Jevanðelje po Mateju 13

Studie

   

1 I onaj dan izišavši Isus iz kuće seđaše kraj mora.

2 I sabraše se oko Njega ljudi mnogi, tako da mora ući u lađu i sesti; a narod sav stajaše po bregu.

3 I On im kaziva mnogo u pričama govoreći: Gle, iziđe sejač da seje.

4 I kad sejaše, jedna zrna padoše kraj puta, i dođoše ptice i pozobaše ih;

5 A druga padoše na kamenita mesta, gde ne beše mnogo zemlje, i odmah iznikoše; jer ne beše u dubinu zemlje.

6 I kad obasja sunce, povenuše, i budući da nemahu žila, posahnuše.

7 A druga padoše u trnje, i naraste trnje, i podavi ih.

8 A druga padoše na zemlju dobru, i donošahu rod, jedno po sto, a jedno po šezdeset, a jedno po trideset.

9 Ko ima uši da čuje neka čuje.

10 I pristupivši učenici rekoše Mu: Zašto im govoriš u pričama?

11 A On odgovarajući reče im: Vama je dano da znate tajne carstva nebeskog, a njima nije dano.

12 Jer ko ima, daće mu se, i preteći će mu; a koji nema, uzeće mu se i ono što ima.

13 Zato im govorim u pričama, jer gledajući ne vide, i čujući ne čuju niti razumeju.

14 I zbiva se na njima proroštvo Isaijino, koje govori: Ušima ćete čuti, i nećete razumeti; i očima ćete gledati, i nećete videti.

15 Jer je odrvenilo srce ovih ljudi, i ušima teško čuju, i oči su svoje zatvorili da kako ne vide očima, i ušima ne čuju, i srcem ne razumeju, i ne obrate se da ih iscelim.

16 A blago vašim očima što vide, i ušima vašim što čuju.

17 Jer vam kažem zaista da su mnogi proroci i pravednici želeli videti šta vi vidite, i ne videše; i čuti šta vi čujete, i ne čuše.

18 Vi pak čujte priču o sejaču:

19 Svakome koji sluša reč o carstvu i ne razume, dolazi nečastivi i krade posejano u srcu njegovom: to je oko puta posejano.

20 A na kamenu posejano to je koji sluša reč i odmah s radosti primi je,

21 Ali nema korena u sebi, nego je nepostojan, pa kad bude do nevolje ili ga poteraju reči radi, odmah udari natrag.

22 A posejano u trnju to je koji sluša reč, no briga ovog sveta i prevara bogatstva zaguše reč, i bez roda ostane.

23 A posejano na dobroj zemlji to je koji sluša reč i razume, koji dakle i rod rađa, i donosi jedan po sto, a jedan po šezdeset, a jedan po trideset.

24 Drugu priču kaza im govoreći: Carstvo je nebesko kao čovek koji poseja dobro seme u polju svom,

25 A kad ljudi pospaše, dođe njegov neprijatelj i poseja kukolj po pšenici, pa otide.

26 A kad niče usev i rod donese, onda se pokaza kukolj.

27 Tada dođoše sluge domaćinove i rekoše mu: Gospodaru! Nisi li ti dobro seme sejao na svojoj njivi? Otkuda dakle kukolj?

28 A on reče im: Neprijatelj čovek to učini. A sluge rekoše mu: Hoćeš li dakle da idemo da ga počupamo?

29 A on reče: Ne; da ne bi čupajući kukolj počupali zajedno s njime pšenicu.

30 Ostavite neka raste oboje zajedno do žetve; i u vreme žetve reći ću žeteocima: Saberite najpre kukolj, i svežite ga u snoplje da ga sažežem; a pšenicu svezite u žitnicu moju.

31 Drugu priču kaza im govoreći: Carstvo je nebesko kao zrno gorušičino koje uzme čovek i poseje na njivi svojoj,

32 Koje je istina najmanje od sviju semena, ali kad uzraste, veće je od svega povrća, i bude drvo da ptice nebeske dolaze, i sedaju na njegovim granama.

