Examples: Adam, end of the world, John 3:16 (?)(?)

Catholic lectionary for 31 October 2010

King James Version (en)

Wisdom of Solomon, Chapter 11,  verses 22-26

22 For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.
23 But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.
24 For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.
25 And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?
26 But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.

Wisdom of Solomon, Chapter 12,  verses 1-2

1 For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.
2 Therefore chastenest thou them by little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on thee, O Lord.

2 Thessalonians, Chapter 1,  verses 11-12

11 and therewithal useth diverse reasons for the comforting of them in persecution, whereof the chiefest is taken from the righteous judgment of God
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians, Chapter 2,  verses 1-2

1 He willeth them to continue steadfast in the truth received
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

1:11 All the good pleasure of his goodness - Which is no less than perfect holiness.


1:12 That the name - The love and power of our Lord may be glorified - Gloriously displayed in you.


2 


2:1 Our gathering together to him - In the clouds.


2:2 Be not shaken in mind - In judgment. Or terrified - As those easily are who are immoderately fond of knowing future things. Neither by any pretended revelation from the Spirit, nor by pretence of any word spoken by me.

Luke, Chapter 19,  verses 1-10

1 Of Zacchaeus a publican
1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

19 


19:1 He passed through Jericho - So that Zaccheus must have lived near the end of the town: the tree was in the town itself.And he was rich - These words seem to refer to the discourse in the last chapter, Luk 18:24-27, particularly to Luk 18:27.Zaccheus is a proof, that it is possible by the power of God for even a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.


19:2 The chief of the publicans - What we would term, commissioner of the customs. A very honourable as well as profitable place.


19:4 And running before - With great earnestness. He climbed up - Notwithstanding his quality: desire conquering honour and shame.


19:5 Jesus said, Zaccheus, make haste and come down - What a strange mixture of passions must Zaccheus have now felt, hearing one speak, as knowing both his name and his heart!


19:7 They all murmured - All who were near: though most of them rather out of surprise than indignation.


19:8 And Zaccheus stood - Showing by his posture, his deliberate, purpose and ready mind, and said, Behold, Lord, I give - I determine to do it immediately.


19:9 He also is a son of Abraham - A Jew born, and as such has a right to the first offer of salvation.


19:10  Mat 18:11.
