Mateo 3

Studie

   

1 EN aquellos dias vino Juan el Bautista predicando en el desierto de Judéa,

2 Y diciendo: Arrepentíos, que el reino de los cielos se ha acercado.

3 Porque este es aquel del cual fué dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo: Voz de uno que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor, enderezad sus veredas.

4 Y tenia Juan su vestido de pelos de camellos, y una cinta de cuero alrededor de sus lomos, y su comida era langostas, y miel silvestre.

5 Entónces salia á el Jerusalem y toda Judéa, y toda la provincia de alrededor del Jordan;

6 Y eran bautizados de él en el Jordan, confesando sus pecados.

7 Y viendo él muchos de los Fariséos y de los Saducéos, que venian á su bautismo, decíales: Generacion de víboras, ¿quién os ha enseñado á huir de la ira que vendrá?

8 Haced pues frutos dignos de arrepentimiento;

9 Y no penseis decir dentro de vosotros: A Abraham tenemos por padre: porque yo os digo, que puede Dios despertar hijos á Abraham aun de estas piedras.

10 Ahora, ya tambien la segur está puesta á la raiz de los árboles; y todo árbol que no hace buen fruto, es cortado y echado en el fuego.

11 Yo á la verdad os bautizo en agua para arrepentimiento: mas el que viene tras mí, mas poderoso es que yo; los zapatos del cual yo no soy digno de llevar: él os bautizará en Espíritu Santo, y [en] fuego.

12 Su aventador en su mano [está,] y aventará su era; y allegará su trigo en el alfolí, y quemará la paja en fuego que nunca se apagará.

13 Entónces Jesus vino de Galiléa á Juan al Jordan, para ser bautizado de él.

14 Mas Juan lo resistia mucho, diciendo: Yo he menester ser bautizado de tí, ¿y tu vienes á mí?

15 Empero respondiendo Jesus le dijo: Deja ahora: porque así nos conviene cumplir toda justicia. Entónces le dejó.

16 Y Jesus despues que fué bautizado, subió luego del agua: y hé aquí los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vió al Espíritu de Dios que descendia, como paloma, y venia sobre el,

17 Y hé aquí una voz de los cielos que decia: Este es mi Hijo amado, en el cual tengo contentamiento.

4726. 'Behold, that dreamer is coming' means those futile ideas. This is clear from the meaning of 'dreams' as declarations, dealt with in 4682, in this case declarations of Divine Truth since the words used here have reference to Joseph. But because Divine Truth - that is, its essential teachings - is rejected by those who adhere to faith alone, as shown above where the Lord's Divine Human and charity are spoken of, 'dreams' in this case therefore means futile ideas. For people of this kind see falsities as truths, and truths as falsities, or if not as falsities then as futile ideas; and 'a dreamer' is one who declares such ideas.

[2] Many things reveal that Divine Truths are seen by such people as futile ideas. For example, one Divine Truth is that the Word is holy and divinely inspired even to every tiny letter, and that its holiness and Divine inspiration are due to the fact that everything in it serves as a representative and as a sign meaning celestial and spiritual things in the Lord's kingdom. But when the internal sense of the Word is laid open and teaching is provided to show what each detail represents and means, such adherents to faith alone reject those things as futile ideas, saying that they have no use, when in fact they are celestial and spiritual matters that would bring more delight to the internal man than worldly ones do to the external man. The same is so with many other Divine Truths.

Matthew 3

Studie

   

1 In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

2 "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"

3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of the Lord. make his paths straight."

4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance!

9 Don't think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

10 "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"

15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.

16 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

17 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
