JY Bible Notes 聖經小筆記

  1️⃣ Luke uses the word “inn,” but not in the modern sense. 路加使用了「inn」這個詞，但不是現代意義的旅店。 In Luke 2:7, the King James Version says there was “no room for them in the inn.” However, the Greek word behind this translation is  katalyma , not  pandocheion . 在路加福音 2:7 中，《欽定本》（KJV）使用了 “inn” 這個字， 但其背後的希臘文是  katalyma ，而不是  pandocheion 。 Katalyma  refers to a lodging place or guest space, often within a private home. When Luke later describes a commercial inn in Luke 10:34, he uses a different word:  pandocheion . katalyma  指的是住宿之處或客房，常見於私人住宅中。 而當路加在路加福音 10:34 描寫真正的營業旅店時，他使用的是另一個字  pandocheion 。 This shows that the “inn” in Luke 2 should not automatically be understood as a commercial inn in the modern sense. 這顯示，路加福音 2 章中的「inn」，不應直接等同於現代所理解的營業旅店。 2️⃣ “No room” means full, not rejection. 「沒有地方」的意思是客房已滿，而不是被拒絕。 The text gives no indication of rejection, hostility, or discrimination. It simply states that there was no available space in the lodging area. 經...

From WVBS Russell Haffner Luke 10:18 — “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” 路加福音 10:18 —「我曾看見撒但從天上墜落，像閃電一樣」 There have been various interpretations of this phrase. 這句話有幾種常見的解釋： The Original Fall of Satan — 撒但最初的墮落 Isaiah 14:12  — "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!" 以賽亞書 14:12  —「明亮之星，早晨之子啊，你何竟從天墜落！」 Jude 1:6  — "And the angels who did not keep their proper domain... He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness." 猶大書 1:6  —「不守本位、離開自己住處的天使，主用鎖鏈把他們永遠拘留在黑暗裡，等候大日的審判。」 A Prophecy of Satan’s Final Defeat — 撒但最終毀滅的預言 Revelation 20:10  — "The devil... was thrown into the lake of fire..." 啟示錄 20:10  —「那迷惑人的魔鬼被扔在硫磺的火湖裡...」 The Present Collapse of Satan’s Power — 撒但權勢正在瓦解 In the context ( Luke 10:17–20 ), Jesus saw that the disciples’ victories over demons were signs of Satan’s power breaking — as sudden and visible as lightning. 在上下文（路加福音 10:17–20）中，耶穌所看見的，是門徒趕鬼得勝的時刻，顯明撒但權勢正在迅速瓦解，如閃電般驟然而清晰可見。 Luke 10:20 — “Do not rejo...

below is by    Dan Jenkins  at  https://churchofchristarticles.com/kingdom-lords-supper/ Jesus taught the Lord’s Supper would be part of the kingdom.  It was in the upper room that Jesus promised He would eat the Lord’s Supper with His followers when the kingdom came. Jesus said, “But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom” (Matt. 26:29). He and eighty-three other Divinely sent messengers had proclaimed that the kingdom was about to be established.  Now in the upper room, what Jesus said placed a time limit on the time it would come. He said, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I say to you I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God . . .  I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes” (Luke 22:15-18). His words clearly state that the cup with the fru...

Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: Willow Avenue Church of Christ https://www.willowcofc.net/ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Mat 18:21  Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Mat 18:22  Jesus *said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Mat 18:21   那時，彼得進前來，對耶穌說：「主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？」 Mat 18:22   耶穌說：「我對你說，不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次。 Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. 弟兄們，今天早上我想向你們分享關於原諒得罪你們的弟兄的問題，這不是個新鮮的課題。 即使是耶穌在這個世上時，這問題也存在。他們很困擾，以至於其中一個使徒覺得有必要來直接向耶穌詢問這件事。 How frequently should I forgive my brother? I me...
