《Jesus and the shekel》《耶穌和舍克勒》
※Money in the House of the Lord?
《在聖殿裡兌換銀子》
＊Of all the things Jesus did during his final week in Jerusalem, none was more astonishing than the cleansing of the Temple.
耶穌在世最後一周，在耶路撒冷所做的一切事，都沒有比「潔淨聖殿」更令人驚訝的事。
＊“And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons” (Mark 11:15)( Mt 21:12; Lu 19:45.).
15他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌進入聖殿，趕出殿裡做買賣的人，推倒兌換銀錢之人的桌子，和賣鴿子之人的凳子；
＊What were moneychangers doing in the House of the Lord?
貨幣兌換商在聖殿裡做什麼事？
※The real meaning of shekel
＊Moneychangers served an important function in ancient Jerusalem. They changed the foreign currency brought by thousands of pilgrims into the local currency, the shekel.
貨幣兌換商在古代耶路撒冷發揮了重要功用。他們將成千上萬朝聖者帶來的外幣兌換為當地貨幣舍客勒。

@talent：(3603)：כִּכָּר

3-a talent (or large (round) coin)

＊Every visitor to the Temple gave a mandatory donation of a half-shekel coin. Jesus overturned the money-changers’ tables because they had set up their weights within God’s Temple instead of in the marketplace outside.
進入聖殿的每位朝聖者都強制捐贈半舍克勒硬幣。耶穌推翻了兌換銀錢的桌子，因為他們不該在上帝的聖殿內擺放秤子，秤量銀子的重量，而應該是在聖殿外的市場中交易。
※Read the story in Hebrew
＊Jesus’ cleansing of the temple caused a commotion and one theory is that this is part of the reason that he was arrested. Only by reading the Bible in Hebrew can we understand the reason for Jesus’ actions – the moneychangers were weighing out silver, which was inappropriate in God’s house.
耶穌潔淨聖殿引起了騷動，有人認為這是耶穌被捕的原因之一。只有閱讀希伯來語聖經才能理解耶穌行動的原因：貨幣兌換商在聖殿秤量銀子，這在上帝的聖殿；上帝的家裡是不合適的。
