TODAY’S GOSPEL READING
17 OCTOBER, 2024
Luke 11:47-54
The Lord said:
“Woe to you who build
the memorials of the prophets
whom your fathers killed.
Consequently, you bear witness
and give consent to the deeds
of your ancestors,
for they killed them and
you do the building.
Therefore,
the wisdom of God said,
‘I will send to them prophets and Apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute’ in order
that this generation might be charged with the blood of all
the prophets shed since the foundation of the world,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah
who died between the altar and the temple building.
Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!
Woe to you, scholars of the law!
You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.”
When Jesus left,
the scribes and Pharisees
began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things, for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.
THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD!
