如今我們所讀到的，可以稱之為「聖保祿的受難」。

的確，路加福音以與耶穌受難相似的方式講述了保祿被囚禁的故事。

正如耶穌站在公會面前，如今保祿也站在公會面前。我們也看到，保祿像耶穌一樣，見證了耶穌的大能。

這種講述保祿故事的方式暗示我們，我們每個人的生命都是耶穌生命的一部分。既然祂已經顯現給保祿，如今祂就不需要再顯現給我們，鼓勵我們。我們知道，我們的生命與祂生命是一體的。

We read in these days what can be called: “The Passion of Saint Paul.”

Indeed, Luke tells the story of the imprisonment of Paul in a way that resembles the Passion of Jesus.

As Jesus stood in front of the Sanhedrin, so now does Paul. We also see that Paul gives witness to Jesus’ power as Jesus did.

Such way of telling Paul’s story suggests us that all our stories are part of the life of Jesus. Since He appeared to Paul, now He does not need to appear to us and encourage us. We know that our lives are one.
