以说,祂再一次成了肉体,这次是在我们里面。所以,就一面说,祂既活在我们里面,就再次在肉体里,在我们的肉体里。我们都是肉体,主耶稣就活在其中,所以,需
13Not many Christians have seen that the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus was the appearing of the kingdom of God and was also the jubilee. It is very important for us to see this. The Lord Jesus Christ now lives in us. We may say that He has again become incarnated, this time in us. Therefore, in a sense, as the One who lives in us, He is once again in the flesh, in our flesh. We are all the flesh in which the Lord Jesus lives. Therefore, there is the need of another transfiguration.
14要有另一次的变化形像。
14
15大多数基督徒对于主的变化形像都知道一点,但他们仅仅在道理上知道这事。我们若鸟瞰整卷路加福音,并按照四章所宣告禧年的原则来看,就会看见九章的变化形像与禧年有关。在九章二十七至三十六节,谁完满的享受了禧年?门徒中只有彼得、约翰和雅各三位,有这完满的享受。然而,虽然这三位有分于并享受了禧年,但他们还是非常天然。主耶稣变化了形像,但彼得、约翰和雅各并没有变化形像。因此,他们虽在禧年里,但实际上他们并不认识禧年,因为他们还没有变化形像。我们需要有深刻的印象,人救主的变化形像与禧年有关,也是神国的显现。因为彼得、约翰和雅各还没有变化,他们能有分于禧年,对禧年却没有正确的领会。这三个门徒仍在旧造里,仍在天然的生命里。
15Most Christians know something about the Lord’s transfiguration. But they know this merely in a doctrinal way. If we have a bird’s-eye view of the entire Gospel of Luke and view it according to the principle of the jubilee declared in chapter four, we shall see that the transfiguration in chapter nine is related to the jubilee. Who in 9:27-36 had the full enjoyment of the jubilee? Only three of the disciples had this full enjoyment— Peter, John, and James. However, although these three participated in the jubilee and enjoyed it, they were still very natural. The Lord Jesus was transfigured, but Peter, John, and James were not transfigured. Thus, although they were in the jubilee, they did not actually know anything about it, because they had not yet been transfigured. We need to be impressed that the transfiguration of the Man - Savior is related to the jubilee and is also the appearing of the kingdom of God. Because Peter, John, and James had not yet been transformed, they could participate in the jubilee without having the proper realization concerning it. These three disciples were still in the old creation, still in the natural life.
主赶出一人之子的污鬼
THE LORD CASTING A DEMON
OUT OF A MAN’SS ON
16当主在山顶上变化形像时,门徒在山下正设法赶出污鬼。虽然他们尽所能要赶出那鬼,但是他们作不到。门徒中只有彼得、约翰和雅各三位,与主一同在山上有分于禧年,其他的人留在山下。这是救主从山顶下来时所面对的光景。路加九章三十七节说,当主和三个门徒下了山,有大批的群众迎见祂。然后『群众中间有一个人喊叫说,夫子,求你看顾我的儿子,因为他是我的独生子;看哪,他被灵抓住,就忽然喊叫,灵又叫他抽疯,口中流沫,并且重重的伤害他,难以离开他。我求过你的门徒把这灵赶出去,他们却是不能。』(路九38~40。)这里我们看见,门徒没有能力赶出那鬼。不只留在山下的九个门徒是这样,就连跟主在山顶上的彼得、约翰和雅各也是这样。约翰和雅各带头议论谁为大,这事实指明他们自己被魔鬼霸占,因此无法赶出那鬼。
16While the transfiguration was taking place on the mountaintop, down in the valley the disciples were trying to cast out a demon. Although they did what they could to cast out the demon, they were not able to cast it out. Only three of the disciples—Peter, John, and James—were on the mountain with the Lord to participate in the jubilee. The others remained in the valley. This was the situation the Savior faced when He came down from the mountaintop. Luke 9:37 says that when the Lord and the three disciples came down from the mountain, a great crowd met Him. Then “a man from the crowd called out, saying, Teacher, I beg You to look upon my son, for he is my only child; and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it convulses him with foaming; and crushing him, with