Matthaeus 9

Studie

   

1 Und er stieg in das Schiff, setzte über und kam in seine eigene Stadt. (d. i. Kapernaum, (vergl. Kap. 4,13))

2 Und siehe, sie brachten einen Gelähmten zu ihm, der auf einem Bette lag; und als Jesus ihren Glauben sah, sprach er zu dem Gelähmten: Sei guten Mutes, Kind, deine Sünden sind vergeben.

3 Und siehe, etliche von den Schriftgelehrten sprachen bei sich selbst: Dieser lästert.

4 Und als Jesus ihre Gedanken sah, sprach er: Warum denket ihr Arges in euren Herzen?

5 Denn was ist leichter, zu sagen: Deine Sünden sind vergeben, oder zu sagen: Stehe auf und wandle?

6 Auf daß ihr aber wisset, daß der Sohn des Menschen Gewalt hat Auf der Erde Sünden zu vergeben…. dann sagt er zu dem Gelähmten: Stehe Auf, nimm dein Bett Auf und geh nach deinem Hause.

7 Und er stand auf und ging nach seinem Hause.

8 Als aber die Volksmengen es sahen, fürchteten sie sich und verherrlichten Gott, der solche Gewalt den Menschen gegeben.

9 Und als Jesus von dannen weiterging, sah er einen Menschen am Zollhause sitzen, Matthäus genannt, und er spricht zu ihm: Folge mir nach. Und er stand auf und folgte ihm nach.

10 Und es geschah, als er in dem Hause zu Tische lag, siehe, da kamen viele Zöllner und Sünder und lagen zu Tische mit Jesu und seinen Jüngern.

11 Und als die Pharisäer es sahen, sprachen sie zu seinen Jüngern: Warum isset euer Lehrer mit den Zöllnern und Sündern?

12 Als aber Jesus es hörte, sprach er: Die Starken bedürfen nicht eines Arztes, sondern die Kranken.

13 Gehet aber hin und lernet, was das ist: "Ich will Barmherzigkeit und nicht Schlachtopfer"; (Hos. 6,6) denn ich bin nicht gekommen, Gerechte zu rufen, sondern Sünder.

14 Dann kommen die Jünger des Johannes zu ihm und sagen: Warum fasten wir und die Pharisäer oft, deine Jünger aber fasten nicht?

15 Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Können etwa die Söhne des Brautgemachs trauern, so lange der Bräutigam bei ihnen ist? Es werden aber Tage kommen, da der Bräutigam von ihnen weggenommen sein wird, und dann werden sie fasten.

16 Niemand aber setzt einen Flicken von neuem (O. ungewalktem) Tuch auf ein altes Kleid; denn das Eingesetzte reißt von dem Kleide ab, und der iß wird ärger.

17 Auch tut man nicht neuen Wein in alte Schläuche; sonst zerreißen die Schläuche, und der Wein wird verschüttet, und die Schläuche verderben; sondern man tut neuen Wein in neue Schläuche, und beide werden zusammen erhalten.

18 Während er dies zu ihnen redete, siehe, da kam ein Vorsteher herein und huldigte ihm und sprach: Meine Tochter ist eben jetzt verschieden; aber komm und lege deine Hand auf sie, und sie wird leben.

19 Und Jesus stand auf und folgte ihm, und seine Jünger.

20 Und siehe, ein Weib, das zwölf Jahre blutflüssig war, trat von hinten herzu und rührte die Quaste (S. 4. Mose 15,37-39) seines Kleides an;

21 denn sie sprach bei sich selbst: Wenn ich nur sein Kleid anrühre, so werde ich geheilt (O. gerettet) werden.

22 Jesus aber wandte sich um, und als er sie sah, sprach er: Sei gutes Mutes, Tochter; dein Glaube hat dich geheilt. (O. gerettet) Und das Weib war geheilt von jener Stunde an.

23 Und als Jesus in das Haus des Vorstehers kam und die Pfeifer und die lärmende Volksmenge sah,

24 sprach er: Gehet fort, denn das Mägdlein ist nicht gestorben, sondern es schläft. Und sie verlachten ihn.

25 Als aber die Volksmenge hinausgetrieben war, ging er hinein und ergriff sie bei der Hand; und das Mägdlein stand auf.

26 Und das Gerücht hiervon ging aus in jenes ganze Land.

27 Und als Jesus von dannen weiterging, folgten ihm zwei Blinde, welche schrieen und sprachen: Erbarme dich unser, Sohn Davids!

28 Als er aber in das Haus gekommen war, traten die Blinden zu ihm; und Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Glaubet ihr, daß ich dieses tun kann? Sie sagen zu ihm: Ja, Herr.

