Ματθαίος 4

Studie

   

1 Τοτε ο Ιησους εφερθη υπο του Πνευματος εις την ερημον δια να πειρασθη υπο του διαβολου,

2 και νηστευσας ημερας τεσσαρακοντα και νυκτας τεσσαρακοντα, υστερον επεινασε.

3 Και ελθων προς αυτον ο πειραζων ειπεν· Εαν ησαι Υιος του Θεου, ειπε να γεινωσιν αρτοι οι λιθοι ουτοι.

4 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν· Ειναι γεγραμμενον, Με αρτον μονον δεν θελει ζησει ο ανθρωπος, αλλα με παντα λογον εξερχομενον δια στοματος Θεου.

5 Τοτε παραλαμβανει αυτον ο διαβολος εις την αγιαν πολιν και στηνει αυτον επι το πτερυγιον του ιερου

6 και λεγει προς αυτον, Εαν ησαι Υιος του Θεου, ριψον σεαυτον κατω· διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον, Οτι θελει προσταξει εις τους αγγελους αυτου περι σου, και θελουσι σε σηκωνει επι των χειρων αυτων, δια να μη προσκοψης προς λιθον τον ποδα σου.

7 Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Παλιν ειναι γεγραμμενον, δεν θελεις πειρασει Κυριον τον Θεον σου.

8 Παλιν παραλαμβανει αυτον ο διαβολος εις ορος πολυ υψηλον, και δεικνυει εις αυτον παντα τα βασιλεια του κοσμου και την δοξαν αυτων,

9 και λεγει προς αυτον· Ταυτα παντα θελω σοι δωσει, εαν πεσων προσκυνησης με.

10 Τοτε ο Ιησους λεγει προς αυτον· Υπαγε, Σατανα· διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον, Κυριον τον Θεον σου θελεις προσκυνησει και αυτον μονον θελεις λατρευσει.

11 Τοτε αφινει αυτον ο διαβολος, και ιδου, αγγελοι προσηλθον και υπηρετουν αυτον.

12 Ακουσας δε ο Ιησους οτι ο Ιωαννης παρεδοθη, ανεχωρησεν εις την Γαλιλαιαν.

13 Και αφησας την Ναζαρετ ηλθε και κατωκησεν εις Καπερναουμ την παραθαλασσιαν εν τοις οριοις Ζαβουλων και Νεφθαλειμ.

14 Δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια Ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντος·

15 Γη Ζαβουλων και γη Νεφθαλειμ, κατα την οδον της θαλασσης, περαν του Ιορδανου, Γαλιλαια των εθνων.

16 Ο λαος ο καθημενος εν σκοτει ειδε φως μεγα, και εις τους καθημενους εν τοπω και σκια θανατου φως ανετειλεν εις αυτους.

17 Απο τοτε ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να κηρυττη και να λεγη· Μετανοειτε διοτι επλησιασεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων.

18 Περιπατων δε ο Ιησους παρα την θαλασσαν της Γαλιλαιας, ειδε δυο αδελφους, Σιμωνα τον λεγομενον Πετρον και Ανδρεαν τον αδελφον αυτου, ριπτοντας δικτυον εις την θαλασσαν· διοτι ησαν αλιεις·

19 και λεγει προς αυτους· Ελθετε οπισω μου και θελω σας καμει αλιεις ανθρωπων.

20 Οι δε αφησαντες ευθυς τα δικτυα, ηκολουθησαν αυτον.

21 Και προχωρησας εκειθεν ειδεν αλλους δυο αδελφους, Ιακωβον τον του Ζεβεδαιου και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου, εν τω πλοιω μετα Ζεβεδαιου του πατρος αυτων επισκευαζοντας τα δικτυα αυτων, και εκαλεσεν αυτους.

22 Οι δε αφησαντες ευθυς το πλοιον και τον πατερα αυτων, ηκολουθησαν αυτον.

23 Και περιηρχετο ο Ιησους ολην την Γαλιλαιαν, διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυττων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν ασθενειαν μεταξυ του λαου.

24 Και διηλθεν η φημη αυτου εις ολην την Συριαν, και εφερον προς αυτον παντας τους κακως εχοντας υπο διαφορων νοσηματων και βασανων συνεχομενους και δαιμονιζομενους και σεληνιαζομενους και παραλυτικους, και εθεραπευσεν αυτους·

25 και ηκολουθησαν αυτον οχλοι πολλοι απο της Γαλιλαιας και Δεκαπολεως και Ιεροσολυμων και Ιουδαιας και απο περαν του Ιορδανου.

20. I was once asked how, from a philosopher, I became a theologian; and I answered, "In the same manner that fishermen were made disciples and apostles by the Lord: and that I also had from early youth been a spiritual fisherman." On this, my questioner asked, "What is a spiritual fisherman?" I replied, "A fisherman, in the Word, in its spiritual sense, signifies a man who investigates and teaches natural truths, and afterwards spiritual truths, in a rational manner."

[2] On his inquiring, "How is this demonstrated?" I said, "From these passages of the Word: 'Then the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. Therefore the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast a hook into the sea shall be sad' (Isaiah 19:5, 8). In another place it is said: 'On the river, the waters whereof were healed, stood fishers from Engedi; they were present at the spreading forth of nets; their fish was according to its kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many' (Ezekiel 47:9-10). And in another place: 'Behold I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish the sons of Israel' (Jeremiah 16:16). Hence it is evident why the Lord chose fishermen for His disciples, and said 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men' (Matthew 4:18-19; Mark 1:16-17): and why He said to Peter, after he had caught the multitude of fishes, 'Henceforth thou shalt catch men' (Luke 5:9-10)."

[3] I afterwards demonstrated the origin of this signification of fishermen from THE APOCALYPSE REVEALED: namely, that since water signifies natural truths (50, 932), as does also a river (409, 932), a fish signifies those who are in natural truths (405); and thence that fishermen signify those who investigate and teach truths.

[4] On hearing this, my questioner raised his voice and said, "Now I can understand why the Lord called and chose fishermen to be His disciples; and therefore I do not wonder that He has also chosen you, since, as you have observed, you were from early youth a fisherman in a spiritual sense, that is, an investigator of natural truths: and the reason that you are now become an investigator of spiritual truths is because these are founded on the former." To this he added, being a man of reason, that "the Lord alone knows who is the proper person to apprehend and teach those things which belong to His New Church; whether one of the Primates, or one of their domestic servants." "Besides," he continued, "what Christian theologian does not study philosophy in the schools, before he graduates as a theologian? From what other source has he intelligence?"

[5] At length he said, "Since you are become a theologian, explain what is your theology?" I answered, "These are its two principles, THERE IS ONE GOD, and THERE IS A CONJUNCTION OF CHARITY AND FAITH." To which he replied, "Who denies these principles?" I rejoined, "The theology of the present day, when interiorly examined."
