| The United States Surgeon General Jerome Adams was interviewed on Sunday. In that interview, he said it was fitting that he was being interviewed on Palm Sunday, at the beginning of Christanity’s “Holy Week,” because “this is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives, quite frankly. This is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment. Only, it’s not going to be localized, it’s going to be happening all over the country. And I want America to understand that.” |
美国卫生总署杰罗姆·亚当斯上周日接受访谈。在那次访谈中他说在棕榈主日，就是基督教的“圣周”开始之时，接受采访正是时候，因为“坦白说，这将是美国最艰难最伤心的一个星期。这将是我们的珍珠港时刻，我们的911时刻。唯一的区别是，这不再是只发生于局部地区，而是蔓延全国。我希望美国人民理解这一点。” |
| I am not here to comment on the accuracy of his statement or whether or not Adam’s prediction will come true. I am here to say that CoronaVirus has captured our attention. We all see it. We look for the latest updates on what is happening. We can check the numbers. There is a tracker – number of those who tested positive, number of those who have died, number of hospital beds still available. We look and look. But we are not meant to look only there. We are not meant to merely stare at the problem. Death and disease and pandemics came into the world because of sin. Sin is the disease behind the disease and the problem behind all problems. And Jesus came to be the solution. No vaccine can cure our main problem – there is only one Savior for that. And that is where we will look today. |
我在这里无意评论他的说法是否准确或他的预言会不会成真。我在这里想说，新冠病毒已经捕获了我们的注意力。我们都看着它。我们等着疫情更新。我们追踪各种数字的变化：确诊人数、死亡人数、病床数。我们看了再看。但我们绝不是只看那些。我们不是只盯着问题。死亡和疾病以及全球瘟疫来到这个世界是因为罪。罪是疾病背后的疾病，问题背后的问题。耶稣来是要解决这个问题。没有疫苗可以医治我们主要的问题——只有唯一的救主可以解决。这就是我们今天要定睛瞩目的地方。 |
| Robert Murray McCheyne said that for every one look at yourself, you should take 10 looks at Christ. For every one look at CoronaVirus we need to take ten looks at Christ. I am praying that this service of worship right now will help you do just that. When everything looks dark, look to Jesus. We are going to take seven looks at him in the Gospel of Mark. |
罗伯特·默里·麦金尼牧师说你每看自己一眼，就要看基督十眼。对于每个人来说，我们看冠状病毒一眼，就要看基督十眼。我在祈祷当下这场敬拜会帮助你这样做。当一切看起来黑暗时，请定睛耶稣。我们要在马可福音中七次定睛耶稣。 |
| 1. The Garden (Mark 14:26-42) |
1.花园（马可福音14:26-42） |
| 26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 29 Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same. 32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” |
26 他们唱完了诗，就出来，往橄榄山去。 27 耶稣对他们说：“你们都要后退，因为经上记着：‘我要击打牧人， 羊群就分散了。’ 28 但我复活以后，要比你们先到加利利去。” 29 彼得对他说：“就算所有的人都后退，我却不会。” 30 耶稣对他说：“我实在告诉你，就在今天晚上，鸡叫两遍以前，你会三次不认我。” 31 彼得更坚决地说：“就算必须与你一同死，我也决不会不认你！” 众人也都这样说。 32 他们来到一个地方，名叫客西马尼；耶稣对门徒说：“你们坐在这里，我去祷告。” 33 他带了彼得、雅各、约翰一起去，就惊惧起来，非常难过。 34 于是对他们说：“我的心灵痛苦得快要死了；你们要留在这里，也要警醒。” 35 耶稣稍往前走，俯伏在地上祷告：如果可能的话，使那时刻不要临到他。 36 他说：“阿爸、父啊，你凡事都能作，求你叫这杯离开我。但不要照我的意思，只要照你的旨意。” 37 耶稣回来，看见门徒睡着了，就对彼得说：“西门，你睡觉吗？ 你连一个小时也不能警醒吗？ 38 应当警醒、祷告，免得陷入试探；你们心灵虽然愿意，肉体却是软弱的。” 39 耶稣又去祷告，说的也是同样的话。 40 他再回来的时候，看见门徒睡着了；因为他们十分疲倦，不知道该怎样回答他。 41 耶稣第三次回来，对他们说：“你们还在睡觉休息吗？ 够了，时候到了，看哪，人子要被交在罪人手里了。 42 起来，我们走吧！ 出卖我的人来了。” |
