# Základy studia Bible

## Proč přistupujeme k Bibli

> Jn.5:39-40

> You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have life.

The chief purpose of the book is to bring us to the Person. Martin Luther said we go to the cradle only for the sake of the baby; just so in Bible study, we do it not for its own sake but for fellowship with God.

> John R.W. Stott, Christ the Controversialist, InterVarsity Press 1978, pp.97, 104.

> The Jews to whom Jesus spoke [...] imagined that to possess Scripture was tantamount to possessing life. Hillel used to say, "He who has gotten to himself words of Torah has gotten to himself the life of the world to come." Their study was an end in itself. In this they were grievously deceived. [...]

> V samotném čtení Písma není žádná zásluha ani zisk, pokud nás nepřivede k Ježíši Kristu. Při každém čtení Bible je potřeba horlivě očekávat, že se takto můžeme setkat s Ježíšem.

## Přístupy k Božímu Slovu

Hearing and reading provide a telescopic view of the scripture while study and memorization provide a microscopic view of scripture. Meditating on the scriptures brings hearing, reading, studying and memorization together and cements the word in our minds.

### Slyšení

Lk.11:28 blessed are those who hear the word of God, and observe it.

### Čtení

Rev.1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy [...]

1 Tim.4:13 give attention to the public reading of Scripture [...]

### Scripture quotes are from the New American Standard Bible unless otherwise indicated

Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so.

2 Tim.2:15 Be diligent [KJV `Study'] to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth.

### Memorování

Ps.119:11 Thy word I have hid in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee.

### Meditování

Ps.1:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

The Navigators illustrate this by saying that as the thumb can touch all the fingers, we can meditate on the Word as we do any of the first four. Meditation is a key to revelation. A new Christian needs to hear and read the Bible more than they need to study and memorize it. This is so that they become familiar with the overall message of the Bible.

## Typy studia Bible

### Tématické studium

Zvolí se určité téma a procházejí se místa, která o tématu mluví. Využívají se přitom křížové odkazy a konkordance.

### Studium postavy

Studium života biblické postavy, např. Josefa v Gn 37-50.

### Vysvětlující studium

Studium určité pasáže: odstavce, kapitoly nebo knihy.

## Základy správného výkladu

### Obsah

Co text říká? Co text říká v originálním jazyce? Dávejte si pozor na definice. Nesnažte se "číst" něco, co text neříká.

### Souvislosti

What do the verses around it say? "Context is king" is the rule -- the passage must make sense within the structure of the entire passage and book.

### Odkazy

Co říkají ostatní verše k tomuto tématu v celé Bibli? Bůh nepopře sám sebe, proto naše interpretace musí obstát vzhledem ke zbytku Písma.

## Vysvětlující studium Matouše 6,1-18

Let's study together Mt.6:1-18. Read it to yourself, first looking for the key verse, the verse that sums up the whole passage. Think you have it? Test it by picking different places in the passage and asking yourself if they relate to the thought of the key verse. Once you find it, write it as Roman numeral One of your outline:

1. Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed

What does practicing your righteousness mean? Does the passage give any examples? What area of our lives is being addressed? Our motives! What sub-headings develop this thought?

1. When you give

2. When you fast

3. When you pray

A teď doplňte osnovu o konkrétní instrukce, jak se vyhnout špatným způsobům praktikování spravedlnosti:

1. When you give

   1. don't sound a trumpet. (how might someone sound a trumpet today?)

   2. do it secretly.

   3. etc.

## Jak používat konkordanci

### K nalezení konkrétního verše

1. Vyberte z verše klíčové slovo nebo slovo nejméně běžné.

2. Vyhledejte v konkordanci toto slovo (v základním tvaru).

3. Projděte seznam výskytů, dokud nenaleznete váš verš.

Find these verses:

1. Faithful are the wounds of a friend

2. We are ambassadors of Christ.

3. The story of the rich man and Lazarus.

### K tématickému studiu

Let's say you wanted to do a study of the word "redemption." First you would look up that word in the concordance and look up references listed for it. Then you could look up related words and references listed for them, e.g. "redeem, redeemed, ransom," even "buy" or "bought."

### K ujasnění slovního významu v řečtině a hebrejštině

What if you noticed a contradiction in the KJV between Mt.7:1 Judge not lest you be judged and 1 Cor.2:15 He that is spiritual judgeth all things. Maybe there are two different Greek words here, both being translated "judge" in English? (We're using Strong's from here out.)

1. Look up "judge".

2. Go down the column of entries to Mt.7:1. To the right is a number, 2919. This refers to the Greek word used. Write it down.

3. Now look up "judgeth".

4. U odkazu na 1K 2,15 je číslo 350.

5. Turn in the back to the Greek dictionary. (Remember, you're in the NT so the language is Greek, while the OT is Hebrew.) Compare the meaning of 2919 with the meaning of 350 and you have your answer!

### K nalezení významu jmen

Stejným způsobem můžete zjistit význam jmen v řečtině nebo hebrejštině.

Nalezněte tato jména a zjistěte jejich význam:

- Nábal

- Abigail

- Jozue

- Barnabáš
