10 Leo the Great, Bishop
of Rome, 461 also known as Saint Leo the Great, was Bishop of Rome from
29 September 440 and died in 461. Pope Benedict
XVI said that Leo's papacy "...was undoubtedly one of the
most important in the Church's history."[1]
He
was a Roman aristocrat,
and was the first pope to have been called "the Great". He is perhaps
best known for having met Attila the Hun in
452 and persuading him to turn back from his invasion of Italy.

OLD TESTAMENT: Haggai
1: 15b - 2:9 (RCL)
Hagg 1:15 (NRSV)
In the second year of King Dari'us, 2:1 in the seventh month, on the
twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the prophet
Hag'gai, saying: 2 Speak now to Zerub'babel son of Sheal'tiel, governor of
Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehoz'adak, the high priest, and to the remnant of
the people, and say, 3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former
glory? How does it look to you now? Is it not in your sight as nothing? 4 Yet
now take courage, O Zerub'babel, says the LORD; take courage, O Joshua, son of
Jehoz'adak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the
LORD; work, for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts, 5 according to the
promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My spirit abides among you;
do not fear. 6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while,
I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land; 7 and I
will shake all the nations, so that the treasure of all nations shall come, and
I will fill this house with splendor, says the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is
mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts. 9 The latter splendor of
this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts; and in
this place I will give prosperity, says the LORD of hosts.
Job 19: 23 - 27a (C of
E, alt, for RCL)
Job 19:23 (NRSV)
"O that my words were written down!
O that they were
inscribed in a book!
24 O that with an
iron pen and with lead
they were engraved
on a rock forever!
25 For I know that
my Redeemer lives,
and that at the
last he will stand upon the earth;
26 and after my
skin has been thus destroyed,
then in my flesh I
shall see God,
27 whom I shall
see on my side,
and my eyes shall
behold, and not another.
2 Maccabees 7: 1 - 2, 9
- 14 (Roman Catholic)
7: (NRSV) It
happened also that seven brothers and their mother were arrested and were being
compelled by the king, under torture with whips and thongs, to partake of
unlawful swine’s flesh. 2 One of them, acting as their spokesman, said, “What
do you intend to ask and learn from us? For we are ready to die rather than
transgress the laws of our ancestors.”
7 After the first
brother had died in this way, they brought forward the second for their sport.
They tore off the skin of his head with the hair, and asked him, “Will you eat
rather than have your body punished limb by limb?” 8 He replied in the language
of his ancestors and said to them, “No.” Therefore he in turn underwent
tortures as the first brother had done. 9 And when he was at his last breath,
he said, “You accursed wretch, you dismiss us from this present life, but the
King of the universe will raise us up to an everlasting renewal of life,
because we have died for his laws.”
10 After him, the
third was the victim of their sport. When it was demanded, he quickly put out
his tongue and courageously stretched forth his hands, 11 and said nobly, “I
got these from Heaven, and because of his laws I disdain them, and from him I
hope to get them back again.” 12 As a result the king himself and those with
him were astonished at the young man’s spirit, for he regarded his sufferings
as nothing.
13 After he too
had died, they maltreated and tortured the fourth in the same way. 14 When he
was near death, he said, “One cannot but choose to die at the hands of mortals
and to cherish the hope God gives of being raised again by him. But for you
there will be no resurrection to life!”

NEW TESTAMENT: 2
Thessalonians 2: 1 - 5, 13 - 17 (RCL)
2
Thessalonians 2: 16 - 3: 5 (Roman Catholic)
2The 2:1 (NRSV) As
to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,
we beg you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed,
either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that
the day of the Lord is already here. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for
that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is
revealed, the one destined for destruction. 4 He opposes and exalts himself
above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in
the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that I
told you these things when I was still with you?
13 But we must
always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord,
because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification
by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 For this purpose he called
you through our proclamation of the good news, so that you may obtain the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold
fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or
by our letter.
