Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Enero 24, 2021

Today we begin a continuous reading of Mark’s Gospel that

will carry us through this segment of the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. Remember that in Cycle B of the Lectionary, most of the Gospel readings are taken from the Gospel according to Mark.

The Gospel of Mark does not begin with a narrative about Jesus’ birth. Instead Mark begins by reporting on the preaching of John the Baptist. John is described as the voice in the wilderness sent to prepare the way of the Lord. Immediately after describing the work of John the Baptist, Mark reports on Jesus’ baptism and his temptation in the desert. Jesus’ public ministry begins after the arrest of John the Baptist. Mark wants his readers to understand the important connection between the end of the ministry of John the Baptist and the beginning of Jesus’ own ministry.

As we learn at the beginning of today’s Gospel reading, Jesus preaches the Kingdom of God in continuity with the preaching of John the Baptist. Like John the Baptist, Jesus’ pronouncement of the kingdom is a call to repentance. Yet Jesus’ preaching is greater than John’s. Jesus begins the time of fulfillment; the Kingdom of God is already here. This will be demonstrated again and again, both in Jesus’ words and in the actions that follow. Jesus’ healings and forgiveness of sins are signs of the Kingdom of God that he announces in his teaching.

In contrast to last week’s Gospel, in Mark’s Gospel Jesus takes the initiative in calling his first disciples. As mentioned last week, it was more typical of first-century rabbinical schools for students to seek out rabbis, asking to be their disciples. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus breaks with this tradition and invites his disciples to learn from him. Jesus is said to have first called four fishermen—Simon, Andrew, James,

and John. Simon and Andrew are brothers. Jesus promises that he will make them “fishers of men.” James and John are also brothers. Mark does not report Jesus' words of invitation to them, but he does report that they left their fishing immediately; their father, Zebedee, was left behind in the boat.

Mark’s Gospel is told with a great sense of urgency and

immediacy. Jesus is a person of action, and events occur in rapid succession. We see this in today’s Gospel. Time is of the essence; the fishermen immediately put aside their livelihood to become Jesus’ disciples. The Kingdom of God is here and now. The time of fulfillment is at hand. How might our lives be different if we more fully shared this sense of the immediacy of God’s kingdom?

Hoy comenzamos una lectura continua del Evangelio de

Marcos que nos llevará a través de este segmento del tiempo litúrgico del Tiempo Ordinario. Recuerde que en el Ciclo B del Leccionario, la mayoría de las lecturas del Evangelio se toman del Evangelio según Marcos.

El Evangelio de Marcos no comienza con una narración sobre el nacimiento de Jesús. En cambio, Marcos comienza informando sobre la predicación de Juan el Bautista. Se describe a Juan como la voz enviada en el desierto para preparar el camino del Señor. Inmediatamente después de describir la obra de Juan el Bautista, Marcos informa sobre el bautismo de Jesús y su tentación en el desierto. El ministerio público de Jesús comienza después del arresto de Juan el Bautista. Marcos quiere que sus lectores comprendan la importante conexión entre el fin del ministerio de Juan el Bautista y el comienzo del propio ministerio de Jesús.

Como aprendemos al comienzo de la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús predica el Reino de Dios en continuidad con la predicación de Juan el Bautista. Como Juan el Bautista, el pronunciamiento del reino de Jesús es un llamado al arrepentimiento. Sin embargo, la predicación de Jesús es mayor que la de Juan. Jesús comienza el tiempo del cumplimiento; el Reino de Dios ya está aquí. Esto se demostrará una y otra vez, tanto en las palabras de Jesús

como en las acciones que siguen. La curación de Jesús y el perdón de los pecados son signos del Reino de Dios que anuncia en su enseñanza.

A diferencia del Evangelio de la semana pasada, en el Evangelio de Marcos Jesús toma la iniciativa de llamar a sus primeros discípulos. Como se mencionó la semana pasada, era más típico de las escuelas rabínicas del primer

siglo que los estudiantes buscaran rabinos, pidiendo ser sus discípulos. En el Evangelio de Marcos, Jesús rompe con esta tradición e invita a sus discípulos a aprender de él. Se dice que Jesús llamó primero a cuatro pescadores: Simón, Andrés, Santiago y Juan. Simon y Andrew son hermanos. Jesús promete que los hará "pescadores de hombres". Santiago y Juan también son hermanos. Marcos no informa las palabras de invitación de Jesús, pero sí informa que dejaron su pesca inmediatamente; su padre, Zebedeo, se quedó atrás en el barco.

El Evangelio de Marcos se cuenta con un gran sentido de urgencia e inmediatez. Jesús es una persona de acción y los acontecimientos ocurren en rápida sucesión. Vemos esto en el Evangelio de hoy. El tiempo es la esencia; los pescadores inmediatamente dejaron de lado su sustento para convertirse en discípulos de Jesús. El Reino de Dios está aquí y ahora. Se acerca el momento de la realización. ¿Cómo podrían ser diferentes nuestras vidas si compartiéramos más plenamente este sentido de la inmediatez del reino de Dios?
