This is a scene that ought not to have been cut so short. This is a scene that ought not to have been cut so short. The amputation of the end deforms the scene itself. Read another ten verses, at least. And read a few more on the front end, while you’re at it. Jesus … Continue reading “Luke 21:5-19 Commentary by Richard Swanson”

Whenever a disaster strikes, it doesn’t take long for some prominent Christians to blame it on the secularization or moral permissiveness of society. On a September 13, 2001, appearance on The 700 Club, Rev. Jerry Falwell blamed the 9/11 terrorist attacks on certain groups and organizations he characterized as promoting “an alternative lifestyle” and trying … Continue reading “Luke 21:5-19 Commentary by Gilberto Ruiz”

El evangelista dice que los saduceos negaban la resurrección de los muertos y en Hechos de los Apóstoles se añade que para ellos no había ángeles ni espíritus (23:8). El doctor René Krüger (en su Estudio Exegético-Homilético 056 — Noviembre de 2004 publicado en el sitio en Internet del Instituto Universitario ISEDET www.isedet.edu.ar) explica que … Continue reading “San Lucas 20:27-38 Comentario por Andrés Albertsen”

En el capítulo 20 de San Lucas encontramos a Jesús en el templo. Está enseñando, y la oposición de los líderes religiosos se intensifica. Por supuesto, no nos sorprende. Después de su entrada triunfal en Jerusalén (19:28-40), llega al templo y lo purifica, corriendo a los que allí vendían y compraban. Por eso, “los principales … Continue reading “San Lucas 20:27-38 Comentario por William A. Andrews”

Jesus is having another argument.  That is not unusual, especially not in Luke, where he has been arguing at least since he was nearly at the age of bar mitzvah and he stayed behind in the Temple to argue with the teachers. This argument, like all the others, is an argument about Torah. This also … Continue reading “Luke 20:27-38 Commentary by Richard Swanson”

This passage, quite frankly, most likely will sound odd, archaic, and even irrelevant to most of our hearers.1 But opening up its narrative, historical, and contemporary implications may assist those who want to preach it, even — and perhaps especially — on All Saints’ Sunday, on which it happens to fall this year. Narrative Elements … Continue reading “Luke 20:27-38 Commentary by David Lose”

“Teacher, order your disciples to stop” (Luke 19:39). Luke’s account of Jesus’ triumphal entry emphasizes Jesus’ refusal to avoid the public eye. With this passage before us, preachers may invite congregations to consider the temptation to back out of the spotlight when faithfulness to God’s way raises the specter of resistance. Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem … Continue reading “Luke 19:29-44 Commentary by Greg Carey”

El texto que tenemos delante tiene la forma literaria de un relato de la entrada procesional de un rey en ironía.[1] [¿Buscas un comentario sobre Lucas 22:14–23:56? Fíjate en el comentario para el Domingo de la Pasión de Ediberto López Rodríguez.] Como género literario este tipo de relatos tiene cierta flexibilidad, pero en general presenta … Continue reading “San Lucas 19:28-40 Comentario por Ediberto López Rodríguez”

In today’s Gospel text, we find a man who must enjoy living on the edge. Jesus is a mysterious figure throughout the gospels, but here in Luke we get a distinctive glimpse into the ministry of our Lord. (One of the obvious mysteries that should be highlighted is the absence of palms in this story … Continue reading “Luke 19:28-40 Commentary by Michael Joseph Brown”
