見證Accounts

八個走到盡頭的人。Eight people at the end of their options.

這些不是勵志故事。它們是記載——有名字、有年數、有花光的積蓄、有被人叫住口的時候。留意每一段裡最不像宗教的細節:那通常才是重點。These are not inspirational stories. They are records — with names, with the number of years, with the savings spent, with the moment someone was told to be quiet. Notice the least religious detail in each account; that is usually where the point is.

摸衣裳邊的女人The Woman Who Touched the Hem The Woman Who Touched the Hem

十二年,花盡所有,反倒更重。她從人群背後伸出手。

Twelve years, every penny spent, and worse instead of better. She reached from behind the crowd.

馬可福音 5:25-29Mark 5:25-29

有一個女人,患了十二年的血漏, 在好些醫生手裡受了許多的苦,又花盡了他所有的,一點也不見好,病勢反倒更重了。 他聽見耶穌的事,就從後頭來,雜在眾人中間,摸耶穌的衣裳, 意思說:我只摸他的衣裳,就必痊愈。 於是他血漏的源頭立刻乾了;他便覺得身上的災病好了。

A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes. For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.” Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

馬可福音 5:33-34Mark 5:33-34

那女人知道在自己身上所成的事,就恐懼戰兢,來俯伏在耶穌跟前,將實情全告訴他。 耶穌對他說:女兒,你的信救了你,平平安安的回去罷!你的災病痊愈了。

But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

這是聖經中少有由病人主動發起的醫治。耶穌沒有責備她的方式,反而停下整個行程,讓她說完自己的故事。醫治包含被聽見。This is one of the few healings initiated by the sufferer. Jesus does not rebuke her method; He halts everything so she can tell her whole story. Healing includes being heard.

睚魯的女兒Jairus’ Daughter Jairus’ Daughter

一個父親跪在路上,然後壞消息追上了他。

A father on his knees in the road — and then the news caught up with him.

馬可福音 5:22-24Mark 5:22-24

有一個管會堂的人,名叫睚魯,來見耶穌,就俯伏在他腳前, 再三的求他,說:我的小女兒快要死了,求你去按手在他身上,使他痊愈,得以活了。 耶穌就和他同去。有許多人跟隨擁擠他。

Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.” He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

馬可福音 5:35-36Mark 5:35-36

還說話的時候,有人從管會堂的家裡來,說:你的女兒死了,何必還勞動先生呢? 耶穌聽見所說的話,就對管會堂的說:不要怕,只要信!

While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?” But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”

馬可福音 5:41-42Mark 5:41-42

就拉著孩子的手,對他說:大利大,古米!繙出來就是說:閨女,我吩咐你起來! 那閨女立時起來走。他們就大大的驚奇;閨女已經十二歲了。

Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!” Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

「不要怕,只要信。」這句話是在最壞的消息已經傳到之後說的。信心不是無視現實,而是在現實之上仍然選擇仰望。“Be not afraid, only believe” is spoken after the worst news has already arrived. Faith is not the denial of reality but a choice made on top of it.

瞎子巴底買Bartimaeus Bartimaeus

眾人叫他不要出聲,他卻越發大聲喊。

They told him to be quiet. He cried out all the more.

馬可福音 10:46-48Mark 10:46-48

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。 他聽見是拿撒勒的耶穌,就喊著說:大衛的子孫耶穌阿!可憐我罷! 有許多人責備他,不許他作聲。他卻越發大聲喊著說:大衛的子孫哪,可憐我罷!

They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road. When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!” Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

馬可福音 10:51-52Mark 10:51-52

耶穌說:要我為你作甚麼?瞎子說:拉波尼(就是夫子),我要能看見。 耶穌說:你去罷!你的信救了你了。瞎子立刻看見了,就在路上跟隨耶穌。

Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the way.

耶穌問他:「要我為你做什麼?」明明看得見的需要,仍要他親口說出來。醫治往往從說出真正想要什麼開始。Jesus asks, “What do you want me to do for you?” — a need already obvious, still required to be named. Healing often begins with saying aloud what you actually want.

被四個朋友抬來的癱子The Paralytic and His Four Friends The Paralytic and His Four Friends

門進不去,他們就拆了屋頂。

The door was blocked, so they took the roof apart.

馬可福音 2:3-5Mark 2:3-5

有人帶著一個癱子來見耶穌,是用四個人抬來的; 因為人多,不得近前,就把耶穌所在的房子,拆了房頂,既拆通了,就把癱子連所躺臥的褥子都縋下來。 耶穌見他們的信心,就對癱子說:小子,你的罪赦了。

Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

馬可福音 2:11-12Mark 2:11-12

我吩咐你,起來!拿你的褥子回家去罷。 那人就起來,立刻拿著褥子,當眾人面前出去了,以致眾人都驚奇,歸榮耀與神,說:我們從來沒有見過這樣的事!

