.videoWrapper {position: relative;padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */padding-top: 25px;height: 0;}.videoWrapper iframe {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;} ❖保祿在寫《厄弗所書》時，提到自己正被監禁：「我保祿為你們外邦人的緣故，作基督耶穌囚犯的，為你們祈禱。⋯⋯為這福音我竟作了帶鎖鏈的使者──使我能放心大膽，照我應該宣講的去宣講」（3:1; 6:20）。《厄弗所書》與《哥羅森書》、《費肋孟書》及《斐理伯書》，都提到受監禁一事，且表示有獲得釋放的希望，這四封信同被稱為「獄函」。學者大都認為這四封書信寫於同一時期，即在羅馬首次被監禁的末期，約在公元63年（宗28:16,30,31）。至於本書信的收信人，大概就是厄弗所或以它為中心的亞細亞信友團體。 ❖厄弗所（Ephesus）位於亞細亞的愛琴海岸，是愛奧尼亞十二城邦聯盟（Ionian amphictyony）之一。亞歷山大死後（公元前323年），厄弗所便成了培爾加摩王國（Pergamum）的領土。133年阿塔路三世（Attalus III 138-133）死前拱手把它送給羅馬，厄弗所遂成了亞細亞的省府。這城名人輩出，包括希臘形上學鼻祖赫拉克里特（Heraclitus）、詩人希波納赫斯（Hipponax）、演說家及政治家亞歷山大力克洛（Alexander the Lychnus）。公元二世紀，更建有塞爾蘇圖書館（Library of Celsus）。亞細亞當時的大路，都以厄弗所作起始點（caput viae），可謂條條大路通厄弗所。在新約時代，厄弗所是羅馬帝國亞細亞省的省會，因而成為各民族文物會萃的地方。猶太人在此城亦建有會堂，至今雖仍未發現它們所在的遺跡，但可知他們人數不少（宗18:19）。 這裏的阿爾特米女神殿（Artemision），是古代「七大奇觀」之一。阿爾特米（Artemis）等同亞細亞人的大神母西布利（Cybele），又是羅馬人的狄安娜（Diana）。這座神殿曾遭多次毀壞及重建，於保祿時代應是壯麗無比。神殿長約115米，闊55米，有127根巨柱。相傳放在廟內的女神像是用隕石製成，被稱為「那從天降下的神像」（宗19:35）。厄弗所的阿爾特米神像胸前滿布乳房，身上的長衣飾以各種動物，稱為多乳的阿爾特米（Artemis Polymaste）。厄弗所是亞細亞崇拜阿爾特米女神的中心，他們在阿爾特米月（Artemisia，三至四月間）舉行神像遊行、戲劇和競技大會。阿爾特米像先由神殿摃至大劇院，沿途有隆重巡遊，民眾夾道歡迎，載歌載舞。厄弗所大劇院，可容納25,000人，阿爾特米月為敬禮這女神而舉行的盛會，便是以這劇院為中心。這一切為製造阿爾特米小神像、神龕、還願獻禮，以至靈符的匠人，實在是一大商機。 這裏還有羅馬凱撒敬禮，在帝國中只有少數在帝國中心以外的城市，能設立敬禮凱撒的神廟。厄弗所竟獲此榮銜，得稱為帝國神廟的「廟祝」（neokoros）。這對當地的猶太人和基督徒而言，確是一大誘惑和挑戰。奧古斯都執政初期，厄弗所已在阿爾特米女神殿的庭院內，設了一座凱撒大祭壇，但這僅屬個別城市敬禮級別。厄弗所人幾經爭取，竟能三次成為帝國的廟祝（喀勞狄Claudius或尼祿Nero；哈德良Hadrian；色外洛Severus）。可是厄弗所人對阿爾特米的熱誠，令他們曾失去「帝國廟祝」的殊榮，因為公元26年羅馬議會認為厄弗所人太沉着於阿爾特米的敬禮，無暇兼顧羅馬女神和凱撒的敬禮。 ❖保祿在54年到了厄弗所傳教（宗19:1），其實他兩年前結束第二次傳教旅程時，已路過厄弗所作片刻逗留，並決意重臨（宗18:20-21）。保祿知道這裏比雅典或格林多是更理想的傳教中心：前者是個文化古都，後者是個商業重鎮，但厄弗所二者兼是，而且更是個宗教中心，對他來說，確是個大挑戰，又是個大好契機。