1 Այս դէպքերից յետոյ Աստուած փորձեց Աբրահամին: Նա ձայն տուեց նրան. «Աբրահա՛մ, Աբրահա՛մ»: Սա պատասխանեց. «Այստեղ եմ»:

2 Աստուած ասաց նրան. «Ա՛ռ քո միակ որդուն՝ քո սիրելի Իսահակին, գնա՛ մի բարձրադիր տեղ եւ այնտեղ՝ լերան վրայ, որ ցոյց կը տամ քեզ, ողջակիզի՛ր նրան»:

3 Աբրահամն առաւօտեան վեր կացաւ, համետը դրեց իր էշի վրայ, հետը վերցրեց երկու ստրուկ ծառաներ, իր որդի Իսահակին, ողջակիզութեան համար փայտ կոտրեց եւ ճանապարհ ընկաւ, եկաւ այն տեղը, որ Աստուած ասել էր նրան:

4 Երրորդ օրը Աբրահամը բարձրացրեց իր աչքերը եւ հեռուից տեսաւ այդ տեղը:

5 Աբրահամն ասաց իր ծառաներին. «Նստեցէ՛ք այստեղ՝ էշի մօտ, իսկ ես ու այս պատանին գնանք այնտեղ, երկրպագութիւն անենք ու վերադառնանք ձեզ մօտ»:

6 Աբրահամը վերցրեց ողջակիզութեան փայտը, դրեց այն իր որդի Իսահակի մէջքին, իր ձեռքն առաւ կրակն ու դանակը, եւ երկուսով գնացին:

7 Իսահակը դիմեց իր հօրը՝ Աբրահամին. «Հա՛յր»: Սա ասաց. «Ի՞նչ է, որդի՛ս»: Նա հարցրեց. «Ահա կրակը, եւ ահա փայտը, հապա ո՞ւր է ողջակիզելու ոչխարը»:

8 Սա պատասխանեց. «Աստուած կը հոգայ իր ողջակիզելու ոչխարի մասին, որդեա՛կ»: Նրանք երկուսով գնացին

9 եւ հասան այն տեղը, որ նրան ցոյց էր տուել Աստուած: Աբրահամն այնտեղ զոհասեղան շինեց, վրան դրեց փայտը, իր որդի Իսահակին կապեց եւ դրեց զոհասեղանի փայտի վրայ:

10 Աբրահամը երկարեց ձեռքը, որ վերցնի դանակն ու մորթի իր որդուն:

11 Տիրոջ հրեշտակը երկնքից ձայն տուեց նրան ու ասաց. «Աբրահա՛մ, Աբրահա՛մ»: Սա պատախանեց նրան. «Այստեղ եմ»:

12 Նա ասաց. «Ձեռք մի՛ տուր պատանուն, նրան որեւէ վնաս մի՛ պատճառիր, որովհետեւ այժմ համոզուեցի, որ դու երկիւղ ունես Աստծու նկատմամբ եւ ինձ համար չես խնայի քո որդուն»:

13 Աբրահամը բարձրացրեց իր աչքերը եւ տեսաւ, որ մացառուտ թփի մէջ եղջիւրներից մի խոյ է կախուած: Աբրահամը գնաց, առաւ խոյն ու այն ողջակիզեց իր որդի Իսահակի փոխարէն:

14 Աբրահամն այդ վայրի անունը դրեց «Տէրը տեսաւ», եւ մինչեւ այսօր էլ ասում են՝ «Այդ լերան վրայ երեւաց Տէրը»:

15 Տիրոջ հրեշտակը երկնքից երկրորդ անգամ ձայն տալով՝ ասաց Աբրահամին.

