The Circle Dwellers PodcastEpisode 9 - You MUST Commit to your ChurchWhat if the Gospel isn’t just about getting saved—but about being joined into a new family? In this episode of the Circle Dwellers podcast, Matt and Timothy Krell of the Protestant Monastic Order of Life Mission Fellowship challenge popular Western views of church, individualism, and spirituality. Drawing from Scripture, Trinitarian theology, and voices like David deSilva and James Torrance, they argue that Christian life is inherently communal—and that real discipleship requires costly, daily commitment to a local body of believers.

成人信仰教育-胡志彊牧師+有影無聲文章分享-詹俊裕長老客座成人主日學-5-2025-0330 -我是誰？--五餅二魚的耶穌
我是誰？-五餅二魚的耶穌
一、耶穌行動中的人性與神性
馬可講述的福音充滿耶穌「受苦僕人」的形象；同時，耶穌在馬可的筆觸下充滿「人性」[1]，特別是人性軟弱的部分。這使得馬可的「福音」有很大的反差感。一個救贖的勝利，不是由大能力的超越者完成；反而是透過一個充滿人性掙扎的人子來成就。
此外，馬可福音的耶穌是一個行動派，「立刻εὐθύς」[2]這個字在該書被使用的次數是全新約之冠；這不單讓敘事的節奏緊湊，更顯示耶穌在職事急迫性。因此，本次課程不直接從教會人、神二性的基督論來切入，而嘗試從耶穌的行動來討論他是誰，看到馬可的耶穌在人性與神性的交織。
二、他是誰-跨越邊界的行動
耶穌在加利利的傳道，透過他的行動展現其權柄，藉以向眾人演繹「他是誰？」這個問題。當然，「權柄」與「邊界」是一體兩面的事情。猶太人無不受到妥拉、律法的傳統影響，這些「準則」也成為「邊界」規範他們的生活與價值觀。
那麼有誰可以碰觸這些邊界呢？耶穌透過「跨越」的行動，展現他有上帝而來的權柄。文本中，本人認為馬可敘事中，耶穌在兩大段落碰觸邊界的問題：第一次是在受試探回來後，初次呼召門徒、展現趕鬼醫病開始；第二次則是受差遣十二使徒回來後，耶穌的名聲遠播，「他是誰？」的疑問再次浮現開始。
-第一次跨越界線：從權柄到律法邊界（1:14-3:12）
馬可福音裡，耶穌初次登台就出現一連串的作為、神蹟展現自己的與眾不同。就當時圍觀耶穌的群眾而言，這些事件不只稀奇，是會更直覺地閃過一個疑問：這個人是誰，為何有能力做到這些事？這就涉及到權柄的問題了。
從1:14開始，耶穌的行動是呼召門徒、趕逐污靈、治熱病、痲瘋病。這些行動都引發群眾發出上述的問題。例如：先知往往是呼召人跟隨神而不是自己，耶穌卻呼召百姓跟隨他；耶穌呼召門徒，很像是聖經中神呼召人的模式：一個命令＋一個應許。趕走污靈代表他能處理，非人界的事。猶太傳統認為熱病代表神罰，只有神的介入才能痊癒。潔淨痲瘋病代表他挑戰律法。
2:1與1:21場景呼應[3]，耶穌更直接碰觸律法的邊界在2:10表明有赦罪的權柄[4]。接下來，耶穌一連串的行動一直在碰觸猶太人的敏感神經，並且為這些行動做出新的詮釋：與稅吏、罪人吃飯（醫生與病人）、禁食的問題（新郎，新與舊）、安息日摘麥穗（人與安息日的關係、人子是安息日的主）。最後，耶穌直接在安息日治病。
-第二次跨越界線：從律法到恩典邊界[5]（6:7-8:21）
耶穌第二次跨越邊界的段落，夾述在兩個分餅敘事的中間。耶穌從法利賽人未洗手的傳統開始挑戰猶太人的潔淨觀。但實質上，馬可的耶穌在此鋪陳下跨越的是恩典的邊界，誰是潔淨的？誰有資格領受上帝的恩典？誰是上帝的選民。「恩典邊界」的敘事從猶太人擴大到外邦人，分餅的故事也從猶太到了外邦。無論是猶太人、外邦人都領如腓尼基婦人一樣分到餅的碎屑。
