耶穌知道每一個人 — 約翰福音讀經隨筆 第2章

約翰福音第二章第23—25節說耶穌知道每一個人。從外貌說，他認識每一個人並知道名字。還記得路加福音裏那個爬樹的稅吏長嗎？盡管從未謀麵，耶穌抬頭看到他就脫口叫出他的名字撒該。從裏麵說，耶穌知道人心裏所存的。還記得耶穌治愈那個從房頂子被朋友係下去的那個癱子嗎?耶穌對這個癱子說你的罪赦了，當時在場的文士和法利賽人心裏就議論說耶穌儹妄，耶穌就馬上說：“你們心裏議論的是甚麽呢...但要叫你們知道人子在地上有赦罪的權柄”。可見，神從裏到外知道每一個人。

約2:23 當耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候、有許多人看見他所行的神跡、就信了他的名。
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
約2:24 耶穌卻不將自己交托他們、因為他知道萬人．
But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
約2:25 也用不著誰見證人怎樣．因他知道人心裏所存的。
and because he didn't need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