保祿先在那裏的猶太會堂宣講，過了三個月，他見猶太人並無意接納基督的信仰，遂離開會堂，轉到提郎諾（Tyrannus）的講堂（scholē）繼續傳教。這活動持續了兩至三年（大概是54-57年；見宗19:10; 20:31），為厄弗所教會建立了穩固的根基（宗19章），並親自或派遣門徒在全亞細亞省傳佈了福音（格前16:8,9），以致亞細亞所有的居民「都聽見了主的道理」（宗19:10）。 ❖天主藉保祿行了一些奇蹟（宗19:12），致令許多從前曾篤信巫術的人皈依天主，並燒燬了大批巫術書籍。在這裏基督信仰首次與民間的鬼神信仰正面交鋒。厄弗所也充斥着「天使」敬禮和迷信，人們相信星宿與天使能影響他們的命運 （參看弗6:12；羅8:38；格前15:24；弗1:21; 3:10; 6:12；哥1:16; 2:10,15）。保祿曾對人說：「人手製造的，並不是神，」令製造阿爾特米小神龕的銀匠不滿，因為他們「是靠這手藝發財的。」銀匠工會領袖德默特琉（Demetrius）煽動群眾，喊着說：「大哉！厄弗所人的阿爾特米！」一起衝到劇院（宗19:28-29）。保祿險些被他們抓住，保祿原想親自到劇院去自辯，可是門徒們不讓他去，還有幾位亞細亞的首長（Asiarchoi），勸他不要冒險到劇院去（宗19:30-31）。 銀匠騷動過後，保祿在結束第三次傳教時，先巡視了希臘和馬其頓各教會（宗20:1-2），回程中更派人請厄弗所的長老到米肋托（Miletus）會晤，離別前對他們說：「我知道在我離開之後，將有兇暴的豺狼進到你們中間，不顧惜羊群，就是在你們中間，也要有人起來講說謬論，勾引門徒跟隨他們。因此，你們要警醒⋯⋯在各方面我都給你們立了榜樣，就是必須這樣勞動，扶助病弱者；要記住主耶穌的話，他說過：『施予比領受更為有福。』」保祿說完這些話，便和眾人一起跪下祈禱，「眾人都大哭起來，並伏在保祿的頸項上，口親他。他們最傷心的，是為了保祿說的這句話：以後他們不得再見他的面了。他們便送他上了船」（宗20:29-38）。後來果真如此，不但在厄弗所，即在亞細亞各教會，都闖進了一些兇暴的豺狼。 ❖為此，保祿在羅馬受監禁時致書他們，駁斥當時在亞細亞所流行的異端邪說，因為有些人否認耶穌為天主，僅將他列於天使的等級中；另有些人堅持舊約禁食和慶節的法律，還有些人倡言造化二元論。這封信可謂一封「公函」，信中並沒有提到私人的消息和個人的心境，以及對私人的問安等語。本書的主要論題，雖與《哥羅森書》頗相類似，但在理論方面較為抽象與深湛，且頗具系統化；所以本書在各書信中，確是深奧難明的一封，其中心思想，即是基督的教會宛如基督的妙身：為肢體的眾信友與為首的基督合而為一，以及肢體間彼此的連繫，即是這一妙身生命的基礎（1:22, 23; 2:20-22; 4:9-16; 5:23-33）。 ❖本書除題名（1:1,2）與結論外（6:21-24），可分為兩部份：一為教義部份，一為倫理部份。在第一部份內（1:3-3:21），首先討論基督救贖的奧蹟，然後討論基督妙身的道理；在第二部份內（4:1-6:20），勸告信友在各人地位上要保存心神的合一，並勉力修德成聖；最後勸勉信友要時常配備着信、望、愛三德的武器，以攻打靈魂的仇敵。 本書信的開端語： ❖「因天主的旨意，做耶穌基督宗徒的保祿」（1a）──保祿開首自稱為「耶穌基督的宗徒」，而且更指明是「因天主的旨意」而為的，這與他在格前、格後、哥、弟後所寫的相同，聲明他並非自詡為宗徒，而是「因天主的旨意」，是天主所選和安排的，正如天主對阿納尼雅論保祿所說的：「這人是我所揀選的器皿」（宗9:15）。 ❖「致書給那些在厄弗所的聖徒和信仰基督耶穌的人」（1b）──「在厄弗所的」一語，不見於重要的早期抄卷（P46、Sinaiticus 及Vaticanus；教父奧利振Origen及巴西略Basil也提及這點），很可能在抄寫其間，那些厄弗所的抄經員，給撒爾德（Sardis）、培爾加摩（Pergamum）或提雅提辣（Thyatira）等亞細亞教會抄寫時，覺得「在厄弗所的」一語對其他教會有點尷尬，遂把它刪去；這樣我們也可以明白為什麼有些古抄卷沒有此語，但此語大概應屬原文。