Lu 21:1-4.
英文原文
Lu 21:1-4.
THE WIDOW'S TWO MITES.
1. looked up--He had "sat down over against the treasury"
(Mr 12:41),
probably to rest, for He had continued long standing as he taught in the temple court
(Mr 11:27),
and "looking up He saw"--as in Zaccheus' case, not quite casually.
the rich, &c.--"the people," says
Mr 12:41
"cast money into the treasury, and many rich east in much"; that is, into chests deposited in one of the courts of the temple to receive the offerings of the people towards its maintenance
(2Ki 12:9; Joh 8:20).

2. 两个小钱——"就是一个大钱"（可 12:42），犹太最小的铜钱。"她本可以留下一枚"[本格尔]。
英文原文
2. two mites--"which make a farthing"
(Mr 12:42),
the smallest Jewish coin. "She might have kept one" [BENGEL].

3. 就说——他"叫……来"的"门徒"（可 12:43），要从其中教导一个关乎将来的重要功课。
比众人所投的更多——按她的力量比例而言，这是神的标准（林后 8:12）。
英文原文
3. And he said--"to His disciples," whom He "called to Him"
(Mr 12:43),
to teach from it a great future lesson.
more than . . . all--in proportion to her means, which is God's standard
(2Co 8:12).

4. 自己有余的——他们的盈余，即他们“所剩下的”，或超过他们所需要的。
自己不足的——或作“缺乏”（可 12:44）——她的短缺，比她自己所需用的还少，“一切养生的”。马可（可 12:44）更强调地说：“她一切所有的，就是她一切养生的”。 注： (1) 如今为着国内外服事基督的事工，仍需要像殿中的奉献那样；所以他现在像那时一样——只是那时“向上”看，如今“向下”看——“看”见谁“投上”，以及投了多少。 (2) 基督所称赞之奉献的标准，不是我们的盈余，而是我们的不足——不是永远不会被错过的那一份，而是要求我们付上某种真实牺牲的那一份，且恰好与那牺牲的相对大小成正比。（见林后 8:1-3。）
英文原文
4. of their abundance--their superfluity; what they had to spare," or beyond what they needed.
of her penury--or "want"
(Mr 12:44)
--her deficiency, of what was less than her own wants required, "all the living she had." Mark
(Mr 12:44)
still more emphatically, "all that she had--her whole subsistence." Note: (1) As temple offerings are needed still for the service of Christ at home and abroad, so "looking down" now, as then "up," Me "sees" who "cast in," and how much. (2) Christ's standard of commendable offering is not our superfluity, but our deficiency--not what will never be missed, but what costs us some real sacrifice, and just in proportion to the relative amount of that sacrifice. (See
2Co 8:1-3.)

Lu 21:5-38.
路 21:5-38.
基督对耶路撒冷毁灭的预言，以及由此引出的为他的再来作准备之警戒——他在最后一周期间的日与夜.

英文原文
Lu 21:5-38.
CHRIST'S PROPHECY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND WARNINGS TO PREPARE FOR HIS SECOND COMING, SUGGESTED BY IT--HIS DAYS AND NIGHTS DURING HIS LAST WEEK.

go . . . not . . . after them--"I come not so very soon"

9-11. 不要惊惶——（见路 21:19; 赛 8:11-14。）
末期不能立时就到——或作立即，并不是立刻（太 24:6; 可 13:7）：即“在一切都结束之前，必有更糟的来到。”
英文原文
9-11. not terrified--(See
Lu 21:19; Isa 8:11-14).
end not by and by--or immediately, not yet
(Mt 24:6; Mr 13:7):
that is, "Worse must come before all is over."

10. 民族等等——马太和马可（太 24:8; 可 13:8）加上：“这都是灾难的起头”，即生产之难的起头，重大灾祸被比作生产之痛（耶 4:31 等）。
英文原文
10. Nation, &c.--Matthew and Mark

add, "All these are the beginning of sorrows," or travail pangs, to which heavy calamities are compared
(Jer 4:31,

