Hi All! I wanted to post this as a supplement to the Weekly Bible Reading that I post. I wanted to post it here in case others that don't follow the weekly reading would like this schedule. As many of you are aware, this is a special week since it is the week leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection. I wanted to post this schedule earlier but DH has been home sick. Now that he has returned to work I can get back on schedule! :angel: Below are the events and scriptures that coincide for this special week. Keep in mind that the Jewish day runs sundown to sundown. I hope you enjoy following along. :love: Nisan 8 (Begins Friday April 3 at Sundown) Jesus Arrives at Bethany six days before Passover John 11:55-12:1 Sabbath – Jesus staying at Lazarus’s home Nisan 9 (Begins Saturday April 4 at Sundown) Feast at Simon the leper's house; Mary anoints Jesus; Jews come to see Jesus and Lazarus Matthew 26:6-13; Mark14:3-9; John12:2-11 Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem Matthew 21:1-11, 14-17; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-44; John 12:12-19 Nisan 10 (Begins Sunday April 5 at Sundown) Jesus returns to Lazarus’ home after teaching in the Temple; Barren fig tree cursed; second temple cleansing; Chief priests & scribes scheme to kill Jesus; Unbelief of Jews despite hearing God’s voice.
