23 August 八月| Luke 路4:31-44

What two facts about Jesus particularly impressed the people in

the synagogue? Note also the even more discerning testimony of

the demons (v34, 41). Why did Jesus silence this?

This passage illustrates the busyness and urgency of Jesus’

mission (esp. v43). Why then did he retire to a lonely place (v42)?

Cf., in this Gospel, 5:16; 6:12; 9:18, 28; 11:1; etc. What can we

learn from this example?

Note:

v40. The Jewish day ended at sunset. The people waited until the Sabbath was over,

and then brought their sick for healing.

哪两件关于耶稣的事实，特别会使会堂里的人感到惊奇呢？

也注意那些鬼魔所作的更具洞察力的见证（34, 41节）。

耶稣为什么要他们不许作声呢？

这段经文描述了耶稣传道工作的忙碌与迫切（特别参考43

节）。那么，祂为何要退到旷野的地方去呢（42节。比较5：16，6：12，9：18,28；11：1等处）？

从这个例子，我们可以学到什么教训呢？

注：

40节。犹太人的安息日到日落时终止。众人一直等到安息日过去了，然后才把

他们的病人带来求医治。

22 August 八月| Luke 路4:14-30

v16–21. Jesus speaks to the people of Nazareth, his own home

town. What does his use of Is. 61:1, 2 teach them of his mission?

Why is the claim of v21 so startling?

v22–30. The people were moved but not convinced (v22).

How did Jesus interpret to them their unspoken thoughts (v23),

and what did he go on to imply (v25–27)?

What made them so angry?

16-21节。耶稣对祂家乡拿撒勒的人说话。有关祂的使命，

祂借赛61：1-2说明了什么？v.21的宣称为何如此令人诧异？

22-30节。民众们受到感动，但幷不相信（v.22），

耶稣如何向他们解释藏在他们心中的话（v.23）？

他又如何继续暗示他们（vv. 25-27）？

他们为何如此生气？

21 August 八月| Luke 路4:1-13

The temptation came immediately after the revelation of 3:22, and at

the start of Jesus’ ministry. What light does this throw on the devil’s

challenge, ‘if you are the Son of God’ (4:3, 9)?

Consider the special subtlety of each temptation, and the means by

which Jesus in each case countered them. Cf. Eph. 6:17. What does this

teach us for our own defence against temptation?

What can we learn from this passage about the nature of temptation?

When temptation may come, what circumstances the tempter may use

(4:2), etc. How does the passage show that temptation is not sin?

请注意耶稣受试探的时间，是紧接着3：22的显示之后，并且是

耶稣开始传道的开头。这件事对魔鬼所提出「你若是神的儿子」

（4：3，9）的挑战，投下了什么亮光呢？

试思考每一个试探特别诡谲的地方，和耶稣每一次用以抵挡其

攻击的方法。比较弗6：17。这对于我们自己抵挡试探有什么教

训呢？

对于诱惑的本质，我们从这段经文可以学到什么教训呢？例如，

注意诱惑什么时候会来临，那试探者会利用哪一种环境（4：2）

等等。这段经文如何显明试探本身不是罪？
