《約翰福音》Day31
《祂為誰受傷？》
1 當下彼拉多將耶穌鞭打了。 2 兵丁用荊棘編做冠冕戴在祂頭上，給祂穿上紫袍， 3 又挨近祂，說：「恭喜，猶太人的王啊！」他們就用手掌打祂。 4 彼拉多又出來對眾人說：「我帶祂出來見你們，叫你們知道我查不出祂有甚麼罪來。」 5 耶穌出來，戴着荊棘冠冕，穿着紫袍。彼拉多對他們說：「你們看這個人！」 6 祭司長和差役看見祂，就喊着說：「釘祂十字架！釘祂十字架！」彼拉多說：「你們自己把祂釘十字架吧！我查不出祂有甚麼罪來。」 7 猶太人回答說：「我們有律法，按那律法，祂是該死的，因祂以自己為神的兒子。」 8 彼拉多聽見這話，越發害怕， 9 又進衙門，對耶穌說：「祢是哪裏來的？」耶穌卻不回答。 10 彼拉多說：「祢不對我說話嗎？祢豈不知我有權柄釋放祢，也有權柄把祢釘十字架嗎？」 11 耶穌回答說：「若不是從上頭賜給祢的，祢就毫無權柄辦我。所以，把我交給祢的那人罪更重了。」 12 從此，彼拉多想要釋放耶穌，無奈猶太人喊着說：「你若釋放這個人，就不是凱撒的忠臣。凡以自己為王的，就是背叛凱撒了。」 13 彼拉多聽見這話，就帶耶穌出來，到了一個地方，名叫「鋪華石處」，希伯來話叫厄巴大，就在那裏坐堂。 14 那日是預備逾越節的日子，約有午正。彼拉多對猶太人說：「看哪，這是你們的王！」 15 他們喊着說：「除掉祂！除掉祂！釘祂在十字架上！」彼拉多說：「我可以把你們的王釘十字架嗎？」祭司長回答說：「除了凱撒，我們沒有王。」 16 於是彼拉多將耶穌交給他們去釘十字架。(約翰福音十九1-16)
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head. They clothed Him in a purple robe 3 and went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped Him in the face. 4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.” 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” 6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take Him and crucify Him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against Him.” 7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law He must die, because He claimed to be the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace. “Where do You come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 “Do You refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t You realize I have power either to free You or to crucify You?” 11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” 12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.” 13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews. 15 But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered. 16 Finally Pilate handed Him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. (John 19:1-16)
分享【祂明明可以不受傷】
耶穌被鞭打、戴上荊棘冠冕、被戲弄羞辱。群眾不斷喊著：「釘祂十字架！」(v.6) 然而，耶穌卻沒有反抗，也沒有為自己辯護。祂就這樣一步一步走向十字架。其實，耶穌完全有能力逃離。祂曾使兵丁後退倒地，也曾行過無數神蹟。但這一刻，祂選擇沉默，不是因為軟弱，而是因為順服。祂知道，自己所走的，是救恩的道路。
很多時候，我們看見的是耶穌所受的痛苦，卻容易忽略：祂本來不需要承受這一切。祂沒有犯罪，卻承受羞辱；祂沒有錯，卻被定罪。十字架最大的震撼，不只是耶穌受苦，而是祂願意為人受苦。請緊記，耶穌不是為自己的罪受傷，而是為我們走上十字架。祂所承受的刑罰，本來是屬於我們的
【釋經亮點】
彼拉多把被鞭打、戴著荊棘冠冕的耶穌帶到群眾面前，說：「你們看這個人！」(v.5) 為什麼彼拉多要這樣做呢？他這樣做，很可能是想引起群眾的同情，希望事情到此為止。因為彼拉多其實知道耶穌沒有罪 (參十八38；十九4) ，他也不想真的把耶穌處死。所以，他先鞭打耶穌，再把滿身傷痕的耶穌帶出來，似乎想向群眾表達：「祂已經夠慘了，放過祂吧。」換句話說，彼拉多想用耶穌的痛苦，去平息群眾的憤怒。
然而，當祭司長和差役看見受傷的耶穌後，卻反而更大聲喊著：「釘祂十字架！」(v.6) 這顯出一件很可怕的事：當人心決定拒絕耶穌時，即使看見祂的痛苦，也未必會產生憐憫。更深一層來看，彼拉多口中的「你們看這個人」，其實也像是在讓世人看見：耶穌願意為人承受何等羞辱與傷害。人以為自己正在羞辱耶穌，卻不知道，耶穌正是在這羞辱中完成救恩。
今天，再次看著耶穌被鞭打的經文，我又看見什麼？
反思：當我看見耶穌受傷時，我是否明白，祂其實是為我走上十字架？我是否仍然輕看自己的罪？
禱告：主耶穌，感謝祢甘願為我受傷、受辱、走上十字架。很多時候，我習慣了十字架的信息，卻忘記祢本來不需要承受這一切。求祢讓我重新看見祢愛的重量，也讓我不再輕看自己的罪。願我不只是感動，更願意真正回應祢的恩典，學習跟隨祢。以上禱告，奉主耶穌的名求，阿們。
