愛耶穌就是遵守他的道 — 約翰福音讀經隨筆 第14章

約翰福音第十四章第15—25節，耶穌告訴門徒們做什麽是愛他。耶穌說愛他就是遵守他的道或者說遵守他的命令，不愛他的人就不遵守他的道。並且，耶穌在被捕之前還給了門徒們一條新命令，那就是彼此相愛。

 

約14:15 你們若愛我、就必遵守我的命令。
If you love me, keep my commandments.
約14:21 有了我的命令又遵守的、這人就是愛我的．愛我的必蒙我父愛他、我也要愛他、並且要向他顯現。
One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
約14:22 猶大（不是加略人猶大)問耶穌說、主阿、為甚麽要向我們顯現、不向世人顯現呢。
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
約14:23 耶穌回答說、人若愛我、就必遵守我的道．我父也必愛他、並且我們要到他那裏去、與他同住。
Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.
約14:24 不愛我的人就不遵守我的道．你們所聽見的道不是我的、乃是差我來之父的道。
He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.
約14:25 我還與你們同住的時候、已將這些話對你們說了。
I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
