Jesus feeds his betrayer. As one commentator has observed, in Luke it seems Jesus is always at a meal, on his way to a meal, or coming back from a meal. Simon’s mother-in-law feeds Jesus (4:39), Levi throws a “great banquet” for him (5:29), various Pharisees feed him on three occasions (7:36-50; 11:37-53; 14:1-24), and … Continue reading “Luke 22:1-27 Commentary by Greg Carey”

25Entonces habrá señales en el sol, en la luna y en las estrellas, y en la tierra angustia de las gentes, confundidas a causa del bramido del mar y de las olas. 26Los hombres quedarán sin aliento por el temor y la expectación de las cosas que sobrevendrán en la tierra, porque las potencias de … Continue reading “San Lucas 21:25-36 Comentario por Diana Rocco Tedesco”

Estar Atentos, Erguirse y Comenzar a Caminar hacia la Liberación… Estamos comenzando el tiempo de adviento según el calendario litúrgico. En este primer domingo de adviento tenemos un texto que podemos ubicar en el género literario apocalíptico. Es de suma importancia enmarcar un texto bíblico al leer la Biblia, ya que en ella se encuentran … Continue reading “San Lucas 21:25-36 Comentario por Pablo Manuel Ferrer”

Advent is a season that messes with our sense of time. While we typically live with a fairly linear view of time — one event coming after another — the church’s liturgical and lectionary calendar is cyclical — patterns of events repeating themselves. For this reason, the church year that begins in Advent puts in … Continue reading “Luke 21:25-36 Commentary by David Lose”

Charles Dickens is said to have said, “Train up a fig tree in the way it should go, and when you are old sit under the shade of it.” This phrase has been adopted by greenhouses, landscapers, and environmental movements; it has been employed as an exhortation to patience1, to prudence and planning, and even … Continue reading “Luke 21:25-36 Commentary by Karl Jacobson”

How is it possible, a seminarian wondered, to reconcile Luke’s image of Jesus’ eschatological return “with power and great glory” (Luke 21:27b) to the Christmassy reports of the infant Jesus, tender and mild, awaiting us at the end of the Advent season? And, by the way, he continued, aren’t we supposed to be getting ready … Continue reading “Luke 21:25-36 Commentary by Robert Hoch”

Jesús nunca prometió que sería fácil seguirle. Siguiendo su viaje hacia Jerusalén por la temporada larga de Pentecostés se ha sentido más como una experiencia, probando a Jesús y sus seguidores, incluidos nosotros. Como Isaías (50:7) y Ezequiel (21:1-2) del pasado, Jesús “afirmó su rostro para ir a Jerusalén” (Lucas 9:51) mientras que sus discípulos, … Continue reading “San Lucas 21:5-19 Comentario por David Tiede”

Las señales de los últimos días incluirán “guerras y rumores de guerras” (Mt 24:6; Mc 13:7) así como “grandes terremotos…hambres y pestilencias” (Lc 21:11). Estos versículos me hacen pensar en el terremoto en Haití, en el tsunami en Japón, en el hambre que actualmente sufre tanta gente por todas partes del mundo, y en la … Continue reading “San Lucas 21:5-19 Comentario por William A. Andrews”

Jesus never promised it would be easy to follow him. Tracing his journey to Jerusalem through the long season of Pentecost has felt more like a Lenten ordeal, testing Jesus and his followers, including us. Like Isaiah (50:7) and Ezekiel (21:1-2) of old, Jesus “set his face to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51), while his … Continue reading “Luke 21:5-19 Commentary by David Tiede”
