奋斗与勇敢-第278章
(路5:27-32)
“这事以后,耶稣出去,看见一个税吏,名叫利未,坐在税关上,就对他说:你跟从我来。他就撇下所有的,起来,跟从了耶稣”(路5:27,28)。{CC 283.1}[1]

Luke 5:27-32[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第278章
在巴勒斯坦罗马人的官吏中,最为人所恨恶的莫过于税吏了。这种捐税既是外国政府向犹太人征收的,就使他们想起自己已经失去独立国的地位。所以这件事不断地引起他们的愤恨。同时收税的人……也私自勒索敲诈,拿民脂民膏来中饱私囊。一个犹太人若从罗马人手中接受了税吏的职位,就要被看为出卖祖国的蟊贼,离道反教的叛徒,与社会中最卑贱的败类同列。{CC 283.2}[2]

And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. Luke 5:27, 28. {CC 283.1}[2]

利未马太就是属于这一等人。基督在革尼撒勒呼召了四个门徒之后,就召他参加祂的工作。法利赛人曾根据马太的职业来评判他的为人。但耶稣看出这个人有一颗乐意领受真理的心。马太曾听过救主的教训。当上帝感动人的灵使他觉得自己有罪的时候,他渴望向基督求助。但是他看惯拉比们惟我独尊,轻视他人的作风,所以想不到这位大教师会注意到他。{CC 283.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第278章
Of the Roman officials in Palestine, none were more hated than the publicans. The fact that the taxes were imposed by a foreign power was a continual irritation to the Jews, being a reminder that their independence had departed. And the taxgatherers were ... extortioners on their own account, enriching themselves at the expense of the people. A Jew who accepted this office at the hands of the Romans was looked upon as betraying the honor of his nation. He was despised as an apostate, and was classed with the vilest of society. {CC 283.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第278章
有一天,这个税吏坐在税关上看见耶稣向他走来,听见耶稣对他说:“你跟从我来。”心中就大为惊异。马太“就撇下所有的,起来,跟从了耶稣。”他毫不犹豫,毫无疑问,对于现在获利丰厚的事业,将要变成贫穷艰苦的生活,也不在意。只要能与耶稣同在,聆听祂的教训,参加祂的工作,他就心满意足了。……{CC 283.4}[4]

To this class belonged Levi-Matthew, who, after the four disciples at Gennesaret, was the next to be called to Christ’s service. The Pharisees had judged Matthew according to his employment, but Jesus saw in this man a heart open for the reception of truth. Matthew had listened to the Saviour’s teaching. As the convicting Spirit of God revealed his sinfulness, he longed to seek help from Christ; but he was accustomed to the exclusiveness of the rabbis, and had not thought that this Great Teacher would notice him. {CC 283.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第278章
马太是个财主,安得烈和彼得都是穷人,然而他们各人所受的考验是一样的,所表现献身的诚意也没有分别。正在他们成功的时候,正在网中满了鱼,旧生活的吸引力最强的时候,耶稣却叫那两个海边的门徒撇下一切来为福音的工作效劳。照样,每一个人也必须经过考验,看他心中对于属世利益的欲望和跟从基督的心愿究竟何者为强。(DA272,273){CC 283.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第278章
Sitting at his toll booth one day, the publican saw Jesus approaching. Great was his astonishment to hear the words addressed to himself, “Follow me.” Matthew “left all, rose up, and followed him.” There was no hesitation, no questioning, no thought of the lucrative business to be exchanged for poverty and hardship. It was enough for him that he was to be with Jesus, that he might listen to His words, and unite with Him in His work.... {CC 283.4}[5]
