【读圣经学英语】迎见耶稣

马太福音-Matthew 8章33-34节

8:33 放猪的就逃跑进城,将一切事,和鬼附之人的事,都报告出来。
  And those who were feeding them fled and went away into the city and reported everything, including what had happened to those possessed by demons.
8:34 全城的人都出来,要迎见耶稣;既看见了,就恳求祂离开他们的境界。
  And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they entreated Him to depart from their borders.

Enlightenment:

The Lord’s intention in permitting the demons to go into the hogs was not to damage the occupation of those who fed them. Because hogs are dirty in the eyes of God, the Lord Jesus destroyed their unclean occupation with the expectation that those employed in it might be saved and turn to Him.

The King’s coming to this district set everything in order. Not only were the demons cast out of the two men, but the hogs were drowned. Hence, the whole region was cleared, and the demons returned to their dwelling place. This was an exhibition of the Lord’s authority.

亮光

主允许鬼进入猪群,用意并不是要损害养猪之人的事业。因为在神眼中,猪是不洁净的,主耶稣毁坏他们不洁的事业,盼望那些受雇的人能得救,并转向祂。 

 

王来到这个区域,使一切井然有序。不仅鬼从两个人身上赶出去,猪群也淹死了。所以整个区域得了清理,鬼也回到它们的住处。这是主权柄的展示。
