Am 8:4-7; 1 Tim 2:1-8; Lk 16:1-13
Homily
In chapters 14 to 16, Saint Luke recounts what could be called Jesus' “table talk.” Although this literary genre is unique to Luke among the evangelists, it was often used in his time. Jesus is invited to a meal and, like the other guests, when his turn comes, he offers reflections and teaching. The Gospel we had a few weeks ago about choosing where to sit when invited to a banquet was very much in this vein. Several of the teachings reported in this section of Luke's Gospel, including the one we have today, are found only in Luke.
