TOPICS FROM PRACTICE: Holy Week & the Gospel of Matthew

Tomorrow begins "Holy Week"- the 8 (modern) days encapsulating Jesus's ministry in Jerusalem, beginning with Palm Sunday and ending with Easter.  Each gospel presents this period a little differently, so let's take a quick look at how Matthew deals with this amazing week.

• Sunday - Palm Sunday & the Triumphal Entry:  Matthew 21:1-11
• Monday - Cleaning of the Temple:  Matthew 21:12-17
• Tuesday - A Day of Parables:  Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 25:1-28
• Wednesday - Jesus Anointed:  Matthew 26:6-13, Judas Makes his Deal:  Matthew 26:14-16   
• "Maundy" Thursday - The Last Supper:  Matthew 26:17-30, Jesus's Arrest:  Matthew 26:36-55
• "Good" Friday - Sanhedrin Trial: Matthew 26:57-68, Roman Trial:  Matthew 27:11-31, Crucifixion & Burial: Matthew 27:32-61
• "Silent" Saturday:  The Bible says nothing
• "Resurrection/Easter" Sunday:  Matthew 28:1-10
