贰 约翰二十一章启示使徒的职事与基督天上的职事合作；该章是约翰福音的完成和总结： |
Ⅱ John 21 reveals the apostolic ministry in cooperation with Christ's heavenly ministry; it is the completion and consummation of the Gospel of John: |
一 约翰福音有二十一章，但事实上结束于二十章。 |
A The Gospel of John has twenty-one chapters, but it actually ends with chapter 20. |
二 整卷书说到基督在地上的职事，开始于祂这神的话成为肉体，成了一个在肉体里的人（一14），结束于祂这末后亚当的复活，成了赐生命的灵（二十22）；因此，二十一章应当是一篇附言。 |
B The entire book covers the earthly ministry of Christ, beginning with His incarnation as the Word of God to become a man in the flesh (1:14) and ending with His resurrection as the last Adam to become the life-giving Spirit (20:22); hence, chapter 21 should be an appendix. |
三 这样说虽然是对的，但更内在地说，约翰二十一章乃是约翰福音的完成和总结；该章总结整卷约翰福音，给我们看见基督在天上的职事与使徒在地上的职事一起合作，以完成神的经纶。 |
C Although it is correct to say this, it is more intrinsic to say that John 21 is the completion and consummation of the Gospel of John; it consummates the entire Gospel of John by showing that Christ's heavenly ministry and the apostles' ministry on the earth cooperate together to carry out God's economy. |
叁 在约翰十章十至十一节和十六节，主向门徒揭示，祂是好牧人，来使羊更丰盛地得着生命，并且祂另外有羊（外邦人），祂必须领这另外的羊与他们（犹太信徒）合为一群（一个召会），归于一个牧人之下： |
Ⅲ In John 10:10-11 and 16 the Lord unveiled to the disciples that He was the good Shepherd who came that the sheep might have life abundantly and that He had other sheep (the Gentiles) that He must lead to join with them (the Jewish believers) to be one flock (one church) under one Shepherd: |
一 主的牧养先是在祂地上的职事里—太九36，参十1~6。 |
A The Lord's shepherding was first in His earthly ministry—Matt. 9:36; cf. 10:1-6. |
二 然后，主的牧养是在祂天上的职事里（彼前五4），照顾神的召会，结果带进祂的身体。 |
B The Lord's shepherding is second in His heavenly ministry (1 Pet. 5:4) to take care of the church of God, issuing in His Body. |
肆 主托付彼得喂养祂的小羊并牧养祂的羊： |
Ⅳ The Lord commissioned Peter to feed His lambs and shepherd His sheep: |
一 当主在复活之后，并在祂升天之前，与祂的门徒在一起时，在祂一次的显现里，祂托付彼得，当祂不在这里而在诸天之上时，要喂养祂的小羊，并牧养祂的羊—约二一15~17。 |
A When the Lord stayed with His disciples after His resurrection and before His ascension, in one of His appearings, He commissioned Peter to feed His lambs and shepherd His sheep in His absence, while He is in the heavens—John 21:15-17. |
二 这是把使徒的职事与基督天上的职事合并，以照顾神的群羊，就是召会，结果带进基督的身体。 |
B This is to incorporate the apostolic ministry with Christ's heavenly ministry to take care of God's flock, which is the church that issues in the Body of Christ. |
三 随后在使徒行传，彼得说，“我们要坚定持续地祷告，并尽话语的职事”（六4）；这乃是与基督天上的职事合作，这职事乃是代求的职事（来七25），也是将神供应到人里面的职事（八2）。 |
C Later, in the book of Acts, Peter said, "We will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word" (6:4); this is to cooperate with Christ's heavenly ministry of intercession (Heb. 7:25) and of ministering God into His people (8:2). |
四 彼得对主的这个托付印象非常深刻，以致在他的前书里，他告诉信徒，他们好像羊走迷了路，如今却归到他们魂的牧人和监督了—彼前二25： |
D Peter was so impressed with this commission of the Lord that in his first book he tells the believers that they were like sheep being led astray, but they have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of their souls—1 Pet. 2:25: |
１ 基督住在我们里面，作我们的生命和一切，但祂也监督、察看我们内里所是的光景和情形。2 祂借着顾到我们里面各部分的益处，并监督我们魂（就是我们真人位）的光景，而牧养我们—参来十三17。 |
