I have been enjoying the discipline of bible reading that the Mark for Lent series has required of me. While I haven’t always strictly managed to do this every day, committing to post up the readings has required that I read them regularly. I am thinking that I might continue this with some other books […]
A number of old endings to Mark’s gospel. Thought to be later additions by scribes who found that the original ending of Mark’s Gospel was missing something or left something to be desired.
Today we have what the earliest versions of the gospel of Mark show as the end of the gospel - the empty tomb. I will post up the alternative endings of the gospel (thought to be later additions) separately.
Today, Jesus is buried
Today we have the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
In today’s reading, Jesus is questioned again, this time by Pilate. Pilate later offers to free Jesus but the crowd shouted to nail him to a cross so instead, Barabbas is freed.
Today Jesus is questioned by the council comprising the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses. Meanwhile, Peter says that he doesn’t know Jesus.
Today Jesus prays in Gethsemane and his disciples cannot keep awake. While remonstrating with the disciples he is arrested.
Today Jesus shares the Lord’s Supper with his disciples and Peter promises that he will never reject Jesus.
Today we have the story of a plot to kill Jesus, the story of the woman pouring perfume on Jesus’ head. Judas meets with the chief priests and the disciples prepare for the last supper and share it together.
