Lectionary Q is a resource for clergy and the laity to get ready for the upcoming Sunday using a text from the Revised Common Lectionary. This week's text is from Luke 23:33-43
What are your answers? What are your questions? Send them to lectionaryq@substack.com.
Here are the questions for this week’s passage:
* The New Revised Standard Version says in verse 33 that “they” crucified Jesus. Who is the “they?” Is it the soldiers? The leaders? The people?
* What is the significance of the Inscription on the cross (This is the King of the Jews)?
* When Jesus says “Today you will be with me in paradise,” what does he mean?
* Several times Jesus is mocked by saying he should save himself. Could this statement of mockery also be a temptation? How?
