От Матфея 8

Studie

   

1 Когда же сошел Он с горы, за Ним последовало множество народа.

2 И вот подошел прокаженный и, кланяясь Ему, сказал: Господи! если хочешь, можешь меня очистить.

3 Иисус, простерши руку, коснулся его и сказал: хочу, очистись. И он тотчас очистился от проказы.

4 И говорит ему Иисус: смотри, никому не сказывай, но пойди, покажи себя священнику и принесидар, какой повелел Моисей, во свидетельство им.

5 Когда же вошел Иисус в Капернаум, к Нему подошел сотник и просил Его:

6 Господи! слуга мой лежит дома в расслаблении и жестоко страдает.

7 Иисус говорит ему: Я приду и исцелю его.

8 Сотник же, отвечая, сказал: Господи! я недостоин, чтобы Ты вошел под кров мой, но скажи только слово, и выздоровеет слуга мой;

9 ибо я и подвластный человек, но, имея у себя в подчинении воинов, говорю одному: пойди, и идет; и другому: приди, и приходит; и слуге моему: сделай то, и делает.

10 Услышав сие, Иисус удивился и сказал идущим за Ним: истинно говорю вам, и в Израиле не нашел Я такой веры.

11 Говорю же вам, что многие придут с востока и запада и возлягут с Авраамом, Исааком и Иаковом в Царстве Небесном;

12 а сыны царства извержены будут во тьму внешнюю: там будет плач и скрежет зубов.

13 И сказал Иисус сотнику: иди, и, как ты веровал, да будет тебе. И выздоровел слуга его в тот час.

14 Придя в дом Петров, Иисус увидел тещу его, лежащую в горячке,

15 и коснулся руки ее, и горячка оставила ее; и она встала и служила им.

16 Когда же настал вечер, к Нему привели многих бесноватых, и Он изгнал духов словом и исцелил всех больных,

17 да сбудется реченное через пророка Исаию, который говорит: Он взял на Себя наши немощи и понес болезни.

18 Увидев же Иисус вокруг Себя множество народа, велел ученикам отплыть на другую сторону.

19 Тогда один книжник, подойдя, сказал Ему: Учитель! япойду за Тобою, куда бы Ты ни пошел.

20 И говорит ему Иисус: лисицы имеют норы и птицы небесные - гнезда, а Сын Человеческий не имеет, где приклонить голову.

21 Другой же из учеников Его сказал Ему: Господи! позволь мне прежде пойти и похоронить отца моего.

22 Но Иисус сказал ему: иди за Мною, и предоставь мертвым погребать своих мертвецов.

23 И когда вошел Он в лодку, за Ним последовали ученикиЕго.

24 И вот, сделалось великое волнение на море, так что лодка покрывалась волнами; а Он спал.

25 Тогда ученики Его, подойдя к Нему, разбудили Его и сказали: Господи! спаси нас, погибаем.

26 И говорит им: что вы так боязливы, маловерные? Потом, встав, запретил ветрам и морю, и сделалась великая тишина.

27 Люди же, удивляясь, говорили: кто это, что и ветры и море повинуются Ему?

28 И когда Он прибыл на другой берег встрану Гергесинскую, Его встретили два бесноватые, вышедшие из гробов, весьма свирепые, так что никто не смел проходить тем путем.

29 И вот, они закричали: что Тебе до нас, Иисус, Сын Божий? пришел Ты сюда прежде времени мучить нас.

30 Вдали же от них паслось большое стадо свиней.

31 И бесы просили Его: если выгонишь нас, то пошли нас в стадо свиней.

32 И Он сказал им: идите. И они, выйдя, пошли в стадо свиное. И вот, все стадо свиней бросилось с крутизны в море и погибло в воде.

33 Пастухи же побежали и, придя в город, рассказали обо всем, и о том, что было с бесноватыми.

34 И вот, весь город вышел навстречу Иисусу; и, увидев Его, просили, чтобы Он отошел от пределов их.

