隻要從你的意思 — 馬可福音讀經隨筆 第14章

馬可福音第十四章第32—41節，耶穌在被捕之前，他和門徒們來到一個名字叫客西馬尼的地方。想到自己要麵臨被捕和十字架的刑罰，耶穌就難過憂傷的要死。他是聖潔的，無罪的，卻將要替罪人而死，十字架的刑罰是何等痛苦。他三次俯伏在地向天父禱告：“求你將這杯撤去，然而不要從我的意思，隻要從你的意思”，這杯就是十字架。天父沒有應允，當然耶穌曉得天父的意思，因為耶穌說過他被差遣本是為此。

可14:32 他們來到一個地方、名叫客西馬尼．耶穌對門徒說、你們坐在這裏、等我禱告。
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
可14:33 於是帶著彼得、雅各、約翰同去、就驚恐起來、極其難過。
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
可14:34 對他們說、我心裏甚是憂傷、幾乎要死．你們在這裏、等候儆醒。
He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."
可14:35 他就稍往前走、俯伏在地禱告說、倘若可行、便叫那時候過去。
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
可14:36 他說、阿爸、父阿、在你凡事都能．求你將這杯撤去．然而不要從我的意思、隻要從你的意思。
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
可14:37 耶穌回來、見他們睡著了、就對彼得說、西門、你睡覺麽。不能儆醒片時麽。
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?
可14:38 總要儆醒禱告、免得入了迷惑．你們心靈固然願意、肉體卻軟弱了。
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
可14:39 耶穌又去禱告、說的話還是與先前一樣。
Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
可14:40 又來、見他們睡著了、因為他們的眼睛甚是困倦．他們也不知道怎麽回答。
Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.
可14:41 第三次來、對他們說、現在你們仍然睡覺安歇吧．〔吧或作麽〕夠了、時候到了．看哪、人子被賣在罪人手裏了。
He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
