马太福音2:13~18
逃往埃及
13他们去后,有主的使者向约瑟梦中显现,说:「起来!带着小孩子同他母亲逃往埃及,住在那里,等我吩咐你;因为希律必寻找小孩子,要除灭他。」
14约瑟就起来,夜间带着小孩子和他母亲往埃及去,
15住在那里,直到希律死了。这是要应验主藉先知所说的话,说:「我从埃及召出我的儿子来。」
屠杀男孩
16 希律见自己被博士愚弄,就大大发怒,差人将伯利恒城里并四境所有的男孩,照着他向博士仔细查问的时候,凡两岁以里的,都杀尽了。
17这就应了先知耶利米的话,说:
18在拉玛听见号咷大哭的声音,
是拉结哭她儿女,
不肯受安慰,
因为他们都不在了。
13When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,
15where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
16When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.
17Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18“A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more.”
内容观察
1.约瑟一家遇到怎样的危机?(13,16节)
2.希律的迫害所带来的处境,让福音书的作者想到哪些圣经话语?(15,18节)
思考与默想
个人感受

5.最近,你曾在怎样的苦难中感到无力?
6.为了信靠神来克服危机,你决定怎么做?
在拉玛听见号眺大哭的声音(18节):福音书的作者引用耶利米书31:15的内容,使人联想到以色列人坡掳归回的事件,借此强调在苦难之后必有盼望(参耶31:15~17)
何11:1“以色列年幼的时候,我爱他。就从埃及召我的儿子出来。”