16 Now may our
Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace
gave us eternal comfort and good hope, 17 comfort your hearts and strengthen
them in every good work and word. 3:1 Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for
us, so that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified
everywhere, just as it is among you, 2 and that we may be rescued from wicked
and evil people; for not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful; he will
strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the
Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will go on doing the things that we
command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the
steadfastness of Christ.
But the author thanks God for those who are faithful at
Thessalonica, because “God chose you” (v. 13)
for admission to his kingdom (“salvation”, v. 13,
“the glory of ... Christ”, v. 14),
to be forerunners (the “first fruits”, v. 13,
of the harvest were God’s) of other faithful who will come later, through being
set apart for him (“sanctification”) through the Holy Spirit and through their
faith. They will share with Christ in union with God. So, readers, remain
faithful to the doctrines (“traditions”, v. 15)
you received verbally and via authentic letters.
While Comments takes
the position, with CAB and NJBC, that Paul did not write 2
Thessalonians, some scholars insist that he was the author. Perhaps he wrote
the early part of Chapter 1.
In the early days of the
Church, many expected Christ to come again in their own lifetimes. Jesus’ words
found in the gospels can be read this way, but other interpretations were and
are possible (and likely).
Verse 1: Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17:
“But we do not want you to be uninformed ... about those who have died ...
through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. ... we who are
alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede
those who have died. For the Lord himself ... will descend from heaven, and the
dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be
caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so
we will be with the Lord forever”.
Verse 2: “not to be quickly shaken in mind or
alarmed”: NJBC offers not
suddenly to be shaken from your wits or be upset.
Verse 2: “spirit”: See also 1 Corinthians 14:12, 32 (“the
spirits of prophets”); 1 John 4:1-3 (“do
not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from
God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world”); 1
Thessalonians 5:19-20.
[ CAB]
Verse 2: “that the day of the Lord is already here”:
Ideas about when the return of Christ and the consequent resurrection of the
dead would happen, in the future or already in the present, evidently
circulated in the Church. In 2 Timothy 2:18,
false teachers claim that the resurrection has already happened. [ CAB]
Verses 3-12: Apocalyptic writing often
gives a sequence of events. Paul gives such a sequence in 1 Corinthians 15:23-28.
[ CAB]
Verses 3-4: See also Daniel 9:20-27 (70
weeks of years); 11:31; 12:11;
Matthew 24;
Mark 13 (the
Little Apocalypse);
Luke 21:5-36.
In Mark 13:14,
Jesus says: “‘But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought
not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the
mountains’”. [ NOAB]
Verse 3: “that day”: In 1 Thessalonians 5:2,
Paul says “the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night”. [ CAB] 2 Peter 3:10 says
“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass
away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the
earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed”. [ NOAB]
Verse 3: “the rebellion”: Inter-testamental Jewish apocryphal literature
(e.g. Jubilees 23:14-23)
uses this word to refer to the general revolt of Israel against God’s law. The
Protestant Reformers saw the lawless one as the Pope. Premillenialists down
through the years have identified the lawless one with the political or religious
opponent of the moment.
Historical-critical study
of this passage, however, insists that it be read together with all apocalyptic literature. It
should be regarded as a distinctive theological interpretation of God, the
cosmos, and Christ. This makes it unnecessary to ask whether the author meant
the restrainer (“the lawless one”) to be the Roman Empire, as many think – or
even Paul's mission to the Gentiles, as a few hold.
This passage is not
an apocalyptic allegory
of a historical moment in the life of Paul or the early church. Rather it is a
theological interpretation of the problem of history seen in the light of
Christ's lordship and the oneness of God. [ ICCTh]
Verse 3: “the lawless one”: The Septuagint translation of the
Old Testament has the Greek word used here, along with the word for rebellion to
translate the Hebrew word Belial, a figure associated with the
forces of darkness and often the name for the Devil. In the Qumran literature, Beliar is
the chief of the powers of darkness; he is mentioned in 2 Corinthians 6:15.
Note v. 9:
“The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan”. [ CAB] 2 Esdras says that the evil
in the world will become very widespread as the end times approach.
