Mateo第4章

学习

   

1 Nang magkagayo'y inihatid ng Espiritu Santo si Jesus sa ilang upang siya'y tuksuhin ng diablo.

2 At nang siya'y makapagayunong apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi, sa wakas ay nagutom siya.

3 At ang manunukso ay dumating at nagsabi sa kaniya, Kung ikaw ang Anak ng Dios, ay ipagutos mo na ang mga batong ito ay maging mga tinapay.

4 Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot, at sinabi, Nasusulat, Hindi sa tinapay lamang mabubuhay ang tao, kundi sa bawa't salitang lumalabas sa bibig ng Dios.

5 Nang magkagayo'y dinala siya ng diablo sa bayang banal; at inilagay siya sa taluktok ng templo,

6 At sa kaniya'y sinabi, Kung ikaw ang Anak ng Dios, ay magpatihulog ka: sapagka't nasusulat, Siya'y magbibilin sa kaniyang mga anghel tungkol sa iyo: at, Aalalayan ka ng kanilang mga kamay, Baka matisod ka ng iyong paa sa isang bato.

7 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Nasusulat din naman, Huwag mong tutuksuhin ang Panginoon mong Dios.

8 Muling dinala siya ng diablo sa isang bundok na lubhang mataas, at ipinamalas sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga kaharian sa sanglibutan, at ang kaluwalhatian nila;

9 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay ibibigay ko sa iyo, kung ikaw ay magpapatirapa at sasambahin mo ako.

10 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Humayo ka, Satanas: sapagka't nasusulat, Sa Panginoon mong Dios sasamba ka, at siya lamang ang iyong paglilingkuran.

11 Nang magkagayo'y iniwan siya ng diablo; at narito, nagsidating ang mga anghel at siya'y pinaglingkuran.

12 Nang marinig nga niya na si Juan ay dinakip, ay umuwi siya sa Galilea;

13 At pagkaiwan sa Nazaret, ay naparoon siya at tumahan sa Capernaum, na nasa tabi ng dagat, sa mga hangganan ng Zabulon at Neftali:

14 Upang maganap ang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng propeta Isaias na nagsasabi,

15 Ang lupa ni Zabulon at ang lupa ni Neftali, Sa gawing dagat, sa dako pa roon ng Jordan, Galilea ng mga Gentil,

16 Ang bayang nalulugmok sa kadiliman, ay Nakakita ng dakilang ilaw, At sa nangalulugmok sa pook at lilim ng kamatayan, ay Lumiwanag sa kanila ang ilaw.

17 Mula noon ay nagpasimulang mangaral si Jesus, at magsabi, Mangagsisi kayo; sapagka't malapit na ang kaharian ng langit.

18 At sa paglalakad niya sa tabi ng dagat ng Galilea; ay nakita niya ang dalawang magkapatid, si Simon na tinatawag na Pedro, at si Andres na kaniyang kapatid, na inihuhulog ang isang lambat sa dagat; sapagka't sila'y mga mamamalakaya.

19 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsisunod kayo sa hulihan ko, at gagawin ko kayong mga mamamalakaya ng mga tao.

20 At pagdaka'y iniwan nila ang mga lambat, at nagsisunod sa kaniya.

21 At paglakad sa dako roon ay nakita niya ang dalawa pang magkapatid, si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo, at ang kaniyang kapatid na si Juan, sa daong na kasama si Zebedeo na kanilang ama, na nagsisipaghayuma ng kanilang mga lambat; at sila'y kaniyang tinawag.

22 At pagdaka'y iniwan nila ang daong at ang kanilang ama, at nagsisunod sa kaniya.

23 At nilibot ni Jesus ang buong Galilea, na nagtuturo sa mga sinagoga nila, at ipinangangaral ang evangelio ng kaharian, at nagpapagaling ng lahat ng sarisaring sakit at ng lahat ng karamdaman na nasa mga tao.

