Christ’s Authority is Challenged (Matthew 21: 23-27; Mark 11:
27-33; Luke 20: 1-8)
23 Now
when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people
confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You
doing these things? And who gave You this authority?”
24 But
Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you
tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: 25 The
baptism of John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?”
And
they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say
to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’
we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus and said, “We do
not know.”
And
He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Jesus is Anointed (Matthew 26: 6-13, Mark 14:3-9)
3 Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the
home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating, a
woman came in with a beautiful
alabaster jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard. She broke
open the jar and poured the perfume over his head.
4 Some
of those at the table were indignant. “Why waste such expensive
perfume?” they asked. 5 “It could have been sold for a year’s wages and the
money given to the poor!” So they scolded her harshly.
6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone.
Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me? 7 You will always
have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But you
will not always have me. 8 She
has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time.
9 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the
world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”

Dispute over who is the greatest among disciples
(Luke 22: 24-30)
24 Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest
among them. 25 Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great
men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’
26 But among you it will be
different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the
lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant. 27 Who
is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one
who sits at the table, of course. But not here! For I am among you as one who
serves.
28 “You have stayed with me in my time of
trial. 29 And just as my Father has granted me a Kingdom, I now grant you
the right 30 to eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. And you will sit
on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three
days I will rise from the dead.’ 64 So we request that you seal the tomb
until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing
his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the dead! If that
happens, we’ll be worse off than we were at first.”

can.” 66 So they sealed the tomb and posted guards to protect it.

dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women.

would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.
