Transcript published:

One day, our Lord Jesus Christ came into a village. Ten friends came to see Him. They stayed away from Jesus, but said loudly, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

You see, these ten friends had leprosy. Leprosy is a sickness that causes big sores on people’s bodies. When this happened, people with leprosy could not be near other people. Many people thought that people with leprosy had sinned and were being punished.

At that time, when Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging; and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”

And he cried, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

A Voice From The Isles
Christ and and the Rich Man

Episode date: November 29, 2012
Transcript published:

The meeting in today’s gospel between Christ and the rich man is important. Saints Matthew, Mark and Luke all mention the meeting in their gospels.

Furthermore, the apostles got very upset about the idea that rich people do not go to heaven, because at that time in 1st century Palestine having wealth was a sign of being blessed by the Father.
