‘A New Teaching With Authority’
First Reading 1 Samuel 1:9-20 The Lord is mindful of Hannah and she
gives birth to Samuel
After they had eaten in the hall, Hannah
rose and took her stand before the Lord, while Eli the priest was sitting on
his seat by the doorpost of the temple of the Lord. In the bitterness of her
soul she prayed to the Lord with many tears and made a vow, saying, ‘O Lord of
Hosts! If you will take notice of the distress of your servant, and bear me in
mind and not forget your servant and give her a man-child, I will give him to
the Lord for the whole of his life and no razor shall ever touch his head.’
While she prayed before the
Lord which she did for some time, Eli was watching her mouth, for she was
speaking under her breath; her lips were moving but her voice could not be
heard. He therefore supposed that she was drunk and said to her, ‘How long are
you going to be in this drunken state? Rid yourself of your wine.’ ‘No, my
lord,’ Hannah replied ‘I am a woman in great trouble; I have taken neither wine
nor strong drink – I was pouring out my soul before the Lord. Do not take
your maidservant for a worthless woman; all this time I have been speaking from
the depth of my grief and my resentment.’ Then Eli answered her: ‘Go in peace,’
he said ‘and may the God of Israel grant what you have asked of him.’ And she
said, ‘May your maidservant find favour in your sight’; and with that the woman
went away; she returned to the hall and ate and was dejected no longer.
They rose early in the morning
and worshipped before the Lord and then set out and returned to their home in
Ramah. Elkanah had intercourse with Hannah his wife and the Lord was mindful of
her. She conceived and gave birth to a son, and called him Samuel ‘since’ she
said ‘I asked the Lord for him.’
Responsorial Psalm: My heart exults
in the Lord, my Savior.
My heart exults in the Lord, my horn is
exalted in my God. I have swallowed up my enemies; I rejoice in my victory.
Gospel Mark 1:21-28 Unlike the
scribes, he taught them with authority
Jesus came to Capernaum with his
followers, and on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people
were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and
not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he
cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to
destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and
said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a
loud cry came out of him.
All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this? A new teaching with
authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” His fame
spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
AELF: LE SAINT DE DIEU «un enseignement nouveau, proclamé avec
autorité»
Évangile Marc 1,21-28 «Un enseignement pas comme les scribes,
mais avec autorité »
Jésus, accompagné de ses disciples, arrive
à Capharnaüm. Aussitôt, le jour du sabbat, il se rendit à la synagogue, et là ,
il enseignait. On était frappé par son enseignement, car il enseignait en homme
qui a autorité, et non pas comme les scribes. Or, il y avait dans leur
synagogue un homme tourmenté par un esprit mauvais, qui se mit à crier: «Que
nous veux-tu, Jésus de Nazareth? Es-tu venu pour nous perdre? Je sais fort bien
qui tu es: le Saint, le Saint de Dieu». Jésus l'interpella vivement: «Silence!
Sors de cet homme». L'esprit mauvais le secoua avec violence et sortit de lui
en poussant un grand cri.
Saisis de frayeur, tous s'interrogeaient: «Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire? VoilÃ
un enseignement nouveau, proclamé avec autorité! Il commande même aux esprits
mauvais, et ils lui obéissent». Dès lors, sa renommée se répandit dans toute la
région de la Galilée.

Mon cœur exulte dans le Seigneur. Merci,
