Luke investigated many of the earliest eyewitnesses

路加訪問了很多最早期的耶穌生平見證人

And the story begins up in the hills of Jerusalem.

The place where Israel's ancient prophets said

to establish His Kingdom over all the earth.

在這個城中，有被祭司們所管理的聖殿

In this city is the temple run by the priests

when he had a vision that freaks him out.

一個天使顯現，說他和他的妻子

An angel appears and says that he and his wife

They've never been able to have children.

就是亞伯拉罕和撒拉——以色列偉大的祖先

with Abraham and Sarah, the great ancestors of Israel

因為他們同樣也是老邁且一直沒有孩子

because they too were very old and could never have kids.

但神給了他們一個兒子——以撒

這就是整個以色列故事如何開始

which is how the whole story of Israel began.

that God's about to do something that significant

and then he says that this son's going to fulfill

古時以色列先知們的一個預言：

他是一個受羅馬帝國支配的傀儡王

得到自由，並在自己的土地上能夠自理

be free and govern themselves in their own land.

神就要來了，但祂會怎樣來到呢？

God's on His way. But how is he going to arrive?

為了找到答案，路加把我們帶離耶路撒冷

名叫米利暗，我們一般叫她馬利亞

在希伯來語就是"神拯救"的意思

就是在創世記第一章中，
從黑暗中帶來生命和光的聖靈

is going to generate life inside her womb.

所以馬利亞，一位在偏遠地區的無名女孩

就是這樣奇妙。她甚至唱了一首歌，

no name girl to the future mother of the King.

透過祂的兒子，神要把統治者從他們的寶座拉下來

how this reversal of her own social status

然後，當馬利亞真的懷孕時，她和她的未婚夫約瑟

Through her Son, God's going to bring down

rulers from their thrones and exalt the poor and the humble.

因為那時羅馬王國頒怖一個新的稅法

He's going to turn the whole world order upside down.

所有人必須回到他們家鄉報名上冊

So, when Mary was really pregnant, she and her fiancé, Jospeh,

There was a decree across the Roman Empire about new taxes.

而他們所能找到的唯一地方，是一個動物睡覺的地方

And so everybody had to go get registered in the town of their family line.

現在，在他們附近，有一些牧羊人在牧羊

一個天使向他們顯現，這當然把他們嚇壞了

但他們即將要慶祝，因為今晚在伯利恆，
救主將要誕生

And so the only place they can find, is a spot where animals sleep.

Now, nearby, were some shepherds with their flocks.

而他們將會知道他就是彌賽亞，
因為他將會被包裹，躺在一個骯髒的餵飼槽中

And an angel appears, which, of course, freaks them out.

然後這些自己也不是很乾淨的牧羊人，
他們動身去尋找到新生兒耶穌

But, they're to celebrate because tonight in Bethlehem, a Savior has been born.

耶穌就在這昏暗的地方，令他們感到十分驚訝

他們回家時思索：這個世界將要發生什麼事？

And they'll know that it's the Messiah because He's going to be wrapped up and laying in a grimy feeding trough.

這一切都太怪了。我的意思是，
如果神真的要來拯救世界，這不是你所預期的方式

Then these shepherds, who aren't very clean themselves, they go and find the newborn Jesus, in this really dingy place and their minds are blown.

救主出生在牲畜之間，母親是一個青少女，祝賀的是一群無名的牧羊人

They go home wondering, 'What on Earth is about to happen?'

沒錯，很怪吧！我的意思是，在路加的故事中，所有事情是倒過來的，而這就是重點所在。

And this is all really strange. I mean, if God's really coming to save the world, this isn't how you would expect Him to arrive.

路加要表達的是，神的國度首先揭示於這些骯髒的地方，在窮人的中間。

Born in an animal shelter to a teenage girl, celebrated by no-name shepherds.

因為耶穌所帶來的救恩，即將顛覆我們這個世界的秩序。

Exactly! I mean, everything is backwards in Luke's story and that's the point.

He is showing how God's Kingdom was first revealed in these dirty places, among the poor because

Jesus is here to bring salvation by turning our world order upside down.
