Notes: 注解：
Judges 20:18 to inquire of God. The Lord gave His counsel from the location of the ark at Shiloh, probably through the Urim and Thummim (vv. 27, 28). The tribe of Judah was responsible to lead in battle since God had chosen a leadership role for that tribe (Gen. 49:8–12; 1 Chr. 5:1, 2).
士师记 20:18 求问神。 耶和华从示罗约柜所在地赐下祂的指示，可能是通过乌陵和土明（第27、28节）。犹大支派负责带领作战，因为神已拣选该支派担任领导角色（创49:8-12；代上5:1, 2）。
Judges 20:22–25 The Lord twice allowed great defeat and death to Israel to bring them to their spiritual senses regarding the cost of tolerating apostasy. Also, while they sought counsel, they placed too much reliance on their own prowess and on satisfying their own outrage. Finally, when desperate enough, they fasted and offered sacrifices (v. 26). The Lord then gave victory with strategy similar to that at Ai (Josh. 8).
士师记 20:22–25 耶和华两次允许以色列人遭受重大失败和伤亡，目的是让他们在灵性上醒悟容忍背道的代价。此外，虽然他们寻求指引，但过分依赖自己的能力和满足自己的愤怒。最终，当他们走投无路时，他们禁食并献祭（第26节）。耶和华随后赐予他们胜利，策略类似于艾城之战（书8章）。
Judges 21:25 Judges 17–21 vividly demonstrates how bizarre and deep sin can become when people throw off the authority of God as mediated through the king (see 17:6). This was the appropriate but tragic conclusion to a bleak period of Israelite history (see Deut. 12:8).
士师记 21:25 士师记17-21章生动地展示了当人们抛弃神借着王所施行的权柄时（参见17:6），罪恶会变得多么离奇和深重。这是以色列历史黑暗时期的恰当但悲惨的结局（参见申12:8）。
Luke 19:17 faithful in a very little. Those with relatively small gifts and opportunities are just as responsible to use them faithfully as those who are given much more. over ten cities. The reward is incomparably greater than the 10 minas warranted. Note also that the rewards were apportioned according to the servants' diligence: the one who gained 10 minas was given 10 cities, the one who gained 5 minas, 5 cities (v. 19), and so on.
路加福音 19:17 你既在最小的事上有忠心。 那些拥有相对较小恩赐和机会的人，与那些得到更多的人一样有责任忠心使用它们。可以管十座城。 这奖赏远远大于10弥拿所应得的。还要注意奖赏是按照仆人的勤奋程度分配的：赚了10弥拿的得到10座城，赚了5弥拿的得到5座城（第19节），依此类推。
DAY 27: How did Zacchaeus personify why Jesus came to this world?
第27天：撒该如何体现了耶稣来到世界的目的？
Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector, who probably oversaw a large tax district and had other tax collectors working for him (Luke 19:2). Jericho alone was a prosperous trading center, so it is certain that Zacchaeus was a wealthy man. Zacchaeus was among "the crowd" in Jericho who lined the street to see Jesus pass through. They had undoubtedly heard about the recent raising of Lazarus in Bethany, less than 15 miles away (John 11). That, combined with His fame as a healer and teacher, stirred the entire city when word arrived that He was coming. Zacchaeus was so desperate to see Christ that he took an undignified position for someone of his rank (v. 4).
撒该是个税吏长，可能监管着一个大型税区，手下有其他税吏为他工作（路加福音19:2）。单是耶利哥就是一个繁荣的贸易中心，因此可以肯定撒该是个富有的人。撒该在耶利哥的"众人"中，排在街道上想看耶稣经过。他们无疑听说过在不到15英里外的伯大尼最近发生的拉撒路复活事件（约翰福音11章）。这加上耶稣作为医治者和教师的名声，使得祂来临的消息传开时整个城市都轰动起来。撒该如此渴望见到基督，以至于他采取了对于他这样身份的人来说有失体面的举动（第4节）。
Both the religious elite and the common people hated Zacchaeus. They did not understand, and in their blind pride refused to see, what possible righteous purpose Jesus had in visiting such a notorious sinner (v. 7). But He had come to seek and to save the lost, which is exactly what happened here (v. 10).
宗教精英和普通百姓都恨撒该。他们不理解，并且在盲目的骄傲中拒绝看到，耶稣拜访这样一个臭名昭著的罪人可能有什么正义的目的（第7节）。但祂来是要寻找拯救失丧的人，这正是在此所发生的事（第10节）。
Not only did Zacchaeus receive Jesus joyfully (v. 6), but his willingness to make restitution was proof that his conversion was genuine (v. 8). It was the fruit, not the condition, of his salvation. The law required a penalty of one-fifth as restitution for money acquired by fraud (Lev. 6:5; Num. 5:6, 7), so Zacchaeus was doing more than was required. Zacchaeus judged his own crime severely, acknowledging that he was as guilty as the lowest common robber. Since much of his wealth had probably been acquired fraudulently, this was a costly commitment. On top of that, he gave half his goods to the poor. But Zacchaeus had just found incomprehensible spiritual riches and did not mind the loss of material wealth.
撒该不仅欢欢喜喜地接待了耶稣（第6节），而且他愿意赔偿的态度证明了他的悔改是真诚的（第8节）。这是他得救的果子，而非条件。律法规定对欺诈所得的钱财要加上五分之一作为赔偿（利6:5；民5:6, 7），所以撒该所做的超过了要求。撒该严厉地审判自己的罪行，承认自己与最低等的强盗同样有罪。由于他的财富可能大部分是通过欺诈获得的，这是一个代价高昂的承诺。此外，他还将一半的财物分给穷人。但撒该刚刚发现了难以理解的属灵财富，不在乎物质财富的损失。
