or even if you believe it's inspired by God

或者说即使你相信是上帝所启示的
and that God told somebody to write it, that wasn't enough

上帝授意某人写的这都不足以
for ancient Christians to include it in their bible, in their canon.

让古代基督徒把它收录进圣经和正典
So inspiration, contrary to modern assumptions

所以和现代人的推测相反
was not the criteria you hear ancient people talk about.

神的启示不是古人考虑的条件之一
Apostolic authorship was one thing they talk about.

使徒的作者身份才是他们考虑的因素
So for example, Papias and other ancient writers,

比如帕皮亚斯和其他一些古代作者
they said, "Well, we accept the Gospel of Mark because,

他们说我们接受马可福音是因为
well, if it wasn't written by an apostle,

如果马可福音的作者不是使徒
it was written by someone very close to an apostle.

那也一定是和使徒关系很近的人
And it was Peter's gospel that Mark just published.

那是彼得的福音书马可将其发表了
Or Luke published Paul's gospel."

或者路加发表了
