Lectionary Readings for Sunday 5 July 2015
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Ezekiel 2:1-5. In 593BC Ezekiel, born into a Judean priestly family
and taken into Babylonian exile, is 30 years old when he sees a vision of God.
The Lord calls Ezekiel to deliver his condemnation to the stubborn and
rebellious Israelites, even though they may not listen to the words of the
prophet.
2 Corinthians 12:2-10 Paul will not boast of his own achievements, but
mentions visions and revelations from the Lord – one of “a man caught up in
Paradise, hearing things he cannot tell”. He admits to a personal weakness “a
thorn in my flesh”, endured because it enables him to experience the grace and
power of Christ.
Mark 6:1-13 After crossing back into Galilee, Jesus preaches at the Synagogue
in his home town of Nazareth. But his teaching is not accepted, for the people
know him merely as the carpenter-son of a local family, and have no faith in
him. Later he sends the twelve disciples out in pairs, to preach repentance and
to heal the sick. They are told to travel light and depend on God. Chris Durrant
