1 Tanī laikā Jēzus gāja sabatā caur druvu. Viņa mācekļi, būdami izsalkuši, sāka raut vārpas un ēst.

2 Farizeji, to redzēdami, sacīja Viņam: Lūk, Tavi mācekļi dara to, ko sabatā nepienākas darīt!

3 Bet Viņš sacīja tiem: Vai jūs neesat lasījuši, ko darīja Dāvids un tie, kas bija ar viņu, kad tas bija izsalcis?

4 Kā viņš iegāja Dieva namā un ēda upura maizi, kuru viņam un arī tiem, kas ar viņu bija, ēst nepienācās, bet tikai vienīgi priesteriem?

5 Vai, atkal, jūs nelasījāt bauslībā, ka priesteri svētnīcā sabatā lauž sabata mieru un ir bezvainīgi?

6 Bet es jums saku: šeit ir lielāks nekā svētnīca.

7 Ja jūs saprastu, ko tas nozīmē: es vēlos žēlsirdību, bet ne upuri, tad jūs nekad nepazudinātu nevainīgos;

8 Jo Cilvēka Dēls ir arī sabata kungs.

9 Un Viņš aizgāja no turienes un iegāja viņu sinagogā.

10 Un, lūk, tur bija cilvēks ar nokaltušu roku. Lai Viņu apvainotu, tie jautāja Viņam, sacīdami: Vai sabatā atļauts dziedināt?

11 Bet Viņš sacīja tiem: Kurš cilvēks no jums, kam viena avs un tā sabatā iekrīt bedrē, neņemtu un neizvilktu to?

12 Cilvēks ir daudz labāks par avi. Tāpēc arī atļauts sabatā labu darīt.

13 Tad Viņš sacīja cilvēkam: Izstiep savu roku! Un viņš izstiepa; un tā bija kļuvusi vesela kā otra.

14 Bet farizeji, izgājuši ārā, sazvērējās pret Viņu, kā to nogalināt.

15 Jēzus, zinādams to, aizgāja no turienes. Un daudzi sekoja Viņam, un Viņš tos visus izdziedināja.

16 Un Viņš pavēlēja, lai tie Viņu neatklāj,

17 Lai izpildītos pravieša Isaja vārdi, kas saka:

18 Šis ir mans kalps, kuru es izredzēju, mans mīlulis, pie kā manai dvēselei labpatika. Es likšu uz Viņu savu garu, un Viņš pasludinās tautām tiesu.

19 Viņš nenaidosies un netrokšņos, un neviens ielās Viņa balsi nedzirdēs.

20 Viņš ielauztu niedri nenolauzīs un kvēlošu degli neizdzēsīs, kamēr nebūs licis taisnībai uzvarēt.

21 Un Viņa vārds ir tautu cerība.

22 Tad atveda pie Viņa ļaunā gara apsēsto, kas bija akls un mēms; un Viņš to izdziedināja tā, ka tas varēja runāt un redzēt.

23 Un visi ļaudis brīnījās un sacīja: Vai tik Viņš nav Dāvida Dēls?

24 Bet farizeji, to dzirdēdami, sacīja: Viņš neizdzen ļaunos garus citādi kā tikai ar Belcebulu, velnu virsnieku.

25 Jēzus, zinādams viņu domas, tiem sacīja: Ikviena valsts, kura pati sevī sašķēlusies, iznīks; un ikviena pilsēta vai māja, kura pati sevī sašķēlusies, nepastāvēs.

26 Ja nu sātans izdzen sātanu, tad viņš pats sevī sašķēlies: kā tad pastāvēs viņa valsts?

27 Ja tad es ļaunos garus izdzenu ar Belcebulu, ar ko tad izdzen jūsu dēli? Tāpēc viņi būs jūsu tiesātāji.

28 Bet ja es izdzenu sātanus ar Dieva garu, tad pie jums atnākusi Dieva valstība.

29 Un kā var kāds ieiet stipra cilvēka mājā un izlaupīt viņa mantu, ja iepriekš nesasien stipro? Un tad tā māju izlaupīs.

