Introit:  Psalm 30. 10, 16, 18 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly: Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam tribulor; conturbatus est in ira oculus meus, anima mea, et venter meus.

[47] The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?

And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter. [23] And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

[46]Which of you shall convict me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? [47] He that is of God, heareth the words of God.

"The death of Lazarus did not lead to death", says St. Augustine, "but rather to the miracle which had to be accomplished to lead men to belief in Christ Jesus and avoidance of everlasting death.  Our Lord gives here an indirect proof of His divinity, against those who deny that the Son is also God Himself" (Matins). This miracle announces the resurrection of Jesus.   Introit Psalm 18:15...

[14] Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. [15] And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned? [16] Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [14] And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

[16] And to the...

[39] And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministe...

[5] "The gift" : That is, the offering that I shall make to God, shall be instead of that which should be expended for thy profit. This tradition of the Pharisees was calculated to enrich themselves; by exempting children from giving any further assistance to their parents, if they once offered to the temple and the priests, that which should have been the support of their parents. But this was a...
