마태복음 4

Studie

   

1 그 때에 예수께서 성령에게 이끌리어 마귀에게 시험을 받으러 광야로 가사

2 사십 일을 밤낮으로 금식하신 후에 주리신지라

3 시험하는 자가 예수께 나아가서 가로되 `네가 만일 하나님의 아들이어든 명하여 이 돌들이 떡덩이가 되게 하라'

4 예수께서 대답하여 가라사대 기록되었으되 사람이 떡으로만 살것이 아니요 하나님의 입으로 나오는 모든 말씀으로 살 것이라 하였느니라 하시니라

5 이에 마귀가 예수를 거룩한 성으로 데려다가 성전 꼭대기에 세우고

6 가로되 `네가 만일 하나님의 아들이어든 뛰어내리라 기록하였으되 저가 너를 위하여 그 사자들을 명하시리니 저희가 손으로 너를 받들어 발이 돌에 부딪히지 않게 하리로다 하였느니라'

7 예수께서 이르시되 또 기록되었으되 주 너의 하나님을 시험치 말라 하였느니라 하신대

8 마귀가 또 그를 데리고 지극히 높은 산으로 가서 천하 만국과 그 영광을 보여

9 가로되 `만일 내게 엎드려 경배하면 이 모든 것을 네게 주리라'

10 이에 예수께서 말씀하시되 사단아 ! 물러가라 기록되었으되 주 너의 하나님께 경배하고 다만 그를 섬기라 ! 하였느니라

11 이에 마귀는 예수를 떠나고 천사들이 나아와서 수종드니라

12 예수께서 요한의 잡힘을 들으시고 갈릴리로 물러 가셨다가

13 나사렛을 떠나 스불론과 납달리 지경 해변에 있는 가버나움에 가서 사시니

14 이는 선지자 이사야로 하신 말씀을 이루려 하심이라 일렀으되

15 스불론 땅과 납달리 땅과 요단강 저편 해변 길과 이방의 갈릴리여 !

16 흑암에 앉은 백성이 큰 빛을 보았고 사망의 땅과 그늘에 앉은 자들에게 빛이 비취었도다 하였느니라

17 이 때부터 예수께서 비로소 전파하여 가라사대 회개하라 ! 천국이 가까왔느니라 ! 하시더라

18 갈릴리 해변에 다니시다가 두 형제 곧 베드로라 하는 시몬과 그 형제 안드레가 바다에 그물 던지는 것을 보시니 저희는 어부라

19 말씀하시되 나를 따라 오너라 ! 내가 너희로 사람을 낚는 어부가 되게 하리라 하시니

20 저희가 곧 그물을 버려 두고 예수를 좇으니라

21 거기서 더 가시다가 다른 두 형제 곧 세베대의 아들 야고보와 그 형제 요한이 그 부친 세베대와 한가지로 배에서 그물 깁는 것을 보시고 부르시니

22 저희가 곧 배와 부친을 버려두고 예수를 좇으니라

23 예수께서 온 갈릴리에 두루 다니사 저희 회당에서 가르치시며 천국 복음을 전파하시며 백성 중에 모든 병과 모든 약한 것을 고치시니

24 그의 소문이 온 수리아에 퍼진지라 사람들이 모든 앓는 자 곧 각색병과, 고통에 걸린 자, 귀신 들린 자, 간질하는 자, 중풍병자들을 데려오니 저희를 고치시더라

25 갈릴리와 데가볼리와 예루살렘과 유대와 요단강 건너 편에서 허다한 무리가 좇으니라

1444. 'And the Canaanite was at that time in the land' means the hereditary evil from the mother, in His external man. This becomes clear from what has been stated already about the Lord's heredity; for He was born as any other is born and from the mother acquired evils which He fought against and overcame. It is well known that the Lord underwent and endured very severe temptations - which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be described further on - temptations so great in fact that He fought by Himself and from His own power against the whole of hell. Nobody can undergo temptation unless he has evil clinging to him. The person who has no evil cannot experience the smallest temptation, for it is evil that spirits from hell stir up.

[2] With the Lord no evil of His own doing or that was His own was present, as there is with all human beings, only hereditary evil from the mother, which is here called 'the Canaanite at that time in the land'. For this matter see what has been stated above in verse 1, in 1414, to the effect that people are born with two heredities in them, the first from the father, the second from the mother. What comes from the father remains for ever, but what comes from the mother is dispelled by the Lord when the person is being regenerated. The Lord's heredity from His Father however was Divine, while the heredity from the mother was the hereditary evil referred to here, through which He underwent temptations. Regarding His temptations, see Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1-2. But, as has been stated, He had no evil of His own doing or which was His own, nor did He have any hereditary evil from the mother after He had overcome hell by means of temptations. It is for this reason that the expression at that time occurs here, that is to say, 'the Canaanite was at that time in the land'.

[3] The Canaanites were people who dwelt by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan, as is clear in Moses,

The spies returned and said, We came into the land to which you sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people dwelling in the land are powerful and the cities are very strongly fortified, and also we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekite dwells in the south, and the Hittite, Jebusite, and Amorite dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan. Numbers 13:27-29.

'The Canaanite dwelt by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan' meant evil consequently residing with the external man, such as that acquired by heredity from the mother, for the sea and the Jordan were boundaries.

[4] That this kind of evil is meant by 'the Canaanite' is clear also in Zechariah,

And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah Zebaoth on that day. Zechariah 14:21.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom. It means that the Lord overcame the evil meant by 'the Canaanite' and drove it out of His kingdom. Evils of every kind are meant by the idolatrous nations in the land of Canaan, among which were the Canaanites, Genesis 15:19-21; Exodus 3:8, 17; 23:23, 28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 24:11; Judges 3:5. Which evil is meant by each nation specifically will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere.
