【读圣经学英语】宣布与外邦

马太福音-Matthew 12章17~19节

12:17 这是要应验那借着申言者以赛亚所说的,说,
  In order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
12:18 “看哪,我的仆人,我所拣选,我所爱,我魂所喜悦的;我要将我的灵放在祂身上,祂必将公理宣布与外邦。
  “Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul has found delight. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will announce justice to the Gentiles.
12:19 祂不争竞,不喧嚷,街上也没有人听见祂的声音。
  He will not strive nor cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

Enlightenment:

This indicates clearly that due to the Jews’ rejection, the heavenly King with His heavenly kingdom will turn to the nations, the Gentiles, and that the Gentiles will receive Him and trust in Him (Matthew 12:21).

Verse 19, also a quotation from Isaiah, says, “He shall not strive nor cry out, nor shall anyone hear His voice in the streets.” This indicates that He was no longer free to minister openly. Instead, He had to hide Himself. The reason for the rejection and the cause for the Lord’s needing to hide was the breaking of the religious regulations. This was due to caring for His headship and for the members of His Body. Because of this, the rejection reached the ultimate.

亮光

这清楚指明,由于犹太人的弃绝,属天的王连同祂属天的国要转向外邦;外邦人要接受祂,并信靠祂。(太十二21。)

十九节也是引自以赛亚书,说,“祂不争竞,不喧嚷,街上也没有人听见祂的声音。”这指明祂不再自由公开的尽职事。反之,祂必须隐藏自己。祂被弃绝的原因,和祂需要隐藏的理由,乃是干犯了宗教的规条。这是由于祂顾到祂作头的身分和祂身体上的肢体。因此,弃绝达于极点。
