Selected Sunday Scriptures- #53

Today’s post finds its focus on the New Testament.  First we begin with Acts:

15 In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 âBrethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry. 18 (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akelâ²dama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 For it is written in the book of Psalms,

âLet his habitation become desolate,
and let there be no one to live in itâ;

and

âHis office let another take.â

21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from usâone of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.â 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabâ²bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthiâ²as. 24 And they prayed and said, âLord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place.â 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthiâ²as; and he was enrolled with the eleven…

(Acts 1:15-26)

That then brings us to the Letter to Titus:

5 This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you, 6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate. 7 For a bishop, as Godâs steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled; 9 he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it. 10 For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially the circumcision party; 11 they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach.

(Titus 1:5-11)

And finally we conclude with First Timothy:

3 If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions, 5 and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

(1 Timothy 6:3-5)

The choice of passages owes itself to my recent post on Sacred Tradition, or rather, the source material which it covers. These passages will make more sense when I continue with the Clement’s Letter to the Corinthians on Thursday. Authority, of various types, is at the core of it all.
