Be a church serving others 作服事别人的教会 Matthew 马太福音20:20-28 Matthew 马太福音20:20-28 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. 21 “What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” 22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered. 23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.” 那时,西庇太儿子的母亲同他两个儿子上前来拜耶稣,求 他 一 件 事 。21 耶 稣 说 : 你 要 甚 么 呢 ? 他 说 : 愿 你 叫 我 这 两 个 儿 子 在 你 国 里 , 一 个 坐 在 你 右 边 , 一 个 坐 在 你 左 边 。22 耶 稣 回答说:你们不知道所求的是甚么;我将要喝的杯,你们 能 喝 么 ? 他 们 说 : 我 们 能 。23 耶 稣 说 : 我 所 喝 的 杯 , 你 们 必 要喝;只是坐在我的左右,不是我可以赐的,乃是我父为 谁预备的,就赐给谁。 24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 24 那 十 个 门 徒 听 见 , 就 恼 怒 他 们 弟 兄 二 人 。25 耶 稣 叫 了 他们来,说:你们知道外邦人有君王为主治理他们, 有 大 臣 操 权 管 束 他 们 。26 只 是 在 你 们 中 间 , 不 可 这 样 ; 你 们 中 间 谁 愿 为 大 , 就 必 作 你 们 的 用 人 ;27 谁 愿 为 首 , 就 必 作 你 们 的 仆 人 。28 正 如 人 子 来 , 不 是 要 受 人 的 服 事,乃是要服事人,并且要舍命,作多人的赎价。 Background 背景 Two sons = James & John 两个儿子 =雅各和约翰 1.Drink from Jesus’ cup 与耶稣同喝一个杯 (Matthew太20: 22-23) 2.
