Mateo 9

Studie

   

1 At lumulan siya sa isang daong, at tumawid, at dumating sa kaniyang sariling bayan.

2 At narito, dinala nila sa kaniya ang isang lumpo, na nakahiga sa isang higaan: at nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, ay sinabi sa lumpo, Anak, laksan mo ang iyong loob; ang iyong mga kasalanan ay ipinatatawad na.

3 At narito, ang ilan sa mga eskriba ay nangagsabi sa kanilang sarili, Ang taong ito'y namumusong.

4 At pagkaunawa ni Jesus ng kanilang mga kaisipan, ay sinabi, Bakit nangagiisip kayo ng masama sa inyong mga puso?

5 Sapagka't alin baga ang lalong magaang sabihin, Ipinatatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan; o sabihin, Magtindig ka, at lumakad ka?

6 Datapuwa't upang maalaman ninyo na ang Anak ng tao'y may kapamahalaan sa lupa na magpatawad ng mga kasalanan (sinabi nga niya sa lumpo), Magtindig ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at umuwi ka sa iyong bahay.

7 At nagtindig siya, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.

8 Datapuwa't nang makita ito ng karamihan, ay nangatakot sila, at kanilang niluwalhati ang Dios, na nagbigay ng gayong kapamahalaan sa mga tao.

9 At pagdaraan doon ni Jesus, ay nakita niya ang isang tao, na kung tawagi'y Mateo, na nakaupo sa paningilan ng buwis: at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sumunod ka sa akin. At siya'y nagtindig, at sumunod sa kaniya.

10 At nangyari, na nang nakaupo siya sa pagkain sa bahay, narito, ang maraming maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan ay nagsirating at nagsiupong kasalo ni Jesus at ng kaniyang mga alagad.

11 At nang makita ito ng mga Fariseo, ay sinabi nila sa kaniyang mga alagad, Bakit sumasalo ang inyong Guro sa mga maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan?

12 Datapuwa't nang ito'y marinig niya, ay kaniyang sinabi, Ang mga walang sakit ay hindi nangangailangan ng manggagamot, kundi ang mga may sakit.

13 Datapuwa't magsihayo kayo at inyong pagaralan kung ano ang kahulugan nito, Habag ang ibig ko, at hindi hain: sapagka't hindi ako naparito upang tumawag ng mga matuwid, kundi ng mga makasalanan.

14 Nang magkagayo'y nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga alagad ni Juan, na nangagsabi, Bakit kami at ang mga Fariseo ay nangagaayunong madalas, datapuwa't hindi nangagaayuno ang mga alagad mo?

15 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Mangyayari bagang mangagluksa ang mga abay sa kasalan, samantalang ang kasintahang lalake ay kasama nila? datapuwa't darating ang mga araw, na ang kasintahang lalake ay aalisin sa kanila, at kung magkagayo'y mangagaayuno sila.

16 At sinoma'y hindi nagtatagpi ng bagong kayo sa damit na luma; sapagka't ang tagpi ay bumabatak sa damit, at lalong lumalala ang punit.

17 Hindi rin nagsisilid ng bagong alak sa mga balat na luma: sa ibang paraan ay nangagpuputok ang mga balat, at nangabububo ang alak, at nangasisira ang mga balat: kundi isinisilid ang bagong alak sa mga bagong balat, at kapuwa nagsisitagal.

18 Samantalang sinasalita niya ang mga bagay na ito sa kanila, narito, dumating ang isang pinuno, at siya'y sinamba, na nagsasabi, Kamamatay pa lamang ng aking anak na babae: datapuwa't halina at ipatong mo ang iyong kamay sa kaniya, at siya'y mabubuhay.

