馬太福音 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 7:10

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
] Which is somewhat like a fish, especially an eel. Fish and bread are mentioned, because these were common food; see ( Mark 6:41 ) ( Mark 8:6 Mark 8:7 ) ( John 21:13 ) and particularly in Galilee, a fish country, where Christ now was, and from whence he had called his disciples, who were fishermen. In ( Luke 11:12 ) it is added, "or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?" which is used, as the rest, to show the absurdity and inhumanity of such conduct; and that indeed nothing of this kind is to be found among men, unless it be among monsters in nature.

馬太福音 7:10 In-Context

8 因 為 凡 祈 求 的 , 就 得 著 ; 尋 找 的 , 就 尋 見 ; 叩 門 的 , 就 給 他 開 門 。
9 你 們 中 間 誰 有 兒 子 求 餅 , 反 給 他 石 頭 呢 ?
10 求 魚 , 反 給 他 蛇 呢 ?
11 你 們 雖 然 不 好 , 尚 且 知 道 拿 好 東 西 給 兒 女 , 何 況 你 們 在 天 上 的 父 , 豈 不 更 把 好 東 西 給 求 他 的 人 麼 ?
12 所 以 , 無 論 何 事 , 你 們 願 意 人 怎 樣 待 你 們 , 你 們 也 要 怎 樣 待 人 , 因 為 這 就 是 律 法 和 先 知 的 道 理 。
