1. Arrival in Bethany Friday John 12:1
Jesus arrived in Bethany six days before the Passover to spend some time with his friends, Many, Martha
and Lazarus. While here, Mary anointed his feet with costly perfume as an act of humanity. This tender
expression indicated Mary's devotion to Jesus and her willingness to serve him.
2. SABBATH Saturday
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; Mrk 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 of 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 Tuesday 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 - He 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 Gospels)
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 Supper." After singing a hymn they went to the
Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in agony, knowing what lay ahead for him.
8. Crucifixion Friday Mt 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.
9. In the Tomb Friday Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42
Jesus' body was placed in the tomb before 6:00 p.m Friday night, when the Sabbath began and all work
stopped, and it lay in the tomb throughout the Sabbath.
10. Resurrection Sunday Mt 28:1-13; Mk 16: 1-20; Lk 24: 1-49; Jn 20: 1-31
Early in the morning, women went to the tomb and found that the stone closing the tomb's entrance had
rolled back. An angel told them Jesus was alive and gave them a message. Jesus appeared to Mary
Magdalene in the garden, to Peter, to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and later that day to all the
disciples but Thomas. His resurrection was established as a fact.
