Ματθαίος 11

Studie

   

1 Και οτε ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους διαταττων εις τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου, μετεβη εκειθεν δια να διδασκη και να κηρυττη εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων.

2 Ο δε Ιωαννης, ακουσας εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του Χριστου, επεμψε δυο των μαθητων αυτου,

3 και ειπε προς αυτον· Συ εισαι ο ερχομενος, η αλλον προσδοκωμεν;

4 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους· Υπαγετε και απαγγειλατε προς τον Ιωαννην οσα ακουετε και βλεπετε·

5 τυφλοι αναβλεπουσι και χωλοι περιπατουσι, λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσι, νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται·

6 και μακαριος ειναι οστις δεν σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι.

7 Ενω δε ουτοι ανεχωρουν, ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να λεγη προς τους οχλους περι του Ιωαννου· Τι εξηλθετε εις την ερημον να ιδητε; καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον;

8 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; ανθρωπον ενδεδυμενον μαλακα ιματια; ιδου, οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων ευρισκονται.

9 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; προφητην; ναι, σας λεγω, και περισσοτερον προφητου.

10 Διοτι ουτος ειναι, περι του οποιου ειναι γεγραμμενον· Ιδου, εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου, οστις θελει κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου.

11 Αληθως σας λεγω, μεταξυ των γεννηθεντων υπο γυναικων δεν ηγερθη μεγαλητερος Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου· πλην ο μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων ειναι μεγαλητερος αυτου.

12 Απο δε των ημερων Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως του νυν η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται, και οι βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην.

13 Διοτι παντες οι προφηται και ο νομος εως Ιωαννου προεφητευσαν.

14 Και αν θελητε να δεχθητε τουτο, αυτος ειναι ο Ηλιας, οστις εμελλε να ελθη.

15 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.

16 Αλλα με τι να ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην; ειναι ομοια με παιδαρια καθημενα εν ταις αγοραις και φωναζοντα προς τους συντροφους αυτων,

17 και λεγοντα· Αυλον σας επαιξαμεν, και δεν εχορευσατε, σας εθρηνωδησαμεν, και δεν εκλαυσατε.

18 Διοτι ηλθεν ο Ιωαννης μητε τρωγων μητε πινων, και λεγουσι· Δαιμονιον εχει.

19 Ηλθεν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τρωγων και πινων, και λεγουσιν· Ιδου, ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης, φιλος τελωνων και αμαρτωλων. Και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτης.

20 Τοτε ηρχισε να ονειδιζη τας πολεις εν αις εγειναν τα πλειοτερα θαυματα αυτου, διοτι δεν μετενοησαν·

21 Ουαι εις σε, Χοραζιν, ουαι εις σε, Βηθσαιδαν· διοτι εαν τα θαυματα τα γενομενα εν υμιν εγινοντο εν τη Τυρω και Σιδωνι προ πολλου ηθελον μετανοησει εν σακκω και σποδω.

22 Πλην σας λεγω εις την Τυρον και Σιδωνα ελαφροτερα θελει εισθαι η τιμωρια εν ημερα κρισεως παρα εις εσας.

23 Και συ, Καπερναουμ, η υψωθεισα εως του ουρανου, θελεις καταβιβασθη εως αδου· διοτι εαν τα θαυματα τα γενομενα εν σοι εγινοντο εν Σοδομοις, ηθελον μεινει μεχρι της σημερον.

24 Πλην σας λεγω, οτι εις την γην των Σοδομων ελαφροτερα θελει εισθαι η τιμωρια εν ημερα κρισεως παρα εις σε.

25 Εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε· Δοξαζω σε, Πατερ, κυριε του ουρανου και της γης, οτι απεκρυψας ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψας αυτα εις νηπια·

26 ναι, ω Πατερ, διοτι ουτως εγεινεν αρεστον εμπροσθεν σου.

27 Παντα παρεδοθησαν εις εμε απο του Πατρος μου· και ουδεις γινωσκει τον Υιον ει μη ο Πατηρ· ουδε τον Πατερα γινωσκει τις ειμη ο Υιος και εις οντινα θελει ο Υιος να αποκαλυψη αυτον.

28 Ελθετε προς με, παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι, και εγω θελω σας αναπαυσει.

29 Αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ' υμας και μαθετε απ' εμου, διοτι πραος ειμαι και ταπεινος την καρδιαν, και θελετε ευρει αναπαυσιν εν ταις ψυχαις υμων·

30 διοτι ο ζυγος μου ειναι καλος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον.

353. By false intelligence and wisdom we mean any intelligence and wisdom that is devoid of acknowledgment of the Divine. In fact, people who do not acknowledge the Divine Being but put nature in place of the Divine all think on the basis of their physical bodies. They are merely sense-centered, no matter how scholarly and learned they are considered in this world. 1 Their learning, though, does not rise any higher than the things in front of their eyes in this world, things that they keep in their memory and inspect almost physically. This is the case even though the very same branches of knowledge serve truly intelligent people as a means of forming their understanding. By "branches of knowledge" we mean the various experimental disciplines such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, mechanics, geometry, anatomy, psychology, philosophy, and political history, as well as the realms of literature and criticism and language study.

[2] There are church dignitaries who deny the Divine. They do not raise their thoughts any higher than the sensory concerns of the outer person. They look on the contents of the Word as no different from knowledge about anything else; they do not treat those contents as subjects of thought or of any thorough consideration by an enlightened rational mind. This is because their own deeper levels are closed off, and along with them, the more outward levels that are next to these deeper ones. The reason they are closed is that they have turned their backs on heaven and reversed the things that they could see there, things that are proper to the deeper levels of the human mind, as we have noted before. This is why they cannot see what is true and good - because these matters are in darkness for them, while what is false and evil is in the light.

[3] Nevertheless, sense-centered people can think logically, some of them actually with more skill and penetration than other people. However, they rely on deceptive sensory appearances bolstered by their own learning, and since they can think logically in this fashion, they think they are wiser than other people. 2 The fire that fuels their reasoning is the fire of love for themselves and the world.

These are the people who are devoted to false intelligence and wisdom, the ones meant by the Lord in Matthew: "Seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand" (Matthew 13:13-15); and again, "Things are hidden from the intelligent and wise and revealed to children" (Matthew 11:25-26).

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] The sensory level is the outmost level of our life, attached to and embedded in our bodies: 5077, 5767, 9212, 9216, 9331, 9730. We call people sense-centered if they evaluate and decide about everything on the basis of their physical senses and do not believe anything unless they see it with their eyes and touch it with their hands: 5094, 7693. People like this do their thinking in their most external minds, and not more inwardly within themselves: 5089, 5094, 6564, 7693. Their deeper levels are closed, so that they can see nothing of divine truth: 6564, 6844-6845. In short, they are in a crude natural illumination and can see nothing that comes from heaven's light: 6201, 6310, 6564, 6844-6845, 6598, 6612, 6614, 6622, 6624. So they are profoundly opposed to whatever involves heaven and the church: 6201, 6316 [6310?], 6844-6845, 6948-6949. Scholars who have convinced themselves in opposition to the truths of the church are sense-centered: 6316. A description of the nature of sense-centered people: 10236.

2. [Swedenborg's footnote] The logical thinking of sense-centered people is both keen and skillful because they place all intelligence in talking from their physical memory: 195-196, 5700, 10236. However, all this relies on deceptive sensory appearances: 5084, 6948-6949, 7693. Sense-centered people are more canny and vicious than others: 7693, 10236. The ancients called people like this "serpents of the tree of knowledge": 195-197, 6398, 6949, 10313.