Verse 3: “the one destined for destruction”: See
Revelation 20:7-10:
“... When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison
and will come out to deceive the nations ... the devil who had deceived them
was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur ...”. That the Devil will be
destroyed after being allowed free rein for a period is found in various apocalyptic writings. [ CAB]
Verse 4: Apocalyptic texts tell of a
period before the God’s final victory when demonic forces will attempt to usurp
God’s authority. The godly will resist that attempt and be vindicated. [ CAB]
Verse 4: “temple of God”: Possibly the Christian
community. [ NJBC]
Verse 4: There are allusions here to the times of
Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-164 BC), who desecrated the Temple and set up a
statue of himself (as Olympian Zeus) in the Temple. See 1 Maccabees 2:15 and
Daniel 9:14.
This verse leaves unstated that the Day of the Lord is not at
hand. [ NJBC]
Verse 5: NJBC sees
“these things” to be basic Christian instruction: not details of a given apocalyptic scenario, but a
warning of what the faithful must be prepared to face, especially the threat to
their faith. See also Mark 13 (the
little apocalypse); Matthew 24-25;
Luke 21:5-36.
Verses 6-7: The author speaks of both the then-current
threat, a false prophet in the midst of the Thessalonian church, and the future
appearance of many false prophets before the elimination of evil forces in the
world.
Verse 6: NJBC offers
a rather different translation: You know the seizing power, so that the
rebel himself will be manifested at his own proper time. He says that the
Greek word he translates as seizing power means possessing and holding
fast but not restraining. He sees the current power as
being (close to) manic possession by a kind of demon or spirit which has shaken
the readers out of their wits: see v. 2 (as
he translates it).
Verse 6: “you know what is now restraining him”: The
first readers of this letter knew (i.e. experienced) what was “restraining
him”, we do not. There are three main conjectures, none of which is entirely
satisfactory:
·
the Roman empire and emperor
·
a supernatural power
·
the Devil himself. [ NOAB]
Comments assumes that it is the Devil, as
does CAB.
Verse 7: “the mystery of lawlessness”: The counterfeit
and opponent of the mystery of godliness. Colossians 1:26 speaks
of “ the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but
has now been revealed to his saints”. See also 1 Timothy 3:16.
[ NOAB] For
“lawlessness”, NJBC offers rebellion.
Verse 7: “is ... at work”: The Greek word, energeia ,
meaning is active, also occurs in v. 9 (“working”)
and v. 11 (“powerful”).
The present threat to stability in faith is a foretaste of the much worse
future one, which the Lord will triumphantly resolve.
Verse 7: “but only until the one who now restrains it
is removed”: NJBC offers but
the seizer must be for the present, until ousted. The seizer must be (or
try to) seize, possess, for the present until he is put out of the way (or
otherwise disappears).
Verse 8c: Christ will eliminate the lawless one by
coming again.
Verse 8: “breath of his mouth”: Isaiah 11:1-4 says
“A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse [whom we believe to be Jesus]
... with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the
meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and
with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked”. See also Job 4:9 and
Revelation 19:15.
[ CAB]
Verse 9: “power, signs, lying wonders”: In Mark 13:22,
Jesus says “‘False messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce signs
and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect”. Matthew 24:24 is
very similar. See also Acts 2:22 (Peter’s
speech on the Day of Pentecost). [ CAB]
Verse 13: “chose you as the first fruits”: NJBC says that called from
the beginning (offered in a footnote in the NRSV and found in various
manuscripts) is preferable. It stresses God’s initiative in calling us.
Verse 13: “first fruits”: James 1:18 says
“In fulfilment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so
that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures”. See also
Revelation 14:4.
[ CAB]
Verse 13: “sanctification”: The process of becoming
holy, set apart for God. See also 1 Thessalonians 4:3.
[ CAB]
Verse 14: “he called you”: The notion of God calling
those whom he chooses is also found in 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 4:7; 5:24.
