《約翰福音》第十四章，十六和十七节
JOHN 14:16,17

16 我要求父，父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师，叫他永远与你们同在，17 就是真理的圣灵，乃世人不能接受的；因为不见他，也不认识他。你们却认识他，因他常与你们同在，也要在你们里面。 CUVS

今天我们一起背诵默想的经文来自《新约》《约翰福音》14章16和17节。本章记录了耶稣与门徒的交谈，耶稣教导门徒他自己就是认识天父的道路，人看见了神的儿子耶稣就是看见了父。耶稣就着门徒的疑问，预备他们在耶稣离世之后依然可以与主同在。今天的两句经文是耶稣求父赐门徒圣灵的应许，两次提到“与你们同在”。前一节耶稣教导说“你们若爱我，就必遵守我的命令”。亲爱的弟兄姐妹，今天圣灵保惠师也住在我们里面，给我们安慰，为耶稣作见证，教导我们神的真理。求主借着圣灵加添我们的信心，给我们喜乐的心顺服神的真理，常在主爱中！

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. KJV

The scripture we are reciting together for meditation today is from the New Testament, John 14:16 and 17. This chapter records Jesus' conversation with his disciples, in which he teaches them that he himself is the way to know the Father, and that a man who has seen Jesus, the Son of God, has seen the Father. Jesus prepares the disciples to be with the Lord even after Jesus' departure, in response to their questions. Today's two verses are the promises of the Holy Spirit that Jesus asked the Father to give to his disciples, mentioning "to be with you" twice. In the first verse Jesus taught, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments". Dear brothers and sisters, today the Counselor of the Holy Spirit also lives in us, giving us comfort, testifying to Jesus, and teaching us the truth of God. Pray that the Lord would strengthen our faith through the Holy Spirit and give us joyful hearts to obey God's truth and abide in His love! (translation from DeepL.com/translator)
