Ac 3:1-26.
英文原文
Ac 3:1-26.
PETER HEALS A LAME MAN AT THE TEMPLE GATE--HS ADDRESS TO THE WONDERING MULTITUDE.
1-11. Peter and John--already associated by their Master, first with James
(Mr 1:29; 5:37; 9:2),
then by themselves
(Lu 22:8;
and see
Joh 13:23, 24).
Now we find them constantly together, but John (yet young) only as a silent actor.
went up--were going up, were on their way.

(Ac 4:22)。
被人抬來——慣常被人抬來。
英文原文
2. a certain man lame from his mother's womb--and now "above forty years old"
(Ac 4:22).
was carried--was wont to be carried.

4, 5. 彼得連同約翰定睛看他,說:你看我們。他就——好叫信心藉著眼目得以扶助而誕生。
英文原文
4, 5. Peter fastening his eyes on him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed--that, through the eye, faith might be aided in its birth.

Ac 3:6.
6. 金銀我都沒有,只把我所有的給你——這話中透出何等高超的超越!
拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名,起來行走——以超自然的能力說出的這些話,無疑在這可憐人心中生發出信心,使醫治的能力流貫他患病的肢體。
英文原文
6. Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee--What a lofty superiority breathes in these words!
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk--These words, uttered with supernatural power, doubtless begat in this poor man the faith that sent healing virtue through his diseased members.

Ac 3:7.
7. 於是拉着他的右手,扶他起來——與他主對待自己岳母的做法完全一樣
(Mr 1:31)。
腳——「足底」。
和踝子骨等——醫者的專業用語
(Col 4:14)。
英文原文
7. And he took . . . and lifted him up--precisely what his Lord had done to his own mother-in-law
(Mr 1:31).
his feet--"soles."
and ankle bones, &c.--the technical language of a physician
(Col 4:14).

Ac 3:8.
8. 就跳起來,站着……行走……進了殿,走着、跳着,讚美神——這裏的每一個字都意味深長,表達醫治的完全,正如
Ac 3:7
表達其即時性。
英文原文
8. leaping up, stood . . . walked . . . entered the temple walking, leaping, and praising God--Every word here is emphatic, expressing the perfection of the cure, as
Ac 3:7
its immediateness.

9. 眾百姓都看見他等等——因為他們正於公眾禱告之時聚集於聖殿院宇之中;如此一來,這件神蹟便得到了最大程度的公開。
英文原文
9. all the people saw him, &c.--as they assembled at the hour of public prayer, in the temple courts; so that the miracle had the utmost publicity.

10節。認得他是那素常坐在殿的美門前求賙濟的等——(比較
Joh 9:8)。
英文原文
10. they knew that it was he which sat for alms, &c.--(Compare
Joh 9:8).
11
無標題
11. 那治好了的瘸子……拉著等等——這就是人性。
眾百姓一齊跑到他們那裡的廊下等等——這些生動的細節何等鮮活地把整個場景呈現在我們眼前!如此一來,彼得又一次得著了大批聽眾,他們對這位蒙醫治的乞丐緊緊拉著恩人的情景所生發的驚奇,預備了他們以敬畏的心聆聽他的話。
英文原文
11. the lame man . . . held, &c.--This is human nature.
all the people ran together unto them in the porch, &c.--How vividly do these graphic details bring the whole scene before us! Thus was Peter again furnished with a vast audience, whose wonder at the spectacle of the healed beggar clinging to his benefactors prepared them to listen with reverence to his words.

無標題
12-16. 為甚麼把這事當作希奇呢?——因為神蹟之所以為奇事,只是相對於人有限的能力而言。
以為我們憑自己的能力和虔誠使這人行走——這醫治的能力與功德都不歸我們,我們不過是那位我們所傳之人的代理人而已。
英文原文
12-16. why marvel at this?--For miracles are marvels only in relation to the limited powers of man.
as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk--Neither the might nor the merit of the cure are due to us, mere agents of Him whom we preach.

