Tai pamatę, fariziejai Jam sakė: “Žiūrėk, Tavo mokiniai daro, kas per sabatą draudžiama”.

Doctrine of the Sacred Scripture # 50
50. The Church’s Doctrine Must Be Drawn from the Word’s Literal Sense and Verified by It
In the preceding section we showed that in its literal sense the Word is in its fullness, in its holiness, and in its power. And because the Lord embodies the Word — inasmuch as He is the totality of the Word — it follows that the Lord is most present in that sense, and that He teaches and enlightens a person in the light of it.
This, however, needs to be demonstrated according to the following outline:
1. The Word is not understood apart from doctrine.
2. Doctrine must be drawn from the Word’s literal sense.
3. However, Divine truth, of which doctrine ought to consist, is apparent only to people who are enlightened by the Lord.
Isaiah 49:22-23
22
Thus says the Lord Yahweh, "Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23
Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
