Numbers 33:56 I will do to you as I thought to do to them. If Israel failed to obey God, she would be the object of God's punishment in exactly the same way as the Canaanites were.
民数记 33:56 我怎样待他们，也必照样待你们。 如果以色列人不顺从神，他们将成为神惩罚的对象，方式与对待迦南人完全相同。

Psalm 35:10 LORD, who is like You…? This had become a canonized expression of awe at the uniqueness of Israel's great God (see Ex. 15:11; Mic. 7:18).
诗篇 35:10 耶和华啊，谁能像你...？ 这已成为表达对以色列伟大神之独特性的敬畏的规范表达（参见出15:11；弥7:18）。

Mark 15:7 Barabbas. A robber (John 18:40) and murderer (Luke 23:18,19) in some way involved as an anti-Roman insurrectionist. Whether his involvement was motivated by political conviction or personal greed is not known. It is impossible to identify the specific insurrection in question, but such uprisings were common in Jesus' day and were precursors of the wholesale revolt of A.D. 66–70.
马可福音 15:7 巴拉巴。 一个强盗（约18:40）和凶手（路23:18,19），以某种方式参与了反罗马的叛乱。他参与的动机是出于政治信念还是个人贪婪，现在已不得而知。无法确定所指的具体叛乱是哪一次，但这类起义在耶稣时代很常见，是公元66-70年全面反叛的前兆。

Mark 15:17 clothed Him with purple;…crown of thorns. "Purple" was the color traditionally worn by royalty. The "crown of thorns" was in mockery of a royal crown. The callous soldiers decided to hold a mock coronation of Jesus as king of the Jews.
马可福音 15:17 给祂穿上紫袍...用荆棘编作冠冕。 "紫色"传统上是王室穿着的颜色。"荆棘冠冕"是对王冠的嘲弄。那些冷酷的士兵决定举行一个嘲弄性的加冕仪式，立耶稣为犹太人的王。

Mark 15:21 Condemned prisoners were required to carry the heavy crossbeam of their cross to the execution site. Exhausted from a sleepless night and severely wounded and weakened by His scourging, Jesus was unable to continue. The Roman guards conscripted Simon, apparently at random, to carry Jesus' crossbeam the rest of the way. Simon, from the North African city of Cyrene, was on his way into Jerusalem. The identification of him as "the father of Alexander and Rufus" (Rom. 16:13) is evidence of Mark's connection with the church at Rome.
马可福音 15:21 被定罪的囚犯必须背负沉重的十字架横梁到处决地点。耶稣因彻夜未眠，又因鞭打严重受伤并且虚弱，无法继续前行。罗马卫兵随机征召了西门，让他替耶稣背负十字架横梁走完余下的路。西门来自北非的古利奈城，当时正要进入耶路撒冷。他被标识为"亚历山大和鲁孚的父亲"（罗16:13），这是马可与罗马教会有联系的证据。

DAY 18: What are some general, time-tested principles that will help rightly interpret Proverbs?
第十八天：有哪些经过时间检验的一般原则可以帮助正确解释箴言？

One of the most common characteristics of Proverbs is the use of parallelism—placing truths side by side so that the second statement expands, completes, defines, and emphasizes the first. Sometimes a logical conclusion is reached; at other times, a logical contrast is demonstrated.
箴言最常见的特点之一是使用平行体——将真理并列放置，使第二个陈述扩展、完成、定义并强调第一个陈述。有时会得出逻辑结论；而其他时候，则展示逻辑对比。

The following tools will assist a student in gaining greater confidence as he or she interprets these Proverbs: 1) determine what facts, principles, or circumstances make up the parallel ideas in that proverb—what two central concepts or persons are being compared or contrasted; 2) identify the figures of speech and rephrase the thought without those figures—for example, restate the idea behind "put a knife to your throat"(23:1–3); 3) summarize the lesson or principle of the proverb in a few words; 4) describe the behavior that is being taught or encouraged; and 5) think of examples from elsewhere in Scripture that illustrate the truth of that proverb.
以下工具将帮助学习者在解释这些箴言时获得更大的信心：1）确定哪些事实、原则或情况构成了该箴言中的平行观念——比较或对比的两个中心概念或人物是什么；2）识别修辞手法，不用这些修辞重新表述思想——例如，重述"刀放在喉咙上"背后的意思（23:1-3）；3）用几个词概括箴言的教训或原则；4）描述正在教导或鼓励的行为；5）思考圣经其他地方的例子，说明该箴言的真理。
