Isahluko 5. 1.-11. Amasamanisi kaSimoni. 12-26. Ukuphulukiswa kochoko nobuthakathaka. 27-39. Umkhosi womthelisi uLevi.
Luka 5:1 . Kwathi ngesinye isikhathi isixuku simcindezela ukuba sizwe izwi likaNkulunkulu, wayemi ngasechibini laseGenesaretha.
Phakathi nokushumayela kukaKristu, lapho emi ngasogwini lweChibi laseGenesaretha (cf. Math. 4:18 ), abantu baqala ukumcindezela kangangokuthi kwaba nzima ngaye ukuba ahlale isikhathi eside ogwini ( cf. (Math. 4:18; Marku 1:16).
Luka 5:2 . wabona imikhumbi emibili imi ngaselwandle; nabadobi ababephuma kuzo babecwilisa amanetha.
“Amanetha antanta”. Umvangeli uLuka unaka kuphela lo msebenzi, abanye abavangeli bakhuluma ngokulungisa amanetha (Marku 1:19) noma ngokuphonswa amanetha kuphela (Math. 4:18). Kwakudingekile ukuncibilikisa amanetha ukuze kukhishwe amagobolondo nesihlabathi esingena kuwo.
Luka 5:3 . Wayesengena komunye wemikhumbi kaSimoni, wamcela ukuba ahambe kancane ogwini, wahlala phansi, wafundisa abantu esemkhunjini.
USimoni wayesengumfundi kaKristu kakade (cf. Johane 1:37 ff.), kodwa akazange, njengabanye abaphostoli, ukuba alandele uKristu njalo, futhi waqhubeka nokudoba.
Ngendawo lapho uKristu ayesemkhunjini phakathi nentshumayelo, cf. Marku 4:1.
INkosi yathi kuSimoni akabhukude aye endaweni ejulileyo, aphonse amanetha akhe lapho ukuze abambe izinhlanzi. Igama elithi “wabuza” lasetshenziswa esikhundleni sokuthi “yalile” (Evthymius Zigaben).
Luka 5:4 . Kuthe eseqedile ukukhuluma, uSimoni wathi: "Qubhani niye ekujuleni, niphonse amanetha enu ukuba nidobe."
Luka 5:5 . USimoni wamphendula wathi: “Nkosi, sishikile ubusuku bonke, asibambanga lutho; kepha ngezwi lakho ngiyakuphonsa inetha.
USimoni, ebiza iNkosi ngokuthi “Mfundisi” (ἐπιστάτα! – esikhundleni sekheli elivame ukusetshenziswa abanye abavangeli “orabi”), waphendula ngokuthi kwakungeke kulindelwe ukubanjwa kwezinhlanzi, ngemva kokuba yena nabangane bakhe sebezame ngisho nasebusuku, eNtabeni. amahora angcono kakhulu okudoba, kodwa nalapho ababambanga lutho. Kodwa nokho, ngokokholo ezwini likaKristu, njengoba uSimoni ayazi, ukuthi lalinamandla ayisimangaliso, wenza intando kaKristu futhi wathola izinhlanzi ezinkulu njengomvuzo.
“Siyamangala ngokholo lukaPetru, owaphelelwa yithemba ngezinto ezindala futhi wakholelwa kokusha. “Ngezwi lakho ngiyophonsa inetha.” Kungani ethi, “ngokwezwi lakho”? Ngokuba “ngezwi lakho” “izulu lenziwa”, umhlaba wasungulwa, nolwandle lwahlukaniswa (IHu. 32:6, IHu. 101:26), futhi umuntu wathweswa umqhele wezimbali zakhe, futhi konke kwenzeka. ngokwezwi Lakho, njengoba uPawulu esho, “ebambe konke ngezwi Lakhe elinamandla” (Heb. 1:3)” (uSt. John Chrysostom).
Luka 5:6 . Sebekwenzile lokho babamba izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu, lagqabhuka inetha labo.
Luka 5:7 . Basebeqhweba ababehamba komunye umkhumbi ukuthi babasize; beza, bagcwalisa imikhumbi yomibili, yaze yazika.
