1:18 Iar nasterea lui Isus Hristos a fost asa: Maria, mama Lui, era logodita cu Iosif; si inainte ca sa locuiasca ei impreuna, ea s-a aflat insarcinata de la Duhul Sfant. Nasterea. [Vestirea catre Iosif; Casatoria lui. Matei 1,18-25. Vezi harta p. 214]. Poate Matei nu mentioneaza mai mult din circumstantele din jurul nasterii lui Isus de cat erau necesare ca dovada ca venirea Lui constituia o implinire a profetiilor VT (vezi v. 22). In armonie cu scopul Evangheliei sale, Matei, in contrast cu Marcu si Luca, a omis mare parte din latura interesului uman al vietii lui Isus pentru ca el sa se poata concentra asupra invataturilor lui Isus. (vezi p. 191) Maria, mama Lui. Isus fusese facut ,,intr-o fire asemanatoare cu a pacatului” (Romani 8,3). Maria avea tot atat de multa nevoie de mantuire de pacatele ei ca si oricare alt fiu sau alta fiica a lui Adam (Romani. 3,10.23). Exista un ,,singur mijlocitor intre Dumnezeu si oameni, Omul Isus Hristos” (1 Timotei 2,5). Logodita cu Iosif. [,,Casatorita cu Iosif”, KJV]. Adica logodita, sau angajata cu el. Atat Maria, cat si Iosif locuiau in Nazaret (Luca 1,26.27; 2,4), ,,cetatea lor” (Luca 2,39), desi, ca descendenti ai lui David, ei considerau Betleemul caminul lor stramosesc (vezi DA 66). Faptul ca ei au gasit numai cu greu gazda in Betleem sugereaza ca nici unul din ei nu avea atunci rude apropiate acolo. Atat Iosif, cat si Maria erau din casa si din neamul lui David (Matei 1,20; Luca 1,26.27; 2,4; vezi la Matei 1,16). Ei erau probabil membrii ai cercului restrans care studia cu ravna profetiile si astepta venirea lui Mesia (DA 44, 47, 98). Daca lucrurile stau asa, cunoscand ca timpul era aproape, ei, ca si alti membri ai acestui grup, se rugau fara indoiala ca Dumnezeu sa grabeasca venirea Lui (vezi Luca 2,25.26.38). Se pare ca Iosif era vaduv la data casatoriei lui cu Maria. El avea cel putin alti sase copii (Matei 12,46; 13,55.56; Marcu 6,3; DA 90, 321; patru frati si un numar nespecificat de surori sunt mentionati), toti probabil mai mari decat Isus (DA 86,87. Vezi la Matei 1,25). Inainte ca sa locuiasca ei impreuna. [,,Inainte de a veni laolalta”, KJV, ,,Inainte de a fi ei impreuna”, G.Gal.]. Matei aratase deja ca Iosif nu era tatal lui Isus (v. 16). Aici, el reafirma faptul. In cursul timpului logodnei viitoarea mireasa si viitorul mire erau legati legal ca sot si sotie, desi nu locuiau laolalta (Deuteronom 22,23.24). Logodna constituia o legatura legala, un angajament solemn care putea sa fie desfacut numai pe cai legale, adica prin divort (vezi Misna, Gittin 8,9, ed. Soncino a Talmudului, p. 389; Kiddushin 3: 7,8, ed. Soncino a Talmudului, p. 318, 320). S-a aflat insarcinata. [,,S-a aflat cu copil”, KJV; ,,S-a aflat avand in pantece”, G.Gal.]. Vezi la Luca 1,26-28. Ingerul se aratase Mariei dupa logodna ei (Luca 1,26,27), dar inainte de a ramane ea insarcinata (Luca 1,31,35). Cu privire la vizita ingerului la Maria, Iosif pare ca n-a stiut nimic decat mai tarziu. Aratarea ingerului lui Iosif n-a avut loc decat atunci cand el stia deja ca Maria era ,,insarcinata” (Matei 1,18.20). Duhul Sfant. Mai bine ,,Spiritul Sfant”. ,,Duh” deriva dintr-un cuvant vechi anglo-saxon. Expresiile traduse prin ,,Duhul Sfant” si ,,Spiritul Sfant” (Luca 11,13, etc.) sunt identice in limba greaca. Duhul Sfant este reprezentat ca Agentul prin care puterea creatoare si datatoare de viata a lui Dumnezeu este exercitata (cf. Geneza 1: 2; Iov 33,4; Ioan 3,3-8; Romani. 8,11; etc). Rolul Duhului Sfant in nasterea lui Isus este mai clar exprimat de Luca decat de Matei (Luca 1,35). Chiar prin mijlocirea Duhului Sfant ,,Cuvantul S-a facut trup” (Ioan 1,14) si Fiul Mariei putea fi numit ,,Fiul lui Dumnezeu” (vezi la Luca 1,35). Intr-un efort de a discredita pe Isus ca Mesia, iudeii au fabricat fictiunea ca El era un copil nelegitim (Ioan 8,41; 9,29). Dar este demn de observat ca invatatii iudei cei mai cultivati de astazi recunosc ca povestea aceea era o pura nascocire. Joseph Klausner, de exemplu, spune ca ,,nu exista temei istoric pentru traditia ’nasterii nelegitime’ a lui Isus” (Isus din Nazaret, p. 26). Intruparea lui Isus este un miracol sublim si de neinteles. El ,,avea chipul lui Dumnezeu” (Filipeni 2,6; Ioan 1,2), adorat de ostile ceresti si asezat pe tronul universului. Dar ca Imparat al slavei, El a ales sa ,,predea sceptrul in mainile Tatalui” (DA 22,23), ca sa poata ,,pentru putina vreme” sa fie facut ,,mai pe jos decat ingerii” (Evrei 2,7.8 RSV), ,,asemenea oamenilor” (Filipeni 2,7). Mai tarziu, El urma sa primeasca din nou ,,toata puterea” (Matei 28,18), sa fie ,,intronat in mijlocul adorarii ingerilor” (AA 38) si sa fie incoronat ,,cu slava si cinste” (Evrei 2,7 RSV; vezi si Isaia 52,13-15). Taina intruparii, insa, este cu mult depasita de taina iubirii care se pleaca si care i-a dat nastere (Ioan 3,16; Romani. 5,8; Galateni 2,20; 1 Ioan 4,9). ,,Taina evlaviei” este marea taina a tuturor timpurilor (1 Timotei 3,16). Vezi la Filipeni. 2,7.8; vezi nota aditionala la Ioan 1. |

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).
