This week's Gospel: 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time

The actual Latin source is Codex Sangallensis 56,
but this is believed to be an ultra-faithful copy of Victor's Codex Fuldensis Gospel.

This week’s Gospel as in the Codex Fuldensis Gospel: 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Using data publicly available from:
http://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Calendar/2009/Feb09.shtml
and The Sunday Missal to cross-check.
This Week's Gospel: Mark 1: 21 - 28
(1st-Feb-2009) 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B

He taught them with authority.
As with last week’s reading, the account in Mark is not witnessed directly. Though the verse referenced in the quote above is witnessed indirectly, it is in an entirely different context, taken from Matthew. So, then, the Matthean context is here given, and comprises the entire capitulum following.

XLIII. Conparatio in his omnibus de sapiente et insipiente ædificatoribus.
(Comparison to all these of wise and foolish builders.)

43: 1
Every one therefore that heareth these words, and doth them,
shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and they beat upon that house,
and it fell not,
for it was founded on a rock.
2
And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not,
shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and they beat upon that house,
and it fell,
and great was the fall thereof.
3
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words,
the people were in admiration concerning his doctrine.
4
For he was teaching them as one having power,
and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