| Look at him praying in the garden sweating drops of blood in anguish. This is the key moment on Thursday night. His body would be crucified on Good Friday, but his will was surrendered and crucified on Maundy Thursday as others are sleeping, he is fully awake and fully alone in prayer with the Father and with finality says, “yet not my will, but your will be done” |
看祂在花园里祷告，因着痛苦汗滴如血。这是周四晚上的关键时刻。祂的身体要在受难日周五被钉十字架，但祂的意志已经交托被钉于濯足节的周四晚上，那时其他人都已昏昏入睡，只有祂完全清醒，独自一人向父神祷告，祷告的最后说：“但不要照我的意思，只要照你的旨意。” |
| 2. The Betrayal (Mark 14:43-50) |
2.被卖（马可福音14:43-50） |
| 43 And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, “Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 And they all left him and fled. |
43 耶稣还在说话的时候，十二门徒中的犹大和一群拿着刀棒的人来到了；他们是祭司长、经学家和长老派来的。 44 出卖耶稣的人给他们一个暗号，说：“我跟谁亲吻，谁就是他。你们把他逮捕，小心带去。” 45 犹大来到，立刻上前对耶稣说：“拉比！” 就跟他亲吻。 46 他们就动手拿住耶稣，逮捕了他。 47 站在旁边的人中有一个拔出刀来，砍了大祭司的仆人一刀，削掉了他的一只耳朵。 48 耶稣对他们说：“你们带着刀棒出来，把我当作强盗捉拿吗？ 49 我天天在殿里教导人，跟你们在一起，你们却没有捉拿我；但这是为了要应验经上的话。” 50 门徒都离开他逃跑了。 |
| Look at him as he is betrayed by Judas. Look at him as he is deserted by his closest followers – those who with false bravado swore they would ever turn their backs on him. It looks like things are coming apart at the seams… but look again. Look back and see earlier that same evening and proved he would be in control of all that happened when he prophesied these things down to the last detail (17-21). |
看祂被犹大出卖的时候。看祂被最亲密的追随者们遗弃——这帮人还信誓旦旦地说永远都不会背弃祂。这一切看起来就要土崩瓦解了……但请再看一看。回头看一下同一天傍晚，当你看到祂所预言的这一切都在应验（17-21节），就证明一切都在祂的掌握之中。 |
| 17 And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” |
17 到了晚上，耶稣和十二门徒来了。 18 他们坐着吃饭的时候，耶稣说：“我实在告诉你们，你们中间有一个跟我一起吃饭的人要出卖我。” 19 他们就很忧愁，一个一个地问他：“是我吗？” 20 耶稣对他们说：“他是十二门徒里的一个，和我一同把手蘸在盘子里的。 21 正如经上指着人子所说的，他固然要离世，但出卖人子的那人有祸了！ 他没有生下来还好。” |
| 3. The Council (Mark 14:53-65) |
3.公会（马可福音14:53-65） |
| 53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 61 But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they all condemned him as deserving death. 65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him with blows. |
53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里，所有的祭司长、长老和经学家都聚集在一起。 54 彼得远远地跟着耶稣，直到大祭司的官邸，和差役一同坐着烤火。 55 祭司长和公议会全体都寻找证据控告耶稣，要把他处死，却没有找着。 56 有许多人作假证供控告他，但他们的证供各不相符。 57 有几个人站起来，作假证供控告他说： 58 “我们听他说过：‘我要拆毁这座人手所造的圣所，三日之内要另建一座不是人手所造的圣所。’” 59 就是这样的见证，他们也不一致。 60 大祭司站起来，走到中间，问耶稣：“这些人作证控告你的是甚么呢？ 你怎么不回答呢？” 61 耶稣却不作声，甚么也不回答。大祭司又问他：“你是那受称颂者的儿子基督吗？” 62 耶稣说：“我是。你们要看见人子，坐在权能者的右边，驾着天上的云降临。” 63 大祭司就撕开自己的衣服，说：“我们还要甚么证人呢？ 64 你们都听见这亵渎的话了。你们认为怎么样？” 众人都定他该死的罪。 65 于是有些人就向他吐唾沫，蒙住他的脸。用拳头打他，对他说：“你说预言吧！” 差役把他拉去，用手掌打他。 |
