【读圣经学英语】呼召

马太福音-Matthew 4章21节

4:21 祂从那里往前走,看见另外两个兄弟,就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他的兄弟约翰,正同他们的父亲西庇太在船上补网,祂就呼召他们。
And going on from there, He saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

Enlightenment:

When they were called by the Lord, they were mending their nets in the boat. When the Lord called them, they left the boat and their father and followed Him. John and his brother, like Peter and Andrew, were attracted by the Lord and followed Him. Eventually, John became a real mender, mending the breakages in the church by his ministry of life. (See his three Epistles and Revelation chapters two and three.)

亮光

主呼召雅各和约翰时,他们正在船上补网。主呼召他们,他们就撇下船和他们的父亲,跟从了祂。约翰和他的兄弟,同彼得和安得烈一样,都是受了主的吸引,跟从了祂。至终,约翰成了真正的修补者,用他生命的职事修补召会的裂缝。(见约翰的三封书信和启示录二至三章。)
