Passion Week

1). Arrival In Bethany (Friday; Jn 12:1)

Jesus arrived in Bethany six days before the Passover to spend some time with His friends, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. While here, Mary anointed His feet with costly perfumes as an act of humility. This tender expression indicated Mary's devotion to Jesus and her willingness to serve Him.

2). Sabbath - Day Of Rest (Saturday- Not Mentioned in the Gospel)

Since this day was the Sabbath, the Lord spent the day in traditional fashion with His friends.

3). The Triumphal Entry (Sunday; Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Lk 19:28-44; Jn 12:12-19)

On the first day of the week, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling an ancient prophecy (Zec 9:9). The crowd welcomed Him with "Hosanna" and the words of Ps 118:25-26, thus ascribing to Him a Messianic title as the agent of the Lord, the coming King of Israel.

4). Clearing The Temple (Monday; MT 21:10-17; Mk 11:15-18; Lk 19:45-48)

On this day He returned to the temple and found the court of the Gentiles full of traders and money changers making a large profit as they gave out Jewish coins in exchange for "pagan" money. Jesus drove them out and overturned their tables.

5). Day Of Controversy And Parables (Tuesdays; Mt 21:23 - 24:51; Mk 11:27 - 13:37; Lk 20:1-21:36)

In Jerusalem - Jesus evaded the traps set by the priests.
On the Mount of Olives Overlooking Jerusalem - Jesus taught in parables and warned the people against the Pharisees. He predicted the destruction of Herod's great temple and told His disciples about future events, including His own return.

6). Day Of Rest (Wednesday; Not Mentioned In The Gospel)

The scriptures do not mention this day, but the counting of the days (Mk 14:1; Jn 12:1) seems to indicate that there was another day concerning which the Gospels record nothing.

7). Passover Last Supper (Thursday; Mt 26:17-30; Mk 14:12-26; Lk 22:7-23; Jn 13:1-30)

In an upper room, Jesus prepared both Himself and His disciples for His death. He gave the Passover meal a new meaning. The loaf of bread and cup of wine represented His body soon to be sacrificed and His blood soon to be shed, And so he instituted the "Lord's Prayer". After singing a hymn they went to the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in agony, knowing what lay ahead for Him.

8). Crucification (Friday; Mk 27:1-66; Mk 15:1-47; Lk 22:66 - 23:56; Jn 18:28 - 19:37)

Following betrayal, arrest, desertion, false trials, denial, condemnation, beatings, and mockery, Jesus was required to carry His cross to "The Place of the Skull", where he was crucified with two other prisoners.

These are what happened in the week of Passion. After all these happenings till the death of Jesus, after the third day, Jesus rose up and reign forever. Praise be to God. Amen.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
Shalom.
