Matteus 8

Studie

   

1 Kuin hän astui alas vuorelta, seurasi häntä paljo kansaa.

2 Ja katso, niin tuli spitalinen mies, kumarsi häntä ja sanoi: Herra, jos sinä tahdot, niin sinä voit minun puhdistaa.

3 Niin Jesus ojensi kätensä ja rupesi häneen, sanoen: minä tahdon, ole puhdas. Ja hän puhdistettiin kohta spitalistansa.

4 Ja Jesus sanoi hänelle: katso, ettet kenellekään sano: mutta mene ja näytä itses papille, ja uhraa lahjas, jonka Moses on käskenyt, heille todistukseksi.

5 Mutta kuin Jesus meni Kapernaumiin, tuli sadanpäämies hänen tykönsä, ja rukoili häntä,

6 Ja sanoi: Herra! minun palveliani sairastaa kotona halvattuna, ja kovin vaivataan.

7 Jesus sanoi hänelle: minä tulen ja parannan hänen.

8 Niin sadanpäämies vastasi ja sanoi: Herra, en ole minä mahdollinen, että sinä tulet minun kattoni alle; vaan sano ainoasti sana, niin palveliani paranee.

9 Sillä minä olen myös ihminen toisen vallan alla, ja minun allani on sotamiehiä, ja sanon tälle: mene! ja hän menee, ja toiselle: tule! ja hän tulee, ja palvelialleni: tee tämä! ja hän tekee.

10 Kuin Jesus tämän kuuli, ihmetteli hän, ja sanoi heille, jotka seurasivat: totisesti sanon minä teille: en ole minä löytänyt senkaltaista uskoa Israelissa.

11 Mutta minä sanon teille: monta tulevat idästä ja lännestä, ja pitää Abrahamin, Isaakin ja Jakobin kanssa taivaan valtakunnassa istuman.

12 Mutta valtakunnan lapset heitetään ulkonaiseen pimeyteen: siellä pitää oleman itku ja hammasten kiristys.

13 Ja Jesus sanoi sadanpäämiehelle: mene, ja niinkuin sinä uskoit, niin sinulle tapahtukoon. Ja sillä hetkellä parani hänen palveliansa.

14 Ja kuin Jesus tuli Pietarin huoneeseen, näki hän hänen anoppinsa makaavan ja sairastavan vilutautia.

15 Niin hän tarttui hänen käteensä, ja vilutauti luopui hänestä. Ja hän nousi, ja palveli heitä.

16 Mutta kuin ehtoo tuli, niin he toivat hänen tykönsä monta pirulta riivattua; ja hän ajoi ulos sanalla henget, ja teki kaikkinaisia sairaita terveeksi;

17 Että täytettäisiin, mitä sanottu oli Jesaias prophetan kautta, joka sanoo: hän on ottanut meidän heikkoutemme, ja hän kantoi meidän tautimme.

18 Kuin Jesus näki paljon kansaa ympärillänsä, käski hän mennä toiselle puolelle (merta).

19 Ja kirjanoppinut tuli ja sanoi hänelle: Mestari, minä tahdon sinua seurata, kuhunka ikänä sinä menet.

20 Niin Jesus sanoi hänelle: ketuilla ovat luolat, ja taivaan linnuilla ovat pesät; mutta Ihmisen Pojalla ei ole, kuhunka hän päänsä kallistaa.

21 Toinen hänen opetuslapsistansa sanoi hänelle: Herra, salli minun ensin mennä hautaamaan isääni.

22 Niin Jesus sanoi hänelle: seuraa minua, ja anna kuolleet haudata kuolleitansa.

23 Ja kuin hän oli haahteen astunut, seurasivat häntä hänen opetuslapsensa.

24 Mutta katso, suuri ilma nousi merellä, niin että haaksi aalloilta peitettiin. Mutta hän makasi.

25 Niin tulivat hänen opetuslapsensa ja herättivät hänen, ja sanoivat: Herra, auta meitä, me hukumme.

26 Ja hän sanoi heille: te heikko-uskoiset, miksi te olette pelkurit? Niin hän nousi ja asetti tuulen ja meren, ja tuli juuri tyveneksi.

27 Niin ihmiset ihmettelivät, sanoen: millainen tämä on? sillä tuulet ja meri ovat myös hänelle kuuliaiset.

28 Ja kuin hän tuli sille puolelle merta, Gerasalaisten maakuntaan, niin häntä vastaan juoksi kaksi pirulta riivattua, jotka olivat haudoista lähteneet, ja olivat sangen hirmuiset, niin ettei kenkään taitanut sitä tietä vaeltaa.

29 Ja katso, he huusivat sanoen: Jesus, Jumalan Poika, mitä meidän on sinun kanssas? Oletkos tullut tänne meitä vaivaamaan ennen aikaa?

30 Ja kaukana heistä kävi sangen suuri sikalauma laitumella.

31 Niin perkeleet rukoilivat häntä ja sanoivat: jos ajat meidät ulos, niin salli meidän mennä sikalaumaan.

32 Ja hän sanoi heille: menkäät. Niin he läksivät ulos ja menivät sikalaumaan; ja katso, koko sikalauma syöksi äkisti itsensä jyrkältä mereen ja upposi.

33 Mutta paimenet pakenivat ja menivät kaupunkiin ja ilmoittivat kaikki, ja kuinka pirulta riivatuille oli tapahtunut.

34 Ja katso, koko kaupunki meni ulos Jesusta vastaan. Ja kuin he hänen näkivät, rukoilivat he häntä menemään pois heidän maansa ääristä.

10442. 'Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants' means for heaven and the Church's sake. This is clear from the meaning of 'Abraham, Isaac, and Israel' as the Lord's Divine Human, thus that which is Divine and His in heaven and in the Church; and since that which is Divine and the Lord's composes heaven and the Church, the same three also mean heaven and the Church. For 'Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' in the Word, that these things are meant by them, see 1965, 3305(end), 4615, 6098, 6185, 6276, 6589, 6804, 6847, and also by 'Israel', 4286, 4570, and in the places referred to in 8805, 9340. The fact that such things are meant by 'Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' is clear from the Lord's words in Matthew,

I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 8:11.

Here 'reclining with them' means being in heaven where the Lord is. This is also evident from the consideration that names do not pass into heaven but the heavenly and Divine realities meant by them, 10216, 10282.

Exodus 32

Studie

   

1 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him."

2 Aaron said to them, "Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me."

3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.

4 He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."

5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh."

6 They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!

8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'"

9 Yahweh said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

10 Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation."

11 Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, "Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?' Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.'"

14 Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.

15 Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.

16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.

17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the noise of war in the camp."

18 He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear."

19 It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.

20 He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

21 Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?"

22 Aaron said, "Don't let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

23 For they said to me, 'Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him.'

24 I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:' so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."

25 When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),

26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me!" All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

27 He said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'"

28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

29 Moses said, "Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day."

30 It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin."

31 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.

32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written."

33 Yahweh said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

34 Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."

35 Yahweh struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
