20 August 八月| Luke 路3:23-38

In this genealogy, which names stand out to you? What do you know

about them? What can you conclude about Jesus’ earthly ancestry from

what you know of this genealogy?

在这个家谱中，哪些名字对你很有吸引力？你对他们了解多少？

你能从你所知道的这个家谱中得出关于耶稣的地上血统的结论吗？

Note:

The genealogy differs from that of Matthew in that it goes back beyond Abraham,

and the origin of the Jewish race, to Adam, and the origin of the whole human race

注：此家谱与马太福音的不同之处在于它超越了亚伯拉罕，犹太种族的起源，

亚当，以及整个人类的起源。

19August 八月| Luke 路3:1-22

What, according to the preaching of John, are the cause (v7–9, 16, 17),

nature (v8, 10–14), and outcome (v3, 15–17) of repentance?

照施洗约翰的讲词，悔改的原因（7-9, 16, 17节）、

本质（8, 10-14节）与结果（3, 15-17节）是什么？

What did Jesus’ baptism, and the voice from heaven, mean: (a) to Jesus

himself, and (b) to the others present? Cf. John 1:32–34.

耶稣受洗，和从天上来的声音：(a)对于祂自己，和(b)对当时在场的民众，各有什么意义？比较约1：32-34。

Consider the fearless honesty of John. Note also its result (v19, 20).

试思考施洗约翰那无畏的诚实，也注意其结果（19,20节）

Notes:

v22. The voice combines references to the Old Testament Messianic figures of the Son of God (Ps.2:7) and the suffering Servant of the Lord (Is. 42:1), thus setting the tone of Jesus’ ministry. 22节，

这个声音将旧约论神的儿子为弥赛亚的喻象（诗2：7），与耶和华受苦的仆人的

预言（赛42：1）连结起来，这样，便将耶稣工作的性质表明出来。

v49. What was the consequence in his life of Jesus’ unique relationship to God? In what way does this truth apply to us, as sons of God? Cf. John 14:31.

49节。耶稣基督的生命与神独特的关系，为祂的生命带

来什么结果？身为神的儿女，前面说的事实如何应用到

我们身上呢？比较约14：31。

How does the story illustrate the truths of verses 40 and 52?

这个故事如何说明了40节和52节的真理呢？
