《馬可福音》Day14

《重複的提醒》

32 他們行路上耶路撒冷去。耶穌在前頭走,門徒就希奇,跟從的人也害怕。耶穌又叫過十二個門徒來,把自己將要遭遇的事告訴他們說: 33「看哪,我們上耶路撒冷去,人子將要被交給祭司長和文士,他們要定祂死罪,交給外邦人。 34 他們要戲弄祂,吐唾沫在祂臉上,鞭打祂,殺害祂。過了三天,祂要復活。」

35 西庇太的兒子雅各、約翰進前來,對耶穌說:「夫子,我們無論求祢甚麼,願祢給我們做。」 36 耶穌說:「要我給你們做甚麼?」 37 他們說:「賜我們在祢的榮耀裏,一個坐在祢右邊,一個坐在祢左邊。」 38 耶穌說:「你們不知道所求的是甚麼。我所喝的杯,你們能喝嗎?我所受的洗,你們能受嗎?」 39 他們說:「我們能。」耶穌說:「我所喝的杯,你們也要喝;我所受的洗,你們也要受; 40 只是坐在我的左右,不是我可以賜的,乃是為誰預備的,就賜給誰。」 41 那十個門徒聽見,就惱怒雅各、約翰。 42 耶穌叫他們來,對他們說:「你們知道,外邦人有尊為君王的,治理他們,有大臣操權管束他們。 43 只是在你們中間,不是這樣。你們中間,誰願為大,就必作你們的用人; 44 在你們中間,誰願為首,就必作眾人的僕人。 45 因為人子來,並不是要受人的服事,乃是要服事人,並且要捨命作多人的贖價。」

46 到了耶利哥;耶穌同門徒並許多人出耶利哥的時候,有一個討飯的瞎子,是底買的兒子巴底買,坐在路旁。 47 他聽見是拿撒勒的耶穌,就喊着說:「大衛的子孫耶穌啊!可憐我吧!」 48 有許多人責備他,不許他作聲。他卻越發大聲喊着說:「大衛的子孫哪,可憐我吧!」 49 耶穌就站住,說:「叫過他來。」他們就叫那瞎子,對他說:「放心,起來!他叫你啦。」 50 瞎子就丟下衣服,跳起來,走到耶穌那裏。 51 耶穌說:「要我為你做甚麼?」瞎子說:「拉波尼,我要能看見。」 52 耶穌說:「你去吧!你的信救了你了。」瞎子立刻看見了,就在路上跟隨耶穌。(馬可福音十32–52)

32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again He took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to Him. 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,” He said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock Him and spit on Him, flog Him and kill Him. Three days later He will rise.”

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want You to do for us whatever we ask.” 36 “What do you want me to do for you?” He asked. 37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at Your right and the other at Your left in Your glory.” 38 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?” 39 “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.” 41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and His disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. 51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. (Mark 10:32-52)

分享【門徒仍未明白】
當耶穌帶著門徒上耶路撒冷時,祂第三次清楚預告自己將受苦、被殺並復活。然而門徒仍然沒有真正明白。雅各與約翰更提出請求,希望在耶穌的榮耀中坐在祂左右。這一幕與前面門徒爭論「誰為最大」幾乎如出一轍。耶穌談論十字架,門徒卻仍在思想地位。

這樣的情節其實並不是第一次出現。馬可多次描寫門徒聽見耶穌的教導,卻未真正理解。每當門徒顯出遲鈍或錯誤的期待,耶穌便再次教導神國真正的道路 —— 不是權力,而是服事與捨己。接著,經文又出現一個熟悉的畫面:瞎子得醫治。巴底買雖然看不見,卻認出耶穌是「大衛的子孫」,並且呼求祂的憐憫。當他的眼睛被打開後,他立刻跟隨耶穌。

馬可似乎刻意重複這樣的結構:門徒不明白、耶穌教導、瞎子得看見。這不只是敘事安排,而是一個屬靈象徵 —— 真正需要被醫治的,不只是身體的眼睛,而是門徒的心眼。

釋經亮點】
從整卷《馬可福音》的脈絡來看,「門徒不明白 → 耶穌教導 → 瞎子看見」其實是作者刻意鋪排的敘事主線。

書卷前半部記載耶穌行許多神蹟,門徒也親身參與其中,但馬可多次指出他們仍然「不明白」,甚至說他們「心裡愚頑」(參六52) 。到了第八章,耶穌更直接問門徒:「你們還不明白嗎?」就在這樣的背景下,馬可安排了伯賽大瞎子得醫治的故事,而且是分兩步才看清 (參八22-26),象徵門徒的屬靈眼睛正逐漸被打開。

隨後耶穌三次預告自己將受苦與被殺,但門徒仍然爭論誰為大,顯示他們對彌賽亞的理解仍停留在榮耀與地位上。直到接近耶路撒冷時,馬可再次記載瞎子巴底買得醫治 (參十46-52)。與門徒形成對比的是,巴底買雖然肉眼看不見,卻認出耶穌是「大衛的子孫」,並且在得醫治後立刻跟隨祂。馬可藉此提醒讀者:正的看見,不只是認出耶穌的身份,而是願意跟隨祂走向十字架的道路。

反思:我是否像門徒一樣,聽見卻未真正明白?我的信仰是否仍然被地位與成功的想法影響?今天,我是否願意讓主打開我的心眼?

禱告:主耶穌,求祢打開我屬靈的眼睛,使我不只聽見祢的話,也真正明白祢的心意。當我的心被地位、成功或自我佔據時,求祢提醒我十字架的道路。讓我像巴底買一樣,在看見祢之後,願意起來跟隨祢。以上禱告,奉主耶穌的名求,阿們。