「分餅」象徵破碎、死亡、分享、與生命。若從跨越邊界的角度來看，耶穌破碎了原有猶太律法、潔淨觀念，這是一種死亡。但也因為這樣恩典得以分享，而使更多人有分於新的生命。這個概念呼應2:21-22新舊難和的比喻、8:34-38跟隨耶穌的方式。
-猶太潔淨的傳統
猶太人對潔淨的觀念和現代社會所認為的「乾淨」、「衛生」的概念不同。在古代，污穢/不潔淨的意義為：「不在位置上」；神聖的規則（律法）是為了要將事物做出「區隔」，並將事物擺放在適當的位置。
利未記 11:46：「我是把你們從埃及地領出來的耶和華，要作你們的上帝。你們要成為聖，因為我是神聖的。」因為上帝是聖潔的存在，聖潔的意義就是「被分別（分別為聖）」，因此以色列人作為上帝的選民要成為神聖的，即是被區隔出來符合上帝的秩序，與上帝的聖潔一致，才能符合上帝選民的身份獲得祝福。
由於上帝是完全的。因此「完全」的概念也就在潔淨的概念中被展現出來。因此身體有殘疾得、不完全的，在這個前提之下都被視為「不潔」（這也就是我們會在聖經裡面看到獻祭的祭物不能有殘疾、受傷），第七章的聾啞人不潔的原因就在這裡；被污靈附身就更不用說，這兩個例子代表著身心上的不完整，因此是不潔的。
這種個人身心完整性的概念也拓展，變成律法、倫理規範、飲食規則、生活準則等，進而變成一種判斷事物的價值觀。猶太人以這些方式判定自己的身心靈與行為是否符合上帝創立的秩序，藉此體會上帝的聖潔與完整性，使自己是潔淨的。但卻也成為一種分類「我」與「他者」的界線、標籤，標示什麼是潔淨與不潔淨的。
三、他不是誰-受苦的人子
如同8:28所提，耶穌傳道時周圍的人也透過已知的人物臆測耶穌的身份是誰。馬可藉由這種狀況，在福音書將耶穌與那些人物做比較，一方面證明「他」不是他們，一方面藉此說明耶穌是誰。
-不是施洗約翰
馬可透過與施洗約翰的對比，點出耶穌並非施洗約翰外（因為他已經死了），也暗示耶穌的職事會步向死亡，「宣揚悔改的到結局就是死」。

15:6-15
-不是摩西和以利亞[6]
耶穌登山變相的故事安插在預言受難的故事中，使得耶穌受苦、榮耀的敘事參半，證明即使他會受難，走向羞辱的十字架道路，但不代表他不榮耀。神的計劃要實現，必然通過受苦與死，但這並非屈辱，而是一種死亡與榮耀並存的狀態。
耶穌
摩西
耶穌帶三個門徒上山（9:2）
摩西與神指定三個人和70個長老上山
（出24:1、9）
耶穌改變形象、衣服發光（9:2-3）
摩西在上帝和他說話後，下山途中臉發光（出34:29）
上帝在雲彩遮蓋中顯現（9:7）
上帝在雲彩遮蓋中顯現（出24:15-16、18）

有聲音在雲彩中說話（出24:16）
耶穌下山，眾人見他感到驚奇（9:15）
摩西下山，眾人見他感到驚奇（出34:30）
馬可福音的耶穌，神性的能力與權柄，並不是以強者、威武凱旋的方式顯現。神的能力是以服務和謙和達至神拯救的計畫。

四、結論-他/祂與人何干？
筆者認為，馬可福音之中沒有人是強者。即便是耶穌，馬可也透過不斷描寫人性的軟弱、死亡來平衡其神性與能力；或著說，耶穌的神性反而是在人性的脆弱中被突顯出來。若非是神，耶穌怎麼能在人性的軟弱下，破碎自己跨越界線，甚至可服恐懼犧牲自己換來眾人的生命呢？筆者認為：馬可福音中耶穌的榮耀不在於他的全能力、而是在他身陷人性軟弱中，他的選擇。他選擇愛、成全、死，因此得到復活。
馬可裡，耶穌神性與人性的雙重性是有意義的，特別是對跟隨他的人而言尤其如此。因為作為信仰基督的我們，勢必會面對人性的軟弱。若這一位基督始終沒有經歷人性的痛苦，他就只是一個與人無關的強者而已；但就是因為他直面人性的軟弱，並且勝過，從死裡得到生命，才能給予信仰者無限的盼望與力量。就如同餅一樣，自身的破碎，卻是使得到他的人得著能力。

成人信仰教育-胡志彊牧師+有影無聲文章分享-詹俊裕長老客座成人主日學-4 -2025-0323 耶穌同「路」人-愚頑的門徒耶穌同「路」人-愚頑的門徒
一、馬可福音的門徒
-馬可筆下的笨門徒
若比較四福音裡共同的故事，我們可以發現馬可的門徒，顯然比馬太、路加、約翰愚笨很多。這個觀察不僅增加讀經的趣味性；同時在信仰上，也讓我們思考馬可突顯門徒的愚笨意義為何。幾處的例子如下供參：
1. 耶穌向門徒解釋撒種比喻的意義。可4:13；太13:18；路8:11
2. 耶穌經過門徒的船。可6:51-52；太14:32-33；約6:20-21
3. 耶穌第二次預言受難。可9:32；太17:22-23；路：45
-門徒很笨的意義：
