Mateo 1

Studie

1 Ang aklat ng lahi ni Jesucristo, na anak ni David, na anak ni Abraham.

2 Naging anak ni Abraham si Isaac; at naging anak ni Isaac si Jacob; at naging anak ni Jacob si Juda at ang kaniyang mga kapatid;

3 At naging anak ni Juda kay Tamar si Fares at si Zara; at naging anak ni Fares si Esrom; at naging anak ni Esrom si Aram;

4 At naging anak ni Aram si Aminadab; at naging anak ni Aminadab si Naason; at naging anak ni Naason si Salmon;

5 At naging anak ni Salmon kay Rahab si Booz; at naging anak ni Booz kay Rut si Obed; at naging anak ni Obed si Jesse.

6 At naging anak ni Jesse ang haring si David; at naging anak ni David si Salomon, doon sa naging asawa ni Urias;

7 At naging anak ni Salomon si Reboam; at naging anak ni Reboam si Abias; at naging anak ni Abias si Asa;

8 At naging anak ni Asa si Josafat; at naging anak ni Josafat si Joram; at naging anak ni Joram si Ozias;

9 At naging anak ni Ozias si Joatam; at naging anak ni Joatam si Acaz; at naging anak ni Acaz si Ezequias;

10 At naging anak ni Ezequias si Manases; at naging anak ni Manases si Amon; at naging anak ni Amon si Josias;

11 At naging anak ni Josias si Jeconias at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, nang panahon ng pagkadalang-bihag sa Babilonia.

12 At pagkatapos nang pagkadalangbihag sa Babilonia, ay naging anak ni Jeconias si Salatiel; at naging anak ni Salatiel si Zorobabel;

13 At naging anak ni Zorobabel si Abiud; at naging anak ni Abiud si Eliaquim; at naging anak ni Eliaquim si Azor;

14 At naging anak ni Azor si Sadoc; at naging anak ni Sadoc si Aquim; at naging anak ni Aquim si Eliud;

15 At naging anak ni Eliud si Eleazar; at naging anak ni Eleazar si Matan; at naging anak ni Matan si Jacob;

16 At naging anak ni Jacob si Jose asawa ni Maria, na siyang nanganak kay Jesus, na siyang tinatawag na Cristo.

17 Sa makatuwid ang lahat ng mga salit-saling lahi buhat kay Abraham hanggang kay David ay labingapat na salit-saling lahi; at buhat kay David hanggang sa pagdalang-bihag sa Babilonia ay labingapat na sali't-saling lahi; at buhat sa pagkadalang-bihag sa Babilonia hanggang kay Cristo ay labingapat na sali't-saling lahi.

18 Ang pagkapanganak nga kay Jesucristo ay ganito: Nang si Maria na kaniyang ina ay magaasawa kay Jose, bago sila magsama ay nasumpungang siya'y nagdadalang-tao sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo.

19 At si Jose na kaniyang asawa, palibhasa'y lalaking matuwid, at ayaw na ihayag sa madla ang kaniyang kapurihan, ay nagpasiyang hiwalayan siya ng lihim.

20 Datapuwa't samantalang pinagiisip niya ito, narito, ang isang anghel ng Panginoon ay napakita sa kaniya sa panaginip, na nagsasabi: Jose, anak ni David, huwag kang mangamba sa pagtanggap kay Maria na iyong asawa: sapagka't ang kaniyang dinadalang-tao ay sa Espiritu Santo.

21 At siya'y manganganak ng isang lalake; at ang pangalang itatawag mo sa kaniya'y JESUS; sapagka't ililigtas niya ang kaniyang bayan sa kanilang mga kasalanan.

22 At nangyari nga ang lahat ng ito, upang maganap ang sinalita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng propeta, na nagsasabi,

23 Narito, ang dalaga'y magdadalang-tao at manganganak ng isang lalake, At ang pangalang itatawag nila sa kaniya ay Emmanuel; na kung liliwanagin, ay sumasa atin ang Dios.

24 At nagbangon si Jose sa kaniyang pagkakatulog, at ginawa niya ang ayon sa ipinagutos sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, at tinanggap ang kaniyang asawa;

25 At hindi nakilala siya hanggang sa maipanganak ang isang lalake: at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang JESUS.

29. The Lord Made His Humanity Divine from the Divine in Him, and So Was United with the Father

The doctrine of the church, accepted throughout the Christian world, is this:

...our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.... But although He is God and man, still there are not two Christs but one, being one because the Divine took to Himself a humanity; yet still completely one, for...He is one person. For as soul and body form one person, so God and man are one Christ....

These words are taken from the doctrine of the Athanasian Creed, which has been accepted throughout the Christian world. They constitute the essential teaching there regarding the union of the Divine and human in the Lord. Everything else said in this same doctrine regarding the Lord — this we will explain in its own section.

It is apparent, clearly, from the above citation, that it accords with the Creed of the Christian Church to say that the Divine and the human in the Lord are not two entities but one, as soul and body are one person; and that it was the Divine in Him that took on the human.

[2] It follows from this that the Divine cannot be separated from the human, nor the human from the Divine, as separating them would be like separating soul and body.

The reality of this is something everyone acknowledges who reads what we have cited above in nos. 19 and 21 from the two Gospels that tell of the Lord’s birth, namely from Luke 1:26-35 and from Matthew 1:18-25. These descriptions make clear that Jesus was conceived of Jehovah God and born from the virgin Mary, thus that the Divine was present in Him and was His soul.

Now because His soul was the Divinity itself of the Father, it follows that His body or humanity became also Divine; for when one element is Divine, the other must be also.

In this way and no other are the Father and Son one — the Father being in the Son, and the Son in the Father —and all things of the Son are the Father’s, and all things of the Father are the Son’s, as the Lord Himself teaches in His Word.

[3] But how the union was formed — this we will tell point by point as follows:

1. The Lord from eternity is Jehovah.

2. The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, assumed a humanity in order to save mankind.

3. He made His humanity Divine from the Divinity in Him.

4. He made His humanity Divine through temptations or trials that He underwent.

5. The complete union of the Divine and the human in Him was achieved by His suffering of the cross, which was the last of those temptations or trials.

6. He gradually put off the humanity received from the mother and put on a humanity from the Divinity in Him, which is the Divine humanity and the Son of God.

7. Thus God became human in final elements as well as in first ones.
