Studie

   

1 Και προσελθοντες οι Φαρισαιοι και οι Σαδδουκαιοι, πειραζοντες αυτον εζητησαν να δειξη εις αυτους σημειον εκ του ουρανου.

2 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους· Οταν γεινη εσπερα, λεγετε· Καλωσυνη· διοτι κοκκινιζει ο ουρανος·

3 και το πρωι· Σημερον χειμων· διοτι κοκκινιζει σκυθρωπαζων ο ουρανος. Υποκριται, το μεν προσωπον του ουρανου εξευρετε να διακρινητε, τα δε σημεια των καιρων δεν δυνασθε;

4 Γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλις σημειον ζητει, και σημειον δεν θελει δοθη εις αυτην ειμη το σημειον Ιωνα του προφητου. Και αφησας αυτους ανεχωρησε.

5 Και ελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου εις το περαν, ελησμονησαν να λαβωσιν αρτους.

6 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους· Βλεπετε και προσεχετε απο της ζυμης των Φαρισαιων και Σαδδουκαιων.

7 Και εκεινοι διελογιζοντο εν εαυτοις, λεγοντες οτι αρτους δεν ελαβομεν.

8 Νοησας δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους· Τι διαλογιζεσθε εν εαυτοις, ολιγοπιστοι, οτι αρτους δεν ελαβετε;

9 ετι δεν καταλαμβανετε, ουδε ενθυμεισθε τους πεντε αρτους των πεντακισχιλιων και ποσους κοφινους ελαβετε;

10 ουδε τους επτα αρτους των τετρακισχιλιων και ποσας σπυριδας ελαβετε;

11 πως δεν καταλαμβανετε οτι περι αρτου δεν σας ειπον να προσεχητε απο της ζυμης των Φαρισαιων και Σαδδουκαιων;

12 Τοτε ενοησαν, οτι δεν ειπε να προσεχωσιν απο της ζυμης του αρτου, αλλ' απο της διδαχης των Φαρισαιων και Σαδδουκαιων.

13 Οτε δε ηλθεν ο Ιησους εις τα μερη της Καισαρειας της Φιλιππου, ηρωτα τους μαθητας αυτου, λεγων· Τινα με λεγουσιν οι ανθρωποι οτι ειμαι εγω ο Υιος του ανθρωπου;

14 Οι δε ειπον· Αλλοι μεν Ιωαννην τον Βαπτιστην, αλλοι δε Ηλιαν και αλλοι Ιερεμιαν η ενα των προφητων.

15 Λεγει προς αυτους· Αλλα σεις τινα με λεγετε οτι ειμαι;

16 Και αποκριθεις ο Σιμων Πετρος ειπε· Συ εισαι ο Χριστος ο Υιος του Θεου του ζωντος.

17 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον· Μακαριος εισαι, Σιμων, υιε του Ιωνα, διοτι σαρξ και αιμα δεν σοι απεκαλυψε τουτο, αλλ' ο Πατηρ μου ο εν τοις ουρανοις.

18 Και εγω δε σοι λεγω οτι συ εισαι Πετρος, και επι ταυτης της πετρας θελω οικοδομησει την εκκλησιαν μου, και πυλαι αδου δεν θελουσιν ισχυσει κατ' αυτης.

19 Και θελω σοι δωσει τα κλειδια της βασιλειας των ουρανων, και ο, τι εαν δεσης επι της γης, θελει εισθαι δεδεμενον εν τοις ουρανοις, και ο, τι εαν λυσης επι της γης, θελει εισθαι λελυμενον εν τοις ουρανοις.

20 Τοτε παρηγγειλεν εις τους μαθητας αυτου να μη ειπωσι προς μηδενα οτι αυτος ειναι Ιησους ο Χριστος.

21 Απο τοτε ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να δεικνυη εις τους μαθητας αυτου οτι πρεπει να υπαγη εις Ιεροσολυμα και να παθη πολλα απο των πρεσβυτερων και αρχιερεων και γραμματεων, και να θανατωθη, και την τριτην ημεραν να αναστηθη.

