denn Gott hat geboten und gesagt: "Ehre den Vater und die Mutter!" (2. Mose 20,12) und: "Wer Vater oder Mutter flucht, (O. schmäht, übel redet von) soll des Todes sterben." (2. Mose 21,17)
Matthaeus 15:4
Apocalypse Explained #814
814. Verse 11. And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
11. "And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth," signifies confirmations from the sense of the letter of the Word in favor of faith separated from life, and the consequent falsifications of the truth of the church n. 815; "and he had two horns like a lamb," signifies the power as if from the Lord of persuading that there is a conjunction with the Word of faith separate n. 816; "and he spake as a dragon," signifies with a similar affection, thought, doctrine, and preaching, as belong to those who separate faith from the life of faith, which is charity n. 817.

17

19
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
20
He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will Move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
