马太福音 13

Studie

   

1 当那一天,耶稣从房子里出来,在海边。

2 有许多人到他那里聚集,他只得上船下,众人都站在岸上。

3 他用比喻对他们讲许多道理,:有一个撒种的出去撒种;

4 撒的时候,有落在旁的,飞鸟吃尽了;

5 有落在土浅石头地上的,土既不深,发苗最快,

6 日头出来一晒,因为没有根,就枯乾了;

7 有落在荆棘里的,荆棘长起来,把他挤住了;

8 又有落在好土里的,就结实,有一百倍的,有六十倍的,有三十倍的。

9 有耳可的,就应当

10 门徒进前来,问耶稣:对众人讲话,为甚麽用比喻呢?

11 耶稣回答:因为国的奥秘只叫你们知道,不叫他们知道。

12 凡有的,还要加给他,叫他有馀;凡没有的,连他所有的,也要夺去。

13 所以我用比喻对他们讲,是因他们看也看不见,不见,也不明白。

14 在他们身上,正应了以赛亚的预言,:你们是要见,却不明白;看是要看见,却不晓得;

15 因为这百姓油蒙了心,耳朵发沉,眼睛闭着,恐怕眼睛看见,耳朵见,心里明白,回过来,我就医治他们。

16 但你们的眼睛是有福的,因为看见了;你们的耳朵也是有福的,因为见了。

17 我实在告诉你们,从前有许多先知和人要看你们所看的,却没有看见,要你们所的,却没有见。

18 所以,你们当这撒种的比喻。

19 见天国道理不明白的,那恶者就,把所撒在他心里的夺了去;这就是撒在旁的了。

20 撒在石头地上的,就是人了道,当下欢喜领受,

21 只因心里没有根,不过是暂时的,及至为道遭了患难,或是受了逼迫,立刻就跌倒了。

22 撒在荆棘里的,就是人了道,後来有世上的思虑、钱财的迷惑把道挤住了,不能结实。

23 撒在好地上的,就是人道明白了,後来结实,有一百倍的,有六十倍的,有三十倍的。

24 耶稣又设个比喻对他们国好像人撒好种在田里,

25 及至人睡觉的时候,有仇敌来,将稗子撒在麦子里就走了。

26 到长苗吐穗的时候,稗子也显出来。

27 田主的仆人来告诉他:主阿,你不是撒好种在田里麽?从那里来的稗子呢?

28 主人:这是仇敌做的。仆人:你要我们去薅出来麽?

29 主人:不必,恐怕薅稗子,连麦子也拔出来。

30 容这两样一齐长,等着收割。当收割的时候,我要对收割的人,先将稗子薅出来,捆成捆,留着烧;惟有麦子要收在仓里。

31 他又设个比喻对他们国好像一粒芥菜种,有人拿去种在田里。

32 这原是百种里最小的,等到长起,却比各样的菜都大,且成了树,上的飞鸟宿在他的枝上。

33 他又对他们讲个比喻国好像面,有妇人拿来,藏在斗面里,直等全团都发起来

34 这都是耶稣用比喻对众人的话;若不用比喻,就不对他们甚麽。

35 这是要应验先知的话,:我要开口用比喻,把创世以来所藏的事发明出来。

36 当下,耶稣离开众人,进了房子。他的门徒进前来,说:请把田间稗子的比喻讲给我们听。

37 回答:那撒好种的就是人子;

38 田地就是世界;好种就是天国之子;稗子就是那恶者之子;

39 撒稗子的仇敌就是魔鬼;收割的时候就是世界的末了;收割的人就是天使

40 将稗子薅出来用火焚烧,世界的末了也要如此。

41 人子要差遣使者,把一切叫人跌倒的和作恶的,从他国里挑出来,

42 丢在火炉里;在那里必要哀哭切齿了。

43 那时,人在他们父的国里,要发出光来,像太阳一样。有耳可的,就应当

44 国好像宝贝藏在地里,人遇见了就把他藏起来,欢欢喜喜的去变卖一切所有的,买这块地。

45 国又好像买卖人寻找好珠子,

46 遇见一颗重价的珠子,就去变卖他一切所有的,买了这颗珠子。

47 国又好像网撒在海里,聚拢各样水族,

48 网既满了,人就拉上岸来,下,拣好的收在器具里,将不好的丢弃了。

49 世界的末了也要这样。天使要出来,从人中把恶人分别出来,

50 丢在火炉里;在那里必要哀哭切齿了。

51 耶稣:这一切的话你们都明白了麽?他们:我们明白了。

52 :凡文士受教作国的门徒,就像一个家主从他库里拿出新旧的东西来。

53 耶稣说完了这些比喻,就离开那里,

54 到自己的家乡,在会堂里教训人,甚至他们都希奇,:这人从那里有这等智慧和异能呢?

