Jevanðelje po Mateju 2

Studie

   

1 A kad se rodi Isus u Vitlejemu judejskom, za vremena cara Iroda, a to dođu mudraci s istoka u Jerusalim, i kažu:

2 Gde je car judejski što se rodio? Jer smo videli Njegovu zvezdu na istoku i došli smo da Mu se poklonimo.

3 Kad to čuje car Irod, uplaši se, i sav Jerusalim s njim.

4 I sabravši sve glavare svešteničke i književnike narodne, pitaše ih: Gde će se roditi Hristos?

5 A oni mu rekoše: U Vitlejemu judejskom; jer je tako prorok napisao:

6 I ti Vitlejeme, zemljo Judina! Ni po čem nisi najmanji u državi Judinoj; jer će iz tebe izići čelovođa koji će pasti narod moj Izrailja.

7 Onda Irod tajno dozva mudrace, i ispitivaše ih kad se pojavila zvezda.

8 I poslavši ih u Vitlejem, reče: Idite i raspitajte dobro za dete, pa kad ga nađete, javite mi, da i ja idem da mu se poklonim.

9 I oni saslušavši cara, pođoše: a to i zvezda koju su videli na istoku, iđaše pred njima dok ne dođe i stade odozgo gde beše dete.

10 A kad videše zvezdu gde je stala, obradovaše se veoma velikom radosti.

11 I ušavši u kuću, videše dete s Marijom materom Njegovom, i padoše i pokloniše Mu se; pa otvoriše dare svoje i darivaše Ga: zlatom, i tamjanom, i smirnom.

12 I primivši u snu zapovest da se ne vraćaju k Irodu, drugim putem otidoše u svoju zemlju.

13 A pošto oni otidu, a to anđeo Gospodnji javi se Josifu u snu i kaza mu: Ustani, uzmi dete i mater Njegovu pa beži u Misir, i budi onamo dok ti ne kažem; jer će Irod tražiti dete da Ga pogubi.

14 I on ustavši uze dete i mater Njegovu noću i otide u Misir.

15 I bi tamo do smrti Irodove: da se izvrši šta je Gospod rekao preko proroka koji govori: Iz Misira dozvah Sina svog.

16 Tada Irod, kad vide da su ga mudraci prevarili, razgnevi se vrlo i posla te pobiše svu decu po Vitlejemu i po svoj okolini njegovoj od dve godine i niže, po vremenu koje je dobro doznao od mudraca.

17 Tada se zbi šta je kazao prorok Jeremija govoreći:

18 Glas u Rami ču se, plač, i ridanje, i jaukanje mnogo: Rahila plače za svojom decom, i neće da se uteši, jer ih nema.

19 A po smrti Irodovoj, gle, anđeo Gospodnji u snu javi se Josifu u Misiru.

20 I reče: Ustani, i uzmi dete i mater Njegovu i idi u zemlju Izrailjevu; jer su izumrli koji su tražili dušu detinju.

21 I on ustavši, uze dete i mater Njegovu, i dođe u zemlju Izrailjevu.

22 Ali čuvši da Arhelaj caruje u Judeji mesto Iroda oca svog, poboja se onamo ići; nego primivši u snu zapovest, otide u krajeve galilejske.

23 I došavši onamo, namesti se u gradu koji se zove Nazaret, da se zbude kao što su kazali proroci da će se Nazarećanin nazvati.

14. 12. The Word was with God, and God was the Word; and all things were made by Him. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men; He was the true Light which lighteth every man: and the Word became flesh (John 1:1-14).

This was He who was before me, for He was prior to me. Of His fullness we have all received (John 1:15-16, 27, 30).

He came from heaven and is therefore above all (John 3:31). Spoken concerning Christ.

The Father gave not the Spirit by measure unto Him; the Father gave all things into His hands (John 3:34-35).

Jesus says that He is equal to the Father; in various places (John 5:18-23). That He quickeneth, and that He hath life in Himself, etc. (John 5:21, 26-27).

The bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (John 6:33). He is the bread of life (John 6:35, 50-51).

Not that any one has seen the Father, save He who is with the Father, He hath seen the Father (John 6:46).

Jesus said I am the light of the world; he that followeth Me shall have the light of life (John 8:12; 9:5, 39; 12:35-36, 46).

Jesus said, Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:56, 58). He came into the world that the blind might see, and that they which see might become blind (John 9:39).

Jesus said, I and the Father are one (John 10:30).

The Father and He are one (John 10:30).

He is in the Father and the Father in Him (John 14:10-11; 10:38; Philippians 1-4; 1 Corinthians 1:3).

That ye may believe that the Father is in Me and I in the Father (John 10:38; 14:10-11).

Jesus said, Believe in God, believe also in Me (John 14:1).

God and Christ [mentioned] together; that I and the Father will come to him (John 14:23). I and the Father are one (John 10:30).

He that hateth Me hateth My Father (John 15:23-24). All things that the Father hath are Mine (John 16:15). Jesus goes away to the Father (John 16:5-7, 16-17, 29), which is to be united to Him.

They should pray in His name, I say not that I will pray the Father for you; the Father Himself loveth you because ye have loved Me (John 16:26-28). He often says, In His name.

Father glorify Thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee. Now therefore do Thou, O Father, glorify Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was (John 17:1, 5).

N. B. Arcanum. By "to glorify" is meant to unite the Divine Truth with the Divine Good in the Human. The Lord in the Father from eternity was the Divine Good and thence the Divine Truth, wherefore when He descended He was the Divine Truth from the Divine Good; a reciprocal union, or that of the Divine Truth with the Divine Good, was effected by the Lord in the Human while He was in the world: and it was accomplished successively, especially by redemption and by the fact that He did the will of the Father, and then fully by the last temptation, which was that of the cross, for temptation unites. Then was accomplished the reciprocal union of the Divine Truth with the Divine Good, thus the Father and Son are one, thus one Person like soul and body. All Mine are Thine and Thine are Mine, but I am glorified in them (John 17:10).

I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth (John 17:19).

That they may be one in Jesus as the Father is in Him (John 17:21-23).

Thomas said, my Lord and my God (John 20:28).
