DIED – BURIED – RISEN

 

78.  Jesus comes to Jerusalem for the Passover

 

A few days before the feast of the Passover, Jesus said to the twelve apostles:  Now we are going to go up to Jerusalem. There I will be delivered into the hands of the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn me to death and hand me over to the Romans. They will mock me, spit on me, scourge me and then kill me. But after three days I will rise again. (Mk 10, 32-34)

 

When they were drawing near to the city Jesus sent two disciples on ahead: Go into the village. There you will see a young donkey which nobody has yet ridden. Untie it and bring it to me. If anyone asks you: What are you doing there? Tell them: The Lord requires the animal, he will return it shortly. The two entered the village and found everything as Jesus has said. They brought the animal to Jesus.

 

Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem. The people who were going along the road with them spread their cloaks before Jesus like a carpet of honour. They tore branches from bushes and spread them on the road. The crowd accompanying Jesus cried out: Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of God. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David. Now it is really coming into existence in the highest!

 

(Mk 11, 1-10)
