18照着约翰的记载,主复活以后,在一个门都关了的屋子里与门徒相见(约二十19)。门徒因怕犹太人,都甚战兢。因为他们需要借着生命得加强,主就以生命临到他们,向他们吹气,并告诉他们要受圣气(22)。……照着马太,主嘱咐门徒到加利利的山上。当然,祂是在白昼,而不是在晚上,在那座山上与他们相见。此外,当祂在山上与他们相见时,没有向他们吹气,并告诉他们要受圣气。祂乃是说,“天上地上所有的权柄,都赐给我了。”〔太二八18〕在马太福音,不是吹气的问题,乃是权柄的问题。约翰所关心的是生命,生命需要气息。但马太所关心的是国度,国度需要权柄。约翰福音启示出我们需要生命,以照顾小羊并喂养主的羊群。但在马太二十八章没有说到喂养小羊。在马太福音,主吩咐门徒使万民作主的门徒(二八19),使万民成为国度的一部分。这需要权柄。因此,在约翰福音,复活是生命、能力、气息以及牧养的事。然而,在马太福音,复活是公义、权柄并使万民作主门徒的事(马太福音生命读经,九一四至九一五页)。 18According to John’s record, after His resurrection the Lord met with His disciples in a room where the doors had been shut (20:19). The disciples were frightened, being afraid of the Jews. Because they needed to be strengthened by life, the Lord came to them as life, breathed upon them, and told them to receive the holy breath (v. 22)…According to Matthew, the Lord charged the disciples to go to a mountain in Galilee. Surely He met with them on that mountain during the day, not during the night. Furthermore, when He met with them on the mountain, He did not breathe upon them and tell them to receive the holy breath. Instead, He said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” In Matthew it is not a matter of breath but a matter of authority. John’s concern was for life, and life requires breath. But Matthew’s concern was for the kingdom, and the kingdom requires authority. The Gospel of John reveals that we need life to care for the little lambs and to feed the Lord’s flock. But in Matthew 28 there is no word about feeding the lambs. In Matthew the Lord commanded the disciples to disciple all the nations (v. 19) in order to make all the nations part of the kingdom. This requires authority. Therefore, in John resurrection is a matter of life, power, breath, and shepherding. However, in Matthew it is a matter of righteousness, authority, and discipling the nations.