Lokhu kubanjiswa kwakukhulu kangangokuthi amanetha aqala ukudabuka kwezinye izindawo, futhi uSimoni kanye nabahamba nabo baqala ukubonisa ngezandla abadobi ababesele kwesinye isikebhe ngasogwini, ukuba beze ngokushesha ukuze babasize. Kwakungadingekile ukuba bamemeze ngenxa yokuba kude komkhumbi kaSimoni ogwini. Futhi abangane bakhe ( τοῖς μετόχοις) kubonakala sengathi babelandela umkhumbi kaSimoni ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngoba babezwile lokho uKristu ayekushilo kuye.
“Nikeza isibonakaliso, hhayi ukumemeza, futhi lawa amatilosi angenzi lutho ngaphandle kokumemeza nomsindo! Kungani? Ngoba ukubanjwa kwezinhlanzi ngokuyisimangaliso kwabaphuca ulimi lwabo. Njengofakazi bokuzibonela bemfihlakalo yaphezulu eyenzeka phambi kwabo, babengenakumemeza, babekwazi ukumemeza ngezibonakaliso kuphela. Abadobi ababevela kwesinye isikebhe uJakobe noJohane ababekuso, baqala ukuqoqa izinhlanzi, kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zaziziningi kangakanani, ezintsha zangena emanetheni. Izinhlanzi zabonakala ziqhudelana ukuze zibone ukuthi ubani owayezoba ngowokuqala ukugcwalisa umyalo weNkosi: ezincane zadlula ezinkulu, ezimaphakathi zihamba phambili kunezinkulu, ezinkulu zeqa ezincane; kabalindanga ukuthi abadobi bababambe ngezandla, kodwa bagxumela emkhunjini. Ukunyakaza phansi kolwandle kwayeka: akukho neyodwa yezinhlanzi eyayifuna ukuhlala lapho, ngoba babazi ukuthi ubani owathi: "amanzi mawaveze izilwane ezihuquzelayo, imiphefumulo ephilayo" (Gen. 1: 20)" (St. John Chrysostom).
Luka 5:8 . USimoni Petru ekubona lokhu, wawa phambi kwamadolo kaJesu, wathi: "Suka kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngingumuntu oyisoni."
Luka 5:9 . Ngoba ukwesaba kwehlela phezu kwakhe labo bonke ababelaye ngenxa yenhlanzi ababezibambile.
Bobabili uSimoni kanye nabanye ababelapho besaba kakhulu, futhi uSimoni waze waqala ukucela iNkosi ukuba iphume emkhunjini, njengoba wayenomuzwa wokuthi ukona kwakhe kwakungase kuhlupheke ebungcweleni bukaKristu ( cf. Luka 1:12, 2 ; 9; 3 AmaKhosi 17:18).
"Kusuka kulokho kubamba" - ngokunembile: "ekubambeni ababekuthathile" (ekuhunyushweni kwesiRashiya akulungile: "kubanjwe yibo"). Lesi simangaliso samshaya kakhulu uSimoni, hhayi ngoba engazange azibone izimangaliso zikaKristu ngaphambili, kodwa ngoba senziwa ngokwenhloso ethile ekhethekile yeNkosi, ngaphandle kwesicelo sikaSimoni. Waqonda ukuthi iNkosi yayifuna ukumnika umsebenzi othile okhethekile, futhi ukwesaba ikusasa elingaziwa kwagcwalisa umphefumulo wakhe.
Luka 5:10 . kanjalo noJakobe noJohane, amadodana kaZebedewu, ababengabangane bakaSimoni. UJesu wasesithi kuSimoni: Ungesabi; kusukela manje uzozingela abantu.
Luka 5:11 . Bayihudulela ogwini imikhumbi, bashiya konke, bamlandela.
