順服的榜樣 Obedience to God
路加福音1:26-38
26到了第六個月,天使加百列奉神的差遣往加利利的一座城去,這城名叫拿撒勒,
27到一個童女那裡,是已經許配大衛家的一個人,名叫約瑟。童女的名字叫馬利亞;
28天使進去,對他說:蒙大恩的女子,我問你安,主和你同在了!
29馬利亞因這話就很驚慌,又反復思想這樣問安是甚麼意思。
30天使對他說:馬利亞,不要怕!你在神面前已經蒙恩了。
31你要懷孕生子,可以給他起名叫耶穌。
32他要為大,稱為至高者的兒子;主神要把他祖大衛的位給他。
33他要作雅各家的王,直到永遠;他的國也沒有窮盡。
34馬利亞對天使說:我沒有出嫁,怎麼有這事呢?
35天使回答說:聖靈要臨到你身上,至高者的能力要蔭庇你,因此所要生的聖者必稱為神的兒子(或作:所要生的,必稱為聖,稱為神的兒子)。
36況且你的親戚以利沙伯,在年老的時候也懷了男胎,就是那素來稱為不生育的,現在有孕六個月了。
37因為,出於神的話,沒有一句不帶能力的。
38馬利亞說:我是主的使女,情願照你的話成就在我身上。天使就離開他去了。
Luke 1:26-38
Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”[b] 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[d] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[e] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
