《圣经》典故之二十：重见光明？

The scales fell from his eyes， 从眼睛上掉下鳞片；比喻重见光明。

出自《新约·使徒行传 Act》9章。 〔原文〕 扫罗从地上起来，睁开眼睛，竟不能看见甚么。有人拉他的手，领他进了大马色。三日不能看见，也不吃，也不喝。……亚拿尼亚就去了，进入那家，把手按在扫罗身上说：“兄弟扫罗，在你来的路上，向你显现的主，就是耶稣，打发我来，叫你能看见，又被圣灵充满。”扫罗的眼睛上，好像有鳞立刻掉下来，他就能看见，于是起来受了洗。吃过饭就健壮了。

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

其实，我们稍微细心就能看到，宗教早期，往往伴随着治病救人，而且总会以一种神秘力量存在。例如道教施符救人，穆斯林教的救人奇迹也多见。由此可见，中外一也。
