55、“祂用右手按着我”表示那时祂所唤起的生命。主用右手按着他，因为交流是通过手的触摸来实现的。其原因在于，心智的生命，进而身体的生命投入手臂，并通过手臂投入手。正因如此，主用手摸那些被祂复活得生命，并痊愈的人(马可福音1:31, 41; 7:32-33; 8:22-26; 10:13, 16; 路加福音5:12-13; 7:14; 8:15; 22:51)。同样，门徒看见变了形像的耶稣后，就脸伏于地(马太福音17:6-7)。其起源本身，是因为主与人的同在是一种附加，因而是藉着连续性的结合；这种连续性随着人爱主，也就是遵行祂的诫命而变得更近、更充分。由此明显可知，“祂用右手按着他”表示以祂的生命唤起他。
55. But He laid His right hand on me. This symbolizes life then infused from the Lord.
The Lord laid His right hand on him because a communication is effected through the touch of the hands. That is because the life of the mind and so of the body projects itself into the arms and through them into the hands. It is on this account that the Lord touched with His hand the people He brought back to life and healed (Mark 1:31, 41; 7:32-33; 8:22-26; 10:13, 16).
The fundamental reason for this is that the Lord's presence in a person is an adjunction, thus a conjunction by contiguity, and this contiguity becomes closer and fuller in the measure that the person loves the Lord, which is to say, as he keeps His commandments.
From these few observations it can be seen that the Lord's laying His right hand on John means, symbolically, that He infused His life into him.
55. 'And He put His right hand upon me' signifies life then inspired by Him. The Lord put His right hand upon him because a communication is effected by the touch of hands. The cause of this is that the life of the mind and consequently of the body puts itself forth into the arms and through them into the hands. It is in consequence of this that the Lord with His hand touched those whom He revived into life, and healed (Mark 1:31, 41; 7:32-33; 8:22-26; 10:13, 16; Luke 5:12-13; 7:14; 18:15; 22:51); and that in like manner He touched the disciples, after they saw Jesus transformed, and fell on their face (Matthew 17:6-7). The origin itself [of this] is because the presence of the Lord with men is an adjunction, thus a conjunction by means of what is contiguous, and this contiguity becomes nearer and fuller in the proportion that a man loves the Lord, that is, does His precepts. From these few considerations it can be established that by putting His right hand upon him is signified inspiring His own life in him.
55. And He laid His right hand upon me, signifies life then inspired from Him. The reason why the Lord "laid His right hand upon him," is, because communication is effected by the touch of the hands. The reason is that the life of the mind, and thence of the body, puts itself forth into the arms, and through them into the hands. On this account:
The Lord touched with His hands those whom He restored to life and healed, (Mark 1:31, 41; 7:32-33; 8:22-26; 10:13, 16; Luke 5:12-13; 7:14; 18:15; 22:51).
And in like manner:
After His disciples saw Jesus transfigured, and they fell on the face, (Matthew 17:6-7).
The origin of this is, because the presence of the Lord with man is adjunction, and thus conjunction by contiguity; and this contiguity is near and fuller in proportion as man loves the Lord, that is, does His commandments. From these few things it may appear, that by "laying His right hand upon him," is signified inspiring him with His life.
55. "Et imposuit dextram Suam manum super me," significat vitam ab Ipso tunc inspiratam. Quod Dominus "imposuerit dextram manum" super illum, est quia communicatio fit per tactum manuum; causa est, quia vita mentis et inde corporis se exserit in brachia, et per illa in manus.
Ex eo est quod Dominus illos quos in vitam resuscitavit et sanavit, manu tetigerit Marcus 1:31, 41; 7:32-33; 8:22-26; 210:13, 16; Luca 5:12-13; 7:14; 18:15; 22:51);
et quod similiter Discipulos, postquam viderunt Jesum transformatum; et super faciem ceciderunt, (Matthaeus 17:6-7).
Ipsa origo est, quia praesentia Domini apud hominem est adjunctio, ita conjunctio per contiguum; et haec contiguitas fit proprior et plenior, sicut homo amat Dominum, hoc est, facit praecepta Ipsius. Ex his paucis constare potest, quod per "imponere dextram Suam manum" super illum, significetur vitam Suam ei inspirare.
