Listen "Episode 014: The Lamb of God and the New Exodus (Mass Readings for Jan. 19, 2020)"
Episode Synopsis
Our Gospel today comes from John, but wait, aren’t we reading through Matthew this cycle? John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God. Why and what connotations would this have brought up for a first century Jew? Did you know that some scholars believe John the Baptist was an Essene who belonged to the Qumran community (famous for the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls)? Was John really an Essene and if he was, why did he leave? We’ll talk about this and more today in our episode for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time!