| Look at him as the Jewish Council looks and looks for something that they can use to condemn him. They are desperately trying to find something to make a charge stick – anything stick – yet the witnesses contradict each other. They would not have to look long to find fault in us, but they cannot find it in the sinless one. Watch as the high priest demands that Jesus confess if he is the Messiah. Jesus says, “I am.” Watch as they tear their clothes, cry out that he blasphemes, and get ready to carry out their judgment against him. |
看祂在犹太公会面前，他们到处寻找什么东西可以用来控告祂。他们想尽一切办法要让指控成立——不择手段地成立——然而证供各不相符。他们可能很快就能在我们身上找到罪证，但在这个无罪的人身上找不到。请注意看大祭司要求耶稣承认自己是不是弥赛亚。耶稣说：“我是。”请注意看他们撕裂衣服，大喊亵渎了，预备好了要执行对祂的审判。 |
|
| But look again. They condemn him as a liar and blasphemer, but he is telling the truth. Those who think they are judge over him – he says to them the tables will be turned and they will one day see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven as the judge over them. |
但是，请再看一看，他们谴责祂为骗子和渎神者，但实际上祂说的是真话。对于那些自以为正在审判祂的人——祂说将来局面要反转，有一天他们将看到人子驾着天上的云降临来审判他们。 |
|
| They begin to carry out their sentence. They are not content to blaspheme and condemn God in the flesh as some kind of fraud, but many hands are raised to wound him and many words are hurled to hurt him. They mock him and strike him and say, “prophesy, who hit you?” But look outside in the courtyard and hear his prophesy come true. |
他们开始执行他们的判决。他们并不满足于亵渎和谴责道成肉身的神，把祂当作骗子，而是有许多手举起来伤害祂，许多言语吐出来攻击祂。他们嘲弄祂，打祂，并说：“你说预言吧，谁打了你？”但看看外面的院子里，听听祂的预言正在应验。 |
|
| 4. The Denial (Mark 14:66-72) |
4.不认主（马可福音14:66-72） |
| 66 And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed. 69 And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” 71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept. |
66 彼得在下边院子的时候，大祭司的一个婢女来了， 67 看见彼得烤火，就瞪着他说：“你也是和拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的！” 68 彼得却否认说：“我不知道，也不明白你在说甚么！” 他就走出去，到了前院，鸡就叫了（有些抄本无“鸡就叫了” 一句）。 69 那婢女看见他，又对站在旁边的人说：“这个人也是他们一伙的。” 70 彼得还是不承认。过了一会，站在旁边的人也对彼得说：“你真是他们一伙的，因为你也是加利利人。” 71 彼得就发咒起誓说：“我不认得你们说的这个人！” 72 立刻鸡就叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶稣对他说过的话：“鸡叫两遍以前，你要三次不认我。” 他一想起来，就哭了。 |
| Jesus stood before the high priest, but Peter could not even stand before the high priest’s servant girl. He says he does not know him, he does not know him, he calls down a curse on himself and swears an oath that he does not know him. Look again as the rooster crows, exactly like Jesus said. Look as Jesus looks at Peter, and now Peter looks at Jesus – they lock eyes and Peter knows, and Peter weeps bitterly and runs. The strength of our resolve cannot save us. |
耶稣站在大祭司面前，但彼得却连在大祭司的婢女面前都站立不住。他说他不认识祂，他不认识祂，甚至发咒赌誓说不认识祂。再看一看，鸡叫了，一切正如耶稣所预言的。看一看，当耶稣看着彼得，彼得也看着耶稣——他们互相注视着，彼得明白了，他放声大哭，跑了。我们再大的决心也拯救不了我们自己。 |
|
| 5. Pilate (Mark 15:1-15) |
5.彼拉多（马可福音15:1-15） |
