The Catholic Church teaches that in order to understand the Scriptures, we must start with the literal sense - in other words, how the original hearers of the text would have understood it. That is our aim in this podcast - to help understand what the gospel writers (and more importantly, Jesus) were intending to communicate in today's reading, as well as providing links to the Catechism. Each episode is short and designed to be listened to before or after attending daily Mass. This podcast follows the calendar and Mass readings for the General Roman Lectionary. Therefore, all Gospel readings are taken from The Jerusalem Bible, published and copyright © 1966, 1967 and 1968 by Hodder & Stoughton and by Doubleday, a division of Random House, Inc.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T08:17:31.047757+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948"},"episode":{"title":"Monday of Week 16 in Ordinary Time - Matt 12: 38-42","slug":"monday-of-week-16-in-ordinary-time-matt-12-38-42","published_at":"2026-07-19T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948/monday-of-week-16-in-ordinary-time-matt-12-38-42","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-gospel-exegesis-774948","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-gospel-exegesis/episodes/Monday-of-Week-16-in-Ordinary-Time---Matt-12-38-42-egs3g7","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1025ef1c/podcast/play/16698311/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-7%2F3acaade2-7dee-e034-9446-16b189c90a0c.mp3","summary":"To support the ministry and access exclusive content, go to: ⁠⁠http://patreon.com/logicalbiblestudy⁠⁠ For complete verse-by-verse audio commentaries from Logical Bible Study, go to: ⁠⁠https://mysoundwise.com/publishers/1677296682850p Matthew 12: 38-42 - 'There is something greater than Solomon here.'
