Matthew 8

Studie

   

1 Men da han var gået ned ad Bjerget, fulgte store Skarer ham.

2 Og se, en spedalsk kom, faldt ned for ham og sagde: "Herre! om du vil, så kan du rense mig."

3 Og han udrakte Hånden, rørte ved ham og sagde: "Jeg vil; bliv ren!" Og straks blev han renset for sin Spedalskhed

4 Og Jesus siger til ham: "Se til, at du ikke siger det til nogen; men gå hen, fremstil dig selv for Præsten, og offer den Gave, som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem."

5 Men da han gik ind i Kapernaum, trådte en Høvedsmand hen til ham, bad ham og sagde:

6 "Herre! min Dreng ligger hjemme værkbruden og, pines svarlig."

7 Jesus siger til ham: "Jeg vil komme og helbrede ham."

8 Og Høvedsmanden svarede og sagde: "Herre! jeg er ikke værdig til, at du skal gå ind under mit Tag; men sig det blot med et Ord, så bliver min Dreng helbredt.

9 Jeg er jo selv et Menneske, som står under Øvrighed og har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til den ene: Gå! så går han; og til den anden: Kom! så kommer han; og til min Tjener: Gør dette! så gør han det."

10 Men da Jesus hørte det, forundrede han sig og sagde til dem, som fulgte ham: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, end ikke i Israel har jeg fundet så stor en Tro.

11 Men jeg siger eder, at mange skulle komme fra Øster og Vester og sidde til Bords med Abraham og Isak og Jakob i Himmeriges ige.

12 Men igets Børn skulle kastes ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel."

13 Og Jesus sagde til Høvedsmanden:"Gå bort,dig ske, som du troede!" Og Drengen blev helbredt i den samme Time.

14 Og Jesus kom ind i Peters Hus og så, at hans Svigermoder lå og havde Feber.

15 Og han rørte ved hendes Hånd, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun stod op og vartede ham op.

16 Men da det var blevet Aften, førte de mange besatte til ham, og han uddrev Ånderne med et Ord og helbredte alle de syge;

17 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, der siger: "Han tog vore Skrøbeligheder og bar vore Sygdomme."

18 Men da Jesus så store Skarer omkring sig, befalede han at fare over til hin Side.

19 Og der kom een, en skriftklog, og sagde til ham: "Mester! jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end går hen."

20 Og Jesus siger til ham: " æve have Huler, og Himmelens Fugle eder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det, hvortil han kan hælde sit Hoved."

21 Men en anden af disciplene sagde til ham: "Herre! tilsted mig først at gå hen og begrave min Fader."

22 Men Jesus siger til ham: "Følg mig, og lad de døde begrave deres døde!"

23 Og da han gik om Bord i Skibet, fulgte hans Disciple ham.

24 Og se, det blev en stærk Storm på Søen, så at Skibet skjultes af Bølgerne; men han sov.

25 Og de gik hen til ham, vækkede ham og sagde: "Herre, frels os! vi forgå."

26 Og han siger til dem: "Hvorfor ere I bange, I lidettroende?" Da stod han op og truede Vindene og Søen,og det blev ganske blikstille.

27 Men Menneskene forundrede sig og sagde: "Hvem er dog denne, siden både Vindene og Søen ere ham lydige?"

28 Og da han kom over til hin Side til Gadarenernes Land, mødte ham to besatte, som kom ud fra Gravene, og de vare såre vilde, så at ingen kunde komme forbi ad den Vej.

29 Og se, de råbte og sagde: "Hvad have vi med dig at gøre, du Guds Søn? Er du kommen hid før Tiden for at pine os?"

30 Men der var langt fra dem en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede.

31 Og de onde Ånder bade ham og sagde: "Dersom du uddriver os, da send os i Svinehjorden!"

32 Og han sagde til dem: "Går!" Men de fore ud og fore i Svinene; og se, hele Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og døde i Vandet.

33 Men Hyrderne flyede og gik hen i Byen og fortalte det alt sammen, og hvorledes det var gået til med de besatte.

34 Og se, hele Byen gik ud for at møde Jesus; og da de så ham, bade de ham om; at han vilde gå bort fra deres Egn.

9416. 'And I will give you tablets of stone' means the book of the law, or the Word in its entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'tablets' as objects on which matters of doctrine and life have been inscribed, in this instance matters of heavenly doctrine and of life in keeping with it. The reason why those tablets mean the book of the law or the Word in its entirety is that the things which had been inscribed on them contained in a general way all matters of life and of that heavenly doctrine. This also explains why the things inscribed on them are called the ten words, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4. For 'ten' in the internal sense means all, and 'words' means truths that are matters of doctrine and forms of good that are matters of life. For the meaning of 'ten' as all, see 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540, and for that of 'words' as truths and forms of good that are matters of life and doctrine, 1288, 4692, 5272. This is why those tablets mean the Word in its entirety, just as the Law does, which in a restricted sense means the things which had been inscribed on those tablets, in a less restricted sense the Word that was written through Moses, in a broad sense the historical section of the Word, and in the broadest sense the Word in its entirety, see what has been shown in 6752. Furthermore the things which had been inscribed on those tablets belonged to the first stage in the revelation of Divine Truth; they were also declared in actual words uttered by the Lord before all the Israelite people. What belongs to the first stage means all the rest in their proper order; and the fact that those things were declared in actual words uttered by the Lord means direct Divine inspiration in all other stages of revelation as well. The reason why those tablets were made of stone was that 'stone' means truth, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, the lowest levels of truth, to be exact, 8609. The lowest levels of God's truth constitute the letter of the Word as it exists on this planet, 9360.

[2] There was not one tablet but two, to represent the joining of the Lord to the Church through the Word, and through the Church to the human race. This also is why they are called the tablets of the covenant, Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15, and why the words inscribed on them are called the words of the covenant, Exodus 34:27-28, also the covenant, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23. And the ark itself in which the tablets had been deposited was called the ark of the covenant, Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Joshua 3:3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16. For a covenant is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396. This explains why those tablets were divided from each other yet were joined together by being laid alongside each other. The writing on them ran across continuously from one tablet onto the other, like the writing on a single tablet. It was not, as people ordinarily think, that some commandments were written on one tablet and some on the other. For a single object divided in two, and the two parts then brought together or given each to the other, means the Lord and man joined together. The establishment of covenants was therefore accomplished in similar ways, that with Abraham for example by parting down the middle a heifer, she-goat, and ram, and laying each part opposite the other, Genesis 15:9-12; in verses 6 and 8 of the present chapter by putting blood in bowls and then sprinkling it half over the altar and half over the people; and generally in all sacrifices by burning one part on the altar and giving the other part to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the Lord when He broke bread, Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30-31, 35. Here also is the reason why 'two' in the Word means things joined together, 5194, 8423, here the Lord and heaven, or the Lord and the Church, joined together, thus also goodness and truth joined together, which is called the heavenly marriage. From all this it becomes clear why it is that there were two tablets and that both sides of them were written on, from edge to edge, Exodus 32:15-16.

[3] Furthermore when the writing and engraving on tablets is mentioned in the Word it means those things that must be imprinted in people's memory and on their life, and so remain there, as in Isaiah,

Write it on a tablet among them, and express it in a book, 1 so that it may be for time to come forever, even to eternity. Isaiah 30:8.

In Jeremiah,

The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it has been engraved on the tablet of their heart, and at the horns of your altars. Jeremiah 17:1.

In Habakkuk,

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that one running by may read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; if it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come. Habakkuk 2:2-3.