30 Kas nav ar mani, tas ir pret mani; kas ar mani nesakrāj, tas izšķiež.

31 Tāpēc es jums saku: Katrs grēks un zaimi cilvēkiem tiks piedots; bet zaimi pret Garu netiks piedoti.

32 Un ja kāds sacīs vārdu pret Cilvēka Dēlu, tam tiks piedots, bet kas runās pret Svēto Garu, tam netiks piedots ne šinī, ne nākošajā pasaulē.

33 Vai nu jūs koku atzīstat par labu un tā augļus par labiem, vai atzīstat koku par nelabu un tā augļus par nelabiem, jo koku pazīst pēc tā augļiem.

34 Čūsku izdzimums, kā jūs varat runāt labu, būdami ļauni? Jo no sirds pārpilnības runā mute.

35 Labs cilvēks no dārgumu krātuves iznes labu mantu, bet ļauns cilvēks no ļaunumu krātuves iznes ļaunu.

36 Bet es jums saku, ka cilvēki par katru nevajadzīgu vārdu, ko tie izrunā, dos norēķinu tiesas dienā.

37 Jo pēc taviem vārdiem tevi attaisnos un pēc taviem vārdiem tevi pazudinās.

38 Tad daži rakstu mācītāji un farizeji atbildēja Viņam, sacīdami: Mācītāj, mēs vēlamies no Tevis redzēt brīnumu!

39 Viņš atbildēja tiem un sacīja: Ļauna un laulības pārkāpēja cilts meklē zīmi, bet cita zīme netiks dota kā tikai pravieša Jonasa zīme.

40 Kā Jonass trīs dienas un trīs naktis bija lielzivs iekšās, tā Cilvēka Dēls trīs dienas un trīs naktis būs zemes klēpī.

41 Ninīves vīri stāsies tiesā pret šo cilti un notiesās to, jo viņi, Jonasam sludinot, atgriezās no grēkiem. Un, lūk, šeit ir vairāk kā Jonass.

42 Dienvidu ķēniņiene stāsies tiesā pret šo cilti un notiesās to, jo viņa nāca no pasaules malas, lai dzirdētu Salomona gudrību, bet šeit ir vairāk kā Salomons.

43 Kad ļaunais gars iziet no cilvēka, tas klejo, meklēdams mieru, bet neatrod to.

44 Tad viņš saka: Es atgriezīšos savā mājā, no kuras es izgāju. Un atnācis, viņš atrod to neaizņemtu, izslaucītu ar slotu un uzpostu.

45 Tad viņš aiziet un paņem līdz septiņus garus, kas ļaunāki par viņu; un iegājuši tie tur dzīvo; un šī cilvēka pēdējais stāvoklis kļūst ļaunāks nekā pirmais. Tā tas notiks arī šai ļaunajai ciltij.

46 Kamēr Viņš vēl runāja ļaudīm, lūk, Viņa māte un Viņa brāļi stāvēja ārā, vēlēdamies ar Viņu runāt.

47 Kāds Viņam sacīja: Lūk, Tava māte un Tavi brāļi stāv ārā un meklē Tevi.

48 Bet Viņš atbildēja tam, kas Viņam paziņoja, sacīdams: Kas ir mana māte un kas mani brāļi?

49 Un Viņš, izstiepis roku pār saviem mācekļiem, sacīja: Lūk, mana māte un mani brāļi!

50 Jo kas izpilda mana Tēva prātu, kas debesīs, tas ir mans brālis un māsa, un māte.

9012. 'And when a man acts from set purpose against his companion' means prior thought by a wicked will. This is clear from the meaning of 'acting from set purpose' as from prior thought, for one who is set on evil contemplates it before doing it. And since it is evil and he does it, it springs from his will; for doing evil has its origin there. But the falsity which is used to endorse, defend, and so promote that evil belongs to thought, and so comes from a wicked or warped understanding. The fact that a person is guilty when the evil he does springs from both parts of the mind, from the understanding and from the will, see above in 9009.

