2010 Jan 22~24 醫好傷心的人

“Bind Up the Broken-hearted” “醫好傷心的人” Jan 24, 2010

Scriptures: Luke (路加福音) 4: 14-21

¹⁴Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. ¹⁵He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. ¹⁶He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. ¹⁷The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: ¹⁸"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, ¹⁹ to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." ²⁰Then he rolled up the scroll gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, ²¹and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

¹⁴ 耶 穌 滿 有 聖 靈 的 能 力 ， 回 到 加 利 利 ； 他 的 名 聲 就 傳 遍 了 四 方 。 ¹⁵ 他 在 各 會 堂 裡 教 訓 人 ， 眾 人 都 稱 讚 他 。 ¹⁶ 耶 穌 來 到 拿 撒 勒 ， 就 是 他 長 大 的 地 方 。 在 安 息 日 ， 照 他 平 常 的 規 矩 進 了 會 堂 ， 站 起 來 要 念 聖 經 。 ¹⁷ 有 人 把 先 知 以 賽 亞 的 書 交 給 他 ， 他 就 打 開 ， 找 到 一 處 寫 著 說 ： ¹⁸ 主 的 靈 在 我 身 上 ， 因 為 他 用 膏 膏 我 ， 叫 我 傳 福 音 給 貧 窮 的 人 ； 差 遣 我 報 告 ： 被 擄 的 得 釋 放 ， 瞎 眼 的 得 看 見 ， 叫 那 受 壓 制 的 得 自 由 ，¹⁹ 報 告 神 悅 納 人 的 禧 年 。 ²⁰ 於 是 把 書 捲 起 來 ， 交 還 執 事 ， 就 坐 下 。 會 堂 裡 的 人 都 定 睛 看 他 。 ²¹ 耶 穌 對 他 們 說 ： 今 天 這 經 應 驗 在 你 們 耳 中 了 。

Sermon Outline:

• The beginning of the public ministry of Jesus
• in John (ch.2), Jesus was placed in a messy wedding;
• in Mark (ch.1), Jesus demonstrated in power and authority by casting out an evil spirit;
• in Matthew (ch.5), Jesus began by preaching for repentance;
• in Luke (4: 14-21), Jesus taught in the synagogue of his home town Nazareth
• 耶穌開始在公開場合傳道
• 耶穌在一個混亂的婚禮;(約翰福音第二章)
• 耶穌用逐出邪靈來展示自己的大能力和權威; (馬可福音第一章)
• 耶穌開始傳講悔改;(馬太福音第五章)
• 耶穌在祂的家鄉拿撒勒各會堂裏教訓人;( 路加福音4:14-21)

• Synagogues were places for Jewish prayer and worship. A town could establish a synagogue if there were at least ten men. Often, the OT scripture was read and discussed in the synagogue by the men who were present.

猶太教堂是猶太人祈禱和崇拜的地方。如果一城市有10人以上，就可以建
立一個猶太教堂。通常情況是，出席聚會的人都可在猶太教堂裏宣讀和討
論舊約聖經。

• There are significant differences between what Jesus read and what was written in Isaiah
• the phrase ‘to bind up the broken-hearted’ was omitted
• the second half of verse 2 in Isaiah 61 was cut out; it reads ‘[to proclaim] the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn’
• 耶穌讀的和以賽亞所寫的有幾處顯著的不同
• “醫好傷心的人”這句話被省略
• 以賽亞書61章第二小節後半段被切斷 ， 內容是[宣告]和我們 神報仇的日子，安慰一切悲哀的人。
• These omissions contributed to the tension in that room, as Luke described, “the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him” (v.20)

這些遺漏導致那個房間裡的緊張局勢，如同路加福音裏描述 “會 堂 裡 的 人 都 定
睛 看 他。”(v.20)

• Jesus proclaimed, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." (v.21)

耶穌對他們說: “今 天 這 經 應 驗 在 你 們 耳 中 了。” (v.21)

• What was left unsaid can be as important as what was said.

沒有被說出來的話，可當作已被說出的話一樣重要。

• The focus of Jesus’ ministry is on the poor, the prisoners, the blind and the oppressed.

耶穌宣教重點是放在窮人，囚犯，瞎眼的和被壓迫的。

• The ‘year of the Lord’s favor’ is a description of the year of Jubilee (Lev 25:10). The year of the total forgiveness of debt is now turned into a metaphor for salvation. Jesus had come to proclaim that God was ready to forgive sin totally.

“神悅納人的禧年” 在利未記25:10也有此形容。現在這　”禧年”- 罪的寬恕
已演變成救贖的隱喻。耶穌在這裡宣告，上帝願意完全原諒我們的罪。

• To the broken-hearted and those who mourn, God comforts them not through promises of vengeance, but through the promise of ‘Jubilee’.

對那些心碎的和哀痛的人，上帝安慰他們不要透過許諾要報復，而是透過
承諾要赦免。