[ CAB]
Verse 15: “stand firm and hold fast ...”: See also 1
Thessalonians 3:8;
1 Corinthians 11:2; 15:1-2.
[ CAB]
Verse 15: “traditions”: Doctrinal, moral and liturgical
teachings, as 1 Corinthians shows. [ NOAB]
Verse 15: “our letter”: NJBC says that the Greek
word, epistole, is generic here so the author supposes more than
one letter.
Verse 16: “good hope”: While this was a term used in
Greek mystery religions for bliss after death, in this Christian
context the “good hope” is refocused on the Lord’s second coming. [ NJBC]
GOSPEL: Luke 20: 27 -
38 (RCL)
Luke 20: 27 (28 - 33) 34 - 38
(Roman Catholic)
Luke 20:27 (NRSV)
Some Sad'ducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him 28 and
asked him a question, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother
dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise
up children for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers; the first
married, and died childless; 30 then the second 31 and the third married her,
and so in the same way all seven died childless. 32 Finally the woman also
died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the
seven had married her."
34 Jesus said to
them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; 35
but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the
resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 Indeed
they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God,
being children of the resurrection. 37 And the fact that the dead are raised
Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord
as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is God
not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive."
In vv. 28-33,
seeking to trap Jesus into speaking against the Law, they ask a question
about levirate marriage (levir is Latin for brother-in-law):
a man lived on (in a sense) in his son, so if a man died
without issue, his brother was required to marry his widow and give her a son,
thus continuing his lineage. “This age” (v. 34)
is the current era; “that age” (v. 35)
is the era to come, when Christ returns. In God’s kingdom, marriage will no
longer exist; those who are admitted into eternal life for their faith
(“considered worthy of a place ...”, v. 35)
will all be “children of God” (v. 36):
this will be their family relationship. They will be immortal (“cannot die
anymore”) and will be like “angels” (considered sexless in Jesus’ time).
In vv. 37-38,
Jesus argues for life after death (and resurrection) from the Pentateuch. In
the story of the burning “bush”, God tells Moses: “I am the God of Abraham
...”. Because God says is (not was), Abraham is
alive now. He died, so he must have been brought back to life, resurrected. God
is truly “God ... of the living” (v. 38).
In v. 39,
some scribes, believers in resurrection, are pleased with Jesus’ argument.
V. 40 says
that the Sadducees “no longer dared to ask ... [Jesus] another question”: Jesus
has evaded the trap.
The parallels are Matthew 22:23-33 and Mark 12:18-27. [ NOAB]
Verse 27: Acts 4:1-2 tells
us “While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain
of the temple, and the Sadducees came to them, much annoyed because they were
teaching the people and proclaiming that in Jesus there is the resurrection of
the dead.”. [ NOAB] In
Acts 23:6-10,
Paul says, at his trial before the Sanhedrin, that Jesus’ teaching in the
Temple was in continuity with that of the Pharisees. They did believe in life
after death. [ NJBC]
Verse 28: Deuteronomy 25:5-6 commands
regarding levirate marriage: “When brothers reside together, and one of them
dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not be married outside the
family to a stranger. Her husband's brother shall go in to her, taking her in
marriage, and performing the duty of a husband's brother to her, and the
firstborn whom she bears shall succeed to the name of the deceased brother, so
that his name may not be blotted out of Israel”. For examples of levirate
marriage, see Genesis 38:8.
[ NOAB]
Verse 35: Jesus seems to imply that only the dead who are godly will be
resurrected. [ BlkLk]
Verse 36: “angels”: The Sadducees did not believe in angels. Jesus makes
the risen godly equivalent to the heavenly beings who wait upon God. Acts 6:15 tells
us that the members of the council “saw that his [Stephen’s] face was like the
face of an angel”. See also Matthew 18:10.
Verse 38: “for to him all of them are alive”: For a very close parallel to
this expression, see 4 Maccabees 7:19.
[ NJBC] 4 Maccabees 16:25 says
“They knew also that those who die for the sake of God live to God, as do
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the patriarchs”. [ BlkLk]
Verse 39: In Mark 12:28,
a scribe also commends Jesus for his answer. [ NOAB] Scribes were official
interpreters of the Law. [ CAB]
