1. Now it came to pass on the second Sabbath of the first rank that He was walking through the grain fields; and His disciples were plucking the ears and were eating, after rubbing them in their hands.
2. But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths?”
3. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you not read even this, that which David did when he himself hungered, and those who were with him?
4. How he went into the house of God and took the loaves of showbread, and he ate of them, and also gave some to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests only?”
5. And He said to them, “The Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
6. Now it also came to pass on another Sabbath that He went into the synagogue and taught; and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7. And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against Him.
8. But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand in the midst.” And he arose and stood in their midst.
9. Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbaths? to save life or to destroy it?”
10. And after looking around on them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
11. But they were filled with rage, and consulted with one another as to what they should do with Jesus. (A Faithful Version)
1. 這事件發生在逾越節的第一個安息日,耶穌走在麥田間,門徒掐麥穗,用手搓著吃。
2. 遇到有幾位法利賽人,對他們說:為什麼在安息日做不當的事?
3. 耶穌回應:這是大衛和跟隨的人,因為飢餓才作的事,沒有念過?
4. 大衛進了神的殿,吃那些只有祭司可以食用,是那些作為祭物的麵包,同時分給隨行的人。
5. 耶穌強調:人子是安息日的主。
6. 又在另一個安息日,耶穌進會堂教導。有一個人,右手枯竭。
7. 文士和法利賽人就靜觀其變,看耶穌會否在安息日治病,若是,就有把柄作出控告。
8. 耶穌明白這些人的用意,依舊對那右手枯竭的人說:起來,請你站在中間。他就起來,站在眾人當中。
9. 耶穌面向針對的人說:想問一句,在安息日行善行惡,救命害命,那個更為合法?
10. 說完了,耶穌環看四周,見無人回應,便說:伸出你的手來!這手枯的人就伸出手來,就復原了跟平常一樣。
11. 文士和法利賽人此時卻是心存怒憤,之後彼此商議,該如何處置耶穌。
路加這段記載是神蹟出現不是人人都愛。
路加之前描述耶穌初期用神蹟行事,都會吩咐不要宣揚。也因為人多需求大,便退到無人之地,因此,神蹟並不是耶穌傳道必用的方式。為何,卻在文士和法利賽人刻意去觀察的時候,將以前叫人不要宣揚的處理方式改了,刻意在這些故意找事的人面前,行神蹟奇事,一反常態?
在9 節有這樣的記載:在安息日行善行惡,救命害命,那個更為合法?
這段文字記述不是從那些信仰規範,用以判定事件的合法性。當中緣由,是好壞在社會的大環境下,那是用來維繫人與人之間的和諧。當有信仰的人立下了規條,有違社會上通識,這規條的應用範圍只在少數人當中,不能成為社會的共識。信仰是人人的事,神在創造人和世界之時,將人處於大環境當中,當人數愈多,成了大群體,就是今日的社會,這個原則不變,就是人有自由,不受某個小群體的規條約束。當然,有人選擇受約束,那是個人的自由。神沒有這樣的規條,藉耶穌相信神的,也沒有。
於是,有人會擔心,人可以目無法紀?
這種擔心從何而來?對人不信任。這種不信任是因為人不相信神,或者拜假神蘊釀而成,因為這二種情況只有一個結果,都是只為自己 (保羅的說法:關照肉體以血氣行事) 而產生。當人全心相信,就有一個與神相同的能力:自控。這種能力源自於分辨,又因為有信,就能堅持不去單單為己,也為人人,這等人不會束意犯法,人的律法管的是壞人壞事,相信有神的人,都是好人做好事,何來會犯法?被人誣告那是另一回事。
文士和法利賽人擔心不是人會不會犯罪,而是為了人不去守規矩,對這少眾人士而言,會是個大災難。
提阿非羅會認同這點?
