La mesa Para este domingo de Pentecostés nos encontramos ante una parábola con la que Jesús nos muestra que era un cuidadoso observador de las situaciones cotidianas de la vida. A Jesús le gustaba observar y conocer a la gente que estaba a su alrededor. De esa manera también aprendía de ellos, aprendía a quererlos, … Continue reading “San Lucas 14:1, 7-14 Comentario por Ángela del Consuelo Trejo Haager”

Para Comenzar a Pensar Debemos tener en mente que el Evangelio de Lucas presta especial atención a la relación entre los fariseos y Jesús. Para este relato en particular, es importante notar la observación de Jesús que se registra en un capítulo previo al que nos ocupa: “¡Ay de vosotros, fariseos!, que amáis las primeras … Continue reading “San Lucas 14:1, 7-14 Comentario por Marisa Strizzi”

Giving great honor to those who are distinguished. Ignoring those who are ordinary or “defective.” Seating charts that are set up to emphasize the high status of some and the lower status of others. We would like to think that these social issues are descriptions of the first-century world of the New Testament and not … Continue reading “Luke 14:1, 7-14 Commentary by Jeannine K. Brown”

My family sits down together at dinnertime most evenings. It’s a time to catch up with the activities of the day, as well as just a respite from the busyness of life. No texting is allowed at the table. It’s important for us to touch base with one another in this way to ensure that … Continue reading “Luke 14:1, 7-14 Commentary by Emerson Powery”

Outwardly, the pericope for this Sunday seems to be offering just wise advice. Do X and you will profit. It would be simple to read the text as good table manners for living wisely. Luke, however, gives us some reasons to believe that he does not want us to read the text quite in this … Continue reading “Luke 14:1, 7-14 Commentary by David Schnasa Jacobsen”

Nos encontramos con Jesús subiendo a Jerusalén; su pasión está cerca. La composición lucana nos presenta, de forma única, a los fariseos advirtiendo a Jesús sobre Herodes Antipas y sus intenciones, y la respuesta de Jesús (vv.31-33). Pero también Lucas nos ofrece lo que se llama el apóstrofe a Jerusalén (vv.34-35), que encontramos de forma … Continue reading “San Lucas 13:31-35 Comentario por Violeta Rocha Areas”

Dentro de la estructura del evangelio de Lucas, este relato se encuentra en la sección denominada “camino a Jerusalén” (9:51-19:28), en la que Jesús está precisamente en camino. Este trayecto es largo en Lucas; es como un hilo conductor del evangelio. En este texto Jesús quiere remarcar “su camino” frente a otros caminos que pudieran … Continue reading “San Lucas 13:31-35 Comentario por Elizabeth Gareca Gareca”

The passage consists of two pericopes, “The Warning against Herod” (Luke 13:31-3) and “The Lament over Jerusalem” (13:34-35). They are located within the so-called Travel Narrative in the Gospel of Luke (9:51-19:27). Ever since 9:51, Jesus and his followers are on a long journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. Although the section is designated a “narrative,” … Continue reading “Luke 13:31-35 Commentary by Arland J. Hultgren”

Luke 13:31-35 begins with a warning from the Pharisees for Jesus about Herod’s plan to kill him, but it becomes a reflection on the nature of Jesus’ life and mission (which reach their ultimate goal in his death) and then on the tragic role played by Jerusalem in the life of Jesus and other prophets. … Continue reading “Luke 13:31-35 Commentary by Scott Shauf”

This text reminds us of Jesus’ daily ministry in the face of his approaching passion. Context: In Luke 9:51, Jesus begins his journey to Jerusalem where he knew that he would face opposition from religious leaders and eventually death (9:22). Along the way, he demonstrates the presence of God’s kingdom through repeated deliverance from demons … Continue reading “Luke 13:31-35 Commentary by Ruth Anne Reese”
