读圣经——“这儿多好”
8月6日
GOSPEL[Mark 9:2-10]
9:2 [hgb] 过了六天,耶稣带着彼得,雅各,约翰,暗暗的上了高山,就在他们面前变了形像。
[kjv] And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and
John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves:
and he was transfigured before them.
9:3 [hgb] 衣服放光,极其洁白。地上漂布的,没有一个能漂得那样白。
[kjv] And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so
as no fuller on earth can white them.
9:4 [hgb] 忽然有以利亚同摩西向他们显现。并且和耶稣说话。
[kjv] And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were
talking with Jesus.
9:5 [hgb] 彼得对耶稣说,拉比,(拉比就是夫子)我们在这里真好。可以搭三座棚,一座为你,一座为摩西,一座为以利亚。
[kjv] And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for
us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and
one for Moses, and one for Elias.
9:6 [hgb] 彼得不知道说什么才好。因为他们甚是惧怕,
[kjv] For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
9:7 [hgb] 有一朵云彩来遮盖他们。也有声音从云彩里出来说,这是我的爱子,你们要听他。
[kjv] And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came
out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
9:8 [hgb] 门徒忽然周围一看,不见一人,只见耶稣同他们在那里。
[kjv] And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no
man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9:9 [hgb] 下山的时候,耶稣嘱咐他们说,人子还没有从死里复活,你们不要将所看见的告诉人。
[kjv] And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that
they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of
man were risen from the dead.
9:10 [hgb] 门徒将这话存记在心,彼此议论从死里复活是什么意思。
[kjv] And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with
another what the rising from the dead should mean.
——This is the word of the lord!
今天,怀着虔敬的心走入主的圣殿,在宁静而神圣的教堂里听神父读到这段话,听到耶稣的大徒弟伯多禄说:“这里真好”时,我突然心有所感,是啊,“这儿真好!”——在教堂里听到那些美妙的音乐时,在与好友们一起作泰泽祈祷时,在领过圣体与耶稣心灵相汇时……我也总是感叹,“这儿真好啊,主啊!多希望永远是这样……”在世间如同在天堂,因为我们的信心,更因为主的恩宠,让我们在此凡世体会到了天堂的快乐。也因为在世间,这快乐是瞬间的、短暂的,唯有到了那儿——我们永远的故乡,永恒的圣所,才能够享有永恒的爱与祝福……
早先,在读到《圣经》中的这一段时,也没有多想,根据解释,只以为是Peter因为突然见到朝夕相处的老师变了容貌而过于惊慌,过于激动,不知说什么好,所以就不知所云地说:“我们在这里真好。可以搭三座棚…”但今天,才知道他除了惊诧之外,更多的是见到天主真容的大喜悦。
另,我在想:马尔谷记载的这篇福音中提到:“忽然有以利亚同摩西向他们显现。并且和耶稣说话”然而,伯多禄他们当时并没有见过那两位先知(据记载,在公元三世纪之前,人们极少给圣人画像),那么他又如何知道是这两位呢?会不会是三位一体(圣父、圣子、圣神)的又一次显现呢?
