Printable ModeFaptele Apostolilor 1:12
|
1:12 Atunci ei s-au intors in Ierusalim din muntele numit al Maslinilor, care este langa Ierusalim, departe cat un drum in ziua Sabatului. S-au intors. Ucenicii s-au departat de la cruce in profunda intristare si deplina dezamagire. Dupa fiecare aratare de dupa invierea Domnului, ei erau lasati in deruta si descumpanire. Acum, insa, dupa ce vazusera pe Domnul lor luat la cer, ei s-au inapoiat cu o neclintita asigurare ca El urma sa revina curand. In Ierusalim. In ascultare de porunca din vers.4. Maslinilor. [,,Olivet”, KJV; ,,Maslinis”, Nitz]. Locul inaltarii, Muntele Maslinilor, aflat la rasarit de Ierusalim si la jumatate drum catre Betania (vezi Matei 21,1). Betania se afla la 15 stadii (gr. stadia. Vezi Vol. V, p.50), adica la vreo 2 mile, de Ierusalim (Ioan 11,18). Luca spune ca dupa cea din urma adunare cu ucenicii Sai in Ierusalim, ,,El I-a dus afara pana spre Betania” (Luc.24,50), poate pentru ca era in vechiul cadru familial pe care El il iubea atat de mult. De acolo, o scurta plimbare de reintoarcere peste ,,Muntele Maslinilor, i-ar fi adus inapoi la Ierusalim. Cat un drum in ziua Sabatului. [,,O calatorie de Sabat”, KJV; ,,Cale de Sambata avand”, Nitz]. O expresie care apare in Biblie numai aici, descriind distanta de la Ierusalim la Muntele Maslinilor (Vezi Exod 16,29; vezi Vol. I, p. 50). Distanta masoara cam 5 -6 stadii (Antiquities XX.8.6; War V.2.3 [70], sau intre doua treimi si trei sferturi de mila. Misna e de acord cu cifrele acestea, deoarece defineste ,,limita Sabatului” ca fiind de 2000 de coti. Ea zice: ,,Daca un om caruia i s-a permis sa faca lucrul acesta ar fi mers dincolo de limita Sabatului si i s-a spus apoi ca fapta [pe care el intentiona sa o faca] fusese deja facuta, e indreptatit sa se miste in cuprinsul limitei Sabatului, adica doua mii de coti in orice directie. Daca distanta era mai mica de 2000 de coti se considera ca nu depasise limita Sabatului. Toti cei care ies sa salveze viata cuiva se pot intoarce la locurile lor de plecare” (Erubin 4,3 Ed. Soncino a Talmudului, p. 306). Erau cai prevazute pentru a infrange inconvenienta pricinuita de o astfel de ,,limita”. ,,Daca un om care era in calatorie [spre casa] era prins de amurg, si avea cunostinta de un copac sau un zid si zicea: ,,Baza mea pentru Sabat sa fie sub el”, afirmatia lui nu e de nici un folos. Daca, insa, zicea: ,,Baza mea de Sabat sa fie la radacina lui”, el se poate deplasa de la locul unde se afla la caderea serii pana la radacina pomului o distanta de doua mii de coti, si de la radacina lui inca doua mii de coti pana la casa lui. In felul acesta el poate sa mearga patru mii de coti dupa amurg. Daca nu cunoaste vreun pom sau zid,… si spunea: ,,Pozitia mea actuala sa fie baza mea de Sabat”, pozitia acelui loc ii da dreptul de a se misca pe o raza de doua mii de coti in orice directie…. Inteleptii, insa, au stabilit regula: ,,Distantele trebuie sa fie calculate in forma unei suprafete patrate, asa incat calatorul sa poata castiga in zona colturilor patratului (Misna ‘Erubin 4.7,8, Ed. Soncio a Talmudului, p.343, 344). ,,Inteleptii n-au decretat legea pentru a adauga restrictii ci pentru a le face mai convenabile” (Ibid. 5.5, Ed. Soncio a Talmudului, p.411). Originea masurii celor 2000 coti se pare ca a fost stabilita in acord cu traditia ca distanta de la cel ,mai departat cort din tabara din pustie a Israelitilor pana la cortul intalnirii, sau tabernacol (cf. Numeri 35,5), era cea mai mare distanta pe care un evreu ar fi parcurs-o fara ca sa se spuna ca a iesit ,,din locul sau in ziua a saptea” (Exod 16,29). Mai exact, aceasta era distanta specificata de Iosua ca trebuind sa fie pastrata intre popor si levitii care purtau chivotul, la trecerea Iordanului (Iosua 3,4). Chrysostom (Omilia III, Fapte 1,12) presupune ca inaltarea trebuie sa fi avut loc intr-o zi de Sabat, pentru a explica mentionarea aici a unui ,,drum de Sabat”. O atare concluzie nu e necesara. Inaltarea probabil a avut loc intr-o zi de Joi (vezi Nota Aditionala la Matei 28). |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
