FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
By Whose Authority?
Dt 18:15-20 • 1 Cor 7:32-35 • Mk 1:21-28
T
he Scribes were a very revered group of men. They were
the authorized biblical scholars of Jesus' day. It was their
task to read and interpret the Scriptures and then create
rules and laws for everyday living. When necessary, as people
broke these rules and laws, the Scribes would also act as judges. If
no rule or law covered a situation brought before them, they would
debate and then make a rule for the situation. These rules were
expected to be memorized by students wishing to become Scribes.
When sitting in judgment or when asked for an official opinion,
the Scribes would begin, “There is a teaching that says ...” The
Scribes would footnote everything and
refer to every Scripture passage
necessary to give authority to their
opinion.
As we are still at the beginning of our Church year and just
beginning to explore the person of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, we
might well ask what authority we give Jesus in our lives versus
how much authority we try to retain for ourselves.
Jesus taught primarily by action. We do not know what He
taught in the synagogue that day, but we do know what He
did. We might well ask what we teach by our actions. Every
person who sees us and our behavior is our student. Everyone
studies us. So, what are we teaching? What do our children
learn from our behavior? What do our spouses learn? What do
our friends learn? What do our
coworkers learn?
The Temple was the place for worship
and sacrifice. In the synagogue,
however, in addition to praying,
people read and discussed the
Scriptures. So, while the synagogue
was a place of prayer, it was also a
place of learning. There was an
individual in charge, and it was his
role to ask any competent male to
speak about the Scripture just read.
At the beginning of Jesus' mission to
announce the Kingdom, Mark places
Jesus in the synagogue in Capernaum
where it is Jesus who is asked to
speak.
Two weeks ago we heard from Paul
that as we grow in our spirituality we
begin to shape our lives and behaviors
around our awareness of God. God is
the ultimate authority, so does the
shaping of our behavior reveal that we
have given Him authority over us? Or,
do we try to become an authority unto
ourselves?
Paul's passage today from 1
Corinthians sounds a bit strange,
especially to married couples. Paul is
clearly giving some preference to
celibacy for the unmarried and those
are widowed. Why? Paul, as