29 Dann rührte er ihre Augen an und sprach: Euch geschehe nach eurem Glauben.

30 Und ihre Augen wurden aufgetan; und Jesus bedrohte sie und sprach: Sehet zu, niemand erfahre es!

31 Sie aber gingen aus und machten ihn ruchbar in jenem ganzen Lande.

32 Als sie aber weggingen, siehe, da brachten sie einen stummen Menschen zu ihm, der besessen war.

33 Und als der Dämon ausgetrieben war, redete der Stumme. Und die Volksmenge verwunderte sich und sprach: Niemals ward es also in Israel gesehen.

34 Die Pharisäer aber sagten: Er treibt die Dämonen aus durch (W. in (in der Kraft des)) den Obersten der Dämonen.

35 Und Jesus zog umher durch alle Städte und Dörfer und lehrte in ihren Synagogen und predigte das Evangelium des eiches und heilte jede Krankheit und jedes Gebrechen.

36 Als er aber die Volksmenge sah, wurde er innerlich bewegt über sie, weil sie erschöpft und verschmachtet waren wie Schafe, die keinen Hirten haben.

37 Dann spricht er zu seinen Jüngern: Die Ernte zwar ist groß, der Arbeiter aber sind wenige;

38 bittet nun den Herrn der Ernte, daß er Arbeiter aussende in seine Ernte.

Apocalypse Explained # 612

612. The mystery of God shall also be finished, as He hath declared the good tidings to His servants the prophets, signifies prediction in the Word respecting the Lord's coming, to be fulfilled when the end of the church is at hand. This is evident from the signification of "to be finished," as being to be fulfilled; also from the signification of "the mystery of God as He hath declared the good tidings," as being the Lord's coming (of which presently); also from the signification of "His servants the prophets," as being the truths of doctrine, here the Word. That those are called "servants of the Lord" who are in truths from good, may be seen above (n. 6, 409); and that those are called "prophets" who teach doctrine, and in the abstract sense "prophets" mean doctrines, will be further shown below. The Word also is meant, because the Word is the doctrine of Divine truth, and because the Word was written through the prophets; also because everything of doctrine must be from the Word. From this it now follows that "the mystery of God shall be finished, as He hath declared the good tidings to His servants the prophets," signifies the prediction in the Word respecting the Lord's coming, to be fulfilled when the end of the church is at hand. That this is the signification of these words is evident from what just precedes and from what follows. In what just precedes it is said that this shall be "in the days of the voice of the seventh angel," which means that this shall be when the end of the church is at hand. In what follows, after the seventh angel had sounded it is said "The kingdoms of the world are become our Lord's and His Christ's;" and afterwards, that "the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His Covenant" (Revelation 11:15-19). The same is evident from this, that when the end of the church is at hand the Word is opened and a new church established. This is meant also by the Lord's coming, for the Lord is the Word, wherefore when the Word is opened the Lord appears. That the Word was opened when the Lord came into the world is known; that it has now also been opened by the revelation of its spiritual sense can be seen from the little work on The White Horse, and in the work on Heaven and Hell 1); and that now is the end of the church, in the little work on The Last Judgment 33-39, 45-52, et seq.).

[2] The end of the church is meant also by "evening," and the Lord's coming by "morning" in Daniel:

Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred (Daniel 8:14, 26).

"Evening" signifies the end of a former church, and "morning" the Lord's coming and the beginning of a new church. "Morning" has a similar signification in Ezekiel:

Behold an evil cometh, the end is come, the end is come; it hath awaked upon thee; behold it is come, the morning is come upon thee, O inhabitant of the land, the time is come (Ezekiel 7:5-7).

Here, too, the "end" signifies the end of the church, and "morning" the Lord's coming and the beginning of a new church. So, too, in Zechariah:

It shall be one day that shall be known to Jehovah, not day nor night; for about the time of evening it shall be light (Zechariah 14:7).

"One day that shall be known to Jehovah" means the Lord's coming, "the time of evening" the end of the church, when all Divine truth has been obscured and falsified; and "light" signifies Divine truth made manifest. This new light, or this morning which shall appear in the end of the church, is here meant also by "the mystery of God that shall be consummated, as He hath declared the good tidings to His servants the prophets."

[3] In the Word, "to proclaim good tidings" and "good tidings" are frequently mentioned, and this signifies the Lord's coming, as can be seen from the following passages. In Isaiah:

O Zion, proclaimer of good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, proclaimer of good tidings, lift up thy voice with power; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God; behold, the Lord Jehovih cometh in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him; He shall feed His flock like a shepherd (Isaiah 40:9-11).

