【读圣经学英语】巴拉巴

约翰福音-John 18章 39~40 节

18:39 但你们有个规矩,在逾越节要我给你们释放一个人。你们要我给你们释放犹太人的王么?
But you have a custom that I release one man to you at the Passover. Is it your will therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?
18:40

他们又喊着说,不要这人,要巴拉巴。这巴拉巴是个强盗。

Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

Enlightenment:

After the Lord Jesus was examined, He, the perfect One, was sentenced in man’s injustice (18:38b-19:16). This unjust sentence exposed the blindness of religion and the darkness of politics (18:38b-39; 19:1, 4-5, 8-14, 16). The Jewish religionists rejected the most just One and chose a robber (18:39-40; 19:6-7, 12, 15). How blind they were! 

亮光

主耶稣被察验之后,祂这位完全者便在人的不公不义中被判刑。(约十八38下~十九16。)这不公正的判决暴露了宗教的盲目和政治的黑暗。(约十八38下~39,十九1,4~5,8~14,16。)犹太宗教徒弃绝了最义的一位,选择一个强盗。(约十八39~40,十九6~7,12,15。)他们是何等的盲目!
