1 ኢየሱስም አሥራ ሁለቱን ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ማዘዝ በፈጸመ ጊዜ በከተሞቻቸው ሊያስተምርና ሊሰብክ ከዚያ አለፈ።

2 ዮሐንስም በወህኒ ሳለ የክርስቶስን ሥራ ሰምቶ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሁለት ላከና።

3 የሚመጣው አንተ ነህን? ወይስ ሌላ እንጠብቅ? አለው።

4 ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ሄዳችሁ ያያችሁትን የሰማችሁትንም ለዮሐንስ አውሩለት፤

5 ዕውሮች ያያሉ አንካሶችም ይሄዳሉ፥ ለምጻሞችም ይነጻሉ ደንቆሮችም ይሰማሉ፥ ሙታንም ይነሣሉ

6 ለድሆችም ወንጌል ይሰበካል፤ በእኔም የማይሰናከለው ሁሉ ብፁዕ ነው።

7 እነዚያም ሲሄዱ ኢየሱስ ለሕዝቡ ስለ ዮሐንስ ሊናገር ጀመረ እንዲህም አለ። ምን ልታዩ ወደ ምድረ በዳ ወጣችሁ?

8 ነፋስ የሚወዘውዘውን ሸምበቆን? ወይስ ምን ልታዩ ወጣችሁ? ቀጭን ልብስ የለበሰ ሰውን? እነሆ፥ ቀጭን ልብስ የለበሱ በነገሥታት ቤት አሉ።

9 ወይስ ምን ልታዩ ወጣችሁ? ነቢይን? አዎን እላችኋለሁ፥ ከነቢይም የሚበልጠውን።

10 እነሆ፥ መንገድህን በፊትህ የሚጠርግ መልክተኛዬን በፊትህ እልካለሁ

11 ተብሎ የተጻፈለት ይህ ነውና። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከሴቶች ከተወለዱት መካከል ከመጥምቁ ዮሐንስ የሚበልጥ አልተነሣም፤ በመንግሥተ ሰማያት ግን ከሁሉ የሚያንሰው ይበልጠዋል።

12 ከመጥምቁም ከዮሐንስ ዘመን ጀምሮ እስከ ዛሬ ድረስ መንግሥተ ሰማያት ትገፋለች፥ ግፈኞችም ይናጠቋታል።

13 ነቢያት ሁሉና ሕጉ እስከ ዮሐንስ ድረስ ትንቢት ተናገሩ፤

14 ልትቀበሉትስ ብትወዱ፥ ይመጣ ዘንድ ያለው ኤልያስ ይህ ነው።

15 የሚሰማ ጆሮ ያለው ይስማ።

16 ነገር ግን ይህን ትውልድ በምን እመስለዋለሁ? በገበያ የሚቀመጡትን ልጆች ይመስላሉ፥ እነርሱም ባልንጀሮቻቸውን እየጠሩ።

17 እንቢልታ ነፋንላችሁ ዘፈንም አልዘፈናችሁም ሙሾ አወጣንላችሁ ዋይ ዋይም አላላችሁም ይሉአቸዋል።

18 ዮሐንስ ሳይበላ ሳይጠጣ መጣ፥ እነርሱም። ጋኔን አለበት አሉት።

19 የሰው ልጅ እየበላ እየጠጣ መጣ፥ እነርሱም። እነሆ፥ በላተኛ የወይን ጠጅ ጠጭ፥ የቀራጮች የኃጢአተኞች ወዳጅ ይሉታል። ጥበብም በልጆችዋ ጸደቀች።

20 በዚያን ጊዜ የሚበዙ ተአምራት የተደረገባቸውን ከተማዎች ንስሐ ስላልገቡ ሊነቅፋቸው ጀመረ እንዲህም አለ።

21 ወዮልሽ ኮራዚ፤ ወዮልሽ ቤተ ሳይዳ፤ በእናንተ የተደረገው ተአምራት በጢሮስና በሲዶና ተደርጎ ቢሆን፥ ማቅ ለብሰው አመድም ነስንሰው ከብዙ ጊዜ በፊት ንስሐ በገቡ ነበርና።

22 ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ በፍርድ ቀን ከእናንተ ይልቅ ለጢሮስና ለሲዶና ይቀልላቸዋል።

23 አንቺም ቅፍርናሆም፥ እስከ ሰማይ ከፍ አልሽን? ወደ ሲኦል ትወርጃለሽ፤ በአንቺ የተደረገው ተአምራት በሰዶም ተደርጎ ቢሆን፥ እስከ ዛሬ በኖረች ነበርና።

24 ነገር ግን እላችኋለሁ፥ በፍርድ ቀን ከአንቺ ይልቅ ለሰዶም አገር ይቀልላታል።

25 በዚያን ጊዜ ኢየሱስ መልሶ እንዲህ አለ። አባት ሆይ፥ የሰማይና የምድር ጌታ፥ ይህን ከጥበበኞችና ከአስተዋዮች ሰውረህ ለሕፃናት ስለ ገለጥህላቸው አመሰግንሃለሁ፤

26 አዎን፥ አባት ሆይ፥ ፈቃድህ በፊትህ እንዲህ ሆኖአልና።

27 ሁሉ ከአባቴ ዘንድ ተሰጥቶኛል፤ ከአብ በቀር ወልድን የሚያውቅ የለም፥ ከወልድም በቀር ወልድም ሊገለጥለት ከሚፈቅድ በቀር አብን የሚያውቅ የለም።

28 እናንተ ደካሞች ሸክማችሁ የከበደ ሁሉ፥ ወደ እኔ ኑ፥ እኔም አሳርፋችኋለሁ።

29 ቀንበሬን በላያችሁ ተሸከሙ ከእኔም ተማሩ፥ እኔ የዋህ በልቤም ትሑት ነኝና፥ ለነፍሳችሁም ዕረፍት ታገኛላችሁ፤

30 ቀንበሬ ልዝብ ሸክሜም ቀሊል ነውና።

10089. 'And wave it as a wave offering before Jehovah' means being endowed with life. This is clear from the meaning of 'waving as a wave offering before Jehovah' as being endowed with life through acknowledgement of the Lord and of the truth that all power in heaven and on earth is His, dealt with above in 10083. It is well known that the first thing of the Church consists in acknowledging the Lord, for the Church teaches that without the Lord there is no salvation. Many places in the Word teach that all power is His; indeed He Himself so teaches in the following places,

All things have been delivered to Me by the Father. Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22.

The Father has given all things into the hand of the Son. John 3:34-35. 1

The Father has given the Son power over all flesh. John 17:2.

Without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5.

All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Matthew 28:18.

Jesus said to Peter, You are the rock; I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:18-19.

By Peter here faith received from the Lord should be understood, thus the Lord in respect of faith, who possesses that power, see Preface to Genesis 22, and 4738, 6344(end). And 'the rock', as he is called there, means the Lord in respect of faith, 8581.

Genesis 22

Studie

   

1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

2 He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."

3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you."

6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.

9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

10 Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

11 The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

12 He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."

15 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

16 and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

18 In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."

23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
