Mateo 11

പഠനം

   

1 Y FUÉ, que acabando Jesus de dar mandamientos á sus doce discípulos, se fué de allí á enseñar y á predicar en las ciudades de ellos.

2 Y oyendo Juan en la prision los hechos de Cristo, le envió dos de sus discípulos,

3 Diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquel que habia de venir, ó esperarémos á otro?

4 Y respondiendo Jesus, les dijo: Id, y haced saber á Juan las cosas que oís y veis.

5 Los ciegos ven, y los cojos andan; los leprosos son limpiados, y los sordos oyen; los muertos son resucitados, y á los pobres es anunciado el Evangelio.

6 Y bienaventurado es el que no fuere escandalizado en mí.

7 E idos ellos, comenzó Jesus á decir de Juan á las gentes: ¿Qué salisteis á ver al desierto? ¿una caña que es meneada del viento?

8 Mas ¿qué salísteis á ver? ¿un hombre cubierto de delicados vestido? Hé aquí, los que traen [vestidos] delicados, en las casas de los reyes están.

9 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un profeta? tambien os digo, y más que profeta.

10 Porque este es de quien está escrito: Hé aquí yo envio mi mensajero delante de tu faz, que aparejará tu camino delante de tí.

11 De cierto os digo, [que] no se levantó entre los que nacen de mujeres otro mayor que Juan el Bautista: mas el que es muy más pequeño en el reino de los cielos, mayor es que él.

12 Desde los dias de Juan el Bautista hasta ahora, al reino de los cielos se hace fuerza, y los valientes le arrebatan.

13 Porque todos los profetas y la ley hasta Juan profetizaron.

14 Y si quereis recibir, él es aquel Elías que habia de venir.

15 El que tiene oidos para oir, oiga.

16 Mas ¿á quién compararé esta generacion? Es semejante á los muchachos que se sientan en las plazas, y dan voces á sus compañeros,

17 Y dicen: Os tañimos flauta, y no bailásteis; os endechamos, y no lamentásteis.

18 Porque vino Juan, que ni comia ni bebia, y dicen: Demonio tiene.

19 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe; y dicen: Hé aquí un hombre comilon, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores. Mas la sabiduría es justificada por sus hijos.

20 Entónces comenzó á reconvenir á las ciudades en las cuales habian sido hechas muy muchas de sus maravillas, porque no se habian arrepentido, [diciendo:]

21 ¡Ay de tí, Corazin! ¡Ay de tí, Bethsaida! porque si en Tiro y en Sidon fueran hechas las maravillas que han sido hechas en vosotras, en otro tiempo se hubieran arrepentido en saco y en ceniza.

22 Por tanto os digo, [que] á Tiro y á Sidon será más tolerable [el castigo] en el dia del juicio, que á vosotras.

23 Y tú, Capernaum, que eres levantada hasta el cielo, hasta los infiernos serás abajada: porque si en los de Sodoma fueran hechas las maravillas que han sido hechas en tí, hubieran quedado hasta el dia de hoy.

24 Por tanto os digo, [que] á la tierra de los de Sodoma será más tolerable [el castigo] en el dia del juicio, que á tí.

25 En aquel tiempo, respondiendo Jesus, dijo: Te alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, que hayas escondido estas cosas de los sabios y de los entendidos, y las hayas revelado á los niños.

26 Así, Padre, pues que así agradó en tus ojos.

27 Todas las cosas me son entregadas de mi Padre: y nadie conoció al Hijo, sino el Padre: ni al Padre conoció alguno, sino el Hijo, y [aquel] á quien el Hijo [lo] quisiere revelar.

28 Venid á mí todos los que estais trabajados, y cargados, que yo os haré descansar.

29 Llevad mi yugo sobre vosotros, y aprended de mí; que soy manso y humilde de corazon; y hallaréis descanso para vuestras almas.

30 Porque mi yugo es fácil, y ligera mi carga.

6398. 'Dan will be a serpent on the road' means their reasoning regarding truth, since good does not as yet lead them. This is clear from the representation of 'Dan' as those guided by truth but not as yet by good, dealt with above in 6396; from the meaning of 'a serpent' as reasoning based on sensory evidence, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the road' as truth, dealt with in 627, 2733. Thus 'Dan is a serpent on the road' means their reasoning regarding truth, since good does not as yet lead them. The nature of that reasoning and the nature of the truth resulting from it will be stated below.

