呼召利未
27 这事以后, YS 出去,看见一个税吏,名叫利未,坐在税关上,就对他说:「你跟从我来。」
29 利未在自己家里为 YS 大摆筵席,有许多税吏和别人与他们一同坐席。
30 法利赛人和文士就向 YS 的MEN TU发怨言说:「你们为什么和税吏并罪人一同吃喝呢?」
31 YS 对他们说:「无病的人用不着医生;有病的人才用得着。
32 我来本不是召义人悔改,乃是召罪人悔改。」
禁食的问题
33 他们说:「约翰的门/徒屡次禁/食祈/祷,法利赛人的MEN TU也是这样;惟独你的MEN TU又吃又喝。」
34 YS 对他们说:「新郎和陪伴之人同在的时候,岂能叫陪伴之人禁食呢?
35 但日子将到,新郎要离开他们,那日他们就要禁/食了。」
36 YS 又设一个比喻,对他们说:「没有人把新衣服撕下一块来补在旧衣服上;若是这样,就把新的撕破了,并且所撕下来的那块新的和旧的也不相称。
37 也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里;若是这样,新酒必将皮袋裂开,酒便漏出来,皮袋也就坏了。
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”Jesus said to him,
28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.
30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Jesus Questioned About Fasting
33 They said to him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”
34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?
35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast.”
36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.39And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’ ”
1.法利赛人和文士如何非议 YS 的门/徒?(30,33节)
2. YS 说,他来是要召怎样的人悔改?(31~32节)
3. YS 为什么要对法利赛人和文士讲新衣服和新皮袋的比喻?
4.看到法利赛人和文士执著于宗/教规条,忙于论断他人,却不明白真理,我有什么感想?
5.我何时曾因宗/教习俗而论断他人?
6.为了摒弃/宗教习俗这个旧皮袋,活出以fu yin为中心的生活,我决定要怎么做?
没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋裡(37节):当时人们为了长期保存新酒,必须使其发酵,当新酒在皮袋中发酵时,会产生二氧化碳,导致气压上升,旧皮袋因为其弹性降低而容易被胀破,所以必须使用新皮袋。
法利赛人和文士多次非议 YS 及其门/徒的行为(30,33节)。在他们看来,与罪人一起吃喝,以及不常禁食祈/祷,与当时的宗/教习俗相去甚远。对此, YS 用新衣服和新皮袋的比喻来唤醒这些被宗教习俗束缚住的人们(36~37节)。他指出,遵行律/法和追求个人的敬虔,不知不觉成为了论断他人的标准。又说,法利赛人和文士所执著的宗/教习俗是陈旧的皮袋,无法承载fu yin的新酒,因此,必须要把新酒装在富有弹性的新皮袋里。我们若要活出 YS 所传的fu yin,就要警惕不要被陈旧的宗/教习俗所束缚,尤其要时刻警醒,不要用自己所持的宗/教标准来论断他人,而要反思自己的信/仰样式是否成了容易胀破的旧皮袋,盼望我们都是那能够装下fu yin新酒的新皮袋。
愿我不被陈旧的宗/教习俗所束缚,成为能够完整装载fu yin的新皮袋。
