(16th-December-2007) 3rd Sunday of Advent, Year A

Are you the one who is to come, or have we got to wait for someone else?
The reading is contained in the first seven paragraphs of the caput listed. The reading, though closely following Matthew, is actually taken principally from Luke, with only fragments from Matthew.

LXIIII. Ubi Iohannes de carcere misit ad Ihesum interrogare eum.
(Where John from prison, sent to Jesus, to interrogate Him.)

Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, calling to him two of his disciples he sent them to the Lord, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and hurts and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.

And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached, and blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalised in me.

And when they went their way, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately are in the houses of kings.

But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. This then is he of whom it is written:
Behold I send my angel prior to thy appearance,
who has prepared thy way before thee.

Verily I say to you: Amongst those that are born of men, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