門徒的笨拙是對耶穌職事和生平遭遇的一種對比。馬可透過勾勒門徒價值觀與耶穌所傳上帝國的概念之間的發展，試圖對所有跟隨耶穌的人拋出一個問題：「你們知道自己求的是什麼嗎？」或「你們真的知道自己跟隨耶穌的動機是什麼嗎？」
畢竟馬可福音的門徒觀，引伸自對耶穌的職事和生平遭遇的認同。神的能力和權柄，並不是以強者、威武凱旋的方式彰顯。神的能力以服務與謙和達致神拯救的計畫。如果神的兒子是受苦僕人的話，祂的跟從者要「爲神做大事」、當領袖，也應致力作「沒力領袖」，不是魅力領袖。[1]
二、馬可福音的「路」
-馬可福音大綱
[1:2-3]序言-福音的起頭（1:1-8）
加利利傳道-耶穌是誰？（1:9-8:21）
[8:22-26]醫治伯賽大的瞎子
加利利往耶路撒冷的路上-耶穌預言受難（8:27-10:45）
[10:46-52]醫治瞎子巴底買
耶路撒冷傳道-耶穌職事（11:1-15:47）
[16:7-8]後記-福音的開始：門徒何往（16:1-8）
筆者認為「路」為馬可福音中一個重要的主題。馬可透過「路」的意象描繪跟隨耶穌的場景，告訴讀者在跟隨基督的路上會遭遇的事。在馬可的筆觸下，信仰基督被比喻成一條跟隨基督的路，而路上追隨者勢必面臨人性的軟弱。因此，愚頑的門徒在「路」的場景中被暗示為受醫治的對象。跟隨基督不單是一個行動，更是生命被淬煉與醫治的過程。
-跟隨之路（頭尾）
馬可福音的結尾16:7-8，見到空墳墓的婦女被指引要前往加利利的「路」上，卻因為恐懼為把耶穌復活的信息傳出去；同時，經文的原文，又以希臘文的「因為」一字做結尾。若是馬可的讀者，一定會知道婦女最後克服了恐懼把信息傳出去，其原因便是耶穌基督是上帝的兒子、福音的起頭。16:8最後一個字「因為」，便成了讀者重讀馬可福音的連接詞。
由此，1:2-3的預言除了暗示施洗約翰之外，也可以有另外一個詮釋方式：
「主的使者=耶穌基督」
「你＝門徒/讀者」
「預備主的道路=（你們）預備主的道路」
當馬可的讀者再一次閱讀馬可福音時，以踏上跟隨之「路」，成為要為主預備他的道、修直他的路的其中一員。
-醫治之路（往耶路撒冷）
馬可福音中，耶穌與門徒前往加利利的「路上」被醫治兩個瞎子的故事包裹起來。值得注意的是，耶穌醫治伯賽大的瞎子兩次才醫好他。從文學的角度來看，這並非是指出耶穌的能力不完全，反而是暗示門徒們此時有如伯賽大的瞎子一樣，看著眼前的耶穌卻又看不清他，把人看成樹木一樣。
反之，瞎子巴底買的醫治一次到位，經文是用「立刻」看得見，且「在路上」[2]就跟隨了耶穌。此也暗示，門徒在8:27-10:45這條路上被醫治，將來也必在路上能看見耶穌，並且真正的真隨他。
三、「路」的終點：「你們知道自己跟隨/要求的是什麼嗎？」
第一堂課有提及，馬可福音的文學結構完整，善於將諸多的耶穌訓言、比喻、事件單元化，突顯作者所要表現的耶穌敘事。以下在8:27-10:45耶穌往加利利的路上，筆者也嘗試以耶穌每一次預言自身受難為段落，將經文單元化，閱讀經文中要表達的內容。
-跟隨的人
耶穌預言自己受苦，使得這條路上耶穌的能力與軟弱參半。門徒如同瞎眼的人，開始在這條醫治的路上接受「想像的耶穌」與「真正的耶穌」兩這間落差的挑戰，從中慢慢得到耶穌的醫治。
有趣的是，該段落的最後一個故事—門徒無法醫治啞巴的孩子，顯出門徒的「信」與「對象」的問題。門徒當然相信自己從耶穌身上分到的權柄，[3]但門徒相信的對象卻是「自己」。
門徒在此之前一直傾向相信他們從耶穌領受的恩賜（6:7），是他們所擁有的東西；可以控制和任意使用的。這種心態源於一種「不易察覺的不信」。[4]一個人成功的時候，總是傾向相信自己和自己的技術，而不是信靠神。門徒的問題是「急於自利」和「自信錯置」，而不是上帝/耶穌透過門徒體現神的權柄與能力。這種自信樂觀的感覺也許有點像是自信，但其實卻是不信；因為這種心態漠視了一個先決條件，就是人要承認自己的無能，才能真正「相信」，要禱告倚靠神[5]。
-沒有跟隨的人
耶穌第二次預言受難，從門徒的爭論與耶穌的回應，看到其涉及人與人之間的權力結構與互動關係。這裡耶穌的教導是涉及群體性的，不只定調跟隨耶穌群體的內涵，在10:1-16的休妻與孩子的故事作為例子，更呈現何為耶穌所傳的上帝國：人若不能關注在他人、甚至是微小、卑微的人身上，只眼著於自己好處，不能進上帝國。[6]
10:17-31財主向耶穌尋求永生在此就別具意義。他一切的律法都守了，但他是個有錢人，就之前課堂上所提是菁英階層的人，該人即便守法但其社會地位與結構，也讓他成為剝削他者的人。耶穌要他變賣家產以及跟隨他，即使要他面對自身的身份，並與非菁英階級的人同在，結束他繼續剝削別人的事實。然而，財主離開了。