INkosi iqinisekisa uSimoni futhi imambulela inhloso Eyayinayo ngokuthumela ngokuyisimangaliso uSimoni umdobi ocebe kakhulu. Lesi kwakuyisenzo esingokomfanekiso uSimoni aboniswa ngaso impumelelo ayezoba nayo lapho eqala ukuguqulela abantu abaningi kuKristu ngokushumayela kwakhe. Ngokusobala, umvangeli wethula lapha leso senzakalo esikhulu esenzeka ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yokushumayela komphostoli uPetru ngosuku lwePhentekoste, okungukuthi, ukuguqulelwa kwabantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu kuKristu (IzEnzo 2:41).
“Bashiye konke”. Nakuba iNkosi yayikhuluma noSimoni kuphela, kubonakala sengathi abanye abafundi beNkosi babeqonda ukuthi sase sifikile isikhathi sokuba bonke bashiye izifundo zabo bahambe neNkosi yabo. Phela, lokhu kwakungakabi ubizo lwabafundi enkonzweni yabaphostoli eyalandela (Luka 6:13ff).
Ukugxekwa okungekuhle kuthi kubavangeli ababili bokuqala akushiwo lutho ngokudoba okuyisimangaliso, okuvela kuso isiphetho sokuthi umvangeli uLuka uhlanganise lapha izenzakalo ezimbili ezihluke ngokuphelele ngesikhathi zaba sinye: ukubizwa kwabafundi ukuba babe abadobi babantu. ( Mat. 4:18-22 ) kanye nokudoba okuyisimangaliso ngemva kokuVuka kukaKristu ( Joh. 21 ). Kodwa ukubanjwa okuyisimangaliso eVangelini likaJohane nokubanjwa okuyisimangaliso eVangelini likaLuka kunencazelo ehluke ngokuphelele. Esokuqala sikhuluma ngokubuyiselwa komphostoli uPetru enkonzweni yakhe yobuphostoli, kanti okwesibili - namanje sikhuluma ngokulungiselela lenkonzo: lapha umcabango uvela kuPetru walowo msebenzi omkhulu iNkosi embizela kuwo. Ngakho-ke, akungabazeki ukuthi okuchazwe lapha akukhona neze ukubanjwa okubikwa nguMvangeli uJohane. Kodwa-ke singabahlanganisa kanjani abavangeli ababili bokuqala nowesithathu? Kungani abavangeli ababili bokuqala bengasho lutho ngokudoba? Abanye abahumushi, beqaphela ukungabi namandla kwabo okuxazulula lo mbuzo, bathi umvangeli uLuka akasho nhlobo lolu bizo, abashumayeli bokuqala ababili abakhuluma ngalo. Kodwa sonke isimo somcimbi asikuvumeli ukucabanga ukuthi singaphindwa nokuthi umvangeli uLuka wayengakhulumi ngalomzuzu womlando wevangeli umvangeli uMathewu noMarku ababecabanga ngawo. Ngakho-ke, kungcono ukusho ukuthi abavangeli ababili bokuqala abazange banamathisele incazelo ebaluleke kangaka kulokhu kudoba okungokomfanekiso njengoba kunjalo kumvangeli uLuka. Eqinisweni, kumvangeli uLuka, echaza encwadini yezEnzo umsebenzi wokushumayela womphostoli uPetru, futhi, ngokusobala, enesithakazelo isikhathi eside kukho konke okuphathelene nalo mphostoli, kwabonakala kubaluleke kakhulu ukuphawula eVangelini lesi sithunzi esingokomfanekiso. yempumelelo yomsebenzi wesikhathi esizayo womphostoli uPetru, oqukethwe endabeni yokudoba okuyisimangaliso.
Luka 5:12 . Kwathi uJesu esedolobheni, kwafika indoda egcwele uchoko, yathi imbona uJesu, yawa ngobuso, yamncenga, yathi: Nkosi, uma uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
Luka 5:13 . UJesu welula isandla, wamphatha, wathi: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka; Masinyane ubulephero basuka kuye.