6767. 'Do you intend to kill me . . .' means, Do you wish to destroy my faith ... This is clear from the meaning of 'killing' as destroying, dealt with below; and from the meaning of a Hebrew man, to whom 'me' refers here, as one who belongs to the Church. Faith too is accordingly meant, for faith goes together with the Church, and the two are so bound up with each other that a person who destroys the faith present with someone destroys the Church with him. This is also 'to kill him', for by taking faith away he takes spiritual life away, the life that remains being a life that is called death. From this it is evident that 'Do you intend to kill me?' means, Do you wish to destroy my faith?

[2] The fact that 'killing' is taking away spiritual life is evident from many places in the Word, as in Jeremiah,

Drag them away like sheep for the slaughter, and destine them to the day of killing. How long will the land mourn and the plant of every field wither, on account of the wickedness of those who dwell in it? The beasts and the birds will be devoured. Jeremiah 12:3-4.

'The day of killing' stands for the time that the Church is laid waste, when there is no longer any faith because there is no charity. 'The land which will mourn' stands for the Church; 'the plant of every field' stands for all the facts known to the Church that hold truth within them; 'the beasts and the birds will be devoured' stands for the fact that forms of good and truths will be destroyed. For the meaning of 'the land' as the Church, see 566, 662, 1067, 1262, 1413, 1607, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 2928, 3755, 4447, 4535, 5577. The meaning of 'the plant' as factual knowledge holding truth within it is clear from places in the Word where plant is mentioned. And for the meaning of 'the field' as that which is of the Church, see 2971, 3710, 3766, of 'the beasts' as affections for good, thus forms of good, 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 1823, 2179, 2180, 3218, 3519, 5198, and of 'the birds' as affections for truth, 5149. From all this one may recognize what the meaning of these words is, and also that the spiritual sense is present in every detail there. Anyone can see that without the inner meaning there could be no understanding of what 'the day of killing' is, or of what is described by the details 'will the land mourn', 'the plant of every field wither, on account of the wickedness of those who dwell in it', and 'the beasts and the birds will be devoured'.

[3] In Zechariah,

Thus said Jehovah my God, Feed the sheep for killing, whose owners kill them. Zechariah 11:4-5.

'The sheep for killing' plainly stands for people whose faith is destroyed by those who are their owners. In Ezekiel,

You have desecrated Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crusts of bread, to kill souls that ought not to die, and to keep alive souls that ought not to live. Ezekiel 13:19.

Here also 'killing' plainly stands for destroying spiritual life, that is, charity and faith. In Isaiah,

What will you do on the day of visitation and vastation? They will fall beneath the bound and beneath the killed. Isaiah 10:3-4.

Here 'the killed' stands for those who are in hell, thus for those immersed in evils and falsities.

[4] In the same prophet,

You are cast out from your sepulchre like an abominable branch, [like] a garment of the killed, [like] those pierced with the sword. You will not be united with them in the sepulchre, for you have destroyed your land, you have killed your people. Isaiah 14:19-20.

'The killed' stands for those who have been deprived of spiritual life; 'you have killed your people' stands for his destruction of forms of the truth and good of faith. In John,

The thief does not come except in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that they may have life. John 10:10.

'Killing' stands for destroying the life of faith, and therefore it says, 'I have come in order that they may have life'. In Mark,

Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his children, and the children will rise up against parents and kill them. Mark 13:12.

This refers to the last days of the Church when there is no longer any charity and therefore no faith either. 'Brother', 'children', and 'parents' in the internal sense are the Church's forms of good and its truths; and 'killing' is destroying them.

[5] Because one who had been 'killed' meant a person who had been deprived of spiritual life, and 'the field' meant the Church, it had therefore been decreed in the representative church that if anyone on the surface of the field touched somebody who had been pierced with the sword, or who had been killed, he would be unclean for seven days, Numbers 19:16. 'Slain with the sword' means truth wiped out by falsity, see 4507; for 'the sword' is falsity that wipes out truth, 2799, 4499, 653. It was likewise decreed that if anyone was found killed in the land which was their inheritance, lying on the field, and it was not known who had killed him, the elders and judges were to measure the distances to the cities which were round about. Having found out by doing this which was the nearest city, they were to take a heifer and break its neck at a fast-flowing river, and to do many other things, Deuteronomy 21:1-10.