因此，該故事並非單指「錢」的問題；該人也並非只是貪財而不跟隨耶穌。耶穌的要求涉及的是社會階級的重構、價值觀的扭轉。作為一個社會階層中的既得利益者，這必然是一件難事。因此耶穌才會在10:23說：「有錢財的人進神的國是何等的難哪！」[7]
-要求與邀請
第三次預言後門徒與耶穌的對話，總括了兩者間的落差。門徒依然執迷不悟；耶穌持續耐心教導他們。在該段落中，10:45是唯一說出耶穌必須受死的原因。
雅各和約翰兄弟來到耶穌面前，表達想當領袖的意願。耶穌在10:38的提問，也算是為這段醫治之路提出最終極的問題，是深入、核心的：「你們知道自己跟隨/要求的是什麼嗎？」是因爲懼怕？怕什麼？還是因爲愛？如果是愛，那究竟是愛誰？愛自己？愛自己的夢想和計畫？愛自己、愛自己夢想和計畫的人，難以成爲別人的奴僕，也會無意識中將別人看成工具或階梯。[8]
四、結論-終點：上帝國
既然門徒看待耶穌的方式和一般人無異，那麼門徒和一般人到底差別在哪？或著說上帝為什麼要呼召笨蛋作為他的門徒？或許，在耶穌與上帝國的奧秘面前，我們每個人都是愚拙的。
馬可福音提醒他的讀者/聽眾，除非體會十字架的意義，不然，無論是誰都不會明白耶穌的身分和職事。只有認同和接受耶穌的受苦的職事，耶穌的跟從者才會經歷神國的能力和奧祕。是以，所謂的奧祕，並不是理性知道與否，而是生命的投入和擺放。
然而，真的要說馬可福音裡面的門徒和一般人的差別，筆者認為即是他們無論是莽夫還是愚頑，或半途背叛耶穌，但他們始終跟在耶穌身邊。耶穌也不吝嗇的給予教導，直到他們意識到自己的「無能/不能」，因而信靠上帝。正如10:27所說，進入神的國其主權在於上帝：「在人不能，在神卻不然，因為在神凡事都能。」[9]

一、馬可隱藏彌賽亞的秘密
馬可福音一開始即破題告訴「讀者」耶穌基督的真實身份就是上帝的兒子。但是在耶穌故事的劇情中，每次耶穌行使大權能和權柄的同時，卻又一再吩咐人們要隱瞞這種能力。每次有人/鬼，認出耶穌身份，耶穌又總是要他們不要公開。這個現象尤其出現在馬可福音的「前半部」。這個特殊的文學鋪陳，被聖經學家稱作「彌賽亞的秘密」。
-彌賽亞秘密
1. 耶穌禁止鬼不要向別人傳他是基督
1:24-25、34；3:11-12
2. 耶穌禁止被他治好，目睹他能力的人不要宣揚
1:44、5:43、7:36、8:36
3. 耶穌禁止門徒向別人傳開他是基督；他是上帝的兒子
8:29-30；9:9
4. 例外
5:18-20[1]；14:61-62[2]
-馬可福音大綱
序言-福音的起頭（1:1-8）
加利利傳道-耶穌是誰？（1:9-8:21）
加利利往耶路撒冷的路上-耶穌預言受難（8:22-10:52）
耶路撒冷傳道-耶穌職事（11:1-15:47）
後記-福音的開始：門徒何往（16:1-8）
馬可透過「不能宣揚」，這種看似隱藏秘密的手法，再次讓讀者思考「耶穌是誰？」的問題。福音書的讀者，是一群信仰基督的群體。照理說他們應該不會不知道耶穌是誰。但為什麼馬可要向一群知道耶穌的人解釋耶穌是誰呢？
二、知道也能誤解
-猶太人對彌賽亞的期待
彌賽亞/基督的意思為「受膏者」—代表神的選立和差派。彌賽亞不是單指君王，在以色列人的歷史中，祭司：亞倫，士師、先知：以利沙，君王：掃羅、大衛和所羅門，都可以是受膏者，甚至外邦君王如波斯王居魯士也在以賽亞書被稱爲彌賽亞（賽45:1）。
在第二聖殿時期[3]撒迦利亞書可以看到兩中類型的彌賽亞。省長所羅巴伯被視爲君王式的彌賽亞、大祭司約書亞視為祭祀的彌賽亞（亞6:9-14）。由此可見，在猶太信仰文化裡，彌賽亞並不一定有超然的含意，而是指被視為神揀選、或透過膏抹儀式確認的宗教和民族領袖。
憧憬將來解放的彌賽亞盼望，在公元前一世紀羅馬稱王的時候愈加明顯。那時候的猶太人期待大衛家及其王權，大衛式彌賽亞統治以色列，打擊仇敵、從敵人手中奪回並潔淨耶路撒冷，讓應許之地歸還予神。這位君王以公義治國，外邦人得見神的榮耀。[4]
聖經中提及的奮銳黨（Zealot）即是在此脈絡之下，是一群猶太信仰熱誠執著的群體；認為神才是民族唯一的領袖跟主宰，致力於爭取擺脫外邦異族的管理。台灣在幾年前有出版「革命分子耶穌：重返拿撒勒人耶穌的生平與時代」即是從奮銳黨的角度出發，描述耶穌在信仰外的另外一個可能的面向。
-門徒對彌賽亞的期待
