  • Sermon for the Exile in Egypt and the Feast of the Epiphany Preached At
    Sermon for the Exile in Egypt and the Feast of the Epiphany Preached at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Mt. Kisco, NY By the Rev. William A. Doubleday, Priest in Charge January 5, 2014 In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We just heard a part of the story of the Magi – the wise men from the East – the Persian astrologers – the Gentile visitors to the Baby Jesus and his parents in Bethlehem – from Matthew’s Gospel. Today I want to speak to you about what the late Radio Announcer Paul Harvey might have called the REST OF THE STORY. The fuller story is punctuated with dreams. The Magi are warned not to go back to King Herod and report the exact location of Jesus. Joseph is warned in a dream that Herod has resolved to kill every child under two in and around Bethlehem. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus flee to Egypt and after some time, when Herod has finally died, Joseph is advised to go back to the land of Israel in one dream, and then advised to go not to Bethlehem, but to Nazareth in still another dream. The part of the story I particularly want to emphasize today is the flight into Egypt. Egypt, the land from which the once enslaved Hebrew people fled at the time of the Exodus, becomes in Matthew’s Infancy Narrative a safe haven – a refuge – a place to hide for the Infant Jesus and his Holy Family. So we have the horribly ironic and timely story of a mad ruler seeking to destroy the very Infant who came into the world to save his people.

  • The Illnesses of Herod the Great 1. Introduction 2. Sources of Information
    The illnesses of Herod the Great THE ILLNESSES OF HEROD THE GREAT ABSTRACT Herod the Great, Idumean by birth, was king of the Jews from 40BC to AD 4. An able statesman, builder and warrior, he ruthlessly stamped out all perceived opposi- tion to his rule. His last decade was characterised by vicious strife within his family and progressive ill health. We review the nature of his illnesses and suggest that he had meningoencephalitis in 59 BC, and that he died primarily of uraemia and hyper- tensive heart failure, but accept diabetes mellitus as a possible underlying etiological factor. The possibility that Josephus’s classical description of Herod’s disease could be biased by “topos” biography (popular at the time), is discussed. The latter conside- ration is particularly relevant in determining the significance of the king’s reputed worm- infested genital lesions. 1. INTRODUCTION Herod the Great, king of the Jews at the onset of the Christian era, had no Jewish blood in his veins. Infamous in Christian tradition for the massacre of the newborn in Bethlehem, he was nevertheless a vigorous and able ruler, a prolific builder, friend and ally of Rome and founder of an extensive Herodian dynasty which significantly influenced the history of Palestine. His miserable death at the age of 69 years was seen by the Jewish religious fraternity as Jahweh’s just retribution for his vio- lation of Judaic traditions (Ferguson 1987:328-330; Sizoo 1950:6-9). The nature and cause of his illness and death is the subject of this study. 2. SOURCES OF INFORMATION With the exception of fragmentary contributions from Rabbinic tradi- tions, Christian records in the New Testament and evidence from con- temporary coins, Herod’s biography comes to us predominantly through the writings of Flavius Josephus, a Jewish priest of aristocratic descent, military commander in a revolt against Rome, but subsequent recipient of Roman citizenship.

  • The Nativity According to Luke: an Original Work of Art
    The Nativity According to Luke: An original work of art By Ben Witherington III The Christmas portions of the gospel are, perhaps, the most beloved, and the most belabored, texts in the New Testament. Like works of art that have been lacquered with coat after coat of varnish, the original stories are hardly visible any more. Today, it is difficult to conceive the Nativity without an ox and ass, for example, although neither Matthew nor Luke mentions animals. (Rather, St. Francis, the great medieval lover of animals, is credited with building the first manger scene complete with live animals.) The three wise men are also permanent fixtures in our image of the Nativity, although they don’t arrive, according to Matthew 2, until several days after the birth of Jesus (the epiphany to the shepherds does, however, take place the same day). Perhaps revisiting the story from a historian’s point of view may remove some of these mistaken impressions, these layers of lacquer, and let us see the masterpiece in its brilliant original colors. Part of the problem today is that we tend to conflate Matthew’s and Luke’s accounts into one Nativity story. To counter this, in this column we will confine ourselves to a few verses from Luke. At the time of the birth, Joseph and Mary are in Bethlehem, Joseph’s ancestral home, where the couple has traveled, according to Luke 2:1–5, to participate in a census. As Luke 2:5 states clearly, Joseph and Mary are engaged, and Mary is pregnant. Engagement in early Judaism was as binding as modern marriage is today.

Waiting is part of the process of becoming what we hope for.” —Ben Patterson ARE YOU WAITING FOR JESUS TO COME?

JOSEPH'S EMBARRASSMENT, MT. 1, 18-25 We shall take Mt. 1, 24 as a starting point. Joseph, after having received the order of the Angel, "rising up from his sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife." This last expression refers to the wedding; it is moulded throughout in terms of Jewish law. We have already observed (p. 148) that the Jews called the wedding "the taking" (nissu'in or liqquhin). After her be­ trothal Mary was legally called Joseph's wife (p. 155). There can, therefore, be no doubt about the meaning of the expression. The question of time occurs; what is the exact meaning of "rising up from his sleep (he) did . "? eyegfreig followed by a finite verb means to rise physically in nearly all the Gospel passages as dvacrcdc; w often does. But, the first verb seldom expresses merely the beginning of a new action; perhaps in Mt.

    Retold, Wiseman Message Outline Matthew 2:1-12 (NIV) The Magi Visit the Messiah 2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.” 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” 9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.

  • Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem
    Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem Introduction The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is a major Christian holy site, as it marks the traditional place of Christ's birth. It is also one of the oldest surviving Christian churches. In the Bible The birth of Jesus is narrated in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Matthew gives the impression that Mary and Joseph were from Bethlehem and later moved to Nazareth because of Herod's decree, while Luke indicates The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem that Mary and Joseph were from Nazareth, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem while they were in town for a special census. Scholars tend to see these two stories as irreconcilable and believe Matthew to be more reliable because of historical problems with Luke's version. But both accounts agree that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth. According to Luke 2:7 (in the traditional translation), Mary "laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn." But the Greek can also be rendered, "she laid him in a manger because they had no space in the room" — we The Door of Humility – only about 4 feet high should perhaps imagine Jesus being born in a quiet back room of an overflowing one‐room house. The gospel accounts don't mention a cave, but less than a century later, both Justin Martyr and the Protoevangelium of James say Jesus was born in a cave. This is reasonable, as many houses in the area are still built in front of a cave.
