Mateo 14

Studie

   

1 Nang panahong yao'y narinig ni Herodes na tetrarka ang balita tungkol kay Jesus,

2 At sinabi sa kaniyang mga tagapaglingkod, Ito'y si Juan Bautista; siya'y muling nagbangon sa mga patay; kaya't ang mga kapangyarihang ito ay nagsisigawa sa kaniya.

3 Sapagka't hinuli ni Herodes si Juan, at siya'y iginapos, at inilagay sa bilangguan dahil kay Herodias, na asawa ni Felipe na kaniyang kapatid.

4 Sapagka't sinabi ni Juan sa kaniya, Hindi matuwid sa iyo na aariin mo siya.

5 At nang ibig niyang ipapatay siya, ay natakot siya sa karamihan, sapagka't siya'y kanilang ibinibilang na propeta.

6 Datapuwa't nang dumating ang araw na kapanganakan kay Herodes, ay sumayaw sa gitna ang anak na babae ni Herodias, at kinalugdan ni Herodes.

7 Dahil dito'y kaniyang ipinangakong may sumpa na sa kaniya'y ibibigay ang anomang hingin niya.

8 At siya, na inudyukan ng kaniyang ina, ay nagsabi, Ibigay mo sa akin dito na nasa isang pinggan ang ulo ni Juan Bautista.

9 At namanglaw ang hari; datapuwa't dahil sa kaniyang mga sumpa, at sa nangakaupong kasalo niya sa dulang, ay ipinagutos niyang ibigay na sa kaniya;

10 At nagutos siya at pinugutan ng ulo si Juan sa bilangguan.

11 At dinala ang kaniyang ulo na nasa isang pinggan, at ibinigay sa dalaga: at dinala nito sa kaniyang ina.

12 At ang kaniyang mga alagad ay nagsiparoon, at kanilang binuhat ang bangkay, at kanilang inilibing; at sila'y nagsialis at isinaysay kay Jesus.

13 Nang marinig nga ito ni Jesus, ay lumigpit sila mula roon, sa isang daong na nasa isang dakong ilang na bukod: at nang mabalitaan ito ng mga karamihan, ay nangaglakad sila na sumunod sa kaniya mula sa mga bayan.

14 At siya'y lumabas, at nakita ang isang malaking karamihan, at nahabag siya sa kanila, at pinagaling niya ang sa kanila'y mga may sakit.

15 At nang nagtatakipsilim na, ay nagsilapit sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga alagad, na nangagsasabi, Ilang ang dakong ito, at lampas na sa panahon; paalisin mo na ang mga karamihan, upang sila'y magsiparoon sa mga nayon, at sila'y mangakabili ng kanilang makakain.

16 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Hindi kailangang sila'y magsialis; bigyan ninyo sila ng makakain.

17 At sinasabi nila sa kaniya, Wala tayo rito kundi limang tinapay at dalawang isda.

18 At sinabi niya, Dalhin ninyo rito sa akin.

19 At ipinagutos niya sa mga karamihan na sila'y magsiupo sa damuhan; at kinuha niya ang limang tinapay at ang dalawang isda, at pagtingala sa langit, ay kaniyang pinagpala, at pinagputolputol at ibinigay ang mga tinapay sa mga alagad, at ibinigay naman ng mga alagad sa mga karamihan.

20 At nagsikain silang lahat, at nangabusog: at kanilang pinulot ang lumabis na pinagputolputol, na labingdalawang bakol na puno.

21 At ang mga nagsikain ay may limang libong lalake, bukod pa ang mga babae at ang mga bata.

22 At pagdaka'y pinapagmadali niya ang kaniyang mga alagad na magsilulan sa daong, at magsiuna sa kaniya sa kabilang ibayo, hanggang pinayayaon niya ang mga karamihan.

23 At pagkatapos na mapayaon niya ang mga karamihan, ay umahon siyang bukod sa bundok upang manalangin: at nang gumabi na, ay siya'y nagiisa doon.

24 Datapuwa't ang daong ay nasa gitna na ng dagat, na hinahampas ng mga alon; sapagka't pasalungat sa hangin.

25 At sa ikaapat na pagpupuyat ng gabi ay naparoon siya sa kanila, na lumalakad sa ibabaw ng dagat.

26 At nang makita siya ng mga alagad na lumalakad sa ibabaw ng dagat, ay nangagulumihanan sila, na nangagsasabi, Multo! at sila'y nagsisigaw dahil sa takot.

27 Datapuwa't pagdaka'y nagsalita sa kanila si Jesus, na nagsasabi, Laksan ninyo ang inyong loob; ako nga: huwag kayong mangatakot.