馬可福音8:29彼得的認信說出耶穌是基督，可以是當時猶太人、門徒揣測耶穌真實身份的終極答案。然而，門徒真正期待的彌賽亞樣子是否與耶穌來到世上要做的事情相同呢？這個答案可以從門徒在耶穌三次預言自己受難後的反應理推敲。
1. 榮耀的耶穌：彼得在耶穌第一次講述受難預言後，拉著他、責備他。（8:32）
2. 恩主的耶穌：門徒在第二次預言受難後，爭論誰為大。想要破除階級鹹魚翻升的門徒，卻試圖創造另一種階級（8:33-34）。雅各和約翰在耶穌第三次預言後，希望分得最大的位子，做最高位的受助者。（10:42-44）
門徒企圖分贓耶穌的權柄得到榮耀，並且取得最大的那一塊，在權力結構的裙帶關係中坐在上層的位子，一人之下萬人之上，做其餘人的恩主。這不就是複製羅馬帝國的結構嗎？如果真的順應猶太人與門徒的期待，耶穌「將被」變成凱撒、門徒變成希律王，變成一種附庸關係。如果真是如此，上帝國和羅馬帝國沒有不同，只是享樂的人換了而已。猶太人與門徒可能沒有意識到，即使有作為上帝選民的傳統，但活在世界當中，思考的模式似乎也與世界一樣。他們期待的彌賽亞不過是另一種獨善其身，壓迫人的帝國罷了。
三、真實的理解—受苦的耶穌
「對於耶穌不想有人傳開的神蹟與身份，更好的解釋是指出：馬可相信，抽離了耶穌的受難，就沒有人能夠理解耶穌的彌賽亞身份；若不消除對『耶穌是基督』這個認信的誤解，若不從受難的角度來看，就沒有人能恰如其分地做門徒。」[5]
1. 恩主制度—無權的耶穌：耶穌透過作眾人的僕人（8:35-37；10:42-45），回應門徒彌賽亞錯誤的想像。同時，耶穌更以接納小孩子（10:37）[6]作為例子，顛覆門徒的價值觀，教導門徒何為耶穌所傳的福音、何為真正的彌賽亞。
2. 榮辱文化—受辱的耶穌：耶穌以三次的預言受難（8:31；9:31；10:33-34），提醒門徒自己受辱的形象，回應門徒在榮辱文化下對於榮耀的想像。[7]耶穌強調的榮耀，並非是世俗的物質、地位、權力等。耶穌的榮耀在於「非利己」的概念上，甚至為了成全他人而承受屈辱。耶穌以自身的行動教導門徒，試圖扭轉榮耀與屈辱的概念，傳遞上帝國的價值為世界帶來改變。
人子的榮耀是世間的大屈辱。上帝的計畫要實現，卻是透過受苦、受死才完成。耶穌的形象是受苦的、孤單的、卑微軟弱的、微小的。耶穌以微小身軀對抗猶太祭司系統、羅馬帝國的體制、整個帝國內的社會價值觀（所有人，甚至包含跟隨祂的門徒）。面對門徒的冥頑不靈、權勢的張狂強大，耶穌的教導和生命看來微不足道。自己的門徒出賣祂、至親的學生不認祂，所有門徒落荒而逃、離祂而去。最後被釘在十架上的耶穌一無所有，就像任何一個罪犯被釘在十架上，耶穌將要被遺忘、湮沒在歷史裡。
就在這一刻，即耶穌露面的第一幕，敘述者提示天裂開了，在耶穌最後這一幕，殿的幔子從上到下裂為兩半。天裂開的時候，天上有聲音說：「你是我的愛子，我喜愛你。」在幔子裂開的時候，站在對面的百夫長看見釘身在十架上的耶穌說：「這人眞是神的兒子」（可15:39）[8]
四、十字架的隱喻---人們期待的彌賽亞
1. 彌賽亞的秘密與誘惑：即使門徒知道耶穌是神兒子，但是不同的理解也會走向不同的結果。耶穌作為另一個凱撒，也可以是神的兒子，有神的恩寵與眷顧，是神在地上的代言人。但那卻不是耶穌真正要做的事情。
2. 十字架的逆轉：十字架在當時是奇恥大辱。榮辱文化脈絡裡，人被釘十字架承受的恥辱，在社群裡面是抬不起頭，甚至無法被接受的。如果他人與被釘十字架的人有關，也是一同地位被貶損。但耶穌基督的死，卻逆反了這個文化，復活是證明神的兒子勝過世俗文化的轄制。唯有上帝的榮要贏過世俗的恥辱。
3. 誰釘死耶穌：耶穌是出於無法滿足猶太人對彌賽亞的期待，而被猶太人送上十字架的話，誤解耶穌的人都有份於這件事，包含跟隨祂的門徒。人的有限使我們不可能不投射自己的想像在耶穌身上，但當我們頑固的以自身想像框架耶穌時，我們也同樣是將耶穌釘在十字架上的人。
五、結論
馬可透過「不能宣揚」，這種看似隱藏秘密的手法，再次讓讀者思考「耶穌是誰？」的問題。福音書的讀者，是一群信仰基督的群體。照理說他們應該不會不知道耶穌是誰。但為什麼馬可要向一群知道耶穌的人解釋耶穌是誰呢？
或許當我們堅持投射自身的想像在耶穌身上時，我們是釘死他的群眾、出賣耶穌的猶大、也是逃跑的彼得。彼得認信耶穌是基督的同時，他也誤解耶穌。如果彼得跟那些群眾一樣，始終到耶穌復活前都是以自己的期待套在耶穌身上，那麼彼得—作為耶穌的追隨者，也是那群把耶穌釘在十字架上的群眾。我們呢？也會是釘死耶穌的人嗎？

