In this week's edition of There's More in the Gospel than Meets the Eye,
Jill Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the
Sixth Sunday of the Year. Listen:
Gospel Mt
5:20-22A,27-28,33-34, 37
Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, unless
your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not
enter the kingdom of heaven.
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You
shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever
is angry with brother will be liable to judgment.
“You have heard that it
was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks
at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
“Again
you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but
make good to the Lord all that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all. Let
your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil
one.”
