Matthew 5 Fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/08

What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the Law and the Prophets? Or is it better to say that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law of the Prophets? We look to Scripture into the Old and into the New Testament and consider the commentary from Curtis Mitch and Dr. Edward Sri, St. Jerome, Rabanus Maurus, Archbishop of Mayence, A.D. 847, and St. John Chrysostom in how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. Is the Kingdom only Heaven or does God's kingdom include Heaven and Hell,

Genesis Chapter 37 Part II

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/05

We hear from St. Cyril of Alexandria breaking down Chapter 37 with a look forward to Christ. We look to the Psalms, Jeremiah, Isaiah and St. Matthew in the writing of St. Cyril. Because God doesn't waste words, we see much in all the details.

Matthew 5 Salt, Light, Fulfilment of the Law

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/08/01

We continue with The Sermon of the Mount and discuss how the Fathers, Chrysostom, Hilary and Augustine give us insight into why Jesus is using these themes of Salt and Light. Why Salt and Light? We also see in the prophet and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church this theme of Salt and Light.

Matthew Chapter 5 Beatitudes Part III

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/25

In this episode we cover the last four of the beatitudes 6-9 and hear from St. Ambrose, St. Jerome, St. John Chrysostom, St. Augustine and St. Gregory the Great. St. Augustine breaks out for us the Beatitudes in the hierarchy of the beatitudes and how they bring us to peace within in the integration of the soul and then that allows us to bring peace to others and strength us to be able to withstand the onslaught of persecution to eventually gain merit and achieve the kingdom of heaven.

Genesis Chapter 37 Part I

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/22

We begin in this episode the "Joseph Cycle" that will continue to the end of Genesis. Was Joseph purley innocent in being put upon by his brothers? We hear from Dr. Bergsma and Dr. Pitre to give us the genre of Genesis and in particular, the Joseph cycle. We also hear from St. Cyril of Alexandria. The Joseph Cycle opens with the narrative of Joseph's brothers intending to kill him, that is mitigated by Ruben. Why?Jacob's meekness and wisdom is displayed once again.

Matthew 5, The Beatitudes Part II

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/18

In this episode we look at the Beatitudes individually from the perspective of Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine and Chrysostom. When Jesus takes His seat on the mountain and preaches the Sermon on the Mount, was he saying anything brand new, or was He teaching that which He had spoken before in the law, the prophets, and the writings? Was Jesus simply fulfilling the prophecy that God Himself would teach and shepherd His people?

Genesis Chapter 36, The Descendants of Esau

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/15

Was Job a real person? Esau makes peace with Jacob and peoples the lands around Canaan. Like Lot and Abraham, Jacob and Esau separate, Jacob remains in the land of the promise while Esau settles in the surrounding areas.

Matthew Chapter 5 Part I The Beatitudes

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/11

Why is Jesus sitting while teaching? Can we find anything in Scripture to give us an indication of why and what it might mean? Is "seeing the crowds, just seeing, or is that a weak English words that sort of translates from the original Greek? We look to St. Augustine and St. John Chrysostom to gain some insight.

Genesis Chapter 35 Jacob Returns to Bethel

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/08

The little gems in this Chapter foreshadow the death of the Holy Innocents. The Chapter gives us a quick summary of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac and now with Jacob. St. Cyril of Alexandria gives us the keys to understand this Chapter in light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rachel and the prophet of Jeremiah are heard from as well.

Matthew Chapter 4 Part II Zebulun and Naphtali

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/04

Why did Jesus begin his ministry in Capernaum? Was this just a random luck of the draw or was there a purpose in Jesus using Capernaum as his home base at Peter's home? We look to the Old Testament to gain insight to why Jesus is where He is and why He goes to where He goes.

Genesis 34 Dinah Defiled: Simeon and Levi's Vengeance

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/07/01

Dinah is curious, associates with other women of the town of Shechem and falls victim of the prince of the town. Simeon and Levi contrive a means to enact vengeance on not just the man who rapped her, but to every man of the city and then plunder it. Was this justice? In this event recorded we see the ills of curiosity, lust, and vengeance.

The Third Temptation of Christ, Matthew Chapter 4...

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/27

Satan tempts Jesus the third time, completing the the temptations of the three-fold concupiscence of the fall. Jesus resists by quoting the Law of God in Deuteronomy. We hear from St. Paul, St. Gregory the Great, St. Jerome and Venerable Fulton Sheen gives us the prescription to resist the devil as well as insight how the demons operate and the purpose for our sanctification and to help us understand our weakness in virtue in order to strengthen those areas of weakness.

Jacob and Esau Meet, Genesis Chapter 33

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/24

The Beatitudes of Matthew 5 are foreshadowed by Jacob in his dealings not only with Laban, but more manifest in how he approaches his brother Esau. Jacob's virtue of Meekness earns him the favor of the brother that once desired his death.

The Second Temptation of Christ Matthew Chapter 4...

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/20

We gain further modern insight from Archbishop Fulton Sheen about the Temptations of Jesus Christ. Sheen gives us a take how Satan uses the same tactic in our age through the same temptations he presented to Christ. We learn how Christ resists these temptations. We complete the consideration through the second temptation.

Genesis Chapter 32 Part II: Jacob's Faith and Meekness

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/17

We delve into Chapter 32 of Genesis through the eyes of St. John Chrysostom and St. Cyril of Alexandria. We see the Virtues of Jacob who valued relationship with his brother much more than worldly possessions. Jacob sees God, in so much as it is possible to see God this side of Heaven is a foreshadowing of Christ coming as a man.

Jesus is Tempted; Matthew Chapter 4 Part I

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/13

Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness... Yes the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness into solitude and fasting, after which the devil tempted Him. In this episode we look at the first temptation and the players involved; Jesus the God-man, and Satan. What motivates Satan to tempt? Why does he hate human beings? Does he know Jesus is God? We explore this in this episode and some guidance from Jesus on how to deal with temptation.

Genesis Chapter 32, Jacob Wrestles with God

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/10

No sooner than Laban, who had been afer Jacob to overtake him and intending to do him harm, but ends peaceably, does Jacob have to contend with Esau. Jacob sends presents to Esau and wrestles with God. In doing so, Jacob becomes Israel, because he had contended with God, (not against) and prevailed.

Matthew Chapter 3 Part II; The Baptism of Jesus

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/06

Why was it fitting for Jesus to be Baptised since he had no sin? What does Baptism actually do? Was the Baptism of John the same as the Baptism Jesus institutes through His Church? We look to Chrysostom, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to answer these questions.

Genesis Chapter 31 Part I

Scripture with the Fathers ·

2025/06/03

Jacob leaves Laban, but Laban, loosing his "lucky charm" doesn't take kindly to it. Jacob notes that his success is from God. God protects Jacob and from Laban's rage by speaking to both through dreams. We see that Jacob, by being a virtuous man, gains the protection of God. Jacob acts with prudence, and while absorbing the 20 years of abuse from Laban (Laban changes his wages ten times) finally realizes that he must leave.