13節。亞伯拉罕的神等——(參
Ac 2:22;
Ac 2:36)。
已經榮耀了他的僕人耶穌——更確切地說是「他的僕人耶穌」,與
Mt 12:18
的譯法相同,但用的是以賽亞書中始終用以指彌賽亞的那種崇高含義
(Isa 42:1; 49:6; 52:13; 53:11)。
當要表達「兒子」之意時,所用的是另一個字。
你們交付了他等——彼得在此何等英勇地指控他的聽眾犯了所能想像的最重的罪,這些指控又披上了何等可畏的強烈措辭!
英文原文
13. The God of Abraham, &c.--(See on
Ac 2:22;
Ac 2:36).
hath glorified his Son Jesus--rather, "his Servant Jesus," as the same word is rendered in
Mt 12:18,
but in that high sense in which Isaiah applies it always to Messiah
(Isa 42:1; 49:6; 52:13; 53:11).
When "Son" is intended a different word is used.
whom ye delivered up, &c.--With what heroic courage does Peter here charge his auditors with the heaviest of all conceivable crimes, and with what terrific strength of language are these charges clothed!

15節. 殺了生命的主——榮耀的悖論,但對聽眾的良心卻何等刺透。
英文原文
15. killed the Prince of life--Glorious paradox, but how piercing to the conscience of the auditors.

16節. 他的名……因信他的名,便叫你們所看見所認識的這人健壯了等——使徒何等巧妙地運用這神蹟,既高舉他那升天的大能的主,又將流祂血的罪更無可推諉地歸到聽眾身上!
英文原文
16. his name, through faith in his name, hath made this man strong, &c.--With what skill does the apostle use the miracle both to glorify his ascended Lord and bring the guilt of His blood more resistlessly home to his audience!

17-21節. 弟兄們——我們的傳道者正如他的主一樣,「不折斷壓傷的蘆葦」。他最嚴厲的指控都是出於愛,這愛如今急忙撫慰那些不得不造成的創傷。
我曉得——「知道」。
你們做這事是出於不知——(見欄外參考,
Lu 23:34; Ac 13:27; 26:9)。
英文原文
17-21. And now, brethren--Our preacher, like his Master, "will not break the bruised reed." His heaviest charges are prompted by love, which now hastens to assuage the wounds it was necessary to inflict.
I wot--"know."
through ignorance ye did it--(See marginal references,
Lu 23:34; Ac 13:27; 26:9).

18節. 基督——最好的抄本讀作「祂的基督」。
這樣受害——受苦彌賽亞的教義與猶太教會當時流行的觀點完全相左,甚至十二使徒在他們的主復活之日以前也難以接受。我們的傳道者自己當這教義初次赤裸裸地宣告時,也曾為之震驚並加以反對,為此受到嚴厲的責備。在此他卻宣稱這是古先知預言的基本真理,由猶太人自己不知不覺地成全了,然而這卻是出於榮耀的神聖命定。五旬節的光照使他的觀點產生了何等大的改變!
英文原文
18. that Christ--The best manuscripts read, "that His Christ."
should suffer--The doctrine of a SUFFERING MESSIAH was totally at variance with the current views of the Jewish Church, and hard to digest even by the Twelve, up to the day of their Lord's resurrection. Our preacher himself revolted at it, and protested against it, when first nakedly announced, for which he received a terrible rebuke. Here he affirms it to be the fundamental truth of ancient prophecy realized unwittingly by the Jews themselves, yet by a glorious divine ordination. How great a change had the Pentecostal illumination wrought upon his views!

19. 安舒的日子來到——更準確地應為「使安舒的日子可以來到」;那段漫長的安息、繁榮與喜樂的時期——眾先知向這困惑不安的教會與悲慘世界所應許終將臨到的時期——正如在眾先知書中一樣,此處也指出這一切乃繫於以色列全國的歸信。
英文原文
19. when the times of refreshing shall come--rather, "in order that the times of refreshing may come"; that long period of repose, prosperity and joy, which all the prophets hold forth to the distracted Church and this miserable world, as eventually to come, and which is here, as in all the prophets, made to turn upon the national conversion of Israel.

20. 主也必差遣……耶穌基督——正確的讀法是:「祂必差遣你們所預先指定(或預定)的彌賽亞耶穌。」
英文原文
20. he shall send Jesus Christ--The true reading is, "He shall send your predestinated (or foreordained) Messiah, Jesus."

