21/6/2023 不可毁谤你百姓的官长

徒23:2-5

大祭司亚拿尼亚、就吩咐旁边站着的人打他的嘴。保罗对他说、你这粉饰的墙、神要打你．你坐堂为的是按律法审问我、你竟违背律法、吩咐人打我么。站在旁边的人说、你辱骂神的大祭司么。保罗说、弟兄们、我不晓得他是大祭司．经上记着说、『不可毁谤你百姓的官长。』

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?" Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?" Paul said, "I didn't know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"

主耶稣！使徒保罗明明知道大祭司亚拿尼亚的不义, 却是不忘圣经的教诲, 不可毁谤你百姓的官长。主啊！这也是我们所需要的认知, 明知上位者有不对, 也不可以毁谤。
