Friday, September 17, 2010

My poor little brain hurts tonight.  I'm absorbing such random information since I'm in four different classes that sometimes I don't know what to do with it.  So, you're only going to get the information and chapter titles today.  I'll be back with commentary tomorrow! :)

Chapter 21 - Jesus enter Jerusalem on the donkey, He cleanses the temple, curses the fig tree and faces down Pharisees regarding His authority.  Jesus teaches the Parables of the Two Sons, and the Wicked Tenants.  Title:  Triumphal Entry

Chapter 22 - This opens with the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, then comes questions about paying taxes, resurrection, the greatest commandment, and David's Son.  Title:  Setting Traps

Chapter 23 - Jesus denounces the scribes and Pharisees and laments over Jerusalem.  Title:  Woe to You!

Chapter 24 - Jesus talks of the destruction of the Temple, gives signs of the end of the age, foretells persecution, speaks of the desolating sacrilege and the coming of the Son of Man.  He teaches the lesson of the fig tree, speaks on the necessity for watchfulness and tells of the faithful or the unfaithful slave.  Title:  Signs of the End.

Chapter 25 - More parables!  The parable of the Ten Bridesmaids and the talents.  Then He talks of the judgment of the nations.  Title: Parables of the End

Chapter 26 - Here we are at the end.  The plot to kill Jesus, the anointing at Bethany, Judas agrees to betray Jesus, Passover meal, Lord's Supper, Peter's denial foretold, Prayer in Gethsemane, Betrayal and Arrest, Jesus before Caiaphas, and then Peter's denial.  Title:  Betrayal.  Arrest.

Chapter 27 - Jesus is brought before Pilate, Judas kills himself, Pilate questions Jesus then hands Him over to be crucified.  The Soldiers mock Jesus and we see the crucifixion.  Jesus dies, is buried and guards are set at the tomb.  Title:  Death.

Chapter 28 - Resurrection, the guards report and then the disciples are commissioned.  Title  Resurrection. Go Forth.