16 «Անձովս եմ երդւում, - ասում է Տէրը, - քանի որ դու արեցիր այդ բանը՝ ինձ համար չխնայեցիր քո սիրելի որդուն,

17 անչափ պիտի օրհնեմ քեզ եւ երկնքի աստղերի, ծովեզերքի աւազի չափ պիտի բազմացնեմ քո սերունդը: Քո սերունդը պիտի տիրանայ իր թշնամիների քաղաքներին,

18 քո սերնդի շնորհիւ պիտի օրհնուեն աշխարհի բոլոր ազգերը այն բանի համար, որ անսացիր իմ ձայնին»:

19 Աբրահամը վերադարձաւ իր ծառաների մօտ: Նրանք միասին ելան գնացին դէպի Երդման ջրհորը, եւ Աբրահամը բնակուեց Երդման ջրհորի մօտ:

20 Այս դէպքերից յետոյ Աբրահամին յայտնեցին, որ ահա Մեղքան եւս քո եղբայր Նաքորի համար ծնել է որդիներ՝

21 անդրանիկ որդի Ովքին, նրա եղբայր Բաւին, ասորիների նախահայր Կամուէլին,

22 Քասադին, Ազաւին, Փալդասին, Յետդափին եւ Բաթուէլին:

23 Եւ Բաթուէլը ծնել է Ռեբեկային: Սրանք են այն ութ որդիները, որոնց ծնեց Մեղքան Աբրահամի եղբայր Նաքորի համար:

24 Նրա հարճը, որի անունը Ռեէմա էր, նա էլ ծնեց Տաբեկին, Դաամին, Տոքոսին եւ Մոքային:

2819. As regards the Lord's temptations in general, some were more external, others more internal. The more internal they were, the more severe they were. His inmost temptations are described in Matthew 26:37-39, 42, 44; 27:46; Mark 14:33-36; 15:34; Luke 22:42-44. But see what has been stated already regarding the Lord's temptations, namely the following:

The Lord first of all fought from goods and truths which were appearances of goods and truths, 1661.

Out of Divine love towards the whole human race He fought against the evils of self-love and of love of the world, 1690, 1691 (end), 1789, 1812, 1813, 1820.

He alone has fought out of Divine love, 1812, 1813.

All the hells fought against the Lord's love, which was the salvation of the whole human race, 1820.

The Lord suffered the severest temptations of all, 1663, 1668, 1787.

By means of temptations and victories the Lord by His own power became righteousness, 1813, 2025.

The Lord effected the union of the Human Essence to the Divine Essence by means of temptations and victories, 1737, 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026.

See also what has been stated already about temptations in general, in 59, 63, 227, 847.

Temptation is a power-struggle over whether good or evil, truth or falsity, is to prevail, 1923.

Temptations involve feelings of anger, and many other emotions, 1917.

Temptations are celestial, spiritual, or natural, 847.

In temptations evil genii and spirits attack the things that belong to a person's love, and so the things that constitute his life, 847, 1820.

What temptations accomplish, 1692, 1717, 1740.

The purpose of temptation therefore is that bodily things may be subdued, 857.

Evils and falsities with a person who is being regenerated are subdued by means of temptations, not done away with, 868.

Truth goes into battle first, 1685.

A person fights from the goods and truths which he has acquired by means of cognitions even when they are not in themselves goods and truths, 1661.

Spirits and evil genii activate the falsities and evils within man, and this leads to temptations, 741, 751, 761.

In temptations a person assumes that the Lord is absent, when in fact He is at such times more present, 840.

A person cannot by any means endure by himself the conflicts brought about by temptations, for they are conflicts against every hell, 1692 (end).

The Lord alone fights in man, 1661, 1692.

By means of temptations evil genii and spirits are deprived of their power to do evil and to inspire falsity within man, 1695, 1717.

Temptations take place with those who have conscience, and are more intense with those who have perception, 1668.

Temptations take place rarely at the present day; instead occasions of anxiety occur, which are something different and have a different origin, 762.

Persons who are dead spiritually are not able to suffer the conflicts brought about by temptations, 270.

All temptations bring with them despair over the end in view, 1787, 1820.

After temptations fluctuation occurs, 848, 857.

By means of temptations the good learn that [left to themselves] they are nothing but evil, and that all things are subject to mercy, 2334.

By means of temptations goods become joined more closely to truths, 272.

People are not saved by virtue of enduring temptations if they go under, or if they imagine that they have acquired merit through them, 273.

Every temptation involves freedom, greater freedom than outside of temptations, 1937.

Mark 15

Studie

   

1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."

3 The chief priests accused him of many things.

4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

13 They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

17 They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

18 They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

19 They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."

23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it.

24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

25 It was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

27 With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

28 The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."

29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.

32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

33 When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.

44 Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

47 Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
