Arcana Coelestia # 1084
1084. 'They took a garment' means that they placed a good interpretation on it. This is clear from what has been stated already. 'Taking a garment and covering someone's nakedness' can have no other meaning when 'being uncovered' and 'nakedness' mean errors and perversities.
Matthew 22:35-40
35
One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
37
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38
This is the first and great commandment.
39
A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
