ZECH. 6:13.—Even he shall build the temple of the Lord, and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, and he shall be a Priest upon his throne.
撒迦利亚书 6章13节——祂要建造耶和华的殿，并担当尊荣，坐在位上掌王权；又要在位上作祭司。
HAVING shewn that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Redeemer of elect sinners, and that it was necessary he should be God and man in one person, to qualify him for his Mediatory undertaking, I come now to speak of the offices which Christ executes as our Redeemer, from the text now read.
在阐明了主耶稣基督是蒙拣选的罪人唯一的救赎主（Redeemer），并且祂有必要是神人二性（God and man in one person）才能胜任祂中保（Mediatory）的使命之后，我现在要从所读的经文来论述基督作为我们的救赎主所执行的职分。
In the 11th verse of this chapter, there is a typical action crowning Joshua the high priest with two crowns, which is applied and explained in the following verses as representing Christ in his offices, who has on his head many crowns.
在本章的第11节，有一个象征性的行动，用两顶冠冕为大祭司约书亚（Joshua the high priest）加冕，这在接下来的经文中得到了应用和解释，代表了基督的职分，祂头上戴着许多冠冕。
In the 12th verse, there is a prophecy of the incarnation of Christ, under the metaphor of a branch, as sprung from the family of David, and making but a mean appearance in the world, ‘as a root out of a dry ground.’
在第12节，有一个关于基督道成肉身（incarnation）的预言，用枝子（branch）的比喻，指祂出自大卫的家族，并在世上只是一个卑微的形象，“好像根出于干地”。
In the verse where our text lies, we have the offices which he was to execute as our Redeemer; which are three.
在我们经文所在的这一节，我们有祂作为我们的救赎主要执行的职分；这些职分有三个。
- The office of a Prophet; He shall build the temple of the Lord; that is, his own church, whereof the temple was a type, by the word of the gospel, which it is his work to promulgate as a Prophet.
- 先知（Prophet）的职分；祂要建造耶和华的殿；那就是祂自己的教会，圣殿是教会的预表，是借着福音的圣言，而作为一位先知，传扬福音是祂的工作。
For the church is ‘built upon the foundation of the prophets and apostles, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,’ and the revealer of those truths which the prophets and apostles taught.
因为教会是“建立在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶稣自己为房角石”，祂是启示先知和使徒所教导的真理的启示者。 - The office of a Priest; namely to expiate the sins of his people to purchase peace for them, and to manage their cause with God.
- 祭司（Priest）的职分；即为祂的子民赎罪（expiate the sins），为他们买赎和平，并向上帝处理他们的案件（manage their cause）。
- That of a King; for he has a throne, which denotes his kingly office.
- 君王（King）的职分；因为祂有一个宝座（throne），这表示祂的王权（kingly office）。
He is a Priest upon his throne, denoting the reward of his sufferings, and the high dignity he is advanced to in consequence of his humiliation and satisfactory sufferings.
祂在祂的宝座上作祭司，表示祂受苦的赏赐，以及祂因着祂的降卑和赎罪性的受苦而被提升到的高贵尊荣。
And he is represented as sitting on his throne, not a King in name only, or an inactive monarch, but exercising acts of jurisdiction and government.
祂被描绘为坐在祂的宝座上，不是一个徒有虚名的君王，或一个不活跃的君主，而是行使管辖权和治理的行动。
In him all the glory of these offices is to meet: and these offices he shall hold and exercise in spite of all opposition: He shall sit and rule upon his throne.
所有这些职分的荣耀都集中在祂身上：祂将持有和行使这些职分，尽管有所有的反对：祂必坐在宝座上掌王权。
