【读圣经学英语】要仰望

约翰福音-John 19章37~39节

19:37 另有一处经书说,“他们要仰望自己所扎的人。”
And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced.''
19:38 这些事以后,有亚利马太人约瑟,是耶稣的门徒,只因怕犹太人,就暗暗的作门徒,他求彼拉多,要领耶稣的身体,彼拉多准许了,他就来把耶稣的身体领去。
And after these things Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a hidden one for fear of the Jews, requested of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus away; and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took His body away.
19:39 又有先前夜间到耶稣那里的尼哥底母也来了,带着没药与沉香调和的香料,约有一百磅。
And Nicodemus, he who had come to Him the first time by night, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes of about a hundred pounds.

Enlightenment:

One of the soldiers, being concerned that the Lord might not actually be dead, pierced His side with a spear. This fulfilled the prophecy in Zechariah 12:10: “They shall look on him whom they pierced.” It was absolutely of God’s sovereignty that these things happened in such a meaningful and wonderful way. This proves strongly that the Lord’s death was not accidental, but that it was planned by God “before the foundation of the world” (1 Pet. 1:19-20).

The Lord’s having none of His bones broken was typified by the bones of the Passover lamb. In the institution of the Passover, God ordained that none of the lamb’s bones should be broken (Exo. 12:46; Num. 9:11-12). This was a wonderful type. Later, in Psalm 34:20 this was also prophesied. Both the type and the prophecy were fulfilled in the Lord’s death on the cross.

亮光

有一个兵,担心主没有真的死去,就用枪扎祂的肋旁。这应验了撒迦利亚十二章十节的预言:『他们必仰望祂,就是他们所扎的。』这些事发生得这么奇妙而有意义,完全是出于神的主宰。这有力的证明主的死不是偶然的,乃是神在创世以前(彼前一19~20)所计划的。

主的骨头一根也不折断,是由逾越节羊羔的骨头所预表。在设立逾越节时,神命定羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。(出十二46,民九11~12。)这是奇妙的预表。以后在诗篇三十四篇二十节,又预言了这事,这预表和预言都因主在十字架上的死应验了。
