The Gospel according to Mark 1-3

1.   In 1:25, 1:34, & 3:12, Jesus healed people by driving out evil/unclean spirits.  The spirits called Jesus son of God, revealing Jesus' identity.  However, Jesus demanded the spirits to be silent.  Why?  Didn't Jesus hope people to realize that he was the Messiah instead of just a ghost-busting prophet? 

2.   In 2:13 -14 (also in Luke 5:27)  Jesus called Levi, the tax collector, to follow him.   Only In Mattew 9:9, there is another similar event in which the name of the person called by Jesus is Matthew, the name that also appears in the list of the twelve disciples.  In comparison, can we assume that Levi is Matthew or vice versa?  Please give reasons to explain your stance.

馬可福音 1 -- 3 章    問題討論

1.  在  1:25, 1:34, 和 3:12﹐耶穌醫治被邪靈附身的人。邪靈表明耶穌的身份是神的兒子。但是耶穌卻命令邪靈不可以到處聲張。為什麼耶穌要這樣做。讓更多人了解耶穌不只是個能夠打擊魔鬼的先知而已﹐其實是真正的彌賽亞﹐不是更好嗎﹖

2.  在2:13 - 14 (還有路加 5:27) 耶穌呼召稅吏利未來跟隨他。在馬太福音9:9也記載類似的事件。被呼召的稅吏名字卻叫做馬太。在12個門徒的名單裡也有一個人叫馬太。由這樣的比對﹐可不可以斷言利未就是馬太﹐馬太就是利未﹖請舉出理由解釋你同意或不同意這樣串接的說法。
