Mateus 23:22

Listen to Mateus 23:22
22 e quem jurar pelo céu jura pelo trono de Deus e por aquele que nele está assentado.

Mateus 23:22 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 23:22

And he that shall swear by heaven
As the Jews were wont to do in common, but did not look upon such an oath as obligatory on them; (See Gill on Matthew 5:34), though such an one

sweareth by the throne of God;
for heaven is God's throne, where he sits, and, in an eminent manner, displays the glory of his majesty:

and by him that sitteth thereon,
by God himself. Thus swearing by anything that has any relation to God, is implicitly swearing by him; and therefore ought to be considered as binding, as if he was expressed in it; since an appeal cannot be made to things inanimate, nor indeed to any creature, but to God, the searcher of hearts.

Mateus 23:22 In-Context

20 Portanto, quem jurar pelo altar jura por ele e por tudo quanto sobre ele está;
21 e quem jurar pelo santuário jura por ele e por aquele que nele habita
22 e quem jurar pelo céu jura pelo trono de Deus e por aquele que nele está assentado.
23 Ai de vós, escribas e fariseus, hipócritas! porque dais o dízimo da hortelã, do endro e do cominho, e tendes omitido o que há de mais importante na lei, a saber, a justiça, a misericórdia e a fé; estas coisas, porém, devíeis fazer, sem omitir aquelas.
24 Guias cegos! que coais um mosquito, e engulis um camelo.