[2] The reason why 'a serpent' means reasoning based on sensory evidence is that the interiors of a person are represented in heaven by living creatures of various kinds, and therefore in the Word similar things are meant by those same creatures. A person's sensory powers have come to be represented by serpents because they are the lowest of his mental powers. Compared with other mental powers those of the senses are on the ground so to speak, crawling around there, as may also be recognized from the forms that sensory impressions adopt when they enter in, which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be dealt with elsewhere. This explains why those sensory powers have come to be represented by 'serpents', so much so that the Lord's Divine sensory perception was represented by the bronze serpent in the wilderness, 4211 (end).

[3] True shrewdness and circumspection - qualities that reveal themselves in external affairs - were also meant by 'serpents', in Matthew,

Be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. Matthew 10:16.

But in the case of a person who is governed by his senses and is far removed from what is internal - as those people are who are guided by truth but not as yet by good - and who speaks as his senses tell him, 'a serpent' means false reasoning. This therefore is why here, where Dan is the subject, reasoning regarding truth because good does not as yet lead him is meant. In other contexts ill-will, deceitfulness, and trickery are also meant by 'serpents', though in those places they are poisonous serpents - such as vipers and the like - whose reasoning is their poison.

'A serpent' is reasoning based on sensory evidence, see 195-197.

'A serpent' is all evil in general, and evils are distinguished from one another by different kinds of serpents, 251, 254, 257.

Arcana Coelestia #627

627. 'For all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth 1 ' means that man's bodily-mindedness destroyed all understanding of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'flesh', dealt with already at verse 3, as in general the whole of mankind, and in particular the bodily-minded man, or everything of a bodily nature; and from the meaning of 'way' as the understanding of truth, or truth itself. The fact that 'way' has reference to the understanding of truth, or to truth itself, becomes clear from the examples already quoted in several places as well as from the following,

Jehovah said, Get up, go down quickly from here, for your people have corrupted themselves. They have suddenly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have cast for themselves a metal image. Deuteronomy 9:11, 16.

This means that they forsook His commandments, which are truths.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Whose eyes have been opened upon all the ways of the sons of man, giving to every man (vir) according to his ways and according to the fruit of his works. Jeremiah 32:19.

'Ways' means life according to the commandments, 'fruit of his works' life based on charity. 'Way' accordingly has reference to truths, which comprise commandments and ordinances, and so do 'son of man' and 'man' (vir), as shown above. Jeremiah 7:3; 17:10, also contain similar usages.

In Hosea,

I will visit upon him his ways, and require him for his works. Hosea 4:9.

In Zechariah,

Return from your evil ways and from your evil works. As Jehovah Zebaoth thought to deal with us for our ways and for our works. Zechariah 1:4, 6.

Similar phrases appear here, yet they are the contrary in meaning to those mentioned before them, since they are 'evil ways' and 'evil works'.

In Jeremiah,

I will give them one heart and one way. Jeremiah 32:39.

'Heart' stands for goods, 'way' for truths. In David,

Make me understand the way of Your commandments. Take from me the way of untruth, and graciously grant me Your law. I have chosen the way of truth. I will run in the way of Your precepts. Psalms 119:26-27, 29-30, 32, 35.

Here 'the way of the commandments and precepts' is called 'the way of truth', and the contrary of this, 'the way of untruth'.

[3] In the same author,

Make Your ways known to me, O Jehovah, teach me Your paths, guide my way in Your truth, and teach me. Psalms 25:4-5.

This in like manner plainly stands for the truth. In Isaiah,

With whom did Jehovah consult, and he instructed Him, and taught Him the path of judgement, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him know the way of understanding? Isaiah 40:14.

This plainly stands for an understanding of truth. In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, Stand upon the highways and look, and ask concerning the paths of old, which is the good way, and go in it. Jeremiah 6:16.

This in like manner stands for an understanding of truth. In Isaiah,

I will lead the blind in a way they do not know; and in paths they do not know I will guide them. Isaiah 42:16.

The expressions way, by-path, pathway, road, and street all have reference to truths because they lead to what is true, as also in Jeremiah,

They have caused them to stumble in their ways, in the pathways of old, going into by-paths and not the highway. Jeremiah 18:15.

Similarly in the Book of Judges,

In the days of Jael pathways ceased to be. And those who went along the paths kept to twisting pathways; the streets in Israel ceased to be. Judges 5:6-7.