33 Drugu priču kaza im: Carstvo je nebesko kao kvasac koji uzme žena i metne u tri kopanje brašna dok sve ne uskisne.

34 Sve ovo u pričama govori Isus ljudima, i bez priče ništa ne govoraše im:

35 Da se zbude šta je kazao prorok govoreći: Otvoriću u pričama usta svoja, kazaću sakriveno od postanja sveta.

36 Tada ostavi Isus ljude, i dođe u kuću. I pristupiše k Njemu učenici Njegovi govoreći: Kaži nam priču o kukolju na njivi.

37 A On odgovarajući reče im: Koji seje dobro seme ono je Sin čovečiji;

38 A njiva je svet; a dobro seme sinovi su carstva, a kukolj sinovi su zla;

39 A neprijatelj koji ga je posejao jeste đavo; a žetva je posledak ovog veka; a žeteoci su anđeli.

40 Kao što se dakle kukolj sabira, i ognjem sažiže, tako će biti na kraju ovog veka.

41 Poslaće Sin čovečiji anđele svoje, i sabraće iz carstva Njegovog sve sablazni i koji čine bezakonje.

42 I baciće ih u pećognjenu: onde će biti plač i škrgut zuba.

43 Tada će se pravednici zasjati kao sunce u carstvu Oca svog. Ko ima uši da čuje neka čuje.

44 Još je carstvo nebesko kao blago sakriveno u polju, koje našavši čovek sakri i od radosti zato otide i sve što ima prodade i kupi polje ono.

45 Još je carstvo nebesko kao čovek trgovac koji traži dobar biser,

46 Pa kad nađe jedno mnogoceno zrno bisera, otide i prodade sve što imaše i kupi ga.

47 Još je carstvo nebesko kao mreža koja se baci u more i zagrabi od svake ruke ribe;

48 Koja kad se napuni, izvukoše je na kraj, i sedavši, izbraše dobre u sudove, a zle baciše napolje.

49 Tako će biti na poletku veka: izići će anđeli i odlučiće zle od pravednih.

50 I baciće ih u pećognjenu: onde će biti plač i škrgut zuba.

51 Reče im Isus: Razumeste li ovo? Rekoše Mu: Da, Gospode.

52 A On im reče: Zato je svaki književnik koji se naučio carstvu nebeskom kao domaćin koji iznosi iz kleti svoje novo i staro.

53 I kad svrši Isus priče ove, otide odande.

54 I došavši na postojbinu svoju, učaše ih po zbornicama njihovim tako da Mu se divljahu, i govorahu: Otkud ovome premudrost ova i moći?

55 Nije li ovo drvodeljin sin? Ne zove li se mati njegova Marija, i braća njegova Jakov, i Josija, i Simon, i Juda?

56 I sestre njegove nisu li sve kod nas? Otkud njemu ovo sve?

57 I sablažnjavahu se o Njega. A Isus reče im: Nema proroka bez časti osim na postojbini svojoj i u domu svom.

58 I ne stvori onde čudesa mnogih za neverstvo njihovo.

7519. 'The ashes of the furnace' means to arouse the falsities that are a product of evil desires, by being present with those engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ashes of the furnace' as the falsities that are a product of evil desires, dealt with below. The fact that they are aroused through presence with those who molest is clear from what follows in the present verse, for it goes on to say that Moses scattered the ashes in the direction of heaven, before 'Pharaoh's eyes', 'before the eyes' meaning presence, and 'Pharaoh' meaning those who engage in molestation, as has been shown often.

[2] The nature of these things cannot be known without revelation, for they are things such as take place in the next life and are unknown in the world. As long as evil spirits or those from hell have been removed and are separated from heaven, that is, from the good of love and the truth of faith which are there, they are unaware of the fact that they are under the influence of evils and falsities. For in these circumstances they believe falsities to be truths and evils to be forms of good. But as soon as heaven, that is, some heavenly community, moves closer towards them, they recognize them to be falsities and evils; for the truth of faith that flows in then enables them to recognize falsities, and the good of love that flows in enables them to recognize evils. Also the closer heaven comes, or the inflow from it of the good of love and truth of faith becomes more directly present, the worse are those evil spirits tormented by their own evils and falsities, because they cannot bear that goodness and truth.

