Lectionary
Commentary and Preaching Paths (Lent A6), by Jirair Tashjian, at The
Christian Resource Institute.
- "When the life of the Son of God is snuffed out, it is then that God speaks. He speaks loud and clear. He speaks not in vengeance, counter-attack and destruction. God does not kill Pilate, the Roman soldiers, the high priests and the passers-by. Instead, he splits a curtain and makes himself open and available. He splits rocks, gives the world a shake, opens tombs and lets his saints out of their graves. It is at that point that the Roman soldiers realize how pitiful and puny they are and all their bravado melts and they gasp, "Truly this man was God?s Son!" God acts in strange ways."

- "Although some individual manuscripts of the New Testament in Greek (whatever their date) can sometimes yield unusual variants, errors and occasional glosses - as is the case in all literature whose preservation was dependent on the vagaries of the scribes' competence - this particular scrap of Matthew is consistent with and agrees with the same wording known from countless other manuscripts which contain these verses. This manuscript tells us nothing different from the text known from other sources."