28 At sumagot sa kaniya si Pedro, at nagsabi, Panginoon, kung ikaw nga, ay papariyanin mo ako sa iyo sa ibabaw ng tubig.

29 At sinabi niya, Halika. At lumunsad si Pedro sa daong, at lumakad sa ibabaw ng tubig upang pumaroon kay Jesus.

30 Datapuwa't pagkakita niyang malakas ang hangin, ay natakot siya, at nang siya'y malulubog, ay sumigaw, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, iligtas mo ako.

31 At pagdaka'y iniunat ni Jesus ang kaniyang kamay at hinawakan siya, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Oh ikaw na kakaunti ang pananampalataya, bakit ka nagalinglangan?

32 At pagkalulan nila sa daong, ay humimpil ang hangin.

33 At ang mga nasa daong ay nagsisamba sa kaniya, na nangagsasabi, Tunay na ikaw ang Anak ng Dios.

34 At nang makatawid na sila, ay narating nila ang lupa ng Genezaret.

35 At nang siya'y makilala ng mga tao sa dakong yaon, ay nangagpabalita sila sa palibotlibot ng buong lupaing yaon, at sa kaniya'y dinala ang lahat ng mga may sakit;

36 At ipinamamanhik nila sa kaniya na ipahipo man lamang sa kanila ang laylayan ng kaniyang damit: at ang lahat ng nangagsihipo ay pawang nagsigaling.

9416. 'And I will give you tablets of stone' means the book of the law, or the Word in its entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'tablets' as objects on which matters of doctrine and life have been inscribed, in this instance matters of heavenly doctrine and of life in keeping with it. The reason why those tablets mean the book of the law or the Word in its entirety is that the things which had been inscribed on them contained in a general way all matters of life and of that heavenly doctrine. This also explains why the things inscribed on them are called the ten words, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4. For 'ten' in the internal sense means all, and 'words' means truths that are matters of doctrine and forms of good that are matters of life. For the meaning of 'ten' as all, see 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540, and for that of 'words' as truths and forms of good that are matters of life and doctrine, 1288, 4692, 5272. This is why those tablets mean the Word in its entirety, just as the Law does, which in a restricted sense means the things which had been inscribed on those tablets, in a less restricted sense the Word that was written through Moses, in a broad sense the historical section of the Word, and in the broadest sense the Word in its entirety, see what has been shown in 6752. Furthermore the things which had been inscribed on those tablets belonged to the first stage in the revelation of Divine Truth; they were also declared in actual words uttered by the Lord before all the Israelite people. What belongs to the first stage means all the rest in their proper order; and the fact that those things were declared in actual words uttered by the Lord means direct Divine inspiration in all other stages of revelation as well. The reason why those tablets were made of stone was that 'stone' means truth, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, the lowest levels of truth, to be exact, 8609. The lowest levels of God's truth constitute the letter of the Word as it exists on this planet, 9360.

[2] There was not one tablet but two, to represent the joining of the Lord to the Church through the Word, and through the Church to the human race. This also is why they are called the tablets of the covenant, Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15, and why the words inscribed on them are called the words of the covenant, Exodus 34:27-28, also the covenant, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23. And the ark itself in which the tablets had been deposited was called the ark of the covenant, Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Joshua 3:3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16. For a covenant is a joining together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396. This explains why those tablets were divided from each other yet were joined together by being laid alongside each other. The writing on them ran across continuously from one tablet onto the other, like the writing on a single tablet. It was not, as people ordinarily think, that some commandments were written on one tablet and some on the other. For a single object divided in two, and the two parts then brought together or given each to the other, means the Lord and man joined together. The establishment of covenants was therefore accomplished in similar ways, that with Abraham for example by parting down the middle a heifer, she-goat, and ram, and laying each part opposite the other, Genesis 15:9-12; in verses 6 and 8 of the present chapter by putting blood in bowls and then sprinkling it half over the altar and half over the people; and generally in all sacrifices by burning one part on the altar and giving the other part to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the Lord when He broke bread, Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30-31, 35. Here also is the reason why 'two' in the Word means things joined together, 5194, 8423, here the Lord and heaven, or the Lord and the Church, joined together, thus also goodness and truth joined together, which is called the heavenly marriage. From all this it becomes clear why it is that there were two tablets and that both sides of them were written on, from edge to edge, Exodus 32:15-16.

[3] Furthermore when the writing and engraving on tablets is mentioned in the Word it means those things that must be imprinted in people's memory and on their life, and so remain there, as in Isaiah,

Write it on a tablet among them, and express it in a book, 1 so that it may be for time to come forever, even to eternity. Isaiah 30:8.

In Jeremiah,

The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it has been engraved on the tablet of their heart, and at the horns of your altars. Jeremiah 17:1.

In Habakkuk,

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that one running by may read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; if it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come. Habakkuk 2:2-3.
