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.

9987. 'And this is the word which you shall do to them' means a law of order. This is clear from the meaning of 'the word' as Divine Truth, and consequently a law of order, dealt with below. The ordinary meaning of 'word' is an expression spoken by the mouth, or utterance; and since utterance is thought taking place in the mind which is expressed by means of vocal sounds, 'word' also means a thing that is being thought about. This explains why in the original language whatever comes into actual being and is indeed something is called 'a word'. But a grander meaning of 'word' is Divine Truth, because the source of all that comes into being and is indeed something is Divine Truth. This accounts for the statement in David,

By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all their host by the Spirit of His mouth. Psalms 33:6.

Here 'the Word of Jehovah' is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord; 'the Spirit of Jehovah's mouth' is the life brought by His Truth; and 'the heavens' made by His Word, also 'all their host', are angels, to the extent that they are recipients of Divine Truth. The reason why angels are meant by 'the heavens' is that they constitute heaven. Furthermore, since angels are recipients of Divine Truth, Divine Truths coming from the Lord are meant by them in the abstract sense, see 8192; and in that same sense 'the host of the heavens' means Divine Truths, 3448, 7236, 7988.

[2] From this it becomes clear what 'the Word' means in John,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory. John 1:1, 3, 14.

Here it is self-evident that the Word is used to mean the Lord, for it says that the Word became flesh. The Lord is the Word because while He was in the world the Lord was Divine Truth itself; and since His departure from the world Divine Truth has emanated from Him, see the places referred to in 9199 (end), 9315 (end).

[3] In the highest sense the Word is the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, or what amounts to the same thing, the Word is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord. This is clear from very many places, for example in David,

They cried out to Jehovah, and He sent His Word and healed them. Psalms 107:19-20.

In John,

You do not have the Father's word abiding in you, because the One whom He has sent, Him you do not believe; nor are you willing to come to Me that you may have life. John 5:38, 40.

In the same gospel,

I have given them Your word; therefore the world hates them. Sanctify them in Your truth; Your word is truth. John 17:14, 17.

And in the Book of Revelation,

The One seated on the white horse was clothed in a garment dyed with blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And on His garment and on His thigh He had a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Revelation 19:13, 16.

From these and many other places it is clear that Divine Truth emanating from the Lord is meant by 'the Word', and in the highest sense the Lord in respect of Divine Truth; for it says that the name of the One seated on the white horse is The Word of God, and that He is King of kings and Lord of lords. And since the Word is Divine Truth it says that He was clothed in a garment dyed with blood, for 'garment' means truth, 9952, and 'blood' truth from good, 9393. For a fuller explanation of these things, see 2760-2762.

[4] This now explains why every truth that comes from God is called His word, as in Joel,

Jehovah uttered His voice before His army, His camp is exceedingly great; for those who execute His word are uncountable. Joel 2:11.

'The voice' which Jehovah utters is the truth from God, 9926, Jehovah's 'camp' is heaven, 4236, 8193, 8196, from which it is evident that 'those who execute His word are uncountable' means those who do God's truth. In Matthew,

[As for the one] who hears the word of the kingdom and does not give heed to it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. [The one] who has been sown on stony ground is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root. [The one] who is sown among thorns is he who hears the word but the cares of this world 1 and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word. [The one] who is sown in good soil is he who hears the word and gives heed to it, and consequently bears fruit. Matthew 13:19-23.

It is evident without explanation that 'the word' here is God's truth. The expression 'the word of the kingdom' is used because it is the truth that is heaven and the Church's; for 'the kingdom' means heaven and the Church.

[5] From all this it becomes clear that 'words' means Divine Truths that come from the Lord, as in John,

The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:63.

Therefore also the ten commandments are called Ten Words in Exodus 34:28. The reason why 'the word' is a law of order is that Divine Truth emanating from the Lord brings order to the heavens, to such an extent that it constitutes order there. Consequently the laws of heavenly order consist of Divine Truths, see 1728, 1919, 2258, 2447, 4839, 5703, 7995, 8513, 8700, 8988. The law of order meant by 'the word' in this chapter is the manner in which the Lord glorified His Human, that is, made it Divine. This is the subject here in the internal sense, the subject in the relative sense consequently being human regeneration, since human regeneration is an image of the glorification of the Lord, 3138, 3212, 3245, 3246, 3296, 4402, 5688. The reason why this in particular is a law of order is that the Lord's Divine Human constitutes order in the heavens and everyone who is being regenerated is being remade to conform to that order. Those therefore with whom that order exists abide in the Lord.
