1. Hello, listening friends.
亲爱的朋友,你好。

2. Thank you for tuning in,
感谢你的收听。

3. as we come to the third, and the last, in this series of messages, “The Three Marks of Discipleship;”
今天是“门徒的三个标志”这个系列的最后一次信息。

4. and we’re going to talk about living like Jesus.
我们要讲的是:“像耶稣那样生活”。

5. In Luke, Chapter 10, verses 30 to 37,
在路加福音10章30到37节,

6. Jesus tells a story.
耶稣讲了一个故事。

7. It is not only a story of a model life,
这个故事不光是描述了一个道德模范,

8. but, also, it is the story of Jesus’ own life.
它其实讲述了耶稣自己的生活。

9. It begins by a lawyer trying to quiz Jesus, saying what kind of life he could live that would earn him eternal life.
故事的起因来自一个律法师想要试探耶稣,于是问耶稣,要怎样做才可以承受永生。

10. Jesus waited until the lawyer answered his own question by quoting Scripture.
耶稣让他根据律法来回答自己提出的问题。

11. The lawyer said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and you shall love your neighbor as yourself...”
律法师回答说:“你要尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱主你的神;又要爱邻舍如同自己。”
12. and, so, Jesus said, "Go and practice that."
耶稣说:“你去如此行吧。”

13. At that point, the lawyer realizes that loving your neighbor as yourself is easier said than done;
就在这个时候,那位律法师才意识到,爱邻舍如同爱自己,说起来容易做起来难;

14. and, so, he asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
所以他问耶稣说:“谁是我的邻舍呢?”

15. which prompted Jesus to tell him a story that we call, “The Good Samaritan.”
耶稣就给他讲了一个关于“好撒玛利亚人的故事”。

21. A Levite, who was consumed by religious activities, also ignored the bleeding man and moved on.
