Here is this Week’s Discussion Topic:

Recall that a PERICOPE is an individual unit of the gospel such as pronouncement stories, conflict stories and parables. That said, take a Pericope from the Gospel in Matthew not covered by another student (or from our discussion from previous weeks) and, utilizing the information presented in the Online Lecture and Reading Material, explain the story in the following manner:

What is Jesus trying to say?

How does his listeners receive the message (if applicable)?

What literary tool(s) is/are Mark using in the pericope?

How is this pericope utilized in the other gospels (if at all)?

How can we apply this message today? Use personal experiences if possible, to support your discussion.

As a way to help you, you might wish to go the bible passage you cover in the USCCB website on the bible and read the commentary of the text that is below the selection you choose. It might give you some context to the reading you have chosen. Here is the website to help you out…
