Matthaeus 14

Studie

   

1 In illo tempore audivit Herodes tetrarcha fama Jesu :

2 et ait pueris suis : Hic est Joannes Baptista : ipse surrexit a mortuis, et ideo virtutes operantur in eo.

3 Herodes enim tenuit Joannem, et alligavit eum : et posuit in carcerem propter Herodiadem uxorem fratris sui.

4 Dicebat enim illi Joannes : Non licet tibi habere eam.

5 Et volens illum occidere, timuit populum : quia sicut prophetam eum habebant.

6 Die autem natalis Herodis saltavit filia Herodiadis in medio, et placuit Herodi :

7 unde cum juramento pollicitus est ei dare quodcumque postulasset ab eo.

8 At illa præmonita a matre sua : Da mihi, inquit, hic in disco caput Joannis Baptistæ.

9 Et contristatus est rex : propter juramentum autem, et eos qui pariter recumbebant, jussit dari.

10 Misitque et decollavit Joannem in carcere.

11 Et allatum est caput ejus in disco, et datum est puellæ, et attulit matri suæ.

12 Et accedentes discipuli ejus, tulerunt corpus ejus, et sepelierunt illud : et venientes nuntiaverunt Jesu.

13 Quod cum audisset Jesus, secessit inde in navicula, in locum desertum seorsum : et cum audissent turbæ, secutæ sunt eum pedestres de civitatibus.

14 Et exiens vidit turbam multam, et misertus est eis, et curavit languidos eorum.

15 Vespere autem facto, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes : Desertus est locus, et hora jam præteriit : dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella, emant sibi escas.

16 Jesus autem dixit eis : Non habent necesse ire : date illis vos manducare.

17 Responderunt ei : Non habemus hic nisi quinque panes et duos pisces.

18 Qui ait eis : Afferte mihi illos huc.

19 Et cum jussisset turbam discumbere super fœnum, acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, aspiciens in cælum benedixit, et fregit, et dedit discipulis panes, discipuli autem turbis.

20 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et tulerunt reliquias, duodecim cophinos fragmentorum plenos.

21 Manducantium autem fuit numerus quinque millia virorum, exceptis mulieribus et parvulis.

22 Et statim compulit Jesus discipulos ascendere in naviculam, et præcedere eum trans fretum, donec dimitteret turbas.

23 Et dimissa turba, ascendit in montem solus orare. Vespere autem facto solus erat ibi :

24 navicula autem in medio mari jactabatur fluctibus : erat enim contrarius ventus.

25 Quarta enim vigilia noctis, venit ad eos ambulans super mare.

26 Et videntes eum super mare ambulantem, turbati sunt, dicentes : Quia phantasma est. Et præ timore clamaverunt.

27 Statimque Jesus locutus est eis, dicens : Habete fiduciam : ego sum, nolite timere.

28 Respondens autem Petrus, dixit : Domine, si tu es, jube me ad te venire super aquas.

29 At ipse ait : Veni. Et descendens Petrus de navicula, ambulabat super aquam ut veniret ad Jesum.

30 Videns vero ventum validum, timuit : et cum cœpisset mergi, clamavit dicens : Domine, salvum me fac.

31 Et continuo Jesus extendens manum, apprehendit eum : et ait illi : Modicæ fidei, quare dubitasti ?

32 Et cum ascendissent in naviculam, cessavit ventus.

33 Qui autem in navicula erant, venerunt, et adoraverunt eum, dicentes : Vere Filius Dei es.

34 Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesar.

35 Et cum cognovissent eum viri loci illius, miserunt in universam regionem illam, et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes :

36 et rogabant eum ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent. Et quicumque tetigerunt, salvi facti sunt.

264. In the Word references to the conception and bearing of sons are taken in purely a spiritual sense; that is to say, conception stands for the thought and imagination of the heart, and 'sons' for truths. This becomes clear from the following in Hosea,

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird, away from birth, and from the womb, and from conception. Even if they bring up their sons I will bereave them so that no human being is left. But woe to them when I shall have departed from them! Hosea 9:11-12.

Here 'Ephraim' means those who have intelligence, that is, understanding of truth, while 'sons' means truths themselves. A similar reference is made elsewhere in Hosea to Ephraim, that is, a person who has intelligence but has become unwise,

The pains of childbirth have come upon him, he is an unwise son, for now he will not present himself at the mouth of the womb of sons. Hosea 13:13.

And in Isaiah,

Blush, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not gone into labour, I have not given birth, nor have I reared young men nor brought up young women. As when the report comes to Egypt, they will go into labour over the report of Tyre. Isaiah 27:4-5.

Here 'Sidon' stands for people who have possessed cognitions of faith but have destroyed them by means of facts and have consequently become sterile.

[2] And in the same prophet,

Before she went into labour she gave birth, and before pain came to her she brought forth a male child. Who has heard of such a thing as this? Who has seen such? Does a land give birth in one day? And shall I [bring to the point of birth and not] cause to give birth? said Jehovah. Shall I who cause to give birth shut up [the womb]? said your God. Isaiah 66:7-9.

This refers to regeneration, 'sons' in a similar way meaning the truths of faith. Because goods and truths are the conceptions and births of the heavenly marriage, the Lord too calls them 'sons' in Matthew,

He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, but the seed are the sons of the kingdom. Matthew 13:37-38.

And the goods and truths of a saving faith are called 'the sons of Abraham' in John 8:39, for as stated in 255, 'seed' means faith. Consequently 'sons', who are the embodiment of the seed, are the goods and truths of faith. This also is why the Lord, being Himself the Seed, called Himself the Son of Man, that is, the Church's Faith.