** 1 一個耶穌各自表述 福音書的形成 **
2025/3/2 連以諾
一、讀經發現的疑問：
1. 聖經中的福音書為什麼有四本？
2. 為什麼四本福音書包含的內容不太一樣？ 馬可中的希臘人，屬於敘利亞的腓尼基族婦人。（7:24-30） 馬太中的迦南婦人。（15:21-28）
3. 福音書裡面事件的順序不一樣。 馬可： 撒種的比喻（可 4:1-20）>耶穌平靜風和海（可 4:35-41）> 拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌（6:1-6）>差遣 12 使徒（6:7-13）>施洗約翰死（6:14-29） 馬太： 耶穌平靜風和海（8:23-27）>差遣 12 使徒（10:1,5-15）>撒種的比喻（13:1-23）> 拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌（13:53-58）>施洗約翰死（14:1-12） 路加： 拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌（4:16-30）>撒種的比喻（8:4-15）>耶穌平靜風和海（8:22-25）> 差遣 12 使徒（9:1-6）>施洗約翰死（9:7-9）
4. 福音書間記載的內容彼此矛盾，那福音書可信嗎？
二、福音書的形成： -理解福音書形成的小類比 福音從耶穌基督傳道、受難與復活，到門徒開始為主作見證傳福音，到最後福音書 的寫成。我認為可以用以下的故事來類比。一天，教會來了一位朋友 A。我們與朋友 A 一起生活，在服事、團契過程中，我們清楚他的人品與做事態度且頗受好評的，時常在 談論他的時候都讚譽有加。 有一天剛好有一個工作機會，這位朋友 A 也在工作轉換的空窗期。我們深知朋友 A 適合這份工作，也能為各份工作帶來很棒的影響力，因此我們極力的向這份工作的老闆 推薦朋友 A，甚至也寫推薦信過去介紹 A 的優點，希望老闆能夠接納他。 「自介」就如上面故事與朋友 A 的相處。他來到我們當中，除了初次見面自我介紹 外，透過一起生活，我們知道他的為人、性情、做事方式，就如同門徒也在跟隨耶穌的 過程裡，除了聽耶穌講道介紹他自己，也在互動當中認識他。因此，我們有一個自己對 朋友 A 的「印象」，當我們遇到他人，談論到他的時候，就會以自己的印象來介紹他， 就像是門徒向他人見證耶穌基督是誰、他做過的事蹟。「推薦」就像是有目標性的介紹朋 友 A 給那份工作的老闆，我們用自己的經驗向老闆掛保證朋友 A 的為人與事蹟，甚至 針對工作內容的需要，點出朋友 A 的特色；如同門徒四處為人作見證，為了讓世人接納 耶穌基督，根據不同的人的處境，點出耶穌的某一項特質，希望能為對方的生命帶來改 變。推薦信在此，就有如福音書的角色，不是只是口述，而是為耶穌的事蹟留下文字。 值得注意的是：上述的「教會」、「自己的印象」、「這份工作」，都有可能改變我們對 於朋友 A 的描述。 教 會： 代表不同場合、情況下認識朋友 A。同一個人，可能也因為不同 身份而給人不同的印象。 自己的印象： 即便同一個人，不同的人描述出來的他，也會不同。 這份工作： 不同的工作需求，可以想成不同的人。我們會依照對象的不同調 整我們的說法。 上面的解釋可以幫助我們理解，為何聖經中的福音書有四本，繼彼此不同卻又類似。 因為這些書由不同的人寫成、面對不同的對象、要推薦同一位耶穌基督。四本福音書缺 一不可，補足了我們對耶穌基督的認識。 -福音書作為一種文本類型 如果圖書館員要分類，福音書會被歸類為哪種文體呢？詩、散文、文言文、信件還 是雜誌？福音書本身並不是一種既有的「文體」，但卻和第一世紀希羅文化中的「人物生 平/古代傳記（Bios）」有相似的地方，殉道者游斯丁把福音書比喻為「回憶錄」。 然而，第一世紀和現代對傳記的看法不同。
當時書寫傳記的目的有以下幾項：1 （1） 提供一套價值觀或效法模範，有志追求該人物所代表的德行或理想，都可以 學效法。
（2） 消除有關該人物的身分與象徵意義的假象（例如，反駁對手或其他敵對聲音 提出的觀點）。
（3） 保存該人物的言訓及有關該人物的資料
（4） 激發人佩服該人物 如何表述該人物的價值觀、效法方式為當時書寫的目的。因此，雖然基本上人物的 生平大致會依照時序來寫，但是不會嚴格要求事件要按照時間來排序；作者會把人物的 言訓、教導、事件等資料當作素材，再根據書寫的需要重新編輯。因此，若我們以現代 歷史傳記的概念來讀福音書，嚴格把關事件的發生的順序，反而失去了福音書當初寫作 的初衷。 1 David A. DeSilva，《21 世紀基督教新約導論》，152–3。孫寶玲，《新約聖經研究導論》，281–2。
