Our Gospel for Feb 14. The Demand for a Sign.

Mk 8:11-13

 

The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus,

seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.
He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said,
“Why does this generation seek a sign?
Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Then he left them, got into the boat again,
and went off to the other shore.

Hiningan si Jesus ng Tanda

Marcos 8:11-13

 ¹¹Lumabas ang mga Fariseo at nagsimulang makipagtalo sa kaniya. Hinahanapan siya ng isang tanda mula sa langit, upang subukin siya. ¹²Dumaing siya sa kaniyang espiritu na sinasabi: Bakit mahigpit na naghahangad ng tanda ang lahing ito? Tunay na sinasabi ko sa inyo: Hindi bibigyan ng isang tanda ang mga tao sa panahong ito. ¹³Pagkaiwan niya sa kanila at pagkasakay muli sa bangka, tumawid siya sa kabilang ibayo.

Our Gospel for Feb 13. The Fulfillment.

Mt 5:17-37 or 5:20-22a, 27-28, 33-34a,37
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses
that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors,
You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.
But I say to you,
whoever is angry with brother
will be liable to judgment.

“You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery.
But I say to you,
everyone who looks at a woman with lust
has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

“Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors,
Do not take a false oath,
but make good to the Lord all that you vow.
But I say to you, do not swear at all.
Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’
Anything more is from the evil one.”
