This Week's Gospel: John 12: 12 – 16, (Procession)
(5th-Apr-2009) 6th Sunday of Lent, Year B

Blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord!
The account found here is embodied in the capitulum following. It is a rich interweaving of all four Gospels, so the verse order found in St. John’s Gospel is here seen to be altered to allign better with St. Mattew’s. The capitulum is more detailed, and slightly more extensive. Since the Order of St. John’s account is disturbed, context is better served by giving the whole capitulum, rather than trying to trim it to fit.

CXVI. Ubi Ihesus asinum sedens Hierosolymam ingreditur.
(Where Jesus, sitting on an ass is carried into Jerusalem.)

116: 1
And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage,
unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them:
Go ye into the village that is before you:
and immediately you shall find an ass tied
and her colt tied with her,
on which no man ever hath sitten:
loose him and bring him to me,
and if any man shall say anything to you, tell him:
Because the Lord hath need of his service,
and forthwith he will let him go.
2
And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them:
Why loose you the colt?
They said:
Because the Lord hath need of him,
and they let him go with them, and they brought the colt to Jesus,
threw their garments upon the colt and made him sit thereon.
3
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Tell ye the daughter of Sion:
Behold thy king cometh to thee,
meek
sitting on the colt of an ass
that is used to the yoke.
These things his disciples did not understand at the first:
but when Jesus was glorified,
then they remembered that these things were written of him
and that they had done these things to him.
4
And as he went, many spread their garments in the way:
and others cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.
And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet,
the whole multitude of those on the descent began with joy to praise God with a loud voice;
and the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying:
Hosanna to the son of David!
Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven and glory on high!
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh:
Hosanna in the highest.
5
And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the festival day,
when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna.
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord,
the king of Israel!
And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him:
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
To whom he said:
I say to you that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
6
And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
If thou also hadst known,
and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace:
but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee:
and compass thee round and straiten thee on every side,
and beat thee flat to the ground,
and thy children who are in thee.
And they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone:
because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
