Jevanðelje po Mateju 9

Studie

   

1 I ušavši u lađu pređe i dođe u svoj grad.

2 I gle, donesoše Mu uzeta koji ležaše na odru. I videvši Isus veru njihovu reče uzetom: Ne boj se, sinko, opraštaju ti se gresi tvoji.

3 I gle, neki od književnika rekoše u sebi: Ovaj huli na Boga.

4 I videći Isus pomisli njihove reče: Zašto zlo mislite u srcima svojim?

5 Jer šta je lakše reći: Opraštaju ti se gresi; ili reći: Ustani i hodi?

6 Ali da znate da vlast ima Sin čovečiji na zemlji opraštati grehe (tada reče uzetom): Ustani, uzmi odar svoj i idi doma.

7 I ustavši otide doma.

8 A ljudi videći čudiše se, i hvališe Boga, koji je dao vlast takvu ljudima.

9 I odlazeći Isus odande vide čoveka gde sedi na carini, po imenu Mateja, i reče mu: Hajde za mnom. I ustavši otide za Njim.

10 I kad jeđaše u kući, gle, mnogi carinici i grešnici dođoše i jeđahu s Isusom i s učenicima Njegovim.

11 I videvši to fariseji govorahu učenicima Njegovim: Zašto s carinicima i grešnicima učitelj vaš jede i pije?

12 A Isus čuvši to reče im: Ne trebaju zdravi lekara nego bolesni.

13 Nego idite i naučite se šta znači: Milosti hoću, a ne priloga. Jer ja nisam došao da zovem pravednike no grešnike na pokajanje.

14 Tada pristupiše k Njemu učenici Jovanovi govoreći: Zašto mi i fariseji postimo mnogo, a učenici tvoji ne poste?

15 A Isus reče im: Eda li mogu svatovi plakati dok je s njima ženik? Nego će doći vreme kad će se oteti od njih ženik, i onda će postiti.

16 Jer niko ne meće novu zakrpu na staru haljinu; jer će se zakrpa odadreti od haljine, i gora će rupa biti.

17 Niti se lije vino novo u mehove stare; inače mehovi prodru se i vino se prolije, i mehovi propadnu. Nego se lije vino novo u mehove nove, i oboje se sačuva.

18 Dok On tako govoraše njima, gle, knez nekakav dođe i klanjaše Mu se govoreći: Kći moja sad umre; nego dođi i metni na nju ruku svoju, i oživeće.

19 I ustavši Isus za njim pođe i učenici Njegovi.

20 I gle, žena koja je dvanaest godina bolovala od tečenja krvi pristupi sastrag i dohvati Mu se skuta od haljine Njegove.

21 Jer govoraše u sebi: Samo ako se dotaknem haljine Njegove, ozdraviću.

22 A Isus obazrevši se i videvši je reče: Ne boj se, kćeri; vera tvoja pomogla ti je. I ozdravi žena od tog časa.

23 I došavši Isus u dom knežev i videvši svirače i ljude zabunjene

24 Reče im: Odstupite, jer devojka nije umrla, nego spava. I podsmevahu Mu se.

25 A kad istera ljude, uđe, i uhvati je za ruku, i usta devojka.

26 I otide glas ovaj po svoj zemlji onoj.

27 A kad je Isus odlazio odande, za Njim iđahu dva slepca vičući i govoreći: Pomiluj nas, sine Davidov!

28 A kad dođe u kuću, pristupiše k Njemu slepci, i reče im Isus: Verujete li da mogu to učiniti? A oni Mu rekoše: Da Gospode.

29 Tada dohvati se očiju njihovih govoreći: Po veri vašoj neka vam bude.

30 I otvoriše im se oči. I zapreti im Isus govoreći: Gledajte da niko ne dozna.

31 A oni izišavši razglasiše Ga po svoj zemlji onoj.

32 Kad oni pak iziđoše, gle, dovedoše k Njemu čoveka nemog i besnog.

33 I pošto izgna đavola, progovori nemi. I divljaše se narod govoreći: Nikada se toga nije videlo u Izrailju.

34 A fariseji govorahu: Pomoću kneza đavolskog izgoni đavole.

35 I prohođaše Isus po svim gradovima i selima učeći po zbornicama njihovim i propovedajući jevanđelje o carstvu, i isceljujući svaku bolest i svaku nemoćpo ljudima.

