Below is an illustration of the typology I use for Moses and the Rock at the Massah and Meribah episode in Exodus 15. In order to make this OT passage work, I found that two NT passages were crucial: 1 Cor. 2:4 and John 4. In 1 Cor. 2, Paul identifies the [...]

Luke 23:31 sounds enigmatic. Jesus speaks those words as the “daughters of Jerusalem” meet him on the way to Golgotha. The immediate context of those words begin at v. 28
28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 [...]
It is not however limited to the Pseudo-Jubilee fragments on the Sacrifice of Isaac but brings out a lot more about the Aqedah than its title expresses. In fact, the article is also a review and discussion about what previous authors have said about how the story of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac has been retold in tradition. Particular attention is given on Vermes’ interpretation of the text from Qumran

Now I know why the fourth Sunday of Lent includes a reading about the anointing of David, the king. It is because it is Laetare Sunday. Laetare Sunday is like Gaudete Sunday of Lent where the mass vestment is colored rose. In Lent, the rose color is actually connected to a rose [...]

I have posted an initial reflection on the passage at The Mystical Geek. I still haven’t worked out the significance of the story [...]