24 At lumaganap ang pagkabantog niya sa buong Siria: at kanilang dinadala sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga may karamdaman, at ang mga pinipighati ng sarisaring sakit at pahirap, at ang mga inaalihan ng mga demonio, at ang mga himatayin, at ang mga lumpo: at sila'y pinagagaling niya.

25 At sinundan siya ng lubhang karamihang tao mula sa Galilea at Decapolis at Jerusalem at Judea at mula sa dakong ibayo ng Jordan.

10239. 'And Aaron and his sons shall wash in it' means a representative sign of the purification and regeneration of a person by the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'washing' as purification, dealt with above in 10237; from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of Divine Celestial Good, dealt with in 9806, 10068; and from the representation of 'Aaron's sons' as the Lord in respect of Divine Spiritual Good, dealt with in 9807, 10068. From these places it is evident that 'Aaron and his sons shall wash in it' means a representative sign of the purification of a person by the Lord. The reason why a representative sign of regeneration as well is meant is that regeneration as well was represented by washing, that is to say, washing the whole body, which was called baptizing. And baptizing or baptism is the sign of regeneration, see 4255, 9088.

[2] But regeneration is different from purification in that regeneration comes first and purification afterwards. None can be purified from evils and falsities except those who are undergoing regeneration and after they have been regenerated. One who has not been regenerated is, it is true, led away from evils so far as he allows, but he is not purified from them; he is all the time impure. The person who has been regenerated is different; day by day he is being made purer. This is how the Lord's words addressed to Peter should be understood,

He who has been washed has no need except to wash his feet, so that the whole person is clean. John 13:10.

'He who has been washed' means one who has been regenerated.

[3] The fact that the word 'baptizing' was used to denote the total washing of things is clear in Mark 7:4 1 , and to denote washing the whole body, in Matthew 3:13-16; Mark 1:9-10; and also 2 Kings 5:10, 14. The Jordan - in which washings, which were baptizings, took place, Matthew 3:6, 13; Mark 1:5; 2 Kings 5:10, 14 - meant the natural, 1585, 4255. Baptismal washing also means temptation, Matthew 20:22-23; it does so because all regeneration is accomplished by means of temptations, 5036, 5773, 8351, 8958, 8959ff.

[4] It must also be stated briefly here why it was that the Lord, when He was in the world, was Himself willing to be baptized, when yet baptism is the sign of a person's regeneration by Him. The reason was that the baptizing of the Lord Himself was a sign of the glorification of His Humanity. Anything in the Word that means a person's regeneration also means the glorification of the Human within the Lord; for a person's regeneration is an image of the Lord's glorification, 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688. This is why the Lord, when He allowed John to baptize Him, said,

Thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all the righteousness of God 2 . Matthew 3:15.

'Fulfilling all the righteousness of God' means subduing the hells, restoring them and the heavens to order, by His own power, and at the same time glorifying His Human. All this was accomplished by means of the temptations which the Lord allowed Himself to undergo, thus by means of the conflicts with the hells which He underwent repeatedly, even to the last on the Cross. These things constituted the righteousness which the Lord fulfilled, see 9486, 9715, 9809, 10019, 10152. The like is also meant by references to the fulfillment of all things written in the Law and the Prophets concerning the Lord, Luke 18:31; 22:37; 24:44, and by the Lord's declaration that He had come to fulfill all of the law, Matthew 5:17-18.

[5] A person unacquainted with the arcana within the Word thinks that the Lord became righteousness through His fulfillment of everything in the law, and that by this fulfillment He freed the human race from the yoke of the law, and so from damnation. But that is not what these words mean. Rather their meaning is that He became righteousness through His subduing of the hells, restoration of the heavens to order, and glorification of His Human. For by this glorification He filled Himself with power, in order that by His Divine Human He could keep the hells in subjection forever, maintain the heavens in order, and so regenerate a person, that is, deliver him from the hells and save him.

脚注:

1. i.e. the Greek verb used in that verse is baptizein, which implies total immersion in water.

2. Here Swedenborg is following the Latin version of Sebastian Schmidt. There is nothing in the Greek to support the addition of God.

14 Then went he down, and dipped [himself] seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
