19主耶稣的生活是谦让宜人最好的说明。想想祂如何对那两个往以马忤斯去的门徒说话。路加二十四章十五节说，这两个门徒“正谈话讨论的时候，耶稣亲自就近他们，和他们同行”。主耶稣对他们说，“你们走路彼此交谈的是什么事？”（17）两个门徒的其中一位带着责备的口吻说，“独有你在耶路撒冷作客，不知道这几天在那里所发生的事么？”（18）主好像一无所知的问道：“什么事？”（19上）然后他们就开始告诉祂关于拿撒勒人耶稣的事，他们形容祂是个“申言者，在神和众百姓面前，行事说话都有大能”（19下）。他们接着又说，祭司长和官长把祂解去定了死罪，钉祂十字架。主比这两个门徒知道得更多，却听这两个门徒讲说，这看出主是何等的谦让宜人！他们走了一段相当长的路程，“将近他们所要去的村子，耶稣好像还要往前行。”（28）然而，“他们却强留祂……。耶稣就进去，要同他们住下。”（29）主甚至与他们一同坐席。当祂拿起饼来，祝福了，擘开，递给他们的时候，“他们的眼睛开了，这才认出祂来。”（31）在这整个过程中，我们看见主的谦让宜人。
19The life of the Lord Jesus is the best illustration of forbearance. Consider how He spoke to those two disciples on the way to Emmaus. Luke 24:15 says that while these disciples “were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.” The Lord Jesus said to them, “What are these words which you are exchanging with one another while you are walking?” And “they stood still, looking sad” (v. 17). With a rebuking tone, one of the disciples answered, “Do You alone dwell as a stranger in Jerusalem and not know the things which have taken place in it in these days?” (v. 18). Appearing not to know anything, the Lord asked, “What things?” (v. 19). Then they proceeded to tell Him about Jesus the Nazarene, One they described as a “Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people.” They went on to say that the chief priests and the rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death and crucified Him. How forbearing the Lord was to listen to the disciples speak things that He knew much better than they did! After walking quite a distance, “they drew near to the village where they were going, and He acted as though He would go farther” (v. 28). However, “they constrained Him…And He went in to stay with them” (v. 29). The Lord even sat down to dine with them. When He took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, “their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him” (v. 31). In all of this we see the Lord’s forbearance.