“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

經文說「耶穌見他們的信心」——他們的,不只是他的。有些人得醫治,是因為身邊有人不肯放棄他。The text says Jesus saw their faith — theirs, not only his. Some people are healed because someone else refused to give up on them.

乃縵:在約但河下去七次Naaman: Seven Times in the Jordan Naaman: Seven Times in the Jordan

一個將軍期待一場儀式,得到的卻是一條泥河。

A general expected a ceremony and was handed a muddy river.

列王紀下 5:10-112 Kings 5:10-11

以利沙打發一個使者,對乃縵說:你去在約但河中沐浴七回,你的肉就必復原,而得潔淨。 乃縵卻發怒走了,說:我想他必定出來見我,站著求告耶和華 ─ 他神的名,在患處以上搖手,治好這大痲瘋。

Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.” But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.’

列王紀下 5:13-142 Kings 5:13-14

他的僕人進前來,對他說:我父啊,先知若吩咐你做一件大事,你豈不做麼?何況說你去沐浴而得潔淨呢? 於是乃縵下去,照著神人的話,在約但河裡沐浴七回;他的肉復原,好像小孩子的肉,他就潔淨了。

His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’” Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

乃縵幾乎因為醫治的方式太平凡而錯過它。神常用不體面的途徑成事,好讓我們無法把功勞歸給自己。Naaman nearly missed his healing because the method was too ordinary. God often works through undignified means, so that the credit cannot be misplaced.

畢士大池邊三十八年Thirty-Eight Years at Bethesda Thirty-Eight Years at Bethesda

「你要痊癒嗎?」他先回答的是自己為何一直好不了。

“Do you want to be made whole?” His first answer was a list of reasons why he never was.

約翰福音 5:5-9John 5:5-9

在那裡有一個人,病了三十八年。 耶穌看見他躺著,知道他病了許久,就問他說:你要痊瘉麼? 病人回答說:先生,水動的時候,沒有人把我放在池子裡;我正去的時候,就有別人比我先下去。 耶穌對他說:起來,拿你的褥子走罷! 那人立刻痊愈,就拿起褥子來走了。

A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

他的回答並不是「要」。長期的病會塑造一個人的身分認同;耶穌沒有等他答對,就叫他起來。He never actually says yes. Long illness shapes identity; Jesus does not wait for the right answer before telling him to rise.

十個長大痲瘋的人The Ten Lepers The Ten Lepers

十個得潔淨,一個回來道謝。

Ten were cleansed. One came back.

路加福音 17:12-14Luke 17:12-14

進入一個村子,有十個長大痲瘋的,迎面而來,遠遠的站著, 高聲說:耶穌,夫子,可憐我們罷! 耶穌看見,就對他們說:你們去把身體給祭司察看。他們去的時候就潔淨了。

As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance. They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.

路加福音 17:15-19Luke 17:15-19

內中有一個見自己已經好了,就回來大聲歸榮耀與神, 又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他;這人是撒瑪利亞人。 耶穌說:潔淨了的不是十個人麼?那九個在那裡呢? 除了這外族人,再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與神麼? 就對那人說:起來,走罷!你的信救了你了。

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?” Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

十個都得了醫治,但只有那一個聽見「你的信救了你」。感恩不改變醫治的事實,卻改變醫治在你裡面留下什麼。All ten were healed; only one heard “your faith has made you whole.” Gratitude does not change the healing — it changes what the healing leaves behind in you.

迦南婦人的堅持The Persistence of the Canaanite Woman The Persistence of the Canaanite Woman

她被拒絕了一次、兩次,仍然留在原地。

She was turned away once, twice — and stayed where she was.

馬太福音 15:22-25Matthew 15:22-25

有一個迦南婦人,從那地方出來,喊著說:主阿,大衛的子孫,可憐我!我女兒被鬼附得甚苦。 耶穌卻一言不答。門徒進前來,求他說:這婦人在我們後頭喊叫,請打發他走罷。 耶穌說:我奉差遣不過是到以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。 那婦人來拜他,說:主阿,幫助我!

Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!” But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.” But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

馬太福音 15:27-28Matthew 15:27-28

婦人說:主阿,不錯;但是狗也吃他主人桌子上掉下來的碎渣兒。 耶穌說:婦人,你的信心是大的!照你所要的,給你成全了罷。從那時候,他女兒就好了。

But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

這是福音書中最令人不安的對話之一,結局卻是耶穌稱讚她的信心。神不怕我們的堅持,也不怕我們的追問。It is one of the most uncomfortable dialogues in the Gospels, and it ends with Jesus commending her faith. God is not threatened by our persistence, nor by our questions.
