The events recorded in Matt 12 mark a major turning point in Jesus’ ministry, focusing on the rejection of the Messiah by His own people. Verses 1–21 depict the mounting unbelief of Israel crystalizing into conscious rejection, and verses 22–50 depict the blasphemy that follows the rejection.
第12章所记载的事件是耶稣的事工上一个重要的转捩点，其焦点是弥赛亚被祂自己的子民拒绝了。第1至21节所描绘的是以色列逐渐增加的不信演变成蓄意的拒绝，而第22至50节描绘的是继拒绝后随之而来的亵渎。
- The Act of Blasphemy 亵渎的行为 (12:22-24)
Jesus healed a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute in front of a multitude. It was undeniable, and people recognized it as a possible messianic sign. The Pharisees were in forceful stubborn denial, attributing it to the power of Satan.
耶稣在众人面前医治了一个被鬼附着、又瞎又哑的人。这是无可否认的神迹，而众人也认识那是弥赛亚其中的一个标志。法利赛人却坚决否定，并将这一切归于撒旦的能力。
- The Judgment of Blasphemy 亵渎的审判 (12:25-32)
Jesus counters their arguments with 3 points. First, Satan cannot stand if he fights his own. Secondly, Pharisees cannot claim that this act is ungodly if their disciples had participated in it. Third, if this miracle was of God, He had to be the Messiah or they will be judged for their unbelief. An unbeliever who blasphemes God can be forgiven by turning to Him, but an absolute, permanent rejection of Jesus will not be forgiven, bringing about eternal condemnation.
耶稣以三点反驳了他们。首先，若撒旦自相纷争，牠必站立不住。其次，法利赛人不能说这是一个不敬虔的行为，因为他们的子弟也在赶鬼。最后，如果这确实是个神迹，那祂一定就是弥赛亚，而他们将因不信而受到审判。只要一个亵渎神的非信徒人归向耶稣，他就能得赦免；但若一人执意、断定拒绝耶稣，他的罪不会被赦，且将遭到永恒的谴责。
- The Heart of Blasphemy 亵渎的心 (12:33-37)
The words reflect one’s heart condition. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Jesus said that on judgment day every word will be accounted for.
一个人的话反映了他心里的属灵状态，因心里所充满的，口里就说出来。耶稣说，在审判日那天，人也要凭所说的话被定罪。
- Blasphemy is knowingly, intentionally and openly speaking evil against God. It is defiant irreverence. Do you harden your hearts against God? This is a serious sin. Please examine yourselves and pray to God.
亵渎是有意识、刻意并公然地毁谤神。这是大胆不敬的挑衅。你是否向神硬着心呢？这是一个严重的罪。请审查自己并向神祷告。
- The work of the Holy Spirit is to help us understand God (1 Cor. 2:14). Without the Holy Spirit we might speak against Jesus. Although it is a serious sin it can be forgiven by the gracious God. But if we consistently speak against the Holy Spirit who points us to Christ, we will not be forgiven or saved. Pray that your heart will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit when He points us to Christ. When that happens we must response in accepting and obeying Christ.
圣灵的工作是帮助我们了解神（林前2:14）。如果没有圣灵，我们或许会亵渎耶稣。虽然这是一个严重的罪，但神有恩典，可以宽恕这罪。然而，如果我们坚持抵挡那把我们指向耶稣的圣灵，我们将不会被宽恕或得救。请祷告，每当圣灵将我们指向基督时，我们能敏感觉悟。这时候，我们必须接受并顺服基督。
- The work of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus (John 16:14). When our hearts are filled with adoration and admiration of Jesus Christ, it must be the Holy Spirit who is at work in our hearts. Let us respond with thanksgiving.
圣灵的工作是要荣耀耶稣（约16:14）。当我们的心充满了对耶稣的崇拜和敬仰时，这必是圣灵在我们的心中动工。让我们为此感恩。
