Dr. Pitre is another one of God’s instruments providing us with a depth and knowledge that have been hidden under piles of secular rubbish, so we can receive the Gospel with a refreshed view like that of the first century Jewish person!

[@stephenler3850]

Praise and Thanks Be To Our Lord , for Dr. Pitre.

[@jacquelinewhittaker4651]

3 years exactly since you recorded this look at The Parable of the Wicked Tenants in Matthew 21, and its connections with The Vineyard of the Lord in Isaiah 5 and one of the Psalms chanted at Passover. It's the 27 th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, yet again this Sunday, so same biblical passages as when you recorded. I like the 3 year cycle. I half knew and had also half forgotten the teachings and insights you were offering. Lovely to hear them fleshed out again in a very interesting way. Thankyou.

[@jerryg3524]

for me it's a privilege to hear Dr. Pitre's explanation of this odd parable; he's one of the best biblical scholars around

[@jacksoncastelino04]

Nice Commentary. God bless you

[@praveenUFO]

good explanation sir..GOD BLESS your ministeries

[@SRS675]

I read a book of 40 Parables and learned more about Jesus and why he taught only in Parables to the public then 51 years of different churches

[@bonnenouvellechannel]

Thanks Dr Pitre, your bible interpretation are very enlightening. God bless you.

[@brideofchristalleluia6106]

BOY DID THIS BLESS MY SOUL YOU REALLY BROKE IT DOWN IN SIMPLICITY LOL THANKS AS I RECENTLY READ IT I WAS LIKE HUH.....BUT MAKES ALL SENSE NOW

[@francisgruber3638]

As all the Temple rites and sacrifices came to nothing after it fell in 70 AD, so, too, all the meditations and remembrances of Jesus' words, deeds and prayers emerged from the same ashes with profound new clarity. The sacrificial covenant of Moses ends; the Mass arises from its 40 years of apostolic memorials, agapes, Seders, mikvahs, and mysteries; the canon of the New Testament takes its time stamp; and the tripartite liturgical offices of the Temple are impressed onto the church.

Heavenly Father, Thank you so much for the gift of your only begotten Son Jesus Christ, thank you too for good servants like Brant Pitre who labor to bring your light to your people. I plead for your mercy for those who reject good servants like him, gives the courage to turn our wild grapes into pleasing ones for you. Amen

[@Moe-xg6bu]

How you pretending to know he is a good servant ? You deaf when spoke plain who proclaimed any of you before you born

[@Moe-xg6bu]

Trust none test all many false prophets at the end of the age . Says exactly how to test this moment in plain words yet deaf ears figured it out

[@SomeSortofSomething]

AMEN!

[@paulmiller3469]

Didn't know that Jewish tradition included Isaiah being cut in half and Jeremiah being stoned. Thanks, Dr. Pitre! By the way, for those who believe that interpretation, to which prophet was Jesus referring when He said the one they beat?

It’s ok, the FATHER forgives the wicked tenants, He’s found new tenants, a nation producing the fruits of the Kingdom.

How Jesus said i will send sheeps among the wolves😊🙏 Be wise as serpent be as kind as doves.. MATTHEW 10:16 KJ21 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

[@JamesRichardWiley]

God's Perfect Plan is unfolding exactly the way God intended. The Fall of Man, the flood, the Crucifixion, disease, war, starvation, birth defects, and death. But don't be afraid because Jesus loves you. Praise Jesus.

[@men.276]

I just had a revelation. Jesus is the new Temple the Jews are waiting for thus the Church His body is also the new temple. For the Evangelicals waiting for the third temple to be built to usher the second coming of Christ there is no need for it because Jesus already raised it up on the third day. Rapture theology is erroneous in my humble opinion.

[@mcspankey4810]

St. Paul talks about the Church (the Body of Christ) aka you and me (Born again/Baptized Christians) being the Temple of the Living God.

I hope all the Palestinians including at the West Bank rise up and with the armies from the Arab nations fight mightly to cause the fall of Jerusalem. Enough is enough. Patience is over. Time to fight to the end.

[@docastrov9013]

It's obvious. The vineyard is Israel, the owner is God, the tenants are the Jews, the son is Jesus.

[@LickyTee]

Exactly what they did to the Palestinians.

[@fritzosell4910]

The vineyard is America.

[@francissweeney7318]

Isaiah made no " allegory." Isaiah was a prophet of God writing the prophesy given to him by God. Pitre has no clue.

[@georgevandenberghe5044]

Bla bla bla, this makes no sense
