Episode notes
Start With A Good Translation Then Learn Tools
- Use a high-quality English translation like the Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition before learning original languages.
- Try Verbum software for clickable original-language tools and enroll in a formal biblical Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic course if serious.
Consult Your Priest About Doubts After Confession
- If you're unsure about forgiveness after confession, speak with a local priest to clarify contrition and absolution.
- Remember God can forgive without another person's permission, though you should still attempt reconciliation with the person harmed.
Jar Of Water Could Point To An Essene House
- The man carrying a jar of water in Luke 22 may indicate an Essene household in Jerusalem.
- That reading implies the Last Supper could have occurred in the Essene Quarter, a debated but intriguing possibility.