自古以來的教父們（如依勒內Irenaeus、慕辣托黎殘卷Muratorian Fragment、亞歷山大里亞的格肋孟Clement of Alexandria、奧利振Origen、戴都良Terrtullian等）都公認此信是寫給厄弗所的。 本書的傳遞人是提希苛（Tychicus；6:21），我們可推想他到了厄弗所，就將本書呈交該處教會的長老們，保祿曾吩咐他，「給你們報告一切，好使你們知道我的事和我現在作什麼。我特意打發他到你們那裏去，為叫你們知道我們的情形，並叫他安慰你們的心」（6:21-22）。他們自然很高興地拆開閱讀了。這信既是給亞細亞各教會的「公函」，相信厄弗所的長老們事必設法多抄寫幾分，給每個教會送一分。保祿之所以請厄弗所教會轉送信件，是因為他以厄弗所教會為亞細亞各教會之首。提希苛很可能還帶著保祿的其他兩封信，一是給哥羅森教會的，一是給勞狄刻雅教會的（後者不知何故遺失了）。自然這些信將來也要在厄弗所誦讀，因為保祿當時要各地教會傳誦自己所寫的信：「幾時你們宣讀了這封信，務要使這封信也在勞狄刻雅人的教會內宣讀；至於那由勞狄刻雅轉來的信，你們也要宣讀」（哥4:16）。 ❖「願恩寵與平安，由我們的父天主和主耶穌基督，賜與你們！」（2）── 本書的致候辭，與保祿其他書信的致候辭，大抵相同（羅1:7；格前1:3；格後1:2；迦1:3；斐1:2；得後1:2；鐸1:4；費3［哥1:2；得前1:1；弟前1:2；弟後1:2略有不同〕）。這信首致候辭與信末的問候語，也引用了「我們的父天主和主耶穌基督」的「恩寵」與「平安」，正好構成一個前後呼應，他在信末說：「願平安、愛德和信德由天主父和主耶穌基督賜與眾弟兄！願恩寵與那些以永恆不變的愛愛我們的主耶穌基督的人同在！」（6:23-24）。 「恩寵與平安」（ca,rij kai. eivrh,nh - charis kai eirēnē）在新約出現的13次中，有11 次是保祿書信的致候辭，另兩次出現在伯後1:2；默1:4。所謂「恩寵」（charis: grace）並非單指一份恩典或禮物，而是舊約中常說的「慈愛」（ds,x,- ḥesed），這是天主基於盟約對選民不變的「慈愛」。當然，天主對教會的「慈愛/恩寵」，也表現在他賜與他們的各種奇恩異寵上（「神恩」ca,risma - charisma；參看格前12及14章）。而舊約中的「平安」（~wOlv' - shalom）除指消弭戰爭外，更是一種「圓滿和豐盈的生命」，不是世上以軍備平衡來維繫的「和平」（Pax Romana！），或一種苟且偷生的存活，免受侵犯和騷擾。為此，保祿說這平安是「由我們的天主父和主耶穌基督，賜給你們。」這正是耶穌所說的「我把平安留給你們，我將我的平安賜給你們；我所賜給你們的，不像世界所賜的一樣」（若14:27）。 ____________________________＿ ❖乙年的主日彌撒讀經，由常年期第十五主日開始，直至第二十一主日，我們連續7個主日會選讀聖保祿的四大書信之一的《厄弗所書》（另有7篇，分別在聖誕、四旬、復活期，及耶穌聖心和聖母無玷始胎節誦讀）。 厄弗所的街道和店舖遺跡 塞爾蘇圖書館遺跡 二世紀時的厄弗所城 厄弗所大劇院 阿爾特米女神像 阿爾特米女神殿模型

瑪竇福音的第五章與第六章是否前後矛盾? 瑪(5:15-16)說: 「人點燈，並不是放在斗底下，而是放在燈台上，照耀屋中所有的人。照樣，你們的光也當在人前照耀，好使他們看見你們的善行，光榮你們在天之父。」但瑪 (6:1)又說: 「你們應當心，不要在人前行你們的仁義，為叫他們看見；若是這樣，你們在天父之前，就沒有賞報了。」一章節叫人要看我們的善行, 另一章節就叫我們要隱藏善行, 讓天主暗中賞報。我們應該怎樣做?