difficulty it departs from him. And I begged Your disciples that they would cast it out, and they could not” (vv. 38-40). Here we see that the disciples did not have the ability to cast out the demon. This was true not only of the nine who remained in the valley, but also of Peter, John, and James who were with the Lord on the mountaintop. The fact that John and James took the lead to argue who was greater indicates that they themselves were occupied by the Devil and thus were unable to cast out the demon
17有主耶稣就有禧年。然而,因著门徒仍在旧造里,仍在天然的生命里,他们就无法有分于禧年。这指明只要我们留在天然的生命里,活在旧造里,我们就无法分享禧年。禧年与天然的生命无分无关。按照九章四十一节,主耶稣说,『唉,不信且悖谬的世代!我在你们这里,忍耐你们要到几时?把你的儿子带到这里来罢。』然后耶稣就斥责那污灵,医好那孩子,交还给他父亲。(路九42。)四十三节论到这事说,『众人都诧异神的威荣。』
17The jubilee was present with the Lord Jesus. However, because the disciples were still in the old creation, still in the natural life, they could not participate in the jubilee. This indicates that as long as we remain in the natural life and live in the old creation, we cannot share in the jubilee. The jubilee has nothing to do with the natural life. According to 9:4 1 the Lord Jesus said, “O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” Then He rebuked the unclean spirit, cured the boy, and gave him back to his father (v. 42). Concerning this, verse 43 says, “And all were astounded at the majesty of God.”
第二次揭示祂的死
UNVEILING HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION THE SECOND TIME
18『耶稣所作的一切事,众人正希奇的时候,祂对门徒说,你们要把这些话存在耳中,因为人子将要被交在人手里。』(路九43下,44。)主在这里第二次揭示祂的死。然而,门徒『不明白这话,这话对他们是隐藏的,叫他们不能领会,他们也不敢问这话的意思。』(路九45。)此后,圣经立刻告诉我们:『门徒中间起了议论,谁将为大。』(路九46。)这的确指明门徒不知道他们在那里。他们必定不在禧年里,因为他们还是非常天然。主耶稣已经指明祂将要受死,祂也指明门徒必须与祂同死。这里主似乎说,『我必须受死,好成就禧年,你们也需要受死,好有分于禧年。我不死就没有禧年,你们若不与我同死,就无法有分于禧年。』
18While “all were marveling at all the things which He did He said to His disciples, Put these words into your ears; for the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men” (vv. 43b, 44). Here the Lord unveils His death the second time. However, the disciples did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him concerning this saying” (v. 45). Immediately afterward, we are told that “a reasoning came in among them as to which of them would be greater” (v. 46). This certainly indicates that the disciples did not know where they were. They certainly were not in the jubilee, for they were still very natural. The Lord Jesus had indicated that He was about to die. He also indicated that it was necessary for the disciples to die with Him. Here the Lord seemed to be saying, “I must die in order to accomplish the jubilee, and you need to die in order to participate in the jubilee. Without My death there will not be a jubilee, and without your death with Me you cannot participate in the jubilee
门徒不能听主的话
THE DISCIPLES UNABLE TO HEAR
THE LORD’SWORD
19虽然主吩咐门徒『要把这些话』存在耳中,但他们没有能力听主所说的。他们不能明白祂的话,他们不能领会。他们中间起了议论,谁将为大,(路九46,)这事实指明他们没有能力明白主所说的。
19Although the Lord had told the disciples to “put these words” into their ears, they did not have the ability to hear what He was saying. They could not understand His word; they could not perceive it. Their inability to understand what the Lord was saying is indicated by the fact that they were reasoning among themselves concerning which of them would be greater (v. 46).