36 A gledajući ljude sažali Mu se, jer behu smeteni i rasejani kao ovce bez pastira.

37 Tada reče učenicima svojim: Žetve je mnogo, a poslenika malo.

38 Molite se, dakle, Gospodaru od žetve da izvede poslenike na žetvu svoju.

672. 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls. This symbolizes the truths and goods by which evils and falsities in the church are exposed, drawn from the literal sense of the Word.

The four living creatures, being cherubim, symbolize the Word in its outmost expressions, and protections to keep its genuine truths and goods from being violated, as may be seen in no. 239 above. And because the interior truths and goods in the Word are protected by its literal meaning, therefore that meaning of the Word is symbolized by one of the four living creatures.

The seven bowls have the same symbolic meaning as the seven plagues, for the bowls are vessels, and vessels in the Word have the same symbolic meaning as their contents. So for example, a cup has the same symbolic meaning as the wine in it, and a dish the same symbolic meaning as the food. That cups, goblets, bowls, plates and saucers have the same symbolic meaning as their contents may be seen from the passages that follow after this.

We have already said what the seven angels symbolize above.

The angels were given the bowls because the subject is the influx of truth and goodness into the church in order to expose its evils and falsities, and naked goods and truths cannot flow in, as they are not accepted, but truths clothed can, such as are found in the literal sense of the Word. Moreover, the Lord also operates always from inmost elements through outmost ones, or in fullness. This is the reason the angels were given bowls, which symbolize containing truths and goods such as constitute the Word's literal sense, by which falsities and evils are exposed.

That the literal sense of the Word is a containing vessel may be seen in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, 27-36nos. and 37-49.

[2] That bowls, saucers, cups and goblets, and also wineskins, have the same symbolic meaning as the things they contain can be seen from the following passages:

(Jehovah said,) "Take this... cup of wrath from My hand, and cause all the nations... to drink... ...when they refuse to take the cup..., then you shall say to them, '...You shall surely drink!'" (Jeremiah 25:15-16, 28)

Babylon was a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunk. (Jeremiah 51:7)

...I will put (your sister's) cup in your hand... You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of... devastation, the cup of your sister Samaria. (Ezekiel 23:31-34)

The cup of... Jehovah will come around to you, that there may be vomit on your glory. (Habakkuk 2:16)

...O daughter of Edom...; the cup shall also pass over to you; you shall be drunk and laid bare. (Lamentations 4:21)

Upon the wicked (Jehovah) will rain... stormy winds, the portion of their cup. (Psalms 11:6)

...in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and He has mixed it with wine; He has filled it with the mixed wine and poured it out; ...all the wicked of the earth shall drink... (Psalms 75:8)

(Those who worship the beast) shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed with pure wine in the cup of His indignation. (Revelation 14:10)

Awake...! Arise, O Jerusalem, who have drunk from the hand of Jehovah the cup of His wrath; You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling... (Isaiah 51:17)

The woman... having in her hand a golden chalice full of abominations and the filthiness of her licentiousness. (Revelation 17:4)

...repay her double...; in the cup in which she has mixed, mix double for her. (Revelation 18:6)

...I am making Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the surrounding peoples... (Zechariah 12:2)

Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup..., that the outside of them may be clean also. (Matthew 23:25-26, cf. Luke 11:39)

Jesus... said (to the sons of Zebedee), ."..Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink....?" (Matthew 20:22-23)

...Jesus said to Peter, ."..Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?" (John 18:11)

(In Gethsemane Jesus said,) ."..if it be possible, let this cup pass from me." (Matthew 26:39, 42, 44)

(Jesus) taking the cup, ...gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood, the blood of the new covenant...." (Matthew 26:27-28, Luke 22:17)

O Jehovah, You are... my cup, You uphold my lot. (Psalms 16:5)

You will prepare a table before me...; my cup shall overflow. (Psalms 23:5)

What shall I render to Jehovah...? I will take the cup of salvation... (Psalms 116:12-13)

...the cup of consolation to drink... (Jeremiah 16:7)

A bowl has the same symbolic meaning as a cup or chalice, and so also does a wineskin (Matthew 9:17; Luke 5:37-38; Jeremiah 13:12; 48:12; Habakkuk 2:15).

Bowls, censers and thuribles containing incense have the same symbolic meaning as incense. Vessels of every kind in general have the same symbolic meaning as the things they contain.