| 1 And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.” 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” 5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed. 6 Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. 7 And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. 8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. 9 And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. 12 And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13 And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” 14 And Pilate said to them, “Why, What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. |
1 一到清晨，祭司长和长老、经学家以及公议会全体一致议决，把耶稣绑起来，押去交给彼拉多。 2 彼拉多问他：“你是犹太人的王吗？” 耶稣回答：“你已经说了（“你已经说了” 或译：“这是你说的”）。” 3 祭司长控告了他许多事。 4 彼拉多又问他：“你看，他们控告你这么多的事！ 你甚么都不回答吗？” 5 耶稣还是一言不答，使彼拉多非常惊奇。 6 每逢这节期，彼拉多按着众人所要求的，照例给他们释放一个囚犯。 7 有一个人名叫巴拉巴，和作乱的人囚禁在一起，他们作乱的时候，曾杀过人。 8 群众上去，要求彼拉多援例给他们办理。 9 彼拉多回答他们：“你们要我给你们释放这个犹太人的王吗？” 10 他知道祭司长是因为嫉妒才把耶稣交了来。 11 祭司长却煽动群众，宁可要总督释放巴拉巴给他们。 12 彼拉多又对他们说：“那么，你们称为犹太人的王的，你们要我怎样处置他呢？” 13 他们就喊着说：“把他钉十字架！” 14 彼拉多说：“他作了甚么恶事呢？” 众人却更加大声喊叫：“把他钉十字架！” 15 彼拉多有意讨好群众，就释放了巴拉巴给他们，把耶稣鞭打了，交给他们钉十字架。 |
| Look again as Pilate knows he is innocent. He knows that the religious leaders handed him over out of petty jealousy. But watch as Pilate is spineless and caves into the pressure of the crowd and hands Jesus over to be beaten and scourged. It looks brutal and we cry out – why? What evil has he done? What is the point of all this pain? But look again and listen as Isaiah has something to say – we have done evil, we have turned everyone to his own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all – by his scourging we are healed. |
再来看一看，当彼拉多知道祂是无辜的。他知道宗教领袖们把祂逮捕交给他是出于嫉妒。但请注意看彼拉多出于懦弱，向群众的压力妥协，把耶稣交给士兵殴打和鞭打。那很残酷，我们哭喊着：为什么？祂做了什么恶事？所有这些痛苦为了什么？但是，请再看一看，听一听以赛亚（53章）说了什么——我们作了孽，我们各人偏行己路，耶和华为我们罪孽的缘故把祂压伤——因祂的鞭伤我们得医治。 |

| 6. Crucifixion (Mark 15:16-32) |
6.钉十字架（马可福音15:16-32） |
| 16 And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion. 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. 21 And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. 29 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him. |
16 士兵把耶稣带进总督府的院子里，召集了全队士兵。 17 他们给他披上紫色的外袍，又用荆棘编成冠冕给他戴上； 18 就向他祝贺说：“犹太人的王万岁！” 19 又用一根芦苇打他的头，向他吐唾沫，并且跪下来拜他。 20 他们戏弄完了，就把他的紫色的外袍脱下，给他穿回自己的衣服，带他出去，要钉十字架。 21 有一个古利奈人西门，就是亚历山大和鲁孚的父亲，从乡下来到，经过那里，士兵就强迫他背着耶稣的十字架。 22 他们把耶稣带到各各他地方（这地名译出来就是“髑髅地”）， 23 拿没药调和的酒给他，他却不接受。 24 他们就把他钉了十字架；又抽籤分他的衣服，看谁得着甚么。 25 他们钉他十字架的时候，是在上午九点钟。 26 耶稣的罪状牌上写着“犹太人的王” 。 27 他们又把两个强盗和他一同钉十字架，一个在右，一个在左。 28 （有些抄本有第 节：“这就应验了经上所说的：‘他和不法者同列。’”） 29 过路的人讥笑他，摇着头说：“哼，你这个要拆毁圣所，三日之内又把它建造起来的， 30 从十字架上把自己救下来吧！” 31 祭司长和经学家也同样讥笑他，彼此说：“他救了别人，却不能救自己； 32 以色列的王基督啊，现在可以从十字架上下来，让我们看见就信吧。” 那和他同钉十字架的人也侮辱他。 |
| Look at those passing by hurling their abuse at him and wagging their heads and saying “Aha. You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” |
