Este pasaje nos enseña sobre el discipulado conforme al plan y a la manera de Dios y sobre la actitud correcta ante el rechazo. Descripción de la Escena Jesús se dirige hacia Jerusalén, pues el tiempo para cumplir su misión ha llegado (v. 51). Envía “mensajeros delante de él” a hacer los preparativos para que … Continue reading “San Lucas 9:51-62 Comentario por Awilda González”

Following his “temptation” in the Judean wilderness, Luke 4:14 reports that Jesus returns to Galilee to begin his ministry. Now in 9:51, Jesus “set his face to go to Jerusalem.” It’s a critical turning point in the Gospel. In the previous Narrative Lectionary reading, I noted that it is closely linked to his Transfiguration. We … Continue reading “Luke 9:51-62 Commentary by Mark G. Vitalis Hoffman”

Commentary for these texts is forthcoming. PRAYER OF THE DAY Lord Jesus, Great Teacher,You place tremendous responsibility upon those who follow you. You demand more than we are often willing to give. You promise no safety, only that the way will be rough. Make us ready and willing to walk your rocky path and carry your subversive word … Continue reading “Luke 9:51-62 Commentary by Working Preacher”

The gospel reading sounds more fitting for the liturgical season of Lent than post-Easter. But in this lectionary year, Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem is placed near the beginning of Ordinary Time, or Pentecost Season, in which the focus is on the Christian life. From the last Sunday of June to the end of October, we … Continue reading “Luke 9:51-62 Commentary by Marilyn Salmon”

In this passage Jesus sets out on his final journey to Jerusalem. He has warned the disciples of his impending suffering there (9:21-27, 44-45), but even though they confess their faith in him as Messiah (9:18-20) and see him transfigured with Moses and Elijah (9:28-36), they cannot begin to imagine the horror of Jesus’ last … Continue reading “Luke 9:51-62 Commentary by Michael Rogness”

The Lukan travel narrative (chapters 9-19) begins with a notice of Jesus’ resolve to go to Jerusalem and his inhospitable reception by a Samaritan village. Luke sets the stage: “Now it happened that as the time was drawing near for him to be taken up, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51). The … Continue reading “Luke 9:51-62 Commentary by Mikeal C. Parsons”

Even with the Narrative Lectionary, we will still need to provide some context to appreciate today’s passage that begins with the Transfiguration. If possible, you might consider expanding the reading to include 9:18-51, since this section is interwoven in a number of ways. (I’ve bolded the words/topics that provide the links.) Verse 18 in the … Continue reading “Luke 9:28-45 Commentary by Mark G. Vitalis Hoffman”

Show us what you desire of us and how to broadcast your love to the world, for the sake of the one who keeps company with the prophets … Continue reading “Luke 9:28-45 Commentary by Working Preacher”

El relato de la transfiguración de Jesús crea un escenario enigmático, desafiante, que nos invita a discernir cuál es el mensaje para las comunidades de hoy. Nuestro texto se ubica después de las palabras de Jesús que siguieron a la confesión de Pedro (v.18-21), al primer anuncio de la pasión (v.22), a la perícopa en … Continue reading “San Lucas 9:28-36 [37-43a] Comentario por Violeta Rocha Areas”

En el monte de la Transfiguración se inicia la mirada hacia el “lugar llamado de la Calavera” (Lc 23:33), el sitio de la crucifixión. Jesús muestra su gloria mientras la voz del Padre lo confirma como Hijo. La mirada de Jesús se fija en el camino a la cruz. Este domingo es una buena ocasión … Continue reading “San Lucas 9:28-36 [37-43a] Comentario por Francisco Javier Giotía Padilla”
