LEAD THROUGH A FORGIVING RELATIONSHIP

1.         disciples hear passively

26:1-5

 

26:1 ......he said to the disciples of him: 2 Ye know that after two days the Passover occurs and the Son of man is delivered to be crucified. 3 Then were assembled the chief priests and the elders of the people in the court of the high priest named Caiaphas. 4 and consulted that Jesus

by guile they might seize and might kill; 5 but they said: Not at the feast, lest a disturbance occurs among the people.

2.         disciples belittle sincerity (of ointment woman)

26:6-16

 

26:6 And Jesus being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 approached to him a woman having an alabaster phial of ointment very expensive and poured it on the head of him reclining. 8 And seeing the disciples were angry saying To what waste this 9 for could this to be sold of much and to be given to poor. 10 And knowing Jesus said to them: Why trouble ye the woman for work a good she wrought to me; 1 for always the poor ye have with yourselves, but me not always ye  have

12 for putting this woman ointment this on the body of me for to bury me she did. 13 Truly I tell you, wherever is proclaimed gospel this in all the world, will be spoken also what did this woman for a memorial of her. 14 Then going one of the twelve the one named Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests 15 he said: What are ye willing me to give, and I to you will deliver him? And they weighed him thirty pieces of silver 16 And from then he sought opportunity that him he might deliver.

 

3.         the disciples inquiry routinely

26:17

 

26:17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread approached the disciples to Jesus saying: Where

willest thou we may prepare for thee to eat the Passover?

 

4          the disciples follow instructions with some       disinterest.

26:18-19

 

26:18 So he said: Go ye into the city to such a one and say to him: the teacher says: the time of me near is:

with thee I make the Passover with the disciples of me. 19 And did the disciples as enjoined them Jesus and prepared the Passover
