Matteus 10:34-10:36....förklaring?

"Tro inte jag kommit med fred till jorden. Jag har inte kommit med fred, utan med svärd. (35) Ty jag har kommit för att ställa en man mot hans far, en dotter mot hennes mor, en sonhustru mot hennes svärmor, (36) och mannens husfolk skall bli hans fiender"


Hur ser ni på detta citat, vad anser ni detta betyda, hur tolkar ni det?

Detta citat handlar om att Jesus inte kom till jorden för att ställa allt tillrätta. Tvärtom så kommer Jesu läljungar mördas för sin kristna tro, det kommer bli baktal i släkten om en ingift är kristen och så vidare.

Här är John Gills förklaring till detta:


Matthew 10:34

Think not ye that I am come to send peace on earth,.... The Jews had a notion of great outward peace and prosperity in the days of the Messiah; which was grounded on several prophecies of the Old Testament, not rightly understood by them; and the disciples of Christ had imbibed the same notion: wherefore our Lord thought fit to let them know the contrary; and that they must not expect outward ease and quiet, and worldly tranquillity would attend their ministry; for though he came to be a peace maker between God and sinners, by the blood of his cross; and was both the author and donor of spiritual peace to his people; and the Gospel he brought with him, and sent them to preach, was the Gospel of peace; which, accompanied with his power, would produce peace in the consciences of men, and be the means of cultivating and maintaining peace among the saints; yet "peace on earth" in a temporal sense, whether in the world in general, or in Judea in particular, must not be expected as the consequence of his coming; so far from it, that he subjoins,

I came, not to send peace, but a sword. By the "sword" may be meant the Gospel, which is the means of dividing and separating the people of Christ from the men of the world, and from their principles and practices, and one relation from another; as also of divisions, discords, and persecutions arising from it: not that it was the intention and design of Christ, in coming into the world, to foment and encourage such things; but this, through the malice and wickedness of men, was eventually the effect and consequence of his coming; see Lu 12:51 where, instead of a "sword", it is "division"; because the sword divides asunder, as does the sword of the Spirit, the word of God. Ver. 35.


Matthew 10:35

For I am come to set a man at variance against,.... Or "to divide a man from his father". Here our Lord opens and explains what he means by the sword, intestine divisions, domestic broils, family differences, as well as such as appear in towns, cities, and kingdoms, which are exemplified by other instances following;

and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: the case is this, a father believing in Christ, embracing his Gospel, and submitting to his institutions, is contradicted, opposed, and persecuted by his own son, and a mother by her own daughter; in both which relations, natural affection knit them together; and the mother-in-law by her daughter-in-law, who before lived together in the most peaceable, kind, and tender manner: which must be imputed, not to Christ, and the doctrines of Christ, and the natural tendency of them, embraced by the father, the mother, and mother-in-law; but to the natural enmity of the son, the daughter, and the daughter-in-law, to everything divine, spiritual, and evangelical, or "vice versa". Ver. 36.


Matthew 10:36

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

His children, and his servants, such that he has either begotten and brought up, or are daily fed at his table, and maintained by him. This, with the former instances, are borrowed from and the times of the Gospel are set forth in the same dismal and black characters, as those in which the prophet lived; and much such a description do the Jews themselves give, of the times of their expected Messiah; which agreeing in words, as well as things, I cannot forbear transcribing."The government shall be turned to heresy (Sadducism), and there will be no reproof; the synagogue shall become a brothel house, Galilee shall be destroyed, and Gablan shall be laid waste, and the men of the border shall wander from city to city, and shall obtain no mercy; the wisdom of the Scribes shall stink, and they that fear to sin shall be despised, and truth shall fail; young men shall turn pale, or put to shame, the faces of old men, and old men shall stand before young men; the "son" shall deal basely "with his father, the daughter shall rise up against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and the enemies of a man shall be they of his own house": the face of that generation shall be as the face of a dog, and the son shall not reverence his father {o}.''All which characters, how exactly they agree with the generation in which Christ lived, is easy to observe.{o} Misn. Sota, c. 9. sect. 15. T. Bab. Sanhedrim, fol. 97. 1. Zohar in Num. fol. 102. 3. & Raya Mehimna in ib. in Lev. fol. 28. 2. Shirhashirim Rabba, fol. 11. 4. Derech Eretz Zuta, fol. 19. 4. Ver. 37.

Okej, jag hade nog tolkat detta som att typ, även fast du älskar din familj otroligt mycket, så ska du inte glömma Gud och tro att familjen är ditt allt endast. Därav bibeln fortsätter med 10:37:

"Den som älskar far eller mor mer än mig, han är inte värd att tillhöra mig. (38) Den som inte tar sitt kors och följer efter mig är inte värd att tillhöra mig.


När man ser den fortsättningen känns ju det mer logiskt?

När man ser den fortsättningen känns ju detta med biblen än mer sjukt

Menar du att Bibeln innehåller självemotsägligt och diktatoriskt material? ;D

Jesus trodde att via honom skulle den yttersta tiden infrias. Därav att det skulle bli konflikt. Men så blev det givetvis inte.

Svårare än så är det inte.
