Why was His soul troubled?
为什么祂的灵魂如此忧伤？
(Octavius Winslow, “CONSIDER JESUS” 1870)
(奥克塔维斯·温斯洛，《思想耶稣》1870年)
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Mark 14:34
“我心里甚是忧伤，几乎要死。”马可福音14:34
In this lay our Lord’s greatest suffering: His soul sorrow. Compared with this . . .
the lingering, excruciating tortures of the cross,
the extended limbs,
the quivering nerves,
the bleeding wounds,
the burning thirst;
were, as nothing.
这是我们主最大的苦难：祂灵魂的忧伤。与此相比…
十字架上持续的、剧烈的痛苦，
被拉开的四肢，
颤抖的神经，
流血的伤口，
灼热的干渴；
都算不得什么。
So long as our blessed Lord endured the gibes and insults and calumnies of mere men, not a complaint escaped His lips.
只要是承受普通人的嘲笑、侮辱和诽谤，我们蒙福的主都未发一言抱怨。
But, when the wrath of God, endured as the Substitute of His people, entered within His holy soul, then the wail of agony rose strong and piercing, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
但是，当祂作为祂子民的替代者承受神的愤怒，进入祂圣洁的灵魂时，痛苦的哀号就强烈而尖锐地升起：”我的神，我的神，为什么离弃我？”
Why was His soul troubled?
为什么祂的灵魂如此忧伤？
He was now bearing sin and, consequently, the punishment of sin; the wrath of God overwhelming His soul. Divine justice, finding the sins of God’s elect meeting on His holy soul, exacted full payment and inflicted the utmost penalty!
祂此时正在承担罪，因此也承担着罪的惩罚；神的愤怒淹没了祂的灵魂。神的公义发现神选民的罪都集中在祂圣洁的灵魂上，就要求完全的偿还并施以最严厉的惩罚！