It is very clear that this is said of the Lord's coming; and this is why Zion and Jerusalem are called "proclaimers of good tidings." "Zion" means all who are of the celestial church, who are those that are in love to the Lord, therefore it is said, "get thee up into the high mountain," "high mountain" signifying that love (See above, n. 405). "Jerusalem" means all who are of the spiritual church, who are those that are in the doctrine of genuine truth, therefore it is said, "lift up thy voice with power;" which signifies confession from genuine truths. "The cities of Judah," to which it is said, "Your God, the Lord Jehovih, cometh in strength," signify doctrinals from the Word, "cities" signifying doctrinals, and "Judah" the Word. Evidently Zion and Jerusalem are called "proclaimers of good tidings," for the reason that "good tidings" mean the coming of the Lord, for it is said, "Behold your God, behold the Lord Jehovih cometh in strength." That He will effect judgment, and will protect those who acknowledge Him, is signified by "His arm shall rule for Him, He shall feed His flock like a shepherd."

[4] In the same:

How joyous upon the mountains are the feet of him that proclaimeth good tidings, that maketh peace to be heard, that proclaimeth good tidings of good, that maketh salvation to be heard; that saith unto Zion, Thy king 1 shall reign, when he shall see eye to eye that Jehovah returneth to Zion (Isaiah 52:7, 8).

This, too, is said of the Lord's coming, who is evidently meant by "thy king shall reign, when he shall see eye to eye that Jehovah returneth to Zion," likewise in what follows in that chapter; this is why it is said "proclaim good tidings." (The rest of the verse may be seen explained above, n. 365).

In Nahum:

Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that proclaimeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; celebrate thy feasts, O Judah (Mark 1:15).

[5] In Isaiah:

The spirit of the Lord Jehovih is upon me, therefore Jehovah hath anointed me to proclaim good tidings unto the poor; He hath sent me to bind up the broken in heart, to preach liberty to the captives, to the bound, to the blind; to proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure and the day of vengeance for our God; to comfort all that mourn (Isaiah 61:1, 2).

That this was said of the Lord and His coming is evident in Matthew (Matthew 5:3, et seq.) and in Luke (Luke 4:16-22). The coming itself is meant by "the year of Jehovah's good pleasure and the day of vengeance for our God." "The poor to whom the Lord will proclaim good tidings," also "the captives," "the bound" and "the blind," mean the Gentiles who are said to be such because they have been ignorant of truth from not having had the Word. The Gentiles are also meant in Matthew by:

The poor hear the gospel (Matthew 11:5).

In David:

Sing unto Jehovah, bless His name; proclaim the good tidings of His salvation from day to day; for Jehovah cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in His truth (Psalms 96:2, 13).

[6] The acknowledgment and celebration of the Lord with joy of heart because of His coming is signified by "Sing unto Jehovah, bless His name; proclaim the good tidings of His salvation from day to day." The coming itself is described by "Jehovah cometh;" and as He comes when the Last Judgment is at hand it is said "He cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in truth," "the earth" meaning the church, "the world" those in the church who are in the good of charity, and "the peoples" those who are in truths therefrom. That the Lord comes when the Last Judgment is at hand has been said above, for the evil will then be separated from the good, or the goats from the sheep, and the evil will be judged to hell, and the good to heaven; this also is signified by the words of Isaiah, just above, "to proclaim the day of vengeance for our God, to comfort all that mourn." This is why, where the Last Judgment is treated of, "proclaiming good tidings" is also mentioned, as also in the following in Revelation:

And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having the everlasting gospel to proclaim unto those that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people, saying with a great voice, Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come (Revelation 14:6, 7).

That when the end of the church is at hand the good tidings of the Lord's coming will be proclaimed, is predicted also by the Lord Himself in the Gospels:

These good tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all the nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14; Mark 13:8-10).

[7] That the Lord's coming is meant by "proclaiming good tidings" and by "good tidings" can be seen also from the following passages. In Luke:

The angel said to Zacharias, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim to thee these good things (Luke 1:19).

In the same:

The angel said to the shepherds, Be not afraid, behold I proclaim to you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For there is born to you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10, 11).

In the same:

That John proclaimed to the people the good tidings respecting Jesus (Luke 3:16-18);

Jesus said, The law and the prophets are proclaimed until John (Luke 16:16).

And elsewhere:

That the Lord Himself and His disciples also proclaimed the good tidings of the kingdom of God (Matthew 4:23; 9:35; Mark 1:15; Luke 7:22; 8:1; 9:1, 2, 6).

"The kingdom of God" means a new heaven and a new church from the Lord.

[8] Because "to proclaim good tidings" signifies to announce the Lord's coming, "the good tidings" in the highest sense signify the Lord Himself in relation to His coming, in relation to judgment, and to the salvation of the faithful, in these passages in Mark:

Jesus said, Whosoever shall wish to save his soul shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his soul for My sake and the Gospel's shall save it (Mark 8:35; 10:29, 30).

Jesus said to His disciples, Going into all the world, preach ye the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15).
