【读圣经学英语】 上面放着鱼和饼

约翰福音-John 21章8~9节

21:8 其余的门徒离岸不远,约有二百肘,就在小船上把那网鱼拉过来。
But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net of fish.
21:9 他们上了岸,就看见那里放着炭火,上面放着鱼和饼。
Then when they got out onto the land, they saw a fire of coals laid there, and fish lying on it and bread.

Enlightenment:

When the disciples got out onto the land, “they saw a fire of coals laid there, and fish lying on it and bread” (v. 9). Peter and the disciples very clearly saw the fish on the coals of fire and the bread. There had been no need to catch any fish from the sea, for there were some fish on the land already. The Lord performed this miracle to teach the disciples that under His will they will find fish at any place, even on the land. But if it is not under His will, they will not find any fish even if they go to the sea. Catching fish does not depend upon the natural way; it depends upon His will. He is sovereign, and everything is under His control. Even in a place where people think that there is no fish naturally, the Lord will prepare fish for us. This is not the fish in the sea; this is the fish already cooked and prepared for us.

亮光

当门徒上了岸,『就看见那里放着炭火,上面放着鱼和饼。』(约二一9。)彼得和门徒很清楚的看见炭火上的鱼和饼。他们根本无须到海上打鱼,因为岸上已经有鱼了。主行这神迹是要教导门徒,在祂的旨意下,他们随处都会找到鱼,甚至在岸上也行;然而若不在祂的旨意下,他们便找不到鱼,即使在海上也一样。打鱼不是靠天然的办法,乃是靠祂的旨意。祂是主宰一切的,一切都在祂的控制之下。甚至人天然以为不会有鱼的地方,主都会为我们预备鱼。那不是海里的鱼,乃是已经为我们煮好且备妥的鱼。
