In this article, the author addresses the Christological reading of the Writings in the synoptic Gospels with the example of a conflation of Dan 7:13 with Ps 110:1 in Mark 14:62, Matt 26:64 and Luke 22:69. After presenting the collection of the Writings that, together with the Torah and the Prophets, constitute the Hebrew Bible, as well as the statistics of their reception by the first three Evangelists, the author examines the Old Testament texts in their original context, and then analyzes their reception among the individual Synoptics. The texts of Dan 7:13 and Ps 110:1 are studied both from the point of view of their use in the preceding narrative, marked successively by the conclusion of the eschatological discourse (Dan 7:13) and Jesus’ discussion with the religious leaders about the sonship of David (Ps 110:1) and from the perspective of their conflation in the scene of Jesus’ interrogation before the Sanhedrin.

This article attempts to answer three questions: (1) In light of the Qumran manuscripts, can we confirm that Scriptures Jesus explained to his disciples (Luke 24:44) refer to the same collection of books contained in the Roman Catholic canon, or did this collection differ from the canon? (2) Which biblical passages, in light of the Qumran community’s manuscripts, were central to their expectations for the coming of the Messiah? (3) How did the person of Jesus and the events associated with him fit into their expectations?

The Gospel of Luke presents various scenes in his last chapter about the Risen Christ. One scene is the story of the appearance of Jesus to two disciples on their way home to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-35). The article discussed a themes of time and space showing their importance for the theological message this pericope intended by the evangelist. In this passage he doesn’t just point the characters (“two of them”), but also the day (“that same day”), their city of departure (“from Jerusalem”), their destination (“Emmaus”), and the distance (“sixty stadia”). Lucan narrative artistry is apparent at every tum. The references to time (“on that same day” – Lk 24:13) / “that same hour” – Lk 24:33) and place (“from Jerusalem” – Lk 24:13/ “to Jerusalem” – Lk 24:33) are inclusio that frame the narrative and introduce important theological themes.

Religious services, sometimes misunderstood and underestimated, even in some church environments, are an important help for believers in deepening and strengthening their faith. They are also an important factor in building a community of believers, who unite in prayer during services with the entire Church. The particular importance in history has had the experience of praying the rosary, which has helped unite with Christ and developed the desire for holiness in the believer’s heart. In this way, we also become closer to our brothers who are with Christ in heaven. This unity, built with Christ, Mary and the saints, among others, by cultivating the prayer of the Rosary, undoubtedly also influences later the entire society, in which we live, and enriches it spiritually.
