Marks 4

1 Un Viņš atkal sāka mācīt pie jūras; un daudz ļaužu pulcējās pie Viņa, tā ka Viņš, iekāpis laivā, sēdēja uz jūras; un visi ļaudis bija uz zemes pie jūras.

2 Un Viņš tos daudz mācīja līdzībās; un savā mācībā sacīja tiem:

3 Klausieties: lūk, sējējs izgāja sēt.

4 Un sēkla, viņam sējot, krita ceļmalā; un debess putni nāca un to apēda.

5 Cita krita akmenājā, kur tai nebija daudz zemes; un tā tūliņ uzdīga, tāpēc, ka nebija dziļi zemē.

6 Un kad uzlēca saule, tā novīta un nokalta, tāpēc, ka tai nebija saknes.

7 Un cita krita starp ērkšķiem; un ērkšķi uzauga un nomāca to, un tā nenesa augļus.

8 Un cita krita labā zemē, tā uzdīga un auga, un nesa augļus; un cita nesa trīsdesmitkārtīgi, cita sešdesmitkārtīgi un cita simtkārtīgi.

9 Un Viņš sacīja: Kam ir ausis dzirdēšanai, lai dzird!

10 Un kad Viņš bija viens pats, tie divpadsmit, kas ar Viņu bija, jautāja par līdzību.

11 Un Viņš tiem sacīja: Jums ir dots saprast Dieva valstības noslēpumus, bet tiem, kas ir ārā, tas viss notiek līdzībās,

12 Ka tie skatīdamies skatās, bet neredz, un klausīdamies dzird, bet nesaprot, ka tie neatgriežas, un grēki tiem netiek piedoti. (Is. 6,9; Mt.13,14; Jņ.12,40; Apd.28,26; om.11,8)

13 Un Viņš tiem sacīja: Jūs nesaprotat šo līdzību? Kā tad jūs sapratīsiet visas līdzības?

14 Tas, kas sēj, sēj vārdu.

15 Bet šie, kas ceļmalā, kur vārds top sēts, ir tie, kas dzirdējuši, bet tūdaļ nāk sātans un atņem viņu sirdīs sēto vārdu.

16 Un tāpat tie, kas akmenājā sēti; viņi, kad vārdu dzird, tūdaļ to priecīgi pieņem.

17 Bet tiem nav saknes sevī: viņi ir nepastāvīgi; tiklīdz rodas apspiešanas un vajāšanas vārda dēļ, tie tūdaļ krīt apgrēcībā.

18 Bet citi, kas starp ērkšķiem sēti, tie ir tie, kas vārdu uzklausa,

19 Bet pasaules rūpes un bagātības, viltus un citas kārības, ieejot tanī, nomāc vārdu, un tas paliek neauglīgs.

20 Un labajā zemē sētie ir tie, kas vārdu dzird un to uzņem, un nes augļus: cits trīsdesmitkārtīgus, cits sešdesmitkārtīgus, cits simtkārtīgus.

21 Un Viņš sacīja tiem: Vai tad gaismu meklē, lai to liktu zem pūra vai zem gultas? Vai ne tāpēc, lai to liktu svečturī?

22 Jo nekas nepaliek apslēpts, kas nenāktu gaismā; un nekas nenotiek slepenībā, kas netaptu zināms.

23 Kam ir ausis dzirdēšanai, lai dzird!

24 Un Viņš tiem sacīja: Lieciet vērā, ko jūs dzirdat! Ar kādu mēru jūs mērīsiet, ar tādu jums atmērīs un vēl klāt pieliks.

25 Jo kam ir, tam tiks dots; un kam nav, arī tas, kas viņam ir, tiks no tā atņemts.

26 Un Viņš sacīja: Ar Dieva valstību ir tāpat, kā cilvēks sēklu iesēj zemē.

27 Vai nu viņš guļ, vai ceļas naktī, vai dienā, sēkla dīgst un aug, tam nezinot.

28 Jo zeme nes augļus: vispirms stiebru, tad vārpu, beigās pilnu vārpu graudiem.

29 Un kad augļi ienākušies, tad viņš tūdaļ lieto sirpi, jo pļaujamais laiks ir klāt.

30 Un Viņš sacīja: Kam mēs pielīdzināsim Dieva valstību? Vai kādā līdzībā mēs to attēlosim?

31 Viņa ir kā sinepju grauds, kas iesēts zemē, kurš ir mazākais no visām sēklām, kas ir virs zemes;

32 Un kad tas ir iesēts, tas aug un kļūst lielāks par visiem stādiem; un tas laiž lielus zarus, tā ka debesu putni var dzīvot tā pavēnī.

33 Un daudzās tādās līdzībās Viņš runāja tiem vārdu, tā ka tie spēja to saprast.

34 Bet bez līdzībām Viņš tiem nerunāja, bet saviem mācekļiem Viņš atsevišķi izskaidroja visu.

35 Un tanī pat dienā, kad vakars bija iestājies, Viņš tiem sacīja: Pārcelsimies pretējā krastā!

36 Un tie, ļaudis atlaiduši, tā ka Viņš bija laivā, ņēma Viņu līdz, arī citas laivas bija pie Viņa.

37 Un sacēlās liela vētra, un gāza viļņus laivā, tā ka laiva pildījās.

38 Bet Viņš gulēja laivas galā uz spilvena; un tie modināja Viņu un sacīja Viņam: Mācītāj, vai Tev nerūp, ka mēs ejam bojā?

