Matas 11

1 Baigęs nurodymus dvylikai savo mokinių, Jėzus iškeliavo toliau mokyti ir pamokslauti kituose miestuose.

2 Jonas, išgirdęs kalėjime apie Kristaus darbus, nusiuntė du savo mokinius

3 Jo paklausti: “Ar Tu esi Tas, kuris turi ateiti, ar mums laukti kito?”

4 Jėzus jiems atsakė: “Eikite ir pasakykite Jonui, ką girdite ir matote:

5 aklieji praregi, luošieji vaikščioja, raupsuotieji apvalomi, kurtieji girdi, mirusieji prikeliami, vargšams skelbiama Evangelija.

6 Ir palaimintas, kas nepasipiktina manimi”.

7 Jiems nueinant, Jėzus ėmė kalbėti minioms apie Joną: “Ko išėjote į dykumą pažiūrėti? Ar vėjo linguojamos nendrės?

8 Ko gi išėjote pamatyti? Ar švelniais drabužiais vilkinčio žmogaus? Švelniais drabužiais vilkintys gyvena karaliaus rūmuose.

9 Tai ko gi išėjote pamatyti? Ar pranašo? Taip, sakau jums, ir kur kas daugiau negu pranašo!

10 Jis yra tas, apie kurį parašyta: ‘Štai Aš siunčiu pirma Tavęs savo pasiuntinį, kuris nuties prieš Tave kelią’.

11 Iš tiesų sakau jums: tarp gimusių iš moterų nepakilo didesnis už Joną Krikštytoją, bet ir mažiausias dangaus karalystėje didesnis už jį.

12 Nuo Jono Krikštytojo dienų iki dabar dangaus karalystė grobiama, ir stiprieji ją jėga ima.

13 Visi pranašai ir Įstatymas pranašavo iki Jono

14 ir, jeigu norite priimti, tai jis ir yra Elijas, kuris turi ateiti.

15 Kas turi ausis klausyti­teklauso!”

16 “Su kuo galėčiau palyginti šią kartą? Ji panaši į vaikus, kurie sėdi prekyvietėje ir šaukia savo draugams:

17 ‘Mes jums grojome, o jūs nešokote. Mes giedojome raudas, o jūs neraudojote’.

18 Atėjo Jonas, nevalgus ir negeriantis, tai jie sako: ‘Jis demono apsėstas’.

19 Atėjo Žmogaus Sūnus, valgantis ir geriantis, tai jie sako: ‘Štai rijūnas ir vyno gėrėjas, muitininkų ir nusidėjėlių bičiulis’. Bet išmintį pateisina jos vaikai”.

20 Tada Jis pradėjo priekaištauti miestams, kuriuose buvo padaryta daugumas Jo stebuklų, kad jie neatgailavo:

21 Vargas tau, Chorazine! Vargas tau, Betsaida! Jeigu Tyre ir Sidone būtų įvykę tokių stebuklų, kokie padaryti pas jus, jie seniai būtų atgailavę su ašutine bei pelenuose.

22 Todėl sakau jums: Tyrui ir Sidonui bus lengviau teismo dieną negu jums!

23 Ir tu, Kafarnaume, išaukštintas iki dangaus, nugarmėsi iki pragaro! Jeigu Sodomoje būtų įvykę tokių stebuklų, kokių įvyko tavyje, ji būtų išlikusi iki šios dienos.

24 Todėl sakau jums: Sodomos žemei bus lengviau teismo dieną negu tau”.

25 Anuo metu Jėzus kalbėjo: “Aš šlovinu Tave, Tėve, dangaus ir žemės Viešpatie, kad paslėpei tai nuo išmintingųjų ir gudriųjų, o apreiškei mažutėliams.

26 Taip, Tėve, nes Tau taip patiko.

27 Viskas man yra mano Tėvo atiduota; ir niekas nepažįsta Sūnaus, tik Tėvas, nei Tėvo niekas nepažįsta, tik Sūnus ir kam Sūnus nori apreikšti.

28 Ateikite pas mane visi, kurie vargstate ir esate prislėgti, ir Aš jus atgaivinsiu.

29 Imkite ant savęs mano jungą ir mokykitės iš manęs, nes Aš romus ir nuolankios širdies, ir jūs rasite savo sieloms atgaivą.

