The gospel of Mark gives us a detailed account of much that happened during this week. The disciples were on a ‘high’, while Jesus meanwhile was setting His face steadfastly. In spite of His imminent death Jesus still found time to teach His disciples. He tells of the vineyard owner whose tenants beat and killed his servants. They finally killed the owner’s son. This was a direct reference to His own death.
During those last few days He meet up with scorners and sceptics, followers and worshippers. He knew He had limited time and Mark recounts it all so well for us. We feel as if we are walking this last week with Him.