18. 连一根头发也……不损坏——他刚才才说
(Lu 21:16)
他们要被处死；可见这宝贵的应许远远超出了仅仅免于身体伤害的范围，并且为正确解释诗篇第九十一篇及类似经文提供了一把钥匙。马太又加上以下的话
(Mt 24:12):
“只因不法的事增多，许多人的”——那许多人，或者说大多数，就是一般承认信仰的门徒——“爱心才渐渐冷淡了。”惟有忍耐到底的必然得救。关于不法的事增多使忠心门徒的爱心冷淡的可悲例证，我们可以在大约写于所指这一时期的雅各书中看到，此后也屡见不鲜
(Heb 10:38, 39;
Re 2:10)。
“这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后末期才来到”
(Mt 24:14)。
神从未在不预先警告的情况下降下审判；毫无疑问，已经分散在已知各国中的犹太人，在犹太国家终结之前，几乎都“作见证”般地听见了福音。同样的原则曾一再重演，并且要一直重演到那末了。
英文原文
18. not a hair . . . perish--He had just said
(Lu 21:16)
they should be put to death; showing that this precious promise is far above immunity from mere bodily harm, and furnishing a key to the right interpretation of the ninety-first Psalm, and such like. Matthew adds the following
(Mt 24:12):
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many," the many or, the most--the generality of professed disciples--"shall wax cold." But he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Sad illustrations of the effect of abounding iniquity in cooling the love of faithful disciples we have in the Epistle of James, written about this period referred to, and too frequently ever since
(Heb 10:38, 39; Re 2:10).
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness, and then shall the end come"
(Mt 24:14).
God never sends judgment without previous warning; and there can be no doubt that the Jews, already dispersed over most known countries, had nearly all heard the Gospel "as a witness," before the end of the Jewish state. The same principle was repeated and will repeat itself to the end.

20, 21. 军兵——安营的军兵，即围困：就是“先知但以理所说的”那“行毁坏可憎的”（指罗马军旗，作为偶像崇拜、异教、不洁之权势的象征）
(Da 9:27)
“站在不当站的地方”
(Mr 13:14)。
“读这预言的人须要会意”
(Mt 24:15)。
那时……逃等——优西比乌说，基督徒在“预言的指引”下，逃到了庇里亚北端的佩拉；也许是受了比这更明确之预言性指示的引导，但即或不然，这话仍是他们的航海图。
英文原文
20, 21. by armies--encamped armies, that is, besieged: "the abomination of desolation" (meaning the Roman ensigns, as the symbols of an idolatrous, pagan, unclean power) "spoken of by Daniel the prophet"
(Da 9:27)
"standing where it ought not"
(Mr 13:14).
"Whoso readeth [that prophecy] let him understand"
(Mt 24:15).
Then . . . flee, &c.--EUSEBIUS says the Christians fled to Pella, at the north extremity of Perea, being "prophetically directed"; perhaps by some prophetic intimation still more explicit than this, which still would be their chart.

23. 当灾难——“哀哉”。
怀胎等——因为所要受的苦更大；“在冬天或安息日逃走”也是如此；这两样是他们应当“求”免于发生的
(Mt 24:20),
一样更伤身体，一样更伤灵魂。“因为那时必有大灾难，从世界的起头直到如今，没有这样的灾难，后来也必没有”——这是旧约圣经描述极大灾祸时常用的语言，但对这一事件，也许可以照字面说：“若不减少那日子，凡有血气的总没有一个得救的；只是为选民，那日子必减少了”
(Mt 24:21, 22)。
若不是因这出于多种原因奇妙凑合而成的怜悯“减少”，全民族早已灭亡，而其中尚有日后要招聚出来的余民。此处马太和马可
(Mt 24:24;
Mr 13:22)
还论到“假基督”的一些细节：他们“若能”——这是何等宝贵的限制——“连选民也就迷惑了”。（比较
2Th 2:9-11;
Re 13:13.)
英文原文
23. woe unto--"alas for."
with child, &c.--from the greater suffering it would involve; as also "flight in winter, and on the sabbath," which they were to "pray" against
(Mt 24:20),
the one as more trying to the body, the other to the soul. "For then shall be tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world, nor ever shall be"--language not unusual in the Old Testament for tremendous calamities, though of this it may perhaps be literally said, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened"
(Mt 24:21, 22).
But for this merciful "shortening," brought about by a remarkable concurrence of causes, the whole nation would have perished, in which there yet remained a remnant to be afterwards gathered out. Here in Matthew and Mark
(Mt 24:24; Mr 13:22)
are some particulars about "false Christs," who should, "if possible"--a precious clause--"deceive the very elect." (Compare
2Th 2:9-11; Re 13:13.)

