And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.Luke 6:12.{UL 80.1}[1]

在《路加福音》中我们读到论及基督的话,说,“那时耶稣出去上山祷告,整夜祷告上帝”(路6:12)。属世的人往往整夜作计划,以期获得成功;耶稣也曾用不少整夜的工夫祷告。祂独自与他父同在,大声哀哭流泪寻求主。祂似乎痛苦忧伤万状。为何如此呢?祂来到自己的葡萄园要得着属乎祂的,但祂却被拒绝,受虐待。他们(他的仇敌)正设谋要把祂钉十字架。祂越来越多遭受撒但爪牙的攻击。祭司官长们所显示对祂工作的抗拒与祂神圣性的强烈证据相称。他们嫉妒祂,因祂具有吸引人亲近祂的能力。祂的舌头真像擅长著作者的笔。祂本身正如诸知识的库房,即祂的比喻和实例将真理开启与不学无术的人。在祂的教导之下,不能从书卷学习真理的人,就可以从大自然中学习得来。{UL 80.2}[2]

In Luke we read of Christ, “It came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God” (chap. 6:12). Men of the world often spend whole nights planning, in order to secure success; and Jesus spent many nights in prayer. He was alone with His Father, earnestly seeking the Lord with strong crying and tears. He seemed to be in an agony of distress. Why was this? He had come to His vineyard to claim His own, but He was rejected, abused. They [His enemies] were then laying plans to crucify Him. He was more and more ... beset by satanic agencies. The resistance shown by the priests and rulers to His work corresponded to the convincing evidences of His divinity. They were jealous of Him because He possessed a power that drew the people to Him. His tongue was like the pen of a ready writer. He was the very treasure house of knowledge, and His parables and illustrations made the truth plain to the unlearned. Under His teaching those who could not learn the truth from books could learn it from nature.{UL 80.2}[2]

但那受托以上帝圣言,好作忠诚解说经文者,竟拒绝并否认上天差来的教师。基督看出他们的精神与所持的原则,全然与圣经相反。祂也知道上帝的圣言被误解和妄用。祂晓得民众的教师们既按照他的偏邪的判断力念读经文,若要教导民众以正当的方式读经乃何等困难的事。他该怎样行才能使他们的心肠软化顺服呢?这就是他祷告的主题。{UL 80.3}[3]

But those who had been entrusted with the oracles of God, that they might be faithful expositors of the Scriptures, rejected and denied the Teacher sent from heaven. Christ saw that their spirit and principles were entirely contrary to the Scriptures. He saw that the Word of God was misinterpreted and misapplied. He saw how difficult it would be to instruct the people to read the Scriptures correctly, when their teachers read them in the light of their perverted judgment. What could He do to soften and subdue their hearts? This was the burden of His prayer.{UL 80.3}[3]

犹太人,只要他们肯的话,就可以悔改,可是他们所穿着的是他们自以为义的衣服。他们自称为亚伯拉罕的后裔,视凡给予以色列的诸应许为属于他们的。然而上帝的以色列人乃是已悔改的人,而非亚伯拉罕肉身正统的后裔。“犹太人有什么长处,割礼有什么益处呢?凡事大有好处,第一是上帝的圣言交托他们”(罗3:1,2)。“因为外面作犹太人的,不是真犹太人;外面肉身的割礼,也不是真割礼。惟有里面作的,才是真犹太人;真割礼也是心里的,在乎灵,不在乎仪文。这人的称赞不是从人来的,乃是从上帝来的”(罗2:28,29)。(《文稿》1898年31a号,3月7日,“祂自己的人不接待祂”{UL 80.4}[4]

The Jewish people might have repented, if they would, but they were clothed with the garments of their own self-righteousness. They claimed to be the descendants of Abraham, and looked upon every promise made to Israel as theirs. But the Israel of God are those who are converted, not those who are the lineal descendants of Abraham. “What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God” (Romans 3:1, 2). “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” (chap. 2:28, 29).—Manuscript 31a, March 7, 1898, “His Own Received Him Not.”{UL 80.4}[4]