39 Un uzcēlies, Viņš piedraudēja vējam un sacīja jūrai: Paliec klusu, nomierinies! Un vējš nostājās, un iestājās liels klusums.

40 Un Viņš tiem sacīja: Kāpēc jūs esat tik bailīgi? Vai jums vēl trūkst ticības? Un viņi ļoti izbijās un jautāja viens otram: Kā tev šķiet, kas Viņš ir, ka Viņam vēji un jūra paklausa?

10155. 'And they will recognize that I am Jehovah their God' means perception that the Lord is the source of all good and all truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'recognizing' as understanding, believing, and perceiving, dealt with below. The reason why perceiving that the Lord is the source of all good and all truth is meant is that the names Jehovah and God are used, and the Lord is called Jehovah by virtue of good and God by virtue of truth, see 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921, 4287, 4402, 7010, 9167.

The reason why 'recognizing' means understanding, believing, and perceiving is that the word is used in reference both to the human power of understanding and to the power of will. When used in reference solely to the power of understanding it means understanding; when used in reference to the understanding and at the same time the will it means believing; and when used in reference solely to the will it means perceiving. With those therefore who merely know of something and as a result think about it, recognizing implies understanding. But with those who possess faith, recognizing implies believing, and with those who have love, recognizing implies perceiving.

[2] When however recognizing is coupled with understanding, seeing, or believing, 'recognizing' means perceiving; for understanding, seeing, and believing are connected with the understanding, consequently with truth, whereas perceiving is connected with the will, consequently with good, as in John,

Peter said, We have believed and recognized that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. John 6:69.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, Believe the works, that you may recognize and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. John 10:38.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, If you recognize Me you recognize My Father, and from now on you recognize Him and have seen Him. John 14:7.

In the same gospel,

The Spirit of truth will be sent, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor recognizes Him. But you recognize Him, because He remains with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17.

In Mark,

Jesus spoke in parables, so that seeing they may see and not recognize. Mark 4:11-12.

In Jeremiah,

... that you may recognize and see that it is evil and bitter to depart from Jehovah your God. Jeremiah 2:19.

In the same prophet,

Let him who glories glory in this, to understand and to recognize Me, that I am Jehovah. Jeremiah 9:24.

In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me in faith, and you will recognize Jehovah. Hosea 2:20.

[3] In these places 'recognizing' means perceiving, and perceiving comes about as a result of good, whereas understanding and seeing come about as a result of truth. For inwardly within themselves those in whom good or love is predominant perceive that something is so, whereas within themselves those in whom truth or faith is predominant see that it is such. Therefore perception that something is so exists among those who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom, but belief that it is so among those who are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom, see the places referred to in 9277, and what has been stated in 9992, 9995, 10105. And what perception is, see 125, 371, 483, 495, 503, 521, 536, 597, 607, 1121, 1384, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 2144, 2515, 2831, 3528, 5121, 5145, 5227, 7680, 7977, 8780.

[4] In addition, since the proper meaning of 'recognizing' is perceiving as a result of good, reference is made in Deuteronomy 8:5 to recognizing from the heart; for 'from the heart' means from the good of love, 3883-3896, 7542, 9050, 9300, 9495. Therefore also doing good is referred to as recognizing Jehovah, Jeremiah 22:16.

From all this it is evident that 'they will recognize that I am Jehovah their God' means perception that the Lord is the source of all goodness and truth.

6827. 'And Moses was feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian' means that the law from God instructed those who were guided by the truth that went with simple good, 'the priest of Midian' being the good of the Church where those people were. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the Lord in respect of the law of God, dealt with in 6752 (initially 'Moses' represented the Lord in respect of the truth that the law from God possessed, 6771, but here he represents Him in respect of that law itself - one is allowed to speak in this way of stages of development that took place in the Lord before He became the law of God itself in respect of His Human. The whole of the Word deals in its inmost or highest sense solely with the Lord and the glorification of His Human; but since that inmost or highest sense goes far beyond human understanding, let it be the internal sense of the Word that is explained here, the sense in which the subject is the Lord's kingdom, the Church and the establishment of it, and also the regeneration by the Lord of members of the Church. These are the subject in the internal sense because human regeneration is an image representative of the Lord's glorification, see 3138, 3212, 3245, 3246, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688);

[2] from the meaning of 'feeding' as instructing, dealt with in 3795, 5201; from the meaning of 'the flock' as one who learns and is led by means of truth to the good of charity, dealt with in 343, so that in a general sense 'the flock' is the Church, 3767, 3768, here the Church where those people are who are guided by the truth that goes with simple good, who are meant by 'Midian', 3242, 4756; from the meaning of 'father-in-law' as the good from which, as from a father, sprang the good that was joined to truth, here the truth that the law from God possessed, which 'Moses' represents, see 6793 ('Jethro' being the essential nature of that good); and from the meaning of' the priest of Midian' as the good of the Church where those who were guided by the truth that went with simple good were, dealt with in 6775. From all this it is evident that 'Moses was feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian' means that the law from God instructed those who were guided by the truth that went with simple good, and that 'the priest of Midian' is the good of the Church where those people were.
