Fr. Tim's homily on the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Jan. 29)
St. Mark presents us with a scene from the early days of the public ministry of Jesus; it takes place in a synagogue. The synagogue is the place where Jewish men would gather to hear the Torah proclaimed and then to have it explained to them by the rabbi. It was the right of every Jewish man to be a part of these gatherings and to be able to comment on the Law of Moses.
St. Mark tells us that Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum and taught. “The people in attendance were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” (Mark 1: 22) What does this mean that Jesus taught them as one with authority and not as the scribes? It wasn’t because Jesus was a young man who came up with some new fangled ways of doing things. The word authority is used regarding his teaching. I would dare say that those who were astonished couldn’t at that moment put their finger on the difference between the teaching of Jesus and the teaching of the scribes. Both were teaching from the same scriptures. But St. Mark uses the word authority to describe this difference…