30 Nes mano jungas švelnus ir mano našta lengva”.

10089. 'And wave it as a wave offering before Jehovah' means being endowed with life. This is clear from the meaning of 'waving as a wave offering before Jehovah' as being endowed with life through acknowledgement of the Lord and of the truth that all power in heaven and on earth is His, dealt with above in 10083. It is well known that the first thing of the Church consists in acknowledging the Lord, for the Church teaches that without the Lord there is no salvation. Many places in the Word teach that all power is His; indeed He Himself so teaches in the following places,

All things have been delivered to Me by the Father. Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22.

The Father has given all things into the hand of the Son. John 3:34-35. 1

The Father has given the Son power over all flesh. John 17:2.

Without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5.

All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Matthew 28:18.

Jesus said to Peter, You are the rock; I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:18-19.

By Peter here faith received from the Lord should be understood, thus the Lord in respect of faith, who possesses that power, see Preface to Genesis 22, and 4738, 6344(end). And 'the rock', as he is called there, means the Lord in respect of faith, 8581.

1. The words in these two verses were in fact spoken by John the Baptist.

6344. 'And the beginning of my strength' means that through that faith comes the initial power which truth possesses. This is clear from the meaning of 'the beginning of strength' as initial power; and since 'strength' is used with reference to truth, the initial power that truth possesses is what is meant. A similar usage occurs in Isaiah,

Jehovah imparts might to the weary, and to him who has no strength He gives greater power. Isaiah 40:29.

Here 'might' is used with reference to good and 'strength' to truth, 'power' with reference to both.

A brief statement will be made about how one should understand the explanation that through faith comes the power which good possesses, and the initial power which truth possesses, meant by 'Reuben my firstborn, you are my might and the beginning of my strength'. In the spiritual world all power comes from good through truth; without good truth has no power at all. For truth is so to speak the body, and good so to speak the soul of that body, and to accomplish anything the soul must act through the body. From this it is evident that truth without good has no power at all, even as the body without the soul has none at all. A body without its soul is a corpse; so too is truth without good.

[2] As soon as good effects the birth of faith that is composed of truth, power reveals itself in truth. This power is what is called the initial power that truth possesses through faith and is what is meant by 'the beginning of strength', as in other places in the Word where the condition of the firstborn is referred to, for example in David,

He smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the beginning of strength in the tents of Ham. Psalms 78:51.

And in another place,

He smote all the firstborn in their land, the beginning of all their strength. Psalms 105:36.

Also in Deuteronomy,

He must acknowledge the firstborn son of her that is hated, to give him two parts of all that will be found for him, in that he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the first born is his. Deuteronomy 21:17.

[3] The genuine meaning of 'the firstborn' is the good of charity, though the apparent meaning is the truth of faith, 3325, 4925, 4926, 4928, 4930. And because both that good and this truth are the fundamental qualities of the Church, the ancients spoke of the firstborn as his 'father's might and the beginning of his strength'. The fact that those fundamental qualities were meant by 'the firstborn' is quite evident from the considerations that everything which was a firstborn was Jehovah's or the Lord's and that the tribe of Levi was taken instead of all the firstborn and became the priesthood.

[4] Scarcely anyone in the world can know what the power possessed by truth coming from good is; but it is known to those in the next life, and so can be known through revelation from there. People in possession of truth that comes from good, that is, of faith derived from charity, possess power that comes through truth from good. All angels possess that power, which also is why in the Word angels are called 'powers'. For they have the power to restrain evil spirits; even one angel can restrain a thousand together. Their power they use most especially among men; sometimes they protect a person from numerous hells, in thousands of ways.

[5] This power that angels possess comes to them through the truth of faith derived from the good of charity. But because the faith they have comes from the Lord, the Lord alone is the power that resides with them. This power which comes from the Lord through faith is meant by the Lord's words to Peter,

On this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:18-19.

These words were addressed to Peter because he represented faith, see Preface to Genesis 22, as well as 3750, 4738, 6000, 6073 (end). Also wherever 'rock', 1 as Peter is called here, occurs in the Word, faith is meant in its internal sense, and the Lord in respect of faith in its highest sense.
