Jun 22【每日活水】勇敢表明自己基督徒的身份

马太福音26：57~68

耶稣在公会里受审(可14：53-65；路22：54-55、63-71；约18：13-14、19-24)

57拿耶稣的人把他带到大祭司该亚法那里去；文士和长老已经在那里聚会。

58彼得远远地跟着耶稣，直到大祭司的院子，进到里面，就和差役同坐，要看这事到底怎样。

59祭司长和全公会寻找假见证控告耶稣，要治死他。

60虽有好些人来作假见证，总得不着实据。末后有两个人前来，说：

61“这个人曾说：‘我能拆毁　神的殿，三日内又建造起来。’”

62大祭司就站起来，对耶稣说：“你什么都不回答吗？这些人作见证告你的是什么呢？”

63耶稣却不言语。大祭司对他说：“我指着永生　神叫你起誓告诉我们，你是　神的儿子基督不是？”

64耶稣对他说：“你说的是。然而，我告诉你们，后来你们要看见人子坐在那权能者的右边，驾着天上的云降临。”

65大祭司就撕开衣服，说：“他说了僭妄的话，我们何必再用见证人呢？这僭妄的话，现在你们都听见了。

66你们的意见如何？”他们回答说：“他是该死的。” 他们就吐唾沫在他脸上，用拳头打他，也有用手掌打他的，说：

67“基督啊！你是先知，告诉我们打你的是谁？”

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

57Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.

58But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

59The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death.

60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.

Finally two came forward

61and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ”

62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”

63But Jesus remained silent.

The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

64 “You have said so,”Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

66What do you think?”

“He is worthy of death,” they answered.

67Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him

68and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”

灵修指南

抓耶稣的人把祂带到大祭司该亚法的家里，他们不是要公正的审判耶稣，而是为了杀害耶稣，不惜用假见证来对耶稣进行不正当的裁决。大祭司为了给耶稣安上亵渎神的罪名，多次提问并施压。然而耶稣没有逃避他们的提问，不仅没有否认自己是神的儿子，更是宣告人子要坐在权能者的右边，驾着天上的云来临。大祭司说耶稣这样的回应是亵渎神、罪证确凿，并允许众人羞辱耶稣、拳脚相向(65~68节)。大祭司为了杀害耶稣，用尽了一切计谋，而耶稣为了拯救世人，没有选择抵抗，反倒默默走上了十字架的道路。事实上，信徒要在生活中全面地活出耶稣的样式、表明自己基督徒的身份，并非易事。但正因如此，我们更需要默想耶稣的样式来得着力量，并为着成就使命，勇敢地向世界承认:“我是基督徒”。盼望我们靠主不畏苦难，坚定承担基督徒的身份及使命。

内室祷告

求神帮助我不畏苦难，勇敢承认并承担基督徒的身份及使命。
