【读圣经学英语】万国的荣耀

马太福音-Matthew 4章8~9节

4:8 魔鬼又带祂上到一座极高的山,将世上的万国,和万国的荣耀,都指给祂看,
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
4:9 对祂说,你若俯伏拜我,我就把这一切都给你。
And he said to Him, All these will I give You if You will fall down and worship me.

Enlightenment:

 The third temptation is a matter of worldly glory, promotion, ambition, position, and a promising future. All this is the glory of the world.

Luke 4:6 says that the kingdoms of the world and their glory were delivered unto the Devil; hence, to whomever he wills he gives them. Before his fall, Satan as the archangel was appointed by God to be the ruler of the world (Ezek. 28:13-14). Thus, he is called the ruler of this world (John 12:31), holding all the kingdoms of this world and their glory in his hand. He presented all these to the newly anointed King as a temptation in order to secure worship.

第三个试诱是属世的荣耀、升迁、野心、地位以及有望的前途。这都是世上的荣耀。

路加四章六节说,世上的万国和万国的荣耀,原是交付魔鬼的,因此他愿意给谁就给谁。撒但在堕落之前,原是神所派管理世界的天使长,(结二八13~14。)因此他称为这世界的王,(约十二31,)世上的万国和万国的荣耀,都握在他手中。他把这些都摆在所受膏的王面前试诱祂,为要得着祂的敬拜。