19 At si Jesus ay nagtindig, at sumama sa kaniya, pati ng kaniyang mga alagad.

20 At narito, isang babaing inaagasang may labingdalawang taon na, ay lumapit sa kaniyang likuran, at hinipo ang laylayan ng kaniyang damit:

21 Sapagka't sinabi niya sa kaniyang kalooban, Kung mahipo ko man lamang ang kaniyang damit, ay gagaling ako.

22 Datapuwa't paglingon ni Jesus at pagkakita sa kaniya, ay sinabi, Anak, laksan mo ang iyong loob; pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya. At gumaling ang babae mula sa oras na yaon.

23 At nang pumasok si Jesus sa bahay ng pinuno, at makita ang mga tumutugtog ng mga plauta, at ang mga taong nangagkakagulo,

24 Ay sinabi niya, Magparaan kayo: sapagka't hindi patay ang dalaga, kundi natutulog. At tinawanan nila siya na nililibak.

25 Datapuwa't nang mapalabas na ang mga tao, ay pumasok siya, at tinangnan niya siya sa kamay; at nagbangon ang dalaga.

26 At kumalat ang pagkabantog na ito sa buong lupang yaon.

27 At pagkaraan doon ni Jesus ay sinundan siya ng dalawang lalaking bulag, na nangagsisisigaw, at nangagsasabi, Mahabag ka sa amin, ikaw na Anak ni David.

28 At nang pumasok siya sa bahay, ay nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga lalaking bulag: at sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Nagsisisampalataya baga kayo na magagawa ko ito? Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Oo, Panginoon.

29 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang hinipo ang mga mata nila, na sinasabi, Alinsunod sa inyong pananampalataya ay siyang mangyari sa inyo.

30 At nangadilat ang kanilang mga mata. At mahigpit na ipinagbilin ni Jesus sa kanila, na sinasabi, Ingatan ninyong sinoma'y huwag makaalam nito.

31 Datapuwa't sila'y nagsialis, at kanilang inilathala ang kaniyang kabantugan sa buong lupang yaon.

32 At samantalang sila'y nagsisialis, narito, sa kaniya'y dinala ang isang lalaking pipi na inaalihan ng demonio.

33 At nang mapalabas ang demonio, ay nagsalita ang lalaking pipi: at nangagtaka ang mga karamihan, na nangagsasabi, Kailan ma'y hindi nakita sa Israel ang ganito.

34 Datapuwa't sinabi ng mga Fariseo, sa pamamagitan ng prinsipe ng mga demonio ay nagpapalabas siya ng mga demonio.

35 At nililibot ni Jesus ang lahat ng mga bayan at mga nayon, na nagtuturo sa mga sinagoga nila, at ipinangangaral ang evangelio ng kaharian, at pinagagaling ang sarisaring sakit at ang sarisaring karamdaman.

36 Datapuwa't nang makita niya ang mga karamihan, ay nahabag siya sa kanila, sapagka't pawang nangahahapis at nangangalat, na gaya ng mga tupa na walang pastor.

37 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, Katotohana'y ang aanihin ay marami, datapuwa't kakaunti ang mga manggagawa.

38 Idalangin nga ninyo sa Panginoon ng aanihin, na magpadala siya ng mga manggagawa sa kaniyang aanihin.

10083. 'And you shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah' means the life from God which comes as a result of this. This is clear from the meaning of 'waving a wave offering' as endowing with life, thus the life [present in something]; and since it says from 'before Jehovah' the life from God is meant. The fact that 'waving a wave offering' means endowing with life, that is, imparting the life from God, is clear from places in the Word where 'waving a wave offering' is spoken of, as in Moses,

When you bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, so that you may be acceptable; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. Leviticus 23:10-11.

'Harvest' means a state when the truth of faith springing from good exists, thus a state when good is present, 9295; 'a sheaf of the firstfruits' means all collectively constituting that state. 'Being waved by the priest' therefore means being endowed with life to receive a blessing; for every blessing, to be a blessing, must have life from God within it.

[2] In the same author,

Aaron shall wave the Levites before Jehovah as a wave offering 1 from among the children of Israel, that they may be used in the service of Jehovah. You shall stand the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering to Jehovah. After that the Levites shall go in to serve in the tent of meeting; and you shall purify them, and wave them as a wave offering. And when the Levites had been purified, Aaron waved them before Jehovah as a wave offering, and Aaron expiated them to purify them. Numbers 8:11, 13, 15, 21.