21節. 直到……時候——涵蓋了基督升天與第二次再來之間的整個時期。
萬物復興——大概包括對墮落所造成之一切混亂的撥亂反正。
英文原文
21. until the times--embracing the whole period between the ascension and the second advent of Christ.
restitution of all things--comprehending, probably, the rectification of all the disorders of the fall.

22-26節. 一位先知……像我——特別是在與神親密的交通上
(Nu 12:6-8),
以及作為新秩序的中保元首上
(Heb 3:2-6)。
彼得認為,在他剛才所說的一切話的光照下,人們必立刻看出只有一位有資格作那位先知。
你們要聽從他等——預言的這一部分被強調地加上,為要使聽眾不得不順服信心,否則便要從義人的會中被「剪除」
(Ps 1:1)。
英文原文
22-26. a prophet . . . like unto me--particularly in intimacy of communication with God
(Nu 12:6-8),
and as the mediatorial Head of a new order of things
(Heb 3:2-6).
Peter takes it for granted that, in the light of all he had just said, it would be seen at once that One only had any claim to be that Prophet.
him shall ye hear in all things, &c.--This part of the prediction is emphatically added, in order to shut up the audience to the obedience of faith, on pain of being finally "cut off" from the congregation of the righteous
(Ps 1:1).

24. 預言……這些日子——即彌賽亞的日子;全都指向「振興的時候」
(Heb 9:10),
儘管清晰程度有所不同。
英文原文
24. foretold of these days--of Messiah; all pointing to "the time of reformation"
(Heb 9:10),
though with more or less distinctness.

25. 你們是……約的子孫——因此是約中應許的天然後嗣。
地上萬族都要因你的後裔等等得福——(參見
Ga 3:8
等等。)
英文原文
25. Ye are the children . . . of the covenant--and so the natural heirs of its promises.
in thy seed, &c.--(See on
Ga 3:8,
&c.).
26
無標題
26. 神已經興起——不是指從死裡復活,而是指預備、安排並賜下。
他的兒子耶穌——即「他的僕人耶穌」(參 Ac 3:13 注)。
差遣他來賜福給你們——直譯為「差遣祂來祝福你們」,彷彿祂滿載著祝福而來。
叫你們各人回轉,離開罪惡——意即:「我們一直太過期待一位能為整個國家、並透過國家為世界傾倒外在福分的彌賽亞。但我們如今學到了別的事,現在向你們宣告:彌賽亞所滿載而來的至大福分,乃是叫你們各人回轉、離開罪惡。」使徒以不可抗拒的事實為基礎,在此何等巧妙地將釘死榮耀之主的罪愆深擊聽眾的良心;繼而以悔改歸主即蒙赦免的應許來撫慰他們甦醒的心,並應許此事一旦成就便有榮耀的未來,而以基督從升天之處親自再臨為終;最後以他們自己聖經中的警告作結——若不順服祂便要滅亡,並呼召他們從祂領受救恩的福分。
英文原文
26. God, having raised up--not from the dead, but having provided, prepared, and given.
his Son Jesus--"His Servant Jesus" (see on
Ac 3:13).
sent him to bless you--literally, "sent Him blessing you," as if laden with blessing.
in turning away every one of you from his iniquities--that is, "Hitherto we have all been looking too much for a Messiah who should shed outward blessings upon the nation generally, and through it upon the world. But we have learned other things, and now announce to you that the great blessing with which Messiah has come laden is the turning away of every one of you from his iniquities." With what divine skill does the apostle, founding on resistless facts, here drive home to the conscience of his auditors their guilt in crucifying the Lord of Glory; then soothe their awakened minds by assurances of forgiveness on turning to the Lord, and a glorious future as soon as this shall come to pass, to terminate with the Personal Return of Christ from the heavens whither He has ascended; ending all with warnings, from their own Scriptures, to submit to Him if they would not perish, and calls to receive from Him the blessings of salvation.
徒3:1-26。
彼得在殿門口醫治一個瘸子——他對驚奇的群眾的講論。
1-11. 彼得、約翰——已經被他們的主先與雅各
(Mr 1:29; 5:37; 9:2),
後來單獨
(Lu 22:8; 見
Joh 13:23, 24)
聯繫在一起。如今我們看見他們經常同在,但約翰(還年輕)只是默默的同行者。
上聖殿去——正上去,正在途中。
