约翰福音-John 19章 23~25 节
| 19:23 |
兵丁既将耶稣钉在十字架上，就拿祂的外衣分为四分，每兵一分，又拿祂的里衣，这里衣原没有缝，是上下一片织成的。 The soldiers then, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, a part for each soldier, and they took the tunic as well. But the tunic was seamless, woven from the top throughout. |
| 19:24 |
他们就彼此说，我们不要撕开，只要拈阄，看谁得着。这是要应验经书：“他们分了我的外衣，又为我的衣服拈阄。”兵丁果然作了这事。 They said therefore to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it to see whose it shall be, that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They divided My garments among themselves, and for My clothing they cast lots.'' So then the soldiers did these things. |
| 19:25 |
站在耶稣十字架旁边的，有祂母亲，与祂母亲的姊妹，并革罗罢的妻子马利亚，和抹大拉的马利亚。 And there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother and His mother's sister and Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary the Magdalene. |
Enlightenment:
Religion was blind, politics was dark, the governor was false, and the soldiers were greedy. When they had crucified Jesus, they took His garments and made a part for each soldier. Since His tunic was seamless, they cast lots to see whose it would be (19:23-24). This was not of the soldiers, but of God’s sovereignty. It happened that the prophecy in Psalm 22:18 might be fulfilled. The soldiers did exactly what was prophesied in Psalm 22:18. By this we see that the Lord’s death was sovereignly planned. If God had not planned it, no one could have put the Lord of life to death. All the fulfilled prophecies prove that the Lord’s death was not of man, but of God’s sovereignty.
亮光
宗教是盲目的，政治是黑暗的，总督是虚伪的，兵丁是贪婪的。他们既将耶稣钉在十字架，就拿祂的外衣，每兵分得一分。因祂的里衣原没有缝，他们就拈阄看谁得着。（约十九23～24。）这不是出于兵丁，乃是出于神的主宰。这事发生，使诗篇二十二篇十八节的预言得以应验。兵丁完全按着诗篇二十二篇十八节的话作了。我们由此看出主的死是神的主宰所计划的。神若没有计划这事，就没有人能将生命的主处死。所有得应验的预言，都证明主的死不是出于人，乃是出于神的主宰。
