约翰福音-John 8 章 17~22节

8:17 连你们的律法上也记着，两个人的见证是真的：
And in your law also it has been written that the testimony of two men is true:
8:18 我是为我自己作见证的，还有差我来的父，也为我作见证。
I am One who testifies concerning Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies concerning Me.
8:19 他们就问祂说，你的父在那里？耶稣回答说，你们不认识我，也不认识我的父；你们若认识我，也就认识我的父。
They said then to Him, Where is Your Father? Jesus answered, You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.
8:20 这些话是耶稣在殿里施教的时候，在银库那里说的，也没有人拿祂，因为祂的时候还没有到。
These words He spoke in the treasury as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
8:21 耶稣又对他们说，我要去了，你们要寻找我，并且你们要死在你们的罪中；我所去的地方，你们不能到。
He said therefore again to them, I am going away, and you will seek Me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.
8:22 犹太人就说，祂说我所去的地方，你们不能到，难道祂要自杀么？
The Jews then said, He is not going to kill Himself, is He, for He says, Where I am going, you cannot come?

亮光

罪的结果就是死。（约八21,24, 51-52。）凡犯罪的，就是罪的奴仆。（约八34。）奴仆总是在某种辖制之下。撒但，魔鬼，将自己作到人里面，成为有罪的性情，逼使人犯罪，藉此将整个人类置于罪的辖制之下。任何人都无法逃离这种奴役。

我们是堕落的人，一直被罪、瞎眼和死亡所困扰。瞎眼其实就是黑暗。你若瞎了眼，你就在黑暗中，因为没有什么比瞎眼更叫人黑暗了。瞎眼、黑暗和死亡是从罪来的。罪是瞎眼、黑暗和死亡的基本因素。我们若是有罪的，我们必然是瞎眼的，因为瞎眼总是随着罪恶的事。罪带进死亡，而在罪与死亡之间总有瞎眼。在犯罪之后，收割死亡之前，先有黑暗。因此，罪、瞎眼和死亡是主必须对付的三件消极事物。要对付这些消极事物，惟一的方法是藉着主成为我们永远、属天的生命。

Enlightenment:

The result of sin is death (8:21, 24, 51-52).Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin (8:34). A slave is always under a certain bondage. Satan, the devil, has brought all humankind under the bondage of sin by imparting himself into man as the sinful nature that compels man to sin. It is impossible for anyone to free himself from such a slavery.

As fallen human beings, we are constantly troubled by sin, blindness, and death. Blindness actually means darkness. When you are blind, you are in darkness, for nothing causes so much darkness as blindness. Blindness, darkness, and death come from sin. Sin is the basic factor of blindness, darkness, and death. If we are sinful, we are surely blind because blindness always accompanies the sinful things. Sin brings in death, but between sin and death there is always blindness. After you have sinned and before you reap death, you have darkness. Therefore, sin, blindness, and death are the three negative things that the Lord must deal with. The only way these negatives can be dealt with is by the Lord becoming our eternal and heavenly life.