[3] From all this one may now see why Moses was commanded to take the ashes of the furnace and to scatter them in the direction of heaven, and to do this before Pharaoh's eyes, and why he, not Aaron, was commanded to scatter the ashes in the direction of heaven. For the requirement that the ashes should be scattered in the direction of heaven means the influx of heaven; the requirement that it should be done before Pharaoh's eyes means in the presence of those who molest; and Moses, not Aaron, was told to do it because this situation is brought about among the evil by truth that goes forth directly from God, 'Moses' being truth that goes forth directly from God, 'Aaron' that which goes forth in an indirect way, see 7010. All this shows what is meant in the internal sense by the contents of this verse and those immediately following - that foul and filthy things that are products of evil desires, together with blasphemy, meant by 'sores breaking out into pustules', should be aroused. They are aroused when Divine Truth flows in and heaven moves closer.

[4] Anyone may see that Moses would never have been commanded by Jehovah to do such things - to take the ashes of the furnace and scatter them in the direction of heaven - unless some heavenly arcanum had lain within them. Jehovah would never have given orders for the employment of such means to produce their effect unless they had contained something heavenly to which they corresponded. From this one may see what the Word is like, that it is very full of arcana, but arcana that are not clearly visible in the sense of the letter.

[5] The reason why 'the ashes of the furnace' means falsities that are a product of evil desires is that ashes are formed from things that have been burnt. What is being burnt, as also the actual fire, in the Word means in the good sense good that is the object of heavenly affections, but in the contrary sense evil that is the object of hellish desires. For the fact that 'fire' means those things, see 934, 1861, 2446, 4906, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324; and 'burning' means evil desires, 1297, 5215. So it is that 'ashes' means falsities, for falsities are the product of evil desires. Since evil desires are meant by 'fire' they are also meant by 'a furnace'. 'A furnace', being a container, often implies the same as its contents.

[6] The fact that 'a furnace' means these things is clear from the following places: In Malachi,

Behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant, and every evil-doer will be stubble; and the day that is coming will burn them up; it will leave them neither root nor branch. Malachi 4:1

'Burning like a furnace' stands for evil desires; 'burning them up' stands for burning with evil desires.

[7] In the book of Genesis,

Abraham looked out towards the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards the whole face of the land of the plain; and he saw, and the smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace. Genesis 19:28.

'The smoke of a furnace' stands for falsities arising from evil desires. For 'Sodom' is evil desires that stem from self-love, and 'Gomorrah' is falsity arising from that evil, 2220, 2246, 2322. In John,

Out of the pit of the abyss there went up smoke, like the smoke of a furnace. Revelation 9:2.

'The smoke of a furnace' again stands for falsities arising from evil desires, 'the pit of the abyss' standing for hell.

[8] In Matthew,

The Son of Man will send His angels, who will gather out of His kingdom all offences, and those who work iniquity, and will send them into the furnace of fire. Matthew 13:41-42.

'The furnace of fire' stands for evil desires; for the fire of evil desires is what is meant in the Word by hell-fire. Loves too are simply what fire people's lives; and loves extend into desires.

[9] In Nahum,

Draw yourself water for the siege, strengthen your fortifications; go into the mud and tread the clay; renew the brick-kiln. 1 There the fire will devour you, the sword cut you off. Nahum 3:14-15.

'Going into the mud' stands for entering into falsity, 'treading the clay' stands for stepping into evil, 6669. 'The brick-kiln' 1 stands for the falsities which they fashion and which are introduced by the evil, 1296, 6669, 7113; 'the fire' stands for the desire for evil, 1861, 2446, 5071, 5215, 6832, 7324; and 'the sword' stands for falsity, 4499.

[10] In Jeremiah,

Take into your hand large stones, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln 1 which is at the gate of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the eyes of the men of the Jews, and say to them, Behold, I am sending and will bring Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babel, and will put his throne onto these stones which I have hidden, so that he may spread his tent over them. He will come and strike the land of Egypt. Jeremiah 43:9-11.

One cannot know what these verses mean without the internal sense. 'Large stones' are falsities; 'the brick-kiln' 1 is the desire for falsity arising from evil; 'Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babel' is one who lays truth and goodness waste; the presence of his throne and tent on these stones means that he will cause falsities to reign; and 'the land of Egypt' which he will strike is the natural mind.
