Palm Sunday - Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, clears out temple
Matthew 21:1-17, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, John 12:12-19
Why do you think Jesus went to the temple, instead of to Pilate’s house (Roman power), or to Caiaphus’s house (the high priest)?
Holy Monday - Curses a fig tree, teaches A LOT in the temple and afterward, Mary anoints Jesus with perfume, Judas reproaches her
Matthew 21:18-26:16, Mark 11:15-19, Luke 19:45-48, John 2:13-17
Why did Jesus curse a fig tree, even when it was “too early in the season for fruit”?

Matthew 21:23-24:51, Mark 11:20-13:37, Luke 20:1-21:36, John 12:20-38

Matthew 27:1-62, Mark 15:1-47, Luke 22:63-23:56, John 18:28-19:37
