世人不能恨你們卻是恨我 — 約翰福音讀經隨筆 第7章

約翰福音第七章第1—9節說耶穌不願去猶太，因為猶太人想要殺他。但是當猶太人的住棚節臨近的時候，由於他的弟兄們也不相信他，並且嫉妒眼紅耶穌所行的，就用帶著挖苦意味的話勸耶穌去猶太。他的弟兄們可能認為耶穌是出風頭顯揚自己的名，所以羨慕嫉妒恨，恨不得他去猶太被害。耶穌就對他們說“世人不能恨你們卻是恨我，因為我指證他們所作的事是惡的”。世人所作的事是惡的，而世人不恨耶穌的弟兄們，可見耶穌的弟兄們所作的事與耶穌所做的不同。

約7:1 這事以後、耶穌在加利利遊行、不願在猶太遊行．因為猶太人想要殺他。
After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
約7:2 當時猶太人的住棚節近了。
Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
約7:3 耶穌的弟兄就對他說、你離開這裏上猶太去吧、叫你的門徒也看見你所行的事。
His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
約7:4 人要顯揚名聲、沒有在暗處行事的．你如果行這些事、就當將自己顯明給世人看。
For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."
約7:5 因為連他的弟兄說這話、是因為不信他。
For even his brothers didn't believe in him.
約7:6 耶穌就對他們說、我的時候還沒有到．你們的時候常是方便的。
Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
約7:7 世人不能恨你們、卻是恨我．因為我指證他們所作的事是惡的。
The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
約7:8 你們上去過節吧．我現在不上去過這節．因為我的時候還沒有滿。
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
約7:9 耶穌說了這話、仍舊住在加利利。
Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