１ Christ indwells us to be our life and everything, but He is also overseeing, observing, the condition and situation of our inner being. |
五 彼得劝勉长老，要牧养他们中间神的群羊，好使他们这些忠信的长老在牧长显现的时候，得着那不能衰残的荣耀冠冕—彼前五1~4。 |
２ He shepherds us by caring for the welfare of our inner being and by exercising His oversight over the condition of our soul, our real person—cf. Heb. 13:17. |
六 彼得的话指明，基督天上的职事主要的是牧养神的召会，就是祂的群羊，结果带进祂的身体。 |
E Peter exhorts the elders to shepherd the flock of God among them so that when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, they, the faithful elders, will receive the unfading crown of glory—1 Pet. 5:1-4. |
晨兴喂养
约十10~11 ……我来了，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。我是好牧人，好牧人为羊舍命。 二一16 ……约翰的儿子西门，你爱我么？彼得对祂说，主啊，是的，你知道我爱你。耶稣对他说，你牧养我的羊。 约翰二十一章启示，使徒的职事与基督天上的职事合作。基督升到诸天之上以后，就开始了祂天上的职事。为此，祂兴起一班跟随祂的人作祂的使徒，他们能与祂完全的合作。这些使徒受升天基督的托付，与祂合作，以完成神新约的经纶。祂在诸天之上所作的，使徒就在地上作，以完成祂天上的职事。 整卷〔约翰福音〕说到基督在地上的职事，开始于祂这神的话成为肉体，成了一个在肉体里的人（一1~14），结束于祂这末后亚当的复活，成了赐生命的灵（二十）。……约翰二十一章乃是约翰福音的完成和总结……，给我们看见基督在天上的职事与使徒在地上的职事一起合作，以完成神新约的经纶（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册，五七二至五七三页）。 |
信息选读
主的牧养先是在祂地上的职事里（太九36）。主看见以色列人如同羊，受到他们首领的搅扰；他们如同羊流离，没有牧人。主这位神选民的牧人就祷告，于是神告诉祂所差的这一位，要设立十二使徒，使他们照顾神的羊（十1~6）。……然后，主的牧养是在祂天上的职事里（彼前五4），照顾神的召会，结果带进祂的身体。……祂复活升天之后，仍然在牧养。 当主在复活之后，并在祂升天之前，……在祂一次的显现里，祂托付彼得，当祂不在这里而在诸天之上时，要喂养祂的小羊，并牧养祂的羊（约二一15~17）。牧养含示喂养，但牧养所包含的比喂养要多。牧养乃是给群羊周全、柔细的照顾。……这是把使徒的职事与基督天上的职事合并，以照顾神的羊群，就是召会，结果带进基督的身体。 基督牧养祂的群羊，包括照顾他们外面的事物，以及他们内里的所是，就是他们的魂〔彼前二25〕。……基督住在我们里面，作我们的生命和一切，但祂也监督、察看我们内里所是的光景和情形。祂借着顾到我们里面各部分的益处，并监督我们魂（就是我们真人位）的光景，而牧养我们（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册，五七三至五七四、五七六页）。 我们在已过讲说并教导了很多，但很少牧养。……我们的牧养该一直带着教导，而我们的教导也应当一直带着牧养。 基督在祂天上的职事里一直在牧养人，我们需要与祂合作牧养人。没有牧养，我们为主的工作就不会有果效。我们必须学习一切的真理，使我们有话可说，然后去接触人，牧养他们。 基督是人子，来救赎我们脱离罪（提前一15）—顾惜。这是新约的第一部分。……基督是神子，来将神圣的生命丰盛地分赐到我们里面（约十10）—喂养。这是新约的第二部分（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，一二七至一二八、一八六至一八七页）。 参读：约翰福音结晶读经，第十三篇。 |
John 10:10-11 …I have come that they may have life and may have it abundantly. I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 21:16…Simon, son of John, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Shepherd My sheep. John 21 reveals the apostolic ministry in cooperation with Christ’s heavenly ministry. After Christ ascended to the heavens, He began His heavenly ministry. In doing this, He raised up a group of His followers as His apostles who could fully cooperate with Him. These apostles were commissioned by the ascended Christ to cooperate with Him to carry out God’s New Testament economy. What He was doing in the heavens, the apostles did on earth to carry out His heavenly ministry. The entire book [of John] covers the earthly ministry of Christ, beginning with His incarnation as the Word of God to become a man in the flesh (1:1-14) and ending with His resurrection as the last Adam to become the life-giving Spirit (ch. 20)…John 21 is the completion and consummation of the Gospel of John…showing that Christ’s heavenly ministry and the apostles’ ministry on the earth cooperate together to carry out God’s New Testament economy.