22 Και παραλαβων αυτον ο Πετρος κατ' ιδιαν ηρχισε να επιτιμα αυτον, λεγων· Γενου ιλεως εις σεαυτον, Κυριε· δεν θελει γεινει τουτο εις σε.

23 Εκεινος δε στραφεις ειπε προς τον Πετρον· Υπαγε οπισω μου, Σατανα· σκανδαλον μου εισαι· διοτι δεν φρονεις τα του Θεου, αλλα τα των ανθρωπων.

24 Τοτε ο Ιησους ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου· Εαν τις θελη να ελθη οπισω μου, ας απαρνηθη εαυτον και ας σηκωση τον σταυρον αυτου και ας με ακολουθη.

25 Διοτι οστις θελει να σωση την ζωην αυτου, θελει απολεσει αυτην· και οστις απολεση την ζωην αυτου ενεκεν εμου, θελει ευρει αυτην.

26 Επειδη τι ωφελειται ανθρωπος εαν τον κοσμον ολον κερδηση, την δε ψυχην αυτου ζημιωθη; η τι θελει δωσει ανθρωπος εις ανταλλαγην της ψυχης αυτου;

27 Διοτι μελλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου να ελθη εν τη δοξη του Πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου, και τοτε θελει αποδωσει εις εκαστον κατα την πραξιν αυτου.

28 Αληθως σας λεγω, ειναι τινες των εδω ισταμενων, οιτινες δεν θελουσι γευθη θανατον, εωσου ιδωσι τον Υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν τη βασιλεια αυτου.

8939. 'I will come to you and bless you' means God's presence at that time, and influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to someone', when said by Jehovah, as presence, as also in 5934, 6063, 6089; and from the meaning of 'blessing', when said by Jehovah, as being endowed with faith and charity, dealt with in 2846, 3406, 4981, 6091, 6099, 8674, thus also as flowing in since faith and charity flow in from the Lord with a person. These are the blessing in the internal sense, for they are what make a person blessed and happy eternally. While living in the world a person calls those things a blessing which make him blessed and happy temporally, that is, wealth and important positions. Temporal blessings however are not what are meant in the internal sense of the Word but eternal ones, in comparison with which the temporal are nothing at all. For there is no ratio between what is temporal and what is eternal; there is no ratio even between several thousands or several millions of years and what is eternal, since those years have an end whereas what is eternal has no end. Therefore what is eternal Is; for that which exists without end Is, since it has its Being from God, who is Infinite - the Infinite in relation to time being He who is Eternal. But the temporal by comparison Is not, because when it has reached its end it exists no longer. From this it is also evident that 'a blessing' in the spiritual sense is that which has Being from God within it, thus is those things which constitute eternal life, consequently things which are aspects of charity and faith.

[2] The truth that worldly blessing is nothing in comparison with heavenly blessing, which is eternal, is taught in the following way by the Lord in Matthew,

What does it profit a person if he gains the whole world but suffers the loss of his soul? Matthew 16:26.

But the person immersed in worldly and earthly interests does not understand this saying; for worldly and earthly interests have a stifling effect, and cause him not to believe even in the existence of eternal life.

[3] But I can positively declare that as soon as a person dies he is in the next life, living as a spirit among spirits, and that then he seems to himself and to all others there to be altogether like a person in the world, endowed with all the senses, internal and external, 1881. I can say too that therefore death of the body is merely a laying aside of such things as had enabled the person to serve and function in the world, and in addition that death itself is a continuation of life, though in another world which is not visible to the eyes of the earthly body but is visible there in light a thousand times brighter than midday light in the world. Since all this is known to me from actual experience which I have had over so many years and continue to have, I declare it positively. I have spoken to almost all those with whom I was acquainted in the world and who have died, to some two or three days after their decease; and I speak to them still. The majority of them have been extremely displeased that they had had no belief at all in the continuation of life after death. I have talked to those people not just for a day but over months and years. I have also been allowed to witness their succeeding or progressive states of life taking them either to hell or to heaven. Consequently let anyone who wishes to be happy for evermore know and believe that he is going to be alive after death; let him think about it and remember it, for it is the truth. Let him also know and believe that the Word is the one and only teacher of how a person should live in the world in order to be happy for evermore.