55 这不是木匠的儿子麽?他母亲不是叫马利亚麽?他弟兄们不是叫雅各、约西(有古卷:约瑟)、西门、犹大麽?

56 妹妹们不是都在我们这里麽?这人从那里有这一切的事呢?

57 他们就厌弃他(厌弃他:原文是因他跌倒)。耶稣对他们:大凡先知,除了本地本家之外,没有不被人尊敬的。

58 耶稣因为他们不信,就在那里不多行异能了。

230. The profanation of what is holy is referred to in the second of the Ten Commandments in the words, "You shall not profane the name of your God" [Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11]; and the Lord's prayer is telling us that we must not profane what is holy when it says, "Hallowed be your name" [Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2]. Hardly anyone in all Christendom knows what "the name of God" means. This is because people do not know that people in the spiritual world do not have names the way we do in this physical world. Rather, each individual is named for her or his own love and wisdom. As soon as we enter a community or a gathering of people, we are immediately given a name that expresses our nature. We are named in a spiritual language that is essentially able to give a distinctive name to every individual thing, because every letter in its alphabet means something definite; and when many letters are combined into a single word, as happens with an individual's name, they include the whole state of that object. This is just one of the marvels of the spiritual world.

[2] We can see from this that in the Word, "the name of God" means both God and everything divine that is in him and that emanates from him. Since the Word is a divine emanation, it is a name of God; and since all the divine gifts that we refer to as the spiritual gifts of the church come from the Word, they too are a name of God.

This enables us to see what "You shall not profane the name of your God" means in the second of the Ten Commandments, and what "Hallowed be your name" means in the Lord's Prayer.

"The name of God" and "the name of the Lord" mean much the same in many passages in the Word in both Testaments. See, for example, Matthew 7:22; Matthew 10:22; Matthew 18:5, 20; Matthew 19:29; Matthew 21:9; Matthew 24:9-10; John 1:12; John 2:23; John 3:17-18; John 12:13, 28; John 14:14-15, 16; John 16:23-24, 26-27; John 17:6; and John 20:31, among others, as well as a great many in the Old Testament.

[3] If you know the meaning of this "name," then you can know the meaning of the Lord's words, "Whoever accepts a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward; and whoever gives one of these little ones something cold to drink in the name of a disciple will not lose the reward" (Matthew 10:21 [Matthew 10:41-42]). If you understand the name of a prophet or a righteous person or a disciple to mean nothing but the prophet or the righteous person or the disciple, then the only meaning you get will be a literal one. You will not know, either, what is meant by the reward of the prophet or the reward of the righteous person or the reward for the cold drink given on behalf of the disciple. Yet the name and the reward of the prophet mean the blessed state of people who enjoy divine gifts of truth, and the name and the reward of the righteous person mean the blessed state of people who enjoy divine gifts of what is good, while the disciple means the state of people who have some of the spiritual gifts of the church, and the cold drink is any element of truth.

[4] We can also tell that the name means the nature of the state of love and wisdom, or of what is good and true, from these words of the Lord: "The one who comes in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The doorkeeper opens to him and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out" (Matthew 10:2, 3 [John 10:2-3]). "Calling sheep by name" is teaching and leading every individual whose deeds are prompted by caring, and doing so in keeping with that individual's state of love and wisdom. "The door" means the Lord, as we can tell from verse 9: "I am the door. Anyone who enters in by me will be saved." This shows that we need to turn to the Lord himself if we are to be saved, and that the one who does turn to him is a shepherd of his sheep. Anyone who does not turn to him is a thief and a robber, as it says in the first verse of the same chapter.
