This Week's Gospel: Mark 1: 12 - 15
(1st-Mar-2009) 1st Sunday of Lent, Year B

Jesus was tempted by Satan, and the angels looked after him.
The account found here, though winessing the same incident, is almost entirely reported according to Matthew, though there are about nine words,(7 Latin) from Luke, and five words, (3 Latin) from Mark. The tale is embodied in the capitulum following.

XV. Ubi Ihesus ductus est ab spiritu in desertum.
(Where Jesus is lead by the spirit into the desert.)


54: 1
Then Jesus was led by the spirit in the desert,
to be tempted by the devil.
2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,
afterwards he was hungry.
3
And the tempter coming said to him:
If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
But he answered and said:
It is written,
Not in bread alone doth man live,
but in every word that proceedeth
from the mouth of God.
4
Then the devil took him up into the holy city,
and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
and said to him:
If thou be the Son of God,
cast thyself down,
for it is written, that he hath given his angels charge over thee,
and in their hands shall they bear thee up,
lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said to him:
It is written again:
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
5
Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain,
and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world,
and the glory of them, and said to him:
All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt worship me.
Then Jesus saith to him:
Begone, Satan: it is written:
The Lord thy God shalt thou worship,
and him only shalt thou serve.
6
And all the temptation being ended, then the devil left him for a time;
and he was with beasts, and behold angels came and ministered to him.

This Week's Gospel: Mark 2: 1 - 12
(22nd-Feb-2009) 7th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B

The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.
The account found here, though winessing the same incident, is mainly reported according to Luke, though the first and last dozen words are from Matthew. Only a single word, ‘four’, the number of men carrying the litter, is taken from Mark. The tale is embodied in the capitulum following.

LIIII. Ubi curavit paralyticum quem deposuerunt per tectum.
(Where He cured a paralytic whom they lowered through the roof.)


54: 1
And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.
2
And behold, four men brought in a bed a man who had the palsy:
and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him before Jesus.
3
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in,
because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof and let him down
through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus.
4
When he saw their faith, he said:
Believe, child, thy sins are forgiven thee.
5
And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying:
Who is this who speaketh blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
6
And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering he said to them:
What is it you think in your hearts?
Which is easier to say:
Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say:
Arise and walk?
7
But that you may know that the Son of man
hath the power on earth to forgive sins

(he saith to the sick of the palsy),
I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house.
8
And immediately rising up before them,
he took up the bed on which he lay:
and he went away to his own house, glorifying God.
And all were astonished: and they glorified God.
9
And they were filled with fear, saying:
We have seen wonderful things to-day.
And glorified God that gave such power to men.

The leprosy left him at once and he was cured.
The account found here, though winessing the same incident, is mainly reported according to Matthew, though a couple of Markan verses are present in part. The tale is embodied in the capitulum following.

XLVI. Ubi Ihesus mundat leprosum.
(Where Jesus cleanses a leper.)


46: 1
And when he was come down from the mountain,
great multitudes followed him.
2
And behold a leper came and kneeling down,
worshiped him, saying:
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3
And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying:
I will, be thou made clean.
And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.
4
And Jesus saith to him:
See thou tell no man:
but go, shew thyself to the priest,
and offer the gift which Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
5
But he being gone out,
began to publish and to blaze abroad the word:
so that he could not openly go into the city,
but was without in desert places.
And they flocked to him from all sides.

This week's Gospel: 5th 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: Mark 1: 22 - 39
(8th-Feb-2009) 5th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B

He cured many who suffered from diseases of one kind or another.
As with last week’s reading, the account in Mark is not witnessed directly. This is though a very similar tale, and in a similar context. Taken maily from Matthew, it embodies an insertion from Luke. So, then, what was a single tale, has been augmented, and expanded to comprise the three capita following.

XLVIII. Ubi socrum Petri a febribus sanavit Ihesus.
(Where Jesus cures Peter's wife's mother of fever.)

XLVIIII. Ubi Ihesus in civitatem Naim mortuum resuscitat.
(Where Jesus resuscitates a dead man in the city of Naim.)

L. Ubi omnes infirmitates curat, ut adinplerentur scripturæ prophetarum.
(Where He cures all infirmities, that the scripture of the prophets might be fulfilled.)


48: 1
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house,
he saw his wife’s mother lying, and sick of a fever;
2
And he touched her hand,
and the fever left her,
and she arose and ministered to them.

49: 1
And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Naim:
and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude.
2
And when he came nigh to the gate of the city,
behold a dead man was carried out,
the only son of his mother:
and she was a widow.
And a great multitude of the city was with her.
3
And when the Lord had seen her,
being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her:
Weep not.
And he came near and touched the bier.
4
And they that carried it stood still. And he said:
Young man, I say to thee, arise.
And he that was dead sat up and begun to speak.
And he gave him to his mother.
5
And there came a fear upon them all:
and they glorified God saying:
A great prophet is risen up among us:
and, God hath visited his people.
6
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea
and throughout all the country round about.

50: 1
And when evening was come,
they brought to him many that were possessed with devils:
and he cast out the spirits with his word:
and all that were sick he healed:
2
That it might be fulfilled,
which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying:
He took our infirmities,
and bore our diseases.
3
And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.
