So\u00a0how is he his son?\u201d\u00a0And the great throng\u00a0heard him gladly.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 22:41-46<\/a>; Luke 20:41-44<\/a>)<\/p>\n The hypocrisy and ambition of the Pharisees (Mark 12:38-40<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n 38<\/sup> And in his teaching he said,\u00a0\u201cBeware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces\u00a039\u00a0<\/sup>and have the best seats in the synagogues and\u00a0the places of honor at feasts, 40\u00a0<\/sup>who devour widows\u2019 houses and\u00a0for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.\u201d<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 23:1-39<\/a>; Luke 20:45-47<\/a>)<\/p>\n Greeks visit Jesus. Voice from heaven (John 12:20-36<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n 20\u00a0<\/sup>Now\u00a0among those who went up to worship at the feast were someGreeks.\u00a021\u00a0<\/sup>So these came to\u00a0Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, \u201cSir, we wish to see Jesus.\u201d\u00a022\u00a0<\/sup>Philip went and toldAndrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.\u00a023\u00a0<\/sup>And Jesus answered them,\u00a0\u201cThe hour has come\u00a0for the Son of Man to be glorified.\u00a024\u00a0<\/sup>Truly, truly, I say to you,\u00a0unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25\u00a0<\/sup>Whoever loves his life loses it, and\u00a0whoever\u00a0hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.\u00a026\u00a0<\/sup>If anyone serves me, he mustfollow me; and\u00a0where I am, there will my servant be also.\u00a0If anyone serves me,\u00a0the Father will honor him.<\/p>\n 27\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cNow is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? \u2018Father,\u00a0save me from\u00a0this hour\u2019? But\u00a0for this purpose I have come to\u00a0this hour. 28\u00a0<\/sup>Father, glorify your name.\u201d\u00a0Then\u00a0a voice came from heaven: \u201cI have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.\u201d\u00a029\u00a0<\/sup>The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said,\u00a0\u201cAn angel has spoken to him.\u201d\u00a030\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus answered,\u00a0\u201cThis voice has come for your sake, not mine.\u00a031\u00a0<\/sup>Now is the judgment of this world; now will\u00a0the ruler of this world\u00a0be cast out.\u00a032\u00a0<\/sup>And I,\u00a0when I am lifted up from the earth,will draw\u00a0all people to myself.\u201d\u00a033\u00a0<\/sup>He said this\u00a0to show by what kind of death he was going to die.\u00a034\u00a0<\/sup>So the crowd answered him, \u201cWe have heard from the Law that\u00a0the Christ remains forever. How can you say that\u00a0the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?\u201d\u00a035\u00a0<\/sup>So Jesus said to them,\u00a0\u201cThe light is among you\u00a0for a little while longer.Walk while you have the light, lest darkness\u00a0overtake you.\u00a0The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.\u00a036\u00a0<\/sup>While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become\u00a0sons of light.\u201d<\/p>\n When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.<\/p>\n The judgment of unbelief (John 12:37-50<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n 44<\/sup> And Jesus cried out and said,\u00a0\u201cWhoever believes in me, believes not in me but\u00a0in him who sent me.\u00a045\u00a0<\/sup>And\u00a0whoever\u00a0sees me sees him who sent me.\u00a046\u00a0<\/sup>I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.\u00a047\u00a0<\/sup>If anyone\u00a0hears my words and does not keep them,\u00a0I do not judge him; for\u00a0I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.\u00a048\u00a0<\/sup>The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge;\u00a0the word that I have spoken will judge him\u00a0on the last day.\u00a049\u00a0<\/sup>For\u00a0I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father\u00a0who sent me has himself given me\u00a0a commandment\u2014what to say and what to speak.\u00a050\u00a0<\/sup>And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.\u201d<\/p>\n Last passover. Conspiracy of Jews (Matthew 26:1-5<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup> When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,\u00a02\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cYou know that after two days\u00a0the Passover is coming, and\u00a0the Son of Man\u00a0will be delivered up to be crucified.\u201d<\/p>\n 3\u00a0<\/sup>Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in\u00a0the palace of the high priest, whose name was\u00a0Caiaphas,\u00a04\u00a0<\/sup>and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.\u00a05\u00a0<\/sup>But they said, \u201cNot during the feast,\u00a0lest there be an uproar among the people.\u201d<\/p>\n (Also: Mark 14:1<\/a>, 2<\/a>; Luke 22:1<\/a>, 2<\/a>)<\/p>\n Judas Iscariot (Matthew 26:14-16<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n 14<\/sup> Then one of the twelve, whose name was\u00a0Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests\u00a015\u00a0<\/sup>and said, \u201cWhat will you give me if I deliver him over to you?\u201d And they\u00a0paid him\u00a0thirty pieces of silver.\u00a016\u00a0<\/sup>And from that moment he sought an opportunity\u00a0to betray him.<\/p>\n (Also: Mark 14:10<\/a>, 11<\/a>; Luke 22:3-6<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In recognition of Passion Week, we will post the Scriptural narrative from Christ\u2019s triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to His death and resurrection, all throughout the week.
