Each year at Making Christ Known I try to lead the verses up to the crucifixion of Christ and then the resurrection from the grave. This Easter timeline helps to outline events of Passion Week leading up to that day.
Sunday through Wednesday Jesus spent each night in Bethany, just two miles east of Jerusalem on the opposite slope of the Mount of Olives.
He probably stayed at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.
Jesus spent Thursday night praying in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Friday and Saturday nights Jesus’ body lay in the garden tomb.
