Latest Episodes:

Clean and Unclean Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

Ritual purity, which depends on the Temple and its customs to relieve people of their burdens, falls short of the cleaness demanded in the Bible. Does touching something really make you unclean, or was the Law given to show that you are not clean and you cannot make yourself clean? At this point, whether or not we got the point is a mute point, since the Temple has been destroyed.

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss the Gospel of Matthew 9:18-26.

The Bridegroom Apr 11, 2019

Show notes

When the disciples of John ask why the disciples of Jesus do not fast, they betray their disregard for the Lord’s unique station as the Messiah and earthly representative of the Father. Jesus is their king who brings the Law of the Kingdom. As the Bridegroom, he is the head of the feast and the reason for the gathering. He is also the only person able to do what that Law requires. As such, the only reason to mourn in his presence is if you do not like what he has to say.

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss the Gospel of Matthew 9:14-17.

The Tax Collector Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

By reason of his profession, Matthew, like Paul (who persecuted the church), was sent to preach the gospel as one despised by his addressees. How could a Jew who collaborates with Roman authorities approach his fellow Jews to collect taxes for their occupier? Worse, how could the Lord send such a person to preach his Gospel?

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss the Gospel of Matthew 9:9-13.

The Forgiveness of Sins Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

Students of the Bible often wrongly emphasize the sins of individuals over and above the forgiveness of sins as a general proclamation of the King. When this proclamation is contextualized in the New Testament, it pertains to redemption—literally, ones purchase in the marketplace—and the paying off, or “forgiveness” of former debts. The news of this forgiveness is a warning: yes, your debts have been covered, but now, you are in debt to a new Master, duty bound to follow the rules of his household.

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 9:1-8.

On Caesar’s Turf Mar 21, 2019

Show notes

When Jesus crosses the Roman sea in Matthew, he brings the good news of the Matthean genology—of the liberation of God’s people from captivity—to the gentiles living under the control of Caesar. The Gadarene exorcism consolidates a pattern in Matthew: those whom we assume to be wrong are the very ones who obey the command of the Master.

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 8:28-34.
