摩尔门经 · 第 22 个故事基督降临美洲(约公元 34 年)
耶稣向美洲的人民显现
Jesus Appears in Bountiful
一句话概要
复活的耶稣从天降临到满地富的圣殿旁,向聚集的百姓显现;他邀请每个人上前摸他手脚上的钉痕,然后教导他们、呼召十二门徒。
故事概要
黑暗过后,大约有两千五百人聚集在满地富的圣殿周围,谈论着发生的事。他们听见从天上来的声音,那声音不刺耳也不响亮,却很微小,刺透了他们的心;他们听了三次才明白,那是天父的声音,介绍他的爱子,叫他们听他。他们抬头望天,看见一个人从天上降下来,穿着白袍,站在他们中间。他伸出手说:我就是耶稣基督,众先知曾见证要来到世上的那一位。众人都俯伏在地;耶稣请他们起来,上前把手放进他肋旁,摸他手上和脚上的钉痕,好让他们知道他是以色列的神,已经为世人的罪被杀。众人一个一个地上前,亲眼看见、亲手摸到,然后同声呼喊“和散那”,俯伏敬拜他。接着,耶稣呼召尼腓和其他人作他的十二门徒,赐给他们施洗的权柄,并教导他们关于洗礼和他的教义。

为什么重要
这是摩尔门经的高潮:复活的基督亲自向另一群“别的羊”显现(参约 10:16)。他第一件事就是让每一个人亲手摸他的伤痕,一个一个来——显出他对每个人的关心。天父介绍爱子、叫人“听他”,也和新约中耶稣受洗和登山变像时的声音相呼应。

And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
读经之前
- 注意 11:3–7:人们听了三次才明白那个声音。
- 留意耶稣的第一句话(11:10–11)和他请大家做的第一件事(11:14)。
- 接下来的第12–14章是耶稣在美洲的讲道,和登山宝训非常相似,可以对照阅读。
