Lenten Reading for Tuesday, Third Week in Lent
Today's Reading is taken from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 22, verses 63-65:
The men who held Jesus in custody were ridiculing and beating him, saying "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?" And they reviled him saying many other things against him.This passage is the beginning of the "Passion" proper in the Gospel of Luke. It is here that Jesus' physical suffering at the hands of strangers begins. In the following days, we will experience the growing physical pain and emotional sorrow experienced by Jesus.
