Comments on the Lessons
The Acts 9:1-20 passage is a narrative of the conversion of Saul. The Acts 5:27-32 passage was dealt with in last Sunday's (C) reading. Comments will be made on Acts 5:40-41 only for the (RC) reading. There is virtual consensus on the Revelation reading, which is a vision of the heavenly throne and the praise given to the Lamb (Christ) upon the throne. In John 21:1-14 there is consensus. It is the account of the appearance of the Risen Christ to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias and their eating bread and fish together at Jesus' third appearance.
