We continue our ‘Reading Matthew in Lent’ series today by reading the last part verses 44-56 of Chapter 13 of St Matthew’s Gospel.
Jesus continues to speak to his disciples in parables. He tells them the parable of the hidden treasure, the parable of the pearl of great value, the parable of the net.
When Jesus finished telling these parables to his disciples he returns to his hometown of Nazareth to teach in the synagogues. But the people of Nazareth reject him and question his wisdom….. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary?
‘Reading Matthew in Lent’ is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Matthew’s Gospel from Ash Wednesday to Easter Monday.
