LENTEN BIBLE STUDY #25


CONSPIRACY & ANOINTING

5TH Tuesday of Lent

Read Matthew 26:1-13.

How do you think Jesus’ disciples felt hearing him speak about being crucified?  How did you react when you read verse 2?

Do you think the disciples were justified in their complaints about the ointment?  What would you have said if you witnessed the event?

Notes on the text:

To read the account of the original Passover, see Exodus 12:1-51.

Verse 6: lepers were required by Law to live outside of villages, away from non-infected people unless they were healed.

The Jewish burial rituals called for the body to be anointed with fragrant oils and spices & wrapped in a shroud before being interred.