“wamthinta”. Ngokusho kukaBlaz. Theophylact, uNkulunkulu “wamthinta” ngaphandle kwesizathu. Kodwa njengoba ngokoMthetho lowo othinta onochoko kuthiwa ungcolile, uyamthinta, efuna ukubonisa ukuthi akadingi ukugcina imiyalo emincane kangaka yoMthetho, kodwa ukuthi Yena ngokwakhe uyiNkosi yoMthetho, nokuthi abahlanzekileyo abangcoliswa nakancane ngongcolile, kepha uchoko lomphefumulo yilona olungcolisayo. INkosi iyamthinta ngale njongo futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ukukhombisa ukuthi inyama Yakhe engcwele inamandla obuNkulunkulu okuhlanza nokunikeza ukuphila, njengenyama yeqiniso kaNkulunkulu uLizwi.
“Ngiyafuna, zihlanze”. Okholweni lwakhe kufika impendulo enesihe esingenakulinganiswa: “Ngizohlanzwa.” Zonke izimangaliso zikaKristu ziyizambulo ngesikhathi esisodwa. Lapho izimo zecala zidinga, ngezinye izikhathi akaphenduli ngokushesha esicelweni sogulayo. Kodwa akukaze kube nesisodwa isenzakalo lapho Angabaza ngisho isikhashana lapho onochoko ekhala kuYe. Uchoko lwalubhekwa njengophawu lwesono, futhi uKristu wayefuna ukusifundisa ukuthi umthandazo wesoni osuka enhliziyweni wokuhlanzwa uyaphendulwa ngokushesha. Lapho uDavide, umfanekiso wabo bonke abaphendukayo beqiniso, ekhala ngokuzisola kweqiniso: “Ngonile kuJehova”, umprofethi uNathani masinyane wamlethela ivangeli lomusa elivela kuNkulunkulu: “UJehova ususile isono sakho; awuyikufa” ( 2 AmaKhosi 12:13 ). UMsindisi welula isandla futhi wathinta onochoko, futhi ngokushesha uyahlanzwa.
Luka 5:14 . Wamyala ukuthi angabizi muntu, kepha hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho, njengokuyala kukaMose, kube ngubufakazi kubo.
(Qhathanisa noMath. 8:2–4; Marku 1:40–44).
Umvangeli uLuka ulandela eduze uMarku lapha.
UKristu uyabenqabela abaphulukisiwe ukuba bakhulume ngalokho okwenzekile, ngoba ukuthinta abanochoko, okwenqatshelwe ngumthetho, kungase kuphinde kubangele isivunguvungu sokuthukuthela ohlangothini lwabashisekeli bomthetho abangenamphefumulo, labo incwadi efile yomthetho ithandeka kakhulu kunobuntu. Kunalokho, ophulukisiwe kwakumelwe ahambe ayozibonakalisa kubapristi, alethe isipho esimisiwe, ukuze athole incwadi engokomthetho yokuhlanjululwa kwakhe. Kodwa indoda ephulukisiwe yajabula kakhulu ekujabuleni kwayo ukuyifihla enhliziyweni yayo, futhi ayizange isigcine isifungo sokuthula, kodwa yenza ukuphulukiswa kwayo kwaziwe yonke indawo. Nokho, uLuka akasho lutho ngokungalaleli komvangeli onochoko (cf. Marku 1:45).
Luka 5:15 . Kepha izwi ngaye landa kakhulu, kwabuthana abantu abaningi ukumlalela nokukhuleka kuye ngenxa yezifo zabo.
“Ngisho nangaphezulu”, isb. ngokwezinga elikhulu kakhulu kunangaphambili (μᾶλλον). Ukuvinjelwa, uthi, kwakhuthaza abantu ukuba basakaze amahlebezi ngoMenzi Wezimanga nakakhulu.
Luka 5:16 . Waya ezindaweni ezingenabantu wakhuleka.
“Futhi sidinga ukuthi uma kukhona esiphumelele kukho, sibaleke ukuze abantu bangasincomi, sikhuleke ukuze isipho sigcinwe ezweni lakithi. (Evthymius Zygaben).
Luka 5:17 . Kwathi ngolunye usuku efundisa, abaFarisi nabafundisi bomthetho behlezi khona, abavela emizini yonke yaseGalile, naseJudiya, naseJerusalema, enamandla eNkosi ukubaphulukisa,
Umvangeli uLuka wenza izengezo endabeni yabanye abaVangeli.
