马太福音-Matthew 4章5~6节
| 4:5 |
而后魔鬼带祂进了圣城，叫祂站在殿翼上， Then the devil took Him into the holy city and set Him on the wing of the temple, |
| 4:6 |
对祂说，你若是神的儿子，就跳下去吧；因为经上记着，“主要为你吩咐祂的使者，用手托着你，免得你的脚碰在石头上。” And said to Him, If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down; for it is written, "To His angels He shall give charge concerning You, and on their hands they shall bear You up, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.'' |
Enlightenment:
The Devil’s first temptation of the new King was in the matter of human living. Defeated in this, he turned his second temptation to religion, tempting the new King to demonstrate that He is the Son of God from the wing of the temple. In verse 6 the Devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to His angels concerning You, and on their hands they shall bear You up, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.” There was no need for the Lord Jesus to do this. It was simply a temptation to show that as the Son of God He was able to do things in a miraculous way. Any thought of doing things miraculously in religion is a temptation of the Devil.
亮光
魔鬼对新王的第一个试诱，是在人的生活上。这试诱失败了，魔鬼就把他第二个试诱转向宗教，要新王从殿翼上跳下去，以证实祂是神的儿子。在六节魔鬼对祂说，『你若是神的儿子，就跳下去吧；因为经上记着，「主要为你吩咐祂的使者，用手托着你，免得你的脚碰在石头上。」』主耶稣不需要作这事。这不过是试诱，要祂表现自己是神的儿子，能行神迹。凡想在宗教里行神迹的念头，都是魔鬼的试诱。
