Also, I'm interested in your take on Mark 20 where the high priest rips his clothes during the interrogation of Jesus. Who is his? Thank you, keep up the good work Fratelli Tutti
The high priest is Caiaphas, Matthew 26:57. Caiaphas tore his own clothes as described in Matthew 26:65. It was forbidden for the high priest to tear his own garments as stated in Leviticus 10:6 and Leviticus 21:10. I hope this helps. God Bless.
@@RCEmichaelreavey, this is the commentary I found in the Catena Aurea regarding Mark 14:63: "Leo, Sermon 5, de Pass.: But Caiaphas, to increase the odiousness of what they had heard, “rent his clothes,” and without knowing what his frantic action meant, by this madness, deprived himself of the honour of the priesthood, forgetting that command, by which it is said of the High Priest, “He shall not uncover his head or rend his clothes.” [Lev 21:10] For there follows: “The High Priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?” Theophylact: The High Priest does after the manner of the Jews; for whenever any thing intolerable or sad occurred to them, they used to rend their clothes. In order then to shew that Christ had spoken great and intolerable blasphemy, he rent his clothes. Bede: But it was also with a higher mystery, that in the Passion of our Lord the Jewish priest rent his own clothes, that is, his ephod, whilst the garment of the Lord could not be rent, even by the soldiers, who crucified Him. For it was a figure that the Jewish priesthood was to be rent on account of the wickedness of the priests themselves. But the solid strength of the Church, which is often called the garment of her Redeemer, can never be torn asunder.

In some ways the story of the serpents in Genesis is contrary to the story of the cross. One way of looking at both stories is to see that the 'raising up' of the Genesis serpent is a way of exposing the evil for all to see. That is, in contrast to it being hidden..where it can fester and grow and kill unnoticed. So, this might mean that moral teachings regarding sin should be taught to all, even though people might not want to hear...or 'look at' those teachings. And then when Jesus is 'raised up', the exact opposite occurs....it is not evil that is being exposed to scrutiny, but it is 'Goodness Itself' ...God...who is being shown and revealed to all that would look. With the serpent we learn what we should ovoid. With Jesus we learn what we should obtain and strive for...ie. Eternal love. Just one angle to view these scriptures....comparing the 'tree of deadly fruits' with the 'tree of life giving fruits'.
It should be noted that the level of goodness with regards to looking at the bronze serpent raised up is specifically trust. I.E. They faith-ed themselves to God's care to save them. With the cross of our Lord we must believe ourselves to Jesus Himself unto the level of marital relationship (spiritually speaking as members of His own body).
@@LightYagami-dz3fn not at all true, as I bet you might know. The Hebrew goes as follows: Numbers 21:9 " מֹשֶׁה֙ (mō·šeh) So Moses וַיַּ֤עַשׂ (way·ya·‘aś) made נְחֹ֔שֶׁת (nə·ḥō·šeṯ) a bronze נְחַ֣שׁ (nə·ḥaš) snake וַיְשִׂמֵ֖הוּ (way·śi·mê·hū) and mounted עַל־ (‘al-) it on הַנֵּ֑ס (han·nês) a pole. אִם־ (’im-) If אִ֔ישׁ (’îš) anyone who נָשַׁ֤ךְ (nā·šaḵ) was bitten וְהִבִּ֛יט (wə·hib·bîṭ) looked אֶל־ (’el-) at הַנְּחֹ֖שֶׁת (han·nə·ḥō·šeṯ) the bronze הַנָּחָשׁ֙ (han·nā·ḥāš) serpent, וָחָֽי׃ (wā·ḥāy) he would recover.

I find it strange that God, who severely rebuked the Israelites for the golden calf, now commissions Moses to make a bronze serpent. I realize the attitude toward each was different but sure could have been confusing to them.

Note the etymological similarity between Seraphim (SRP) and serpent. Note also that the "serpent" in the Garden of Genesis is "nachash" (similar etymologically to the nagas of Eastern mythology, serpent-men), the "shining one" or "the diviner". Not the same thing, in other words.

Krishna and Jesus Christ Serpent story is similar.Krishna fight a Mighty Serpent for Protecting Brindavana people in Jamuna River named Kaliya Naga(Serpent). Similarly Jesus Christ fight a Serpent.also In Sanskrits Serpent is called Sarpa,Sarp,Saap
“Become sin itself”. Why would Christ, who is without sin, become sin? Does he mean Christ allowed himself to become a symbol of death (the crucifix) in order to expose end death?
Hmm i think that in the phrase “become sin itself” the writer is saying how sin and death are one in the same. The consequence of sin is death, so Jesus died and became sin in that sense. I could be wrong
Receiving us who are evil, opening his arms to embrace us as we were one is both to be counted amongst sinners and join with. If we choose to join him on the cross then because he is all good and the very life of the age to come Himself. We can be saved, that is our death/enslavement/spiritual sickness is overcome in His goodness/life/almighty action.
Dr. Pitre (and others) have written elsewhere that the phrase that St. Paul uses "became sin" in 2 Corinthians 5:21, in the Old Testament meant "became a sin offering."
It's interesting, there's another part in the bible that mentions the snake on a stick called nehushtan I think.... Hoshea did right in the eyes of the Lord and broke the bronze serpent to pieces because people worshipped it or burned incense to it.
We are also saved in this life--spiritual healing. Whoever is bitten by the serpent, ie., is tempted and sins, after confessing his sins in the sacrament, the spiritual wounds are further healed by looking at the uplifted serpent--the crucifix. Here is what Our Lord revealed to St. Gertrude the Great about praying with a crucifix (in fact, all St. Gertrude did was constantly look at her crucifix and use it as an impetus to her heart's loving centering on the Sacred Heart of Jesus): “It is very agreeable to Me to see thee thus honoring the Crucifix. It is always an effect of Divine grace when men's eyes meet the Image on the Cross, and never once do they rest upon It, but their soul is benefited. The oftener they do this here on earth with reverence and love, the greater will be their reward in heaven.” And in another place He tells her: “Every time one kisses the Crucifix, or looks at it with devotion, the eye of God's mercy is fixed upon his soul. He should then listen within himself to these words of tenderness from Me: 'Behold how I, for love of thee, hang on the Cross-naked, despised, My while Body wounded, all My limbs distended. And still My Heart is enkindled with such glowing love for thee that if it were beneficial for thy salvation and thou couldst not be saved in any other way, I would for thee alone endure all that I suffered for the whole world!'” Wow.

Please can a Catholic tell me how the Pope can be infallible, even when he retracts certain statements, why we have to go to a priest to get forgiveness when Jesus says nobody comes to the father except through me.
