《使徒行傳的NPC》Day 02
替補接棒的NPC
21 「所以,主耶穌在我們中間始終出入的時候, 22 就是從約翰施洗起,直到主離開我們被接上升的日子為止,必須從那常與我們作伴的人中立一位與我們同作耶穌復活的見證。」 23 於是選舉兩個人,就是那叫做巴撒巴,又稱呼猶士都的約瑟,和馬提亞。 24-25 眾人就禱告說:「主啊,祢知道萬人的心,求祢從這兩個人中,指明祢所揀選的是誰,叫他得這使徒的位分。這位分猶大已經丟棄,往自己的地方去了。」 26 於是眾人為他們搖籤,搖出馬提亞來;他就和十一個使徒同列。(使徒行傳一21-26)
1 我這作長老、作基督受苦的見證、同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的,勸你們中間與我同作長老的人:2 務要牧養在你們中間上帝的群羊,按著上帝旨意照管他們;不是出於勉強,乃是出於甘心;也不是因為貪財,乃是出於樂意;3 也不是轄制所託付你們的,乃是作群羊的榜樣。4 到了牧長顯現的時候,你們必得那永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。(彼得前書五1-4)
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. (Act 1:21-26)
1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. (1 Peter 5:1-4)