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 196 Drew Kunin - Production Sound Mixer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production sound mixer Drew Kunin (DISCLOSURE DAY; HER; CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON). Throughout the episode, Drew helps us understand how a production sound mixer might do his or her job in a number of different circumstances, drawing on experiences ranging from building a recording booth on wheels for HER to mixing CROUCHING TIGER phonetically using a pinyin script. Drew also describes the type of equipment he might use in certain situations, and he reflects on the changes in technology and in technique he's witnessed since he started his career. He later shares his approach to mixing tracks on set, and we discuss how his mixes can influence what happens in post. Drew also recounts his experience of being one of two Americans on the crew of CROUCHING TIGER in China, and he gives us a quick demonstration on the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese. We worked with Drew on THE GOLDFINCH and THE SECRET GARDEN, and we had a great time catching up with him. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. "LIVE" again at the 2026 DLAT meeting, two very different conversations came together around one common theme: the future of dental technology is still being shaped by passionate people willing to learn, teach, and adapt. First, the podcast catches up with returning guest Tiffany Prater from Destination Orthodontic Lab, who shares how her lab journey has evolved from running a large commercial space with employees to building a smaller, more personal business focused on private practices and hands-on craftsmanship. Alongside her is Sydney Ribera, a young technician discovering orthodontics through mentorship, creativity, and a fascination with bending wire and pouring colorful acrylic retainers. The conversation dives into the realities of learning ortho in today's digital world, the importance of organizations like the Orthodontic Resource Group, and why mentorship still matters more than ever in a profession where most of the training happens shoulder-to-shoulder. Then the crew sits down with Marlin Gohn from Argen to talk about everything from next-generation zirconia to massive dental labs in China and the surprisingly common mistakes labs make when choosing disc sizes for milling. Marlin breaks down Argen's new gradient translucency zirconia, explains why nesting strategy matters more than most labs realize, and shares real-world troubleshooting tips that can save labs time, money, and remakes. The conversation also wanders through SLM frameworks, milled gold crowns, PFMs, translating lectures in China, and why some old-school techniques still outperform the newest trends. Special Guests: Marlin Gohn CDT, Sydney Ribera, and Tiffany Prater CDT.

Maddie Ballard (she/her) is a writer of mixed Chinese heritage from Aotearoa New Zealand. Her debut essay collection was published as Bound: A Memoir of Making and Remaking (The Emma Press, 2024) in the UK and Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary (Tin House, 2025) in the US. She co-edits Starling, a literary journal for emerging New Zealand writers, and writes a sporadic Substack. She currently lives in Melbourne. In Patchwork, a charming and evocative sewist's diary, Maddie Ballard explores the making (and sometimes remaking) of seventeen specific garments over a period of great change in her life—from a jacket lined with the embroidered Cantonese names of her female ancestors, to a dressing gown made as a gift for a dear friend, to an eco-friendly, zero-waste dress. As the wardrobe grows, so too does Maddie. From her first off-kilter dresses and coats to perfectly fitting pants, readers follow along as she learns to navigate the world around her and how she sees herself in it—both as she is and as she hopes to be. Stitch by stitch, word by word, Maddie drafts her own patterns for ways of living. Throughout the diary, delightful illustrations bring Maddie's creations to life on the page. With a focus on the practical comfort and pleasure provided by sewing in a time of personal renewal, Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary is a warmhearted celebration of the value of craft in the modern age.

Ahead of Mother's Day we're talking to Cassandra Lam of Mama Lam's about her own mama's Malaysian curry chicken that she ate almost weekly growing up. Her mom missed Malaysian flavors so much that she perfected her curry paste, plus a few others, and Mama Lam's was born. We talk with Cassandra about growing up with a Malaysian mom, Cantonese dad, and as a New Yorker, making the leap from marketing to a small food business, and her OG food pop-ups. And of course, we spend time talking about Mama Lam herself. She's not a regular Tiger Mom, she's a chill Tiger Mom. Plus Cassandra talks us through the other Mama Lam's products and gives us great tips on what to make with them. Not even sponsored at all. We just love this curry paste and can attest to how good this curry chicken is!!
