Breaking the Word

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 5:1-11

Do not be afraid.

Jesus was a son of a carpenter. Jesus is associating with the fishermen for the first time. He has not lived near the sea shore. (he lived in Nazareth and not in Capernaum). For the first time according to the gospels he is seen around the sea coast. He commands the fishermen and tells them about fishing and he is right.

This shook Simon and others (James and John). They saw in Jesus a power which they could not understand. This frightened them. We wonder what went on in the mind of Simon but he asked Jesus to be away from them. Simon acknowledged his sinfulness and this gave him a new mission.

அஞ்சாதே

தச்சர் மகனான இயேசு கடலைப்பற்றியும் மீன்களைப்பற்றியும் தெரிந்திருந்தார். சீமோனால் இதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள முடியவில்லை. சீமோன் தன்னிலை உணர்கிறார் (பாவி). தன்னிலை உணர்கின்ற பொழுது புதுப் பணி கிடைக்கின்றது.

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 4:38-44

“You are the Son of God.”

Jesus left the synagogue and he was in the midst of the people. There were people with evil spirits. The evil spirits recognized Jesus as the son of God and proclaimed him as the son of God in front of others. Previous to this he was in the synagogue and the evil spirit was present there and he too acclaimed him as the anointed one of God.

Persons with evil spirits were present in the synagogue and also in the villages and towns. The evil spirits recognized the presence of God and they also proclaimed him as the son of God. Even the evil spirits openly express their belief in God. Should we say that evil spirits become an example?

‘நீர் இறைமகன்”

பேய்கள் கூட இயேசுவை இறைமகன் என்று வெளிப்படையாக அறிவித்தார்கள். பேய்கள் கூட இறைவனுக்கு சாட்சிகளாக இருக்கிறார்கள் என்பது ஆச்சரியமே.