“Ngolunye usuku”, okungukuthi ngolunye lwalezo zinsuku, phakathi nohambo olwathathwa iNkosi (bheka uLuka 4:43ff.).
“abafundisi bomthetho” (cf. Math. 22:35).
“kuzo zonke izigodi” isisho se-hyperbolic. Izisusa zokuza kwabaFarisi nabafundisi bomthetho zazingehluka kakhulu, kodwa, kusobala, isimo sengqondo esingenabungane ngoKristu sasibusa phakathi kwabo.
“Amandla kaNkulunkulu” okungukuthi amandla kaNkulunkulu. Lapho ebiza khona uKristu Nkosi, uMvangeli uLuka ubhala igama elithi κύριος elishiwo (ὁ κύριος), futhi lapha libekwe κυρίου - lingachazwanga.
Luka 5:18 . bheka, abanye bethwele ngohlaka umuntu obuthakathaka, befuna ukumngenisa, bambeke phambi kwakhe;
(Qhathanisa noMath. 9:2–8; Marku 2:3–12).
Luka 5:19 . kwathi bengafumani lapho bengamngenisa khona, ngenxa yokuphithizela, bakhwela phezu kwendlu, bamehlisa ophahleni, benohlaka phakathi, phambi kukaJesu.
“Ngophahla”, okungukuthi nge-slab (διὰ τῶν κεράμων) eyayibekwe ophahleni lwendlu. Endaweni eyodwa bembule uqwembe. (kuMarku 2:4, uphahla luboniswa njengoludinga “ukubhodlozwa”).
Luka 5:20 . Futhi yena ebona ukholo lwabo wathi kuye: Ndoda, izono zakho zithethelelwe.
“Wathi kuye: Ndoda, uthethelelwe…” – UKristu ubiza obuthakathaka hhayi “ngomntwana”, njengakwezinye izimo (ngokwesibonelo, Math. 9:2), kodwa nje “umuntu”, mhlawumbe ebhekisele esonweni sakhe sangaphambili. ukuphila.
Blaz. UTheophylact uyabhala: “Uqala ukwelapha isifo sengqondo, ngokuthi: ‘Izono zakho zithethelelwe,’ ukuze sazi ukuthi izifo eziningi zibangelwa izono; wayesephulukisa nobuthakathaka bomzimba, ebona ukukholwa kwabamlethayo. Ngoba kaningi ngokukholwa kwabanye uyabasindisa abanye”.
Luka 5:21 . Ababhali nabaFarisi baqala ukuzindla, bathi: Ngubani ohlambalazayo na? Ngubani ongathethelela izono ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu yedwa?
Luka 5:22 . UJesu esazi imicabango yabo, wabaphendula wathi: Licabangani enhliziyweni zenu?
“Lapho uqonda, cabanga ngabo”. Abanye abagxeki bakhomba lapha ekuphikisaneni komvangeli uLuka naye ngokwakhe: ngakolunye uhlangothi, usanda kusho lokho ababhali ababebonisana nabo obala, ukuze uKristu ezwe izingxoxo zabo, bese ethi, uKristu wangena emicabangweni yabo. , ababezigcina ngaphakathi kubo, njengoba umvangeli uMarku ephawula. Kodwa akukho ngempela ukuphikisana lapha. UKristu wayengayizwa inkulumo yababhali phakathi kwabo - uLuka akazithuli ngalokhu - kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo wangena ngomcabango wakhe emicabangweni yabo eyimfihlo, ababeyifihla. Ngakho-ke, ngokukaMvangeli uLuka, abazange bakhulume ngokuzwakalayo konke ababekucabanga.
Luka 5:23 . Yikuphi okulula? Ukuthi: Izono zenu zithethelelwe; noma ngithi: sukuma uhambe?
