On this date, April 14th Margo was reading in the book of Mark 9:1-13 titled "The Transfiguration of Jesus" and in I Corinthians 16:10-18 titled "Paul's Final Instructions".
These are the verses Margo underlined in the passage in Mark:
"2:After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3:His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4:And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5:Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6:(He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) 8:Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9:As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. "
She underlined the following sentences in the commentary on Mark:
"...God singles Jesus out from Moses and Elijah as the long-awaited Messiah with full divine authority. Moses represented the Law, and Elijah, the Prophets. Jesus was shown as the fulfillment of both the Old Testmanet Law and the prophetic promises.
Jesus was not a reincarnation of Elijah or Moses. He was not merely one of the prophets...We must first listen to Jesus, and then evaluate all other authorities in light of his revelation."
These are the verses Margo underlined in the passage in I Corinthians, Paul speaking:
"13:Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. 14:Do everything in love."
These are the sentences Margo underlined in the commentary on the passage in I Corinthians:
"As the Corinthians awaited Paul's next visit, they were directed to (1) be alert to spiritual dangers, (2) stand true to the Lord, (3) behave maturely, (4) be strong, and (5) do all things with kindness and love."