请看那些过路的，口吐恶言，摇着头说：“哼，你这个要拆毁圣所，三日之内又把它建造起来的， 30 从十字架上把自己救下来吧！” |
|
| But look again as he spoke of the temple of his body, which is being destroyed now on the cross and will be more than rebuilt – it will be gloriously raised in three days. |
但是请再看一看祂指着圣殿说自己的身体，现在正在十字架上被拆毁，而它得到的不只是重建——它将在三天后复活。 |
|
| Look as the religious leaders taunt him and gloat and sneer and say, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe” (29-32). |
看一看宗教领袖们讥笑祂，幸灾乐祸地嘲讽祂：“他救了别人，却不能救自己； 32 以色列的王基督啊，现在可以从十字架上下来，让我们看见就信吧。”（29-32节） |
|
| But look again as they spoke more than they knew – he could either save himself by coming down from the cross in order to destroy others by calling down angel armies or he could stay on the cross and not save himself so he can save others. Watch as he will not let the mocking take him off mission to save! |
但请再看一看他们所说的他们自己却不知道——祂要么呼召天军下来消灭他人，让自己从十字架上下来而得救，要么待在十字架上，不救自己，为了拯救他人。请注意看，祂不会让嘲笑停止祂拯救的使命。 |
|
| 7. Death (Mark 15:33-47) |
7.死亡（马可福音15:33-47） |
| 33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” 40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. 42 And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45 And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.* |
33 从正午到下午三点钟，遍地都黑暗了。 34 下午三点的时候，耶稣大声呼号：“以罗伊，以罗伊，拉马撒巴各大尼？” 这句话译出来就是：“我的 神，我的 神，你为甚么离弃我？” 35 有些站在旁边的人听见了就说：“看，他呼叫以利亚呢。” 36 有一个人跑去拿海绵浸满了酸酒，绑在芦苇上，递给他喝，说：“等一等，我们看看以利亚来不来救他。” 37 耶稣大叫一声，气就断了。 38 圣所里的幔子，从上到下裂成两半。 39 站在他对面的百夫长，看见他这样断气，就说：“这人真是 神的儿子！” 40 也有些妇女远远地观看，她们之中有抹大拉的马利亚，小雅各和约西的母亲马利亚，以及撒罗米。 41 这些妇女，当耶稣在加利利的时候，就一直跟随他、服事他。此外，还有许多和他一同上耶路撒冷的妇女。 42 到了晚上，因为是预备日，就是安息日的前一日， 43 一个一向等候 神国度的尊贵的议员，亚利马太的约瑟来了，就放胆地进去见彼拉多，求领耶稣的身体。 44 彼拉多惊讶耶稣已经死了，就叫百夫长前来，问他耶稣是不是死了很久。 45 他从百夫长知道了实情以后，就把尸体给了约瑟。 46 约瑟买了细麻布，把耶稣取下，用细麻布裹好，安放在一个从磐石凿出来的坟墓里，又辊过一块石头来挡住墓门。 47 抹大拉的马利亚和约西的母亲马利亚都看见安放他的地方。 |
| Watch him as God’s judgment comes and darkness falls for three hours. Watch as the Father turns his back on his Son. Hear the cry of the beloved Son become the forsaken one and say, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” |
请注意看祂，神的审判降临，黑暗笼罩全地三个小时。注意看，父转过身去不看子。听那蒙爱的子变成了被弃绝的发出的呼喊：“我的 神，我的 神，你为甚么离弃我？” |

| But look again, as the Son is forsaken so we can be accepted. Watch as the fire of God’s wrath falls on him so that it would not fall on us. Watch the blood of the Passover Lamb be smeared on that Cross and look at all of those who take refuge there in him – look again and hear them say, “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Dear friends, when you look at the Virus, you see death. When you look at Jesus today, you think you are seeing death, but look again and see life – eternal life. |
但请再看一看，因着子被弃绝，我们能被悦纳。请注意看，神的怒火落到祂身上，这样才不会落到我们身上。请注意看，逾越节羔羊的血被涂抹在十字架上，看那些以祂为庇护所的人们——再看一看，听他们说：“那些在耶稣基督里的人就不被定罪了。”亲爱的朋友们，当你们看到病毒，就看到了死。今天，当你们看耶稣，你们以为是看着死亡，但请再看一看，就看到了生命——永恒的生命。 |
