FR. C. THOMAS CLEATO", PASTOR

Rev. Arthur B. Egan, Pastor Emeritus

The King James Bible is four hundred years old this year. While it is not

an authorized translation for Catholics, it has had a profound impact on the

English language. Phrases such as, "A house divided against itself cannot

stand" (Mt 12:25); "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" (Mt 5:38); and

"Pearls before swine" (Mt 7:6), all entered common parlance in English after the

King James translation was made available. While many of the phrases were

used in earlier English translations, it was the King James Version that actually

popularized many of these sayings. As people became more familiar with the

text, words employed in the translation began to appear more frequently as well.

Today's Gospel passage is the one that gives rise to the word

"pharisaical." Matthew, who portrays Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount as the

new lawgiver who enlarges the law of Moses given at Sinai, takes on the scribes

and the Pharisees. As Jesus indicates, they sit in the seat of Moses, but their

example is hardly in line with him. They tie up heavy burdens for people. They

are self-righteous. They make their importance felt. They practice strict

observance in externals without concern for the inner spirit of the law. They are,

in the words of the English translation, "pharisaical."

Jesus expects his followers to act in a different way. As we learned last week, the law demands love of God

and love of neighbor. And while external religious acts can indicate an enduring love of God, no one can judge the

hearts of others in reference to their prayers. Only God knows an individual's love of him. But the ways that one

loves a neighbor can be clearly seen, by one's actions of charity in caring for the poor, aiding the sick, and helping

the oppressed. It is clear from the Gospel today that Jesus expects his followers to be servants of all.