Ngakho-ke uthi: “Yikuphi okubonakala kukuhle kakhulu kini, ukuthethelelwa kwezono noma ukubuyiselwa kwempilo yomzimba? Mhlawumbe ngokubona kwakho ukuthethelelwa kwezono kubonakala kulula kakhulu njengento engabonakali nengaphatheki, nakuba kunzima kakhulu, futhi ukuphulukiswa komzimba kubonakala kunzima njengokuthile okubonakalayo, nakuba ngokuyisisekelo kuntofontofo kakhudlwana.” (Blaz. Theophylact)
Luka 5:24 . Kodwa ukuze nazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu inamandla emhlabeni okuthethelela izono (wathi kwababuthakathaka): “Ngithi kini: Vuka, uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uye endlini yakho.
Luka 5:25 . Wasukuma masinyane phambi kwabo, wathatha lokho abelele kukho, waya ekhaya, edumisa uNkulunkulu.
Luka 5:26 . Ukwesaba kwabehlela bonke, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu; besaba, bathi: "Sibone izimangaliso namuhla."
Umcabango owenziwa yilesi simangaliso kubantu (ivesi 26), ngokusho komvangeli uLuka, wawunamandla kunoMathewu noMarku abawuchazayo.
Luka 5:27 . Ngemva kwalokho uJesu waphuma futhi wabona umthelisi ogama lakhe linguLevi ehlezi ehhovisi lentela, wathi kuye: “Ngilandele.
Ukubizwa komthelisi uLevi kanye nomkhosi owawuhlelwe nguye, umvangeli uLuka uchaza ngokukaMarku (Marku 2:13-22; cf. Math. 9:9-17), ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela enezela ukulandisa kwakhe.
"Waphuma" - edolobheni.
“Wabona” – ngokunembile kakhulu: “waqala ukubheka, wabheka” (ἐθεάσατο).
Luka 5:28 . Washiya konke, wasukuma, wamlandela.
“Ekushiye konke”, okungukuthi ihhovisi lakho nakho konke okukulo!
“walandela” – ngokunembile: “walandela” (min. inkathi engaphelele yesenzo esithi ἠκολούει ngokufunda okuhle kakhulu kusho ukulandela uKristu njalo)
Luka 5:29 . ULevi wamlungisela idili elikhulu ekhaya; kwakukhona abathelisi abaningi nabanye behlezi nabo ekudleni.
“Nabanye ababehlezi nabo etafuleni.” Ngakho umvangeli uLuka uthatha indawo kaMarku ethi “izoni” (Marku 2:15). Mayelana neqiniso lokuthi kwakukhona “izoni” etafuleni, usho evesini 30 .
Luka 5:30 . Ababhali nabaFarisi bakhonona, bathi kubafundi bakhe: “Yini ukuba nidle niphuze nabathelisi nezoni na?
Luka 5:31 . UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: Abaphilileyo abadingi dokotela, ngabagulayo;
Luka 5:32 . Angizanga ukuzobiza abalungileyo, kodwa izoni ukuba ziphenduke.
Luka 5:33 . Basebesithi kuye: Kungani abafundi bakaJohane bezila ukudla njalo, bekhuleka njengabaFarisi, kodwa abakho bayadla banathe?
“Kungani abafundi bakaJohane…”. Umvangeli uLuka akasho ukuthi abafundi bakaJohane ngokwabo baphendukela kuKristu ngemibuzo (cf. uMathewu noMarku). Lokhu kuchazwa ngokuthi ufinyeza lesi sithombe, abavangeli ababili bokuqala abasihlukanisa zibe izigcawu ezimbili, zibe isiqephu esisodwa. Okwenza abafundi bakaJohane bazithole sebekanye nabaFarisi kulokhu kuchazwa ukufana kwemikhuba yabo yenkolo. Eqinisweni, umoya wobuFarisi wokuzila ukudla nokuthandaza wawuhluke ngokuphelele kulowo wabafundi bakaJohane, ngesikhathi esifanayo abalahla kancane abaFarisi ( Math. 3 ). Imithandazo eyenziwa ngabafundi bakaJohane - umvangeli uLuka kuphela obalulayo - cishe yenziwa ngezikhathi ezahlukene zosuku, lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "shma" yamaJuda (cf. Mat. 6:5).
Luka 5:34 . Wathi kubo: Ningakwazi yini ukumenza umyeni azile ukudla, umyeni enabo na?
