《Crucifixion as Curse被釘十字架是受詛咒的》
※In Jewish law (see Deut. 21:23) “the corpse of a judicially executed criminal was hung up for public exposure that branded him as cursed by God.
Carson 提猶太律法記載說:「
23他的屍首不可留在木頭上過夜,必要當日將他葬埋,…。因為被掛的人是在神面前受咒詛的。
23 his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is accursed of God), … (NASB)
~
*The words were also applied in Jesus day to anyone crucified; and therefore the Jews demand that Jesus be crucified rather than banished was aimed at arousing maximum public revulsion toward him” (Carson, 574).
在耶穌的日子裡,這律法也適用於任何釘在十字架上的人;因此猶太人要求耶穌被釘十字架而不是被放逐,這是為了激起百姓對他最大的厭惡。」
~~
*聖經中有許多章節,提到「被掛在樹上乃是受上帝咒詛的」。
(See Acts 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; 1 Pt. 2:24; and esp. Gal. 3:13 where reference to death on a “tree” is prominent.)
Gal. 3:13 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “ Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”—
13基督既為我們受(原文作成)了咒詛,就贖出我們脫離律法的咒詛;因為經上記著:「凡掛在木頭上都是被咒詛的。
※Thus what Paul (or Saul, actually) was hearing proclaimed by Christians was that he who was to enjoy Gods richest blessing instead endured Gods most reprehensible curse.
當時的掃羅,聽到基督徒宣稱耶穌基督是最受上帝豐富祝福的人,而不是受到上帝最譴責、最咒詛的人。
*How could these Jews honor as God and Savior one whom God himself had openly and obviously cursed?
哪有可能,這些猶太人尊崇為神和救主的基督,卻是受上帝公然、公開咒詛的呢?
*Worse than a contradiction in terms, a crucified Messiah was an outrageous blasphemy! Yet, note how the early church highlighted this very fact!
比起這點矛盾更令人難以致信的是:被釘十字架的彌賽亞是一個令人髮指的褻瀆神明的人! 然而,請注意,早期教會卻強調這一個「福音」!

*See Acts 2:23; 4:9-12; 5:29-31.
Acts 2:23 this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.
23他既按著神的定旨先見被交與人,你們就藉著無法之人的手,把他釘在十字架上,殺了。
