This is the fourth of five weeks that the Revised Common Lectionary spends ringing the changes on John 6, where Jesus proclaims that he is the Bread of Life — though in this particular excerpt he sticks to saying he is the living bread that came down from heaven.” (John 6:51 NRSV) Ringing the Changes […]
Monday Meditation: RCL Year B, 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, John 6:35, 41-51
This week’s lectionary Gospel text (John 6:35, 41-51) starts with the same verse we ended with last week. Then, oddly, it skips four verses before continuing the story.

Monday Meditation: RCL Year B, 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
The Revised Common Lectionary has given us a pair of texts this Sunday (Mark 6:30-34, 53-56). They are shoved together so they appear to be one story, but actually they are separated by a whole eventful day. Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 Story 1: The disciples return from their mission trip and Jesus takes them away for […]