“Futhi manje ake sithi kafushane “amadodana omshado” (abakhwenyana) abizwa ngokuthi abaphostoli. Ukuza kweNkosi kufaniswa nomshado ngoba ithathe iBandla njengomakoti wayo. Ngakho manje abaphostoli akufanele bazile ukudla. Abafundi bakaJohane kumele bazile ukudla ngoba umfundisi wabo wenza ukulunga ngokusebenza nzima lokugula. Ngoba kuthiwa: “UJohane weza engadli, engaphuzi” (Math. 11:18). Kodwa abafundi Bami, njengoba behlala Kimi - iZwi likaNkulunkulu, manje abadingi inzuzo yokuzila, ngoba yilokhu (ukuhlala Nami) ukuthi bayacetshiswa futhi bavikelwe Yimi". (Busisiwe Theophylact)
Luka 5:35 . Kodwa zizakufika izinsuku lapho umyeni ezakususwa kubo, khona-ke bayakuzila ngalezo zinsuku.
Luka 5:36 . Wayesebatshela umfanekiso wokuthi: Akakho othungela isiziba sengubo entsha engutsheni endala; uma kungenjalo, entsha nayo izodabula, futhi endala ngeke ifane nesichibi esisha.
“Khona-ke wabatshela umfanekiso . . . ”. Ichaza ukuthi abaFarisi nabafundi bakaJohane abakwazanga ukwenza izimangalo mayelana nokungagcini kukaKristu ukuzila (umthandazo awubuzwa ngoba, yiqiniso, abafundi bakaKristu nabo bathandaza), iNkosi ichaza ngokuqhubekayo ukuthi ngakolunye uhlangothi, abafundi Bayo kufanele bangalahli ngokhahlo abaFarisi nabafundi bakaJohane ngokunamathela kwabo ngokuqinile ezimisweni zeTestamente Elidala noma, kangcono, emasikweni asendulo. Umuntu akufanele ngempela athathe isichibi sengubo entsha ukuze alungise endala; isiqeshana esidala asilingani, nesitsha sizokonakala ngokusikwa okunjalo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi embonweni wezwe weTestamente Elidala, lapho ngisho nabafundi bakaJohane uMbhapathizi baqhubeka bema, ingasaphathwa eyabaFarisi, akufanele kwenezelwe ingxenye eyodwa kuphela yombono wezwe omusha wobuKristu, ngesimo sengqondo esikhululekile ukuzila okusekelwe esikweni lamaJuda (hhayi eMthethweni KaMose). Kuthiwani uma abafundi bakaJohane bebeboleka le nkululeko kuphela kubafundi bakaKristu? Ngaphandle kwalokho, umbono wabo wezwe ngeke nakancane ushintshe, futhi okwamanje bayobe bephula ubuqotho bombono wabo siqu, futhi kanye nalemfundiso entsha yobuKristu, okwakumelwe bajwayelane nayo ngaleso sikhathi, kuyolahlekelwa umbono wobuqotho kubo.
Luka 5:37 . Futhi akakho othela iwayini elisha ezingqalathini ezindala; uma kungenjalo, iwayini elisha liyoqhuma imigodla yewayini, lichitheke, nezimvaba zonakale;
Luka 5:38 . kodwa iwayini elisha limelwe ukuthelwa ezimvabeni ezintsha; khona-ke kokubili kuyakusindiswa.
“Futhi akekho othelayo…”. Nanku omunye umzekeliso, kodwa onokuqukethwe okufanayo ncamashi nesokuqala. Iwayini elisha liyakuthelwa ezingqalathini ezintsha zewayini, ngokuba liyakubila, nezingqalathi zewayini zinwebeka kakhulu. Izikhumba ezindala ngeke zimelane nale nqubo yokuvutshelwa, zizoqhuma - futhi kungani kufanele sizidela ngeze? Bangase bajwayelane nokuthile… Kuyacaca ukuthi lapha uKristu uphinda uveza ubuze bokuphoqa abafundi bakaJohane, bengakulungele ukwamukela imfundiso yaKhe bebonke, ngokuthatha umthetho othile ohlukene wenkululeko yobuKristu.