These verses show what 'waving a wave offering' means, namely endowing with life through acknowledgement, which is the first phase of faith, and so the first phase of life from God with a person. Knowledge, it is true, comes before acknowledgement, but knowledge has none of God's life within it until it becomes acknowledgement and then faith. The Levites represented truths serving good, while Aaron represented the good they served; that is why they were 'waved', that is, were endowed with life. This also accounts for its being said that they were to be purified. For truths must have life from God within them if they are to serve good, and that life first flows in through acknowledgement.

[3] Much the same is meant by 'a wave offering of gold' in Moses,

They came, the men with the women ... they brought brooches, nose-jewels, rings, girdles 2 , all vessels of gold; and every man who waved a wave offering of gold to Jehovah. Exodus 35:22.

'Waving a wave offering of gold to Jehovah' means endowing with life through the acknowledgement that it was Jehovah's, that is, the Lord's. 'Waving a wave offering' means such things by virtue of what that action corresponds to; for every motion corresponds to a state of thought. In the Word therefore advancing, travelling on, and like movements mean states of life, see 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8103, 8417, 8420, 8557.

[4] In John,

At the pool of Bethesda lay a large multitude of sick people; and an angel went down at a certain time to the pool and stirred up the water. Then whoever stepped in first after the movement of the water was cured of whatever disease he had. John 5:2-7.

'Stirring up the water' here was in like manner a sign of the endowment of life through acknowledgement and faith, and therefore also a sign of purification by means of truths.

'Movement' means states of life, see 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381, 9440, 9967.

'Water' means the truths of faith, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 8568, 9323.

All purification is accomplished by means of the truths of faith, 2799, 5954 (end), 7044, 7918, 9088.

Healings represented the restoration of spiritual life, 8365, 9031 (end).

[5] Since 'the waving on Aaron's palms' means the endowment of life through acknowledgement of the Lord and the acknowledgement that all things come from Him, something brief must be stated with regard to that acknowledgement and resulting faith. The Lord often said, when sick people were being healed, that they should have faith, and, 'Let it be to you according to your faith', as in Matthew 8:10-13; 9:2, 22, 27-29; 13:57-58; 15:28; 21:21-22, 31-32; Mark 5:34, 36; 10:49, 52; 16:16; Luke 7:9, 48-50; 8:48; 17:19; 18:42-43. The reason why He said it was that the very first thing a person needs to do is to acknowledge that the Lord is the Saviour of the world; for unless he acknowledges this no one can receive any truth or good at all from heaven, or therefore receive faith from there. And since it was the very first and most essential thing, therefore in order that He might be acknowledged when He came into the world the Lord questioned the sick, when He healed them, about their faith; and those who had faith were healed. This faith was that He was the Son of God who was to come into the world, and that He had power to heal and save. Furthermore every healing of sickness by the Lord when He was in the world served to mean a healing of spiritual life, thus served to mean the things that belong to salvation, 8364, 9031(end), 9086.

[6] Since acknowledgement of the Lord is the first thing of all belonging to spiritual life and is the most essential feature of the Church, and since no one, unless he acknowledges Him, can receive any truth of faith or good of love at all from heaven, the Lord also often says that whoever believes in Him has eternal life, and whoever does not believe in Him does not have it, as in John 1:1, 4, 12-13; 3:14-16, 36; 5:39-40; 6:28-30, 33-35, 40, 47-48; 7:37-38; 8:24; 11:25-26; 20:30-31. But at the same time He also teaches that they have faith in Him who live according to His commandments, so that the life which results from doing so goes to compose their faith. These things have been stated to cast light on and corroborate the truth that acknowledging the Lord and acknowledging that all salvation comes from Him constitute the beginning of the life from God with a person. That beginning of it is meant by the offering waved on Aaron's palms.