9527. 'And you shall make a table' means a receptacle of heavenly blessings [that belong to the good of love]. This is clear from the meaning of 'a table' as heaven in respect of its reception of such blessings as come from the Lord there, which are the good of love and the good of faith, and the joy and bliss derived from them. These blessings are meant by 'a table' because 'food' means the heavenly blessings that belong to the good of love and faith, and the wisdom and intelligence gained from them, which in everyday language too are called heavenly food and also in the Word are meant by 'food', see 56-58, 680, 681, 1480, 4459, 4792, 5293, 5340, 5342, 5576, 5579, 5915, 8562, 9003. What is more, a visual representation of those blessings is now and again made in heaven by means of a table on which all kinds of food are laid. From all this it is evident that 'a table' means a receptacle of heavenly blessings, thus heaven in respect of its reception of such blessings as come from the Lord. These blessings are also meant by 'table' in Luke,

Jesus said, I bestow on you, just as My father bestowed on Me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. Luke 22:29-30.

And in Matthew,

Many will come from the east and the west and will recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 8:11.

Also in David,

I will fear no evil. You will spread a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You will make my head fat with oil; my cup will overflow. Goodness and mercy will follow me. Psalms 23:4-6.

In the contrary sense however 'table' means a receptacle of such things as exist in hell. In Isaiah,

They go astray through strong drink. They err among the seers, they are tottery in judgement. All tables are full of vomit. Whom will He teach knowledge, and whom will He cause to understand what is heard? Isaiah 28:7-9.

In the same prophet,

You who forsake Jehovah, who set a table for Gad, and fill a drink offering for Meni. Isaiah 65:11.

And in David,

They gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Their table before them will become a snare. Psalms 69:21-22.

4281. 'The hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him' means that in the descendants of Jacob that conjunction had been thoroughly damaged and the two loves pulled apart. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'wrestling' in this sense as being pulled apart and so suffering damage. It is evident from what has been stated above in 4280 that 'the hollow of the thigh' means a joining together; and that 'Jacob' in the Word means not only Jacob but also all his descendants is clear from very many places, such as Numbers 23:7, 10, 21, 23; 24:5, 17, 19; Deuteronomy 33:10; Isaiah 40:27; 43:1, 22; 44:1-2, 21; 48:12; 59:20; Jeremiah 10:16, 25; 30:7, 10, 18; 31:7, 11; 46:27-28; Hosea 10:11; Amos 7:2; Micah 2:12; 3:8; Psalms 14:7; 24:6; 59:13; 78:5; 99:4; and in other places.

[2] Jacob and his descendants were by nature such that with them celestial and spiritual love could not be joined to natural good, that is, the internal or spiritual man could not be joined to the external or natural man. This is evident from the details told in the Word concerning that nation. For they neither knew nor wished to know what the internal or spiritual man was, and therefore that matter was not revealed to them. In fact it was their belief that nothing existed with man apart from the external and natural. Nor in all their worship did they have anything else in mind, so that Divine worship with them was wholly idolatrous; for once internal worship is separated from external, it is nothing but idolatrous. The Church which was established among them was not in fact a Church but only a representative of the Church, for which reason that Church is called a representative Church. For it was possible for a representative of the Church to exist among such people, see 1361, 3670, 4208.

[3] Indeed in representations no attention is paid to the person who represents, only to the thing represented by him. Consequently not only persons represented Divine, celestial, or spiritual things, but also inanimate objects, such as Aaron's garments, the ark, the altar, the oxen and sheep which used to be sacrificed, the lampstand with its lamps, the bread of the presence on the table of gold, the oil with which they were anointed, the frankincense, and other objects like these. This was why their kings, bad ones no less than the good, represented the Lord's kingship, and why their high priests, bad ones no less than the good, represented the things that belong to the Lord's Divine priesthood, when they performed their own function in external form according to the prescribed rules and commands. In order therefore that among them a representative of the Church might come into existence they were provided through plainly visible revelation with such prescribed rules and such laws as would be entirely representative. Therefore as long as they kept to them and strictly complied with them, those people were able to play a representative role. But when they deviated from them into the prescribed rules and laws of other nations, and in particular to the worship of another god, they deprived themselves of their ability to play that representative role. For this reason they were coerced by external means - which were captivities, calamities, threats, and miracles - into obeying laws and prescribed rules that were truly representative, not by internal means, as those people are whose external worship has internal within it. These are the considerations that are meant in the internal historical sense by the words 'the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint', which sense has regard to Jacob and his descendants.
