Read and Think

Mark 14 opens the passion narrative with a contrast: the leaders' plot and Judas's betrayal surround a woman's costly devotion. Her anointing, worth about a year's wages, is the only anointing Jesus receives before His burial. The women who come later with spices will find Him risen.

The Last Supper transforms the Passover. As Israel remembered deliverance from Egypt through the lamb's blood, Jesus now identifies the bread with His body and the cup with His blood of the new covenant, poured out for many, echoing Isaiah 53. He looks forward to drinking it new in the Kingdom of God.

In Gethsemane, the Son's anguish shows the true horror of the cup He must drink, the judgment of sin. Yet His intimate "Abba" and His submission show perfect obedience where Adam failed in a garden. Jesus is arrested and the disciples scatter, fulfilling Zechariah. Before the Sanhedrin, false witnesses disagree. But Jesus breaks His silence: "I am," and He will be seen at the right hand of Power, coming with the clouds. Meanwhile Peter, warming himself by the fire, denies Him.