3 -為什麼要寫福音書 耶穌復活之後，直至第一卷福音書寫成，有 30 年的時間；期間耶穌的教導、故事， 是以口傳的方式流傳到信徒群體和世界。2在聖經學者的推論中，福音傳遞的過程，福音 書作者可能面臨到一些狀況，促使他們開始撰寫福音書：3 （1） 口述傳統是憑記憶背誦，但傳播時，實際上確實有傳布不平均的情形4 （2） 傳遞耶穌的教導、生活方式與價值觀 （3） 教導信仰者如何做門徒，維繫教會生活 （4） 回應教會批評者、異端；證明耶穌的權威 （5） 第一代使徒或親身跟隨耶穌的人，年事已高 （6） 有別於書信的形式，以更「普遍的角度」向當時更大的基督徒群體說話5 這邊引述新約學者德席瓦爾的解釋：「嚴格來說，福音書的寫作目的不是歷史性的； 若說福音書的寫作目的是歷史性的，實在講得相當淺。反而，福音書要向已經立志跟從 耶穌的人（或最少暫時表示有興趣，或好像路加福音是寫給更大群的聽眾）介紹耶穌， 令人重新信服耶穌的權威，確立信徒的生活方式，推舉耶穌的榜樣爲可效法的典範。簡 言之，福音書嘗試提出一些途徑，幫助信徒群體實踐他們所委身的基督教信仰。」6 -我們可以如何看待福音書 最早期的福音書作者，並非是在真空的狀態下編寫福音書，也沒有創作出新的故事。 作者手頭上擁有的那些前人所有的資料，都是遭其基督徒群體加以整理、共用的；這些 資料也在傳道、教導的過程裡面被使用，最少也有 30 年的時間，是新信徒間的共同資 產。信徒是熟悉這些比喻、事件、言訓的。 福音書作者是傳道人也是牧者，他們所做的是透過當時「人物生平/古代傳記」的方 式，為信徒編寫出「耶穌生平」，回應當時信仰群體的需要。比起認為當時作者是透過聖 靈默示，突來的靈感創作出福音書；透過琢磨傳統資料，福音書作者整理出耶穌生平， 2 當時 90%以上的人是奴隸，識字的人也屈指可數。福音起出接觸的人，有一大部分都是社會較低階的 人，因此口傳的方式更為有用。 3 David A. DeSilva，《21 世紀基督教新約導論》，156–161。 4 即便所傳的言訓、故事再精彩，但可能因為所處的群體狀況不見得會運用到某寫口述資料，資料終究 會被遺忘。 5 David A. DeSilva，《21 世紀基督教新約導論》，158。 6 David A. DeSilva，《21 世紀基督教新約導論》，155。 回應當時群體面對的關注、問題與挑戰，編輯而成的福音書也可以有聖靈的啟示。7 德席瓦爾認為從以下三方面談論福音書作者如何受聖靈感動，會更精確：
（1）福音 書作者用來向教會介紹耶穌的方式，乃受聖靈感動；（2）福音書作者整理耶穌的教導， 加以處境化，從而賦予耶穌的言訓貼切的、嶄新的意義，這過程受聖靈感動；（3）耶穌 透過福音書作者的著作，向早期基督徒群體（甚至是向兩千年來的教會）提出他的主張。 福音書作者原本可以使用書信的形式，處理基督徒短期的問題，就如大多數早期基督徒 領袖所做一樣。但福音書作者寧願透過幫助讀者接觸活生生的耶穌，由耶穌挑戰鼓勵他 們，安慰激動他們，提醒他們耶穌的身分及他對跟隨者的要求，從而幫助讀者面對挑戰， 向一代接一代的教會，傳遞更全面發展、與耶穌有關的敘事。8 -馬可作為第一本福音書的特色 《馬可福音》最初只被稱為福音書，後來是因為教會開始使用幾本福音書，為了識 別才被取作《馬可福音》。命名過程是根據早期的教會傳統而來。若含其它書卷相比，馬 可福音的特色有以下幾點： （1） 馬可福音與其他福音書相比，希臘文法較不精準 （2） 用詞粗糙、內容簡要。一直寫「然後（kai）」 （3） 馬太與路加福音很重要的參考資料 （4） 整合個別的言訓、傳統，組合起來變為一個耶穌生平的整體 （5） 馬可福音的文學結構完整，將諸多的耶穌訓言、比喻、事件單元化，突顯作 者所要表現的耶穌敘事 三、馬可福音的敘事特色： （1） 馬可福音被稱作行動的福音，在馬可敘事中出現 41 次的「立刻（εὐθύς）」。 （馬太 6 次；路加 3 次；約翰 3 次） （2） 馬可福音裡面的耶穌有豐富的情感，充滿人性。與當時代對羅馬凱旋的「福 音」形成極大的反差。 同情（可 1:41；6:34）、憤怒（可 10:14）、憂傷（可 3:5）、罵人（可 7:27） 驚奇（可 6:6）、生氣（可 3:5）、愛（10:21）、體貼（6:31；8:2） 知識有限（可 13:32）、能力有限取決於被醫治者信心（2025-03-0249 min

