The Levite also saw the wounded man.
他们不是不知道发生了什么。
They were not unaware of what had happened.
他们的问题不是缺少信息,而是拒绝承担责任。
Their problem was not a lack of information, but a refusal to accept responsibility.
他们可能有很多听起来合理的理由。
They may have had many reasons that sounded reasonable.
他们可能担心礼仪上的不洁净。
They may have feared ceremonial uncleanness.
他们可能担心强盗仍然躲在附近。
They may have feared that the robbers were still nearby.
他们可能认为这不是自己的责任。
They may have believed that it was not their responsibility.
但是,耶稣没有称赞他们的谨慎。
But Jesus did not praise their caution.
耶稣称赞了那个实际采取行动的撒玛利亚人。
Jesus praised the Samaritan who took practical action.
撒玛利亚人不只是对伤者表示同情。
The Samaritan did not only feel sympathy for the wounded man.
他靠近伤者。
He went near the wounded man.
他处理伤口。
He treated the wounds.
他提供交通。
He provided transportation.
他支付费用。
He安排了后续照顾。

因此,圣经中的爱不是旁观者的爱。
Therefore, biblical love is not the love of a bystander.
圣经中的爱是一种愿意承担代价的爱。
Biblical love is a love that is willing to pay a cost.
三、沉默可能帮助欺压者
III. Silence Can Help the Oppressor
当一个强者欺压弱者时,旁观者的沉默往往不会保持中立。
When a powerful person oppresses a weak person, the silence of bystanders often does not remain neutral.
沉默常常会使欺压者更有力量。
Silence often gives more power to the oppressor.
如果一个人知道真相,却故意不作见证,他可能正在帮助谎言。
If a person knows the truth but refuses to testify, he may be helping a lie.
如果一个人有能力保护受害者,却为了自己的安全完全退缩,他需要在神面前省察自己的内心。
If a person has the ability to protect a victim but completely withdraws for personal safety, he needs to examine his heart before God.
《箴言》二十四章十一至十二节说:
Proverbs 24:11–12 says:
“人被拉到死地,你要解救;人将被杀,你须拦阻。”
“Rescue those who are being taken away to death. Hold back those who are about to be killed.”
“你若说:‘这事我未曾知道’,那衡量人心的岂不明白吗?”
“If you say, ‘We did not know about this,’ does not the One who weighs the heart understand?”
“保守你命的岂不知道吗?”
“Does not the One who guards your life know it?”
“他岂不按各人所行的报应各人吗?”
“Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?”
这段经文没有允许人用“我不想参与”来逃避责任。
This passage does not allow a person to escape responsibility by saying, “I do not want to be involved.”
当人的生命正在被毁灭时,神的百姓有责任采取行动。
When human life is being destroyed, God’s people have a responsibility to act.
当然,我们每个人的能力和位置不同。
Of course, each person has different abilities and different positions.
并不是每一个人都能解决所有社会问题。
Not everyone can solve every social problem.
并不是每一个人都必须参加所有公共行动。
Not everyone must join every public action.
