Mateo 4

Studie

   

1 Entonces Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto, para ser tentado por el diablo.

2 Y habiendo ayunado cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, después tuvo hambre.

3 Y llegándose a él el tentador, dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, di que estas piedras se conviertan en pan.

4 Mas él respondiendo, dijo: Escrito está: No con sólo el pan vivirá el hombre, mas con toda palabra que sale por la boca de Dios.

5 Entonces el diablo le pasa a la Santa ciudad, y lo pone sobre las almenas del Templo,

6 Y le dice: Si eres Hijo de Dios, échate abajo; que escrito está: A sus ángeles mandará por ti, y te alzarán en las manos, para que nunca tropieces con tu pie en piedra.

7 Jesús le dijo: Escrito está además: No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.

8 Otra vez le pasó el diablo a un monte muy alto, y le muestra todos los reinos del mundo, y su gloria,

9 Y le dice: Todo esto te daré, si postrado me adorares.

10 Entonces Jesús le dice: Vete, Satanás, que escrito está: Al Señor tu Dios adorarás y a él solo servirás.

11 El diablo entonces le dejó: y he aquí los ángeles llegaron y le servían.

12 Mas oyendo Jesús que Juan estaba preso, se volvió a Galilea;

13 y dejando a Nazaret, vino y habitó en Capernaum, ciudad marítima, en los confines de Zabulón y de Neftalí:

14 Para que se cumpliese lo que fue dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo:

15 La tierra de Zabulón, y la tierra de Neftalí, camino del mar, al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea de los gentiles;

16 el pueblo asentado en tinieblas, vio gran luz; y a los asentados en región de sombra de muerte, luz les esclareció.

17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a predicar, y a decir: Arrepentíos, que el Reino de los cielos se ha acercado.

18 Y andando Jesús junto al mar de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos, Simón, que es llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en el mar; porque eran pescadores.

19 Y les dice: Venid en pos de mí, y os haré pescadores de hombres.

20 Ellos entonces, dejando luego las redes, le siguieron.

21 Y pasando de allí vio otros dos hermanos, Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano, en el barco con Zebedeo, su padre, que remendaban sus redes; y los llamó.

22 Y ellos, dejando luego el barco y a su padre, le siguieron.

23 Y rodeó Jesús toda Galilea, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el Evangelio del Reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y toda flaqueza en el pueblo.

24 Y corría su fama por toda Siria; y le traían todos los que tenían mal; los tomados de diversas enfermedades y tormentos, y los endemoniados, y lunáticos, y paralíticos, y los sanaba.

25 Y le siguió gran multitud de Galilea y de Decápolis y de Jerusalén y de Judea y del otro lado del Jordán.

1444. 'And the Canaanite was at that time in the land' means the hereditary evil from the mother, in His external man. This becomes clear from what has been stated already about the Lord's heredity; for He was born as any other is born and from the mother acquired evils which He fought against and overcame. It is well known that the Lord underwent and endured very severe temptations - which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be described further on - temptations so great in fact that He fought by Himself and from His own power against the whole of hell. Nobody can undergo temptation unless he has evil clinging to him. The person who has no evil cannot experience the smallest temptation, for it is evil that spirits from hell stir up.

[2] With the Lord no evil of His own doing or that was His own was present, as there is with all human beings, only hereditary evil from the mother, which is here called 'the Canaanite at that time in the land'. For this matter see what has been stated above in verse 1, in 1414, to the effect that people are born with two heredities in them, the first from the father, the second from the mother. What comes from the father remains for ever, but what comes from the mother is dispelled by the Lord when the person is being regenerated. The Lord's heredity from His Father however was Divine, while the heredity from the mother was the hereditary evil referred to here, through which He underwent temptations. Regarding His temptations, see Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1-2. But, as has been stated, He had no evil of His own doing or which was His own, nor did He have any hereditary evil from the mother after He had overcome hell by means of temptations. It is for this reason that the expression at that time occurs here, that is to say, 'the Canaanite was at that time in the land'.

[3] The Canaanites were people who dwelt by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan, as is clear in Moses,

The spies returned and said, We came into the land to which you sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people dwelling in the land are powerful and the cities are very strongly fortified, and also we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekite dwells in the south, and the Hittite, Jebusite, and Amorite dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan. Numbers 13:27-29.

'The Canaanite dwelt by the sea and by the bank of the Jordan' meant evil consequently residing with the external man, such as that acquired by heredity from the mother, for the sea and the Jordan were boundaries.

[4] That this kind of evil is meant by 'the Canaanite' is clear also in Zechariah,

And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah Zebaoth on that day. Zechariah 14:21.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom. It means that the Lord overcame the evil meant by 'the Canaanite' and drove it out of His kingdom. Evils of every kind are meant by the idolatrous nations in the land of Canaan, among which were the Canaanites, Genesis 15:19-21; Exodus 3:8, 17; 23:23, 28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 24:11; Judges 3:5. Which evil is meant by each nation specifically will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere.
