Today we hear lots and lots of details about the building of the temple. A man from Tyre, Huram, must have been a wonderful and artistic technician in working with bronze casting. He corresponds to the two craftsmen who designed and constructed the first tabernacle.
Today we read the stanzas of Psalm 119 which start with the letters Kaph and Lamedh, v. 81-96.
There is an important play on words between Jesus and the crowd in Capernaum which does not come out in the NLT. It involves the word 'work'. I have made an adjustment to fix that which I will read in the podcast for the 28th. Here is my modification:
27[Don’t//But don’t] be so concerned about perishable things like food. [Work instead to gain//Spend your energy seeking] the eternal life that the Son of Manf can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.”
28They replied, “We want to perform God’s works, too. What should we do?”
29Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