The Bible (Unmuted)#101: Revelation, Part 21 (Introduction to Revelation 13)Revelation 13 is a well-known chapter, containing as it does the infamous "mark of the beast" text. This particular passage (and the chapter as a whole) is often the subject of much discussion -- and speculation. In this episode, Matt offers "big picture ideas" that provide an introduction to Revelation 13, addressing questions, such as: What is important about the symbolism of the two beasts? How does the Old Testament help us understand that symbolism? What details does John provide about the mark of the beast that push against some modern/popular conceptions of it?

Even so, he was gracious enough to give his insights on the early church and human sexuality, especially as he is an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church. Dr. deSilva is an adept apologist in the modern online world, a church musician, a husband and father. Please enjoy time spent with this learned man of culture and grace!2023-05-311h 10

It's a contradiction. We long and ache for judgement. We want the wrongs to be made right. We don't want others to get away with things. We want to think of ourselves as "the good guys". And....we hate being judged. We hate people tearing down our character and assuming they know why we did what we did. We hate being spoken down to.

Let’s be real. How much do you pay attention to the book of Revelation? If the New Testament were a neighborhood, the book of Revelation would be the dilapidated haunted house on the end of the street
Revelation is often feared and utterly ignored by many churches. The language is extreme, and the images are freighting. This ignorance is unfortunate because it frequently leads to either disregard of it or manipulation of its message.