24. 耶路撒冷……被践踏……直到等——暗示(1) 终有一日，耶路撒冷要不再“被外邦人践踏”
(Re 11:2),
那时是被外邦异教徒，如今是被回教徒的不信者；(2) 这事要发生在“外邦人的日期”“满了”的时候。从
Ro 11:25
（取自本处）看，我们认为这是指外邦人在教会中享有充分时期的地位——这地位原是犹太人在他们的时期中所先享有的——此后犹太人再次“接在自己的橄榄树上”，犹太人与外邦人共同组成的合一教会便要充满全地
(Ro 11:1-36)。
这是何等开阔的视野！
英文原文
24. Jerusalem . . . trodden down . . . until, &c.--Implying (1) that one day Jerusalem shall cease to be "trodden down by the Gentiles"
(Re 11:2),
as then by pagan so now by Mohammedan unbelievers; (2) that this shall be at the "completion" of "the times of the Gentiles," which from
Ro 11:25
(taken from this) we conclude to mean till the Gentiles have had their full time of that place in the Church which the Jews in their time had before them--after which, the Jews being again "grafted into their own olive tree," one Church of Jew and Gentile together shall fill the earth
(Ro 11:1-36).
What a vista this opens up!

25-28. 日月星辰的兆头等——这话的庄严固然把人的心思带到一切时代之上，唯独基督再来那时代才能应验；但几乎每一句都可以在论到神在巴比伦等国可怕的国家审判中临到之时找着。又从
Lu 21:28, 32
看来，其直接的所指似乎是耶路撒冷的毁灭，这一点几乎无可否认；但它的最终的所指，无疑是基督最后的再来。
英文原文
25-28. signs, &c.--Though the grandeur of this language carries the mind over the head of all periods but that of Christ's second coming, nearly every expression will be found used of the Lord's coming in terrible national judgments, as of Babylon, &c.; and from
Lu 21:28, 32,
it seems undeniable that its immediate reference was to the destruction of Jerusalem, though its ultimate reference beyond doubt is to Christ's final coming.

28. 得赎——指藉着犹太国家的彻底颠覆与福音国度的坚立
(Lu 21:31),
从教会专制与律法捆绑的压迫下得释放。
但这句话的含义要广阔、宝贵得多。马太
(Mt 24:30)
说：“那时，人子的兆头要显在天上”，显然与他紧接着所提到的自己有所区别。这兆头究竟何指，解经家意见不一。但正如基督来毁灭耶路撒冷之前，空中曾出现一些可怕的异象；照样，在他亲自显现之前，也可能会看见类似的事；至于其性质究竟为何，臆测也是徒然。
英文原文
28. redemption--from the oppression of ecclesiastical despotism and legal bondage by the total subversion of the Jewish state and the firm establishment of the evangelical kingdom
(Lu 21:31).
But the words are of far wider and more precious import. Matthew
(Mt 24:30)
says, "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven," evidently something distinct from Himself, mentioned immediately after. What this was intended to mean, interpreters are not agreed. But as before Christ came to destroy Jerusalem, some appalling portents were seen in the air, so before His personal appearing it is likely that something analogous will be witnessed, though of what nature it is vain to conjecture.

32. 这世代——不是如有些人所解释的“这民族”；这种解释本身虽可通，但此处很不自然。倒应像

32. This generation--not "this nation," as some interpret it, which, though admissible in itself, seems very unnatural here. It is rather as in

无标题
36. 儆醒……祈求等——这是预见试炼时常常吩咐的两大本分。这些因要为逼近的可怕灾难及现有秩序的彻底崩溃作预备而发的警告，是整篇讲论的普遍应用，把人的心思带到另一种、更大更可畏规模的审判与报应——不是教会或政治的，而是个人的；不是暂时的，而是永远的——那时一切的安全与福气，全在于能在他人子亲自显现的荣耀中“站在人子面前”。
英文原文
36. Watch . . . pray, &c.--the two great duties which in prospect of trial are constantly enjoined. These warnings, suggested by the need of preparedness for the tremendous calamities approaching, and the total wreck of the existing state of things, are the general improvement of the whole discourse, carrying the mind forward to Judgment and Vengeance of another kind and on a grander and more awful scale--not ecclesiastical or political but personal, not temporal but eternal--when all safety and blessedness will be found to lie in being able to "STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN" in the glory of His personal appearing.

abode in the mount--that is, at Bethany

路 21:1-4.
寡妇的两个小钱.
1. 抬头观看——他"对着库"已经"坐下"（可 12:41），大概是想要歇息，因为他在殿院中教训人时已经长久站着（可 11:27），"于是抬头观看"——如同在撒该的情形中一样，并非纯属偶然。
财主等等——可 12:41 说："众人"投钱入库，"有好些财主投了若干"；也就是说，投入放在殿中一个院子里的箱子中，以收纳百姓为维持圣殿而奉献的捐项（王下 12:9; 约 8:20）。
