Comments on the Lessons
In the Isaiah reading the prophet tells of Zion's approaching vindication when God will be as a husband to his people. There is virtual consensus on the Corinthian reading. The (C) (L) readings begin at verse 1 in order to place the charismata in the context of confessing Christ as revelations of the Lord. There is virtual consensus on the Johannine reading. By ending it at verse 11 in (C) (L) there is an emphasis on the epiphanic character of this Sunday.
Commentary
