The Bible Says
马太福音 18:21-22 含义

这一教导的对应记载是在路加福音17:4。

那时,彼得开口,请耶稣回到怜悯的话题上来。

先前,在马太福音17:25-18:35的一段或一系列对话中,耶稣分享了迷羊的比喻(马太福音18:12-14)。这个比喻的主要观点之一是神爱祂的儿女,且愿意伴随他们,即使在他们走迷之时仍是如此。耶稣在比喻的开场告诉门徒,他来是要寻找并拯救失丧的人(马太福音18:13)。耶稣继续这一比喻,指示门徒如何试图挽回陷在罪里的弟兄。

彼得耶稣主啊,我弟兄得罪我,我当饶恕他几次呢?他是在问耶稣,他应当如何给怜悯设限。彼得提出了他所认为很好的答案,“到七次可以吗”他的建议可能表明,彼得开始领会耶稣在登山包训中所教导门徒的怜恤原则(马太福音5:7;5:41;5:44;6:12;6:14-15;7:1-2)。

耶稣教导的怜恤原则是,我们给予他人的怜悯与我们从神领受的怜悯是一样的。彼得似乎部分地认识到这一原则,问他是否要饶恕冒犯或得罪他的弟兄七次为止。或者,彼得可能是在回想和应用耶稣在其它地方所说有关饶恕的教导。

“你们要谨慎!若是你的弟兄得罪你,就劝戒他;他若懊悔,就饶恕他。倘若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回转,说:‘我懊悔了,你总要饶恕他。’”
(路加福音17:3-4)

七次对彼得来说似乎相当慷慨了,但彼得是在怜悯和饶恕上设限,而耶稣教导的是无限制的饶恕。

耶稣对彼得的回应具有修辞性且令人难忘,告诉他七次远远不够。耶稣说:“ 我对你说,不是到七次,乃是到七十个七次耶稣不是在教导彼得要将他的怜悯上限设为四百九十,而是在教导彼得不要在怜悯上设限。换言之,只要你的弟兄需要饶恕,就要饶恕得罪你的弟兄不是只饶恕你的弟兄七次,而是要向弟兄显出无限的怜悯和饶恕。

在接下来的经文中,耶稣教导彼得一个比喻来说明这一点。
