Con el bautismo comienza al mismo tiempo nuestra liberación y la nueva responsabilidad que tenemos los cristianos hacia la historia del Reino que llegará, pero que ya está aquí, según una de las fórmulas más paradójicas del cristianismo neotestamentario. Juan nos responsabiliza por nuestras acciones en este tiempo que ya es el tiempo de Dios: … Continue reading “San Lucas 3:7-18 Comentario por Diana Rocco Tedesco”

Luke 3:7-18 Commentary by David Lose
It would appear, according to Luke, that John is an “old school” preacher, delivering in these verses a sermon composed of “three points and a poem.” Point 1: Eschatological warning (verses 7-9). Point 2: Ethical exhortation (verses 10-14). Point 3: Messianic expectation (verse 15-17). Poem — Okay, … Continue reading “Luke 3:7-18 Commentary by David Lose”
Luke 3:7-18 Commentary by Karl Jacobson
The reading from Luke for this week follows on the heels of the summary of John’s preaching of a “baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,” and the claim that his proclamation, which sets the table for the arrival of Jesus, was what Isaiah promised centuries prior. John’s preaching is harsh and perhaps surprising; … Continue reading “Luke 3:7-18 Commentary by Karl Jacobson”
Luke 3:7-18 Commentary by Judith Jones
In last Sunday’s Gospel reading, John the Baptist issued a ringing call to prepare the way for the Lord. He proclaimed a baptism of repentance leading to forgiveness of sins. In today’s reading, John spells out what repentance looks like: when peoples’ hearts and minds are changed, their actions change too. Words are empty if … Continue reading “Luke 3:7-18 Commentary by Judith Jones”
Luke 3:1-22 Commentary by Elisabeth Johnson
Luke’s readers have been well prepared for John the Baptizer’s arrival on the scene. Three authoritative speeches have already announced John’s role in the events that are unfolding, echoing the words of Malachi concerning the messenger God will send to “prepare the way” (Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6). The angel Gabriel speaks to Zechariah about the child … Continue reading “Luke 3:1-22 Commentary by Elisabeth Johnson”

San Lucas 3:1-6 Comentario por Diana Rocco Tedesco
1En el año decimoquinto del imperio de Tiberio César, siendo Poncio Pilatos gobernador de Judea, Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, su hermano Felipe tetrarca de Iturea y de la provincia de Traconite, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilinia, 2y siendo Sumos sacerdotes Anás y Caifás, vino palabra de Dios a Juan hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto. … Continue reading “San Lucas 3:1-6 Comentario por Diana Rocco Tedesco”
San Lucas 3:1-6 Comentario por Pablo Manuel Ferrer
Los Contextos que Marcan el Caminar de los Pueblos En este texto podemos decir que el evangelista trata de exponer el contexto hacia el cual llega la palabra de Dios. Muchas veces decimos, y con razón, que es de suma importancia tener en cuenta el contexto para entender un hecho, un texto. Si bien estamos … Continue reading “San Lucas 3:1-6 Comentario por Pablo Manuel Ferrer”
Luke 3:1-6 Commentary by David Lose
Note to the preacher: since the lectionary splits Luke’s account of John the Baptist’s ministry between the Second and Third Sundays of Advent, you may want to read the whole of Luke 3:1-18 now. From History to Confession Of the four Evangelists, Luke operates with the most self-conscious sense of himself as a historian. For … Continue reading “Luke 3:1-6 Commentary by David Lose”