20路加九章四十七至四十八节说,『耶稣看出他们心中的议论,就领过一个小孩子来,叫他站在自己旁边,对他们说,凡因我的名接待这小孩子的,就是接待我;凡接待我的,就是接待那差我来的;你们中间最小的,他便为大。』主一说了这些话,约翰就应声说,『夫子,我们看见一个人在你的名里赶鬼,我们就禁止他,因为他不与我们一同跟从你。』(路九49。)约翰的话指明门徒不能接受主的话。我们可以说,他们不会欣赏主弹奏的『音乐。』他们不能接受主的话,原因乃是他们是天然的,仍在旧造里。他们没有禧年,他们还不彀格有分于禧年的享受。惟有藉著基督的死与复活,禧年馋能实施。不仅如此,我们惟有在基督的死里与祂联合,才能有分于禧年的享受。为著禧年并经历禧年,主必须受死,我们也必须与祂同死。祂受死以成就禧年,我们与祂同死好有分于禧年的享受。我们读路加福音时需要看见,四章所宣告的禧年乃是解释整卷书的钥匙。已往我在这卷福音里看见禧年,但我没有看见四章的禧年是解释以下各章的钥匙。
20Luke 9:47-48 says, “And Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their heart, took hold of a little child and stood it beside Himself, and said to them, Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for he who is littler among you all, this one is great.” As soon as the Lord spoke these words, John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us” (v. 49). John’sword indicates that the disciples could not receive the Lord’sword. We may say that they could not appreciate the “music” He was playing. The reason they could not take in the Lord’sword was that they were natural and still in the old creation. With them there was no jubilee. They were not yet qualified to participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee. The jubilee can be carried out only through Christ’s death and resurrection. Furthermore, only through our identification with Christ in His death can we share in the enjoyment of the jubilee. For the jubilee and the experience of the jubilee, it was necessary for the Lord to die and for us to die with Him. He died for the accomplishment of the jubilee, and we died with Him in order to participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee. In reading the Gospel of Luke, we need to have the view that the jubilee declared in chapter four is the key to interpreting the entire book. In the past I saw the matter of jubilee in this Gospel; however, I did not see that the jubilee in chapter four was the key to interpreting all the following chapters
与基督同死,好有分于禧年的享受
DYING WITH CHRIST TO PARTICIPATE IN the enjoyment of the jubilee
21在九章五十节时,主在加利利的职事完成了。我们会看见,从九章五十一节开始,祂离开加利利往耶路撒冷去。你认为主完成祂在加利利的职事时,彼得、约翰、雅各和其他门徒都在禧年的享受里么?他们完全不在这享受里,他们无法明白主论到祂受死的话。主必须与他们同去耶路撒冷,祂要在那里受死以成就禧年,而门徒要在那里与祂同死,好有分于禧年的享受。
21At the time of 9:50 the Lord’s ministry in Galilee was completed. As we shall see, beginning in 9:51, He left Galilee for Jerusalem. Do you think that when the Lord completed the section of His ministry in Galilee, Peter, John, James, and the other disciples were in the enjoyment of the jubilee? They were not at all in this enjoyment. They could not understand the Lord’sword concerning His death. It was necessary for the Lord to go with them to Jerusalem where He would die to accomplish the jubilee and where the disciples would die with Him in order to participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee.
22我们在九章已经看见,门徒虽然在禧年里,却无分于禧年的享受。实际上,禧年还没有成就,因为惟有藉著基督的死,并在祂的复活里,禧年才得以成就。所以,至终主定意同祂的门徒从加利利往耶路撒冷去。祂去耶路撒冷受死,但祂不是独自去那里受死。祂乃是带著祂的门徒与祂同去,使他们看见,祂必须受死以成就禧年,他们也必须死,好有分于禧年的享受。
22In chapter nine we have seen that although the disciples were in the jubilee, they did not have any participation in the enjoyment of the jubilee. Actually, the jubilee had not yet been accomplished, for it could only be accomplished by the death of Christ and in His resurrection. Therefore, eventually the Lord decided to go from Galilee to Jerusalem with His disciples. He went to Jerusalem to die, but He did not go there to die alone. Rather, He brought His disciples with Him so that they would realize that it was necessary for Him to die for the accomplishment of the jubilee and also necessary for them to die to participate in the enjoyment of the jubilee
