ISAIAH 42:1-9
	PSALM 36:5-11
	HEBREWS 9:11-15
	JOHN 12:1-11 The conflict between Jesus and the Jews reached a crucial point with this incident because the raising of Lazarus, Mary's brother, had drawn many of the people to Jesus.

Tuesday

	ISAIAH 49:1-7
	PSALM 71:1-14
	I CORINTHIANS 1:18-31
	JOHN 12:20-36 John has Jesus predict his own death and resurrection. Through his sacrifice, like a seed planted to grow and bring forth much fruit, a new relationship with God would be established.

Wednesday

	ISAIAH 50:4-9a
	PSALM 70
	HEBREWS 12:1-3
	JOHN 13:21-32 Generally speaking, John's Gospel did not treat Judas kindly. In this instance he suggests that Jesus not only knew about the plot against him, but urged Judas to do what he was fated to do.

Thursday

	EXODUS 12:1-14
	PSALM 116:1-2, 12-19
	I CORINTHIANS 11:23-26
	JOHN 13:1-17, 31b-35. John's version of Jesus' last meal with his disciples is very different from that found in the other gospels. Instead of instituting the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper by sharing bread and wine, he performed a ritual of foot washing which some parts of the church still practice as a sacrament

Good Friday

	ISAIAH 52:13-53:12
	PSALM 22
	HEBREWS 10:16-25
	HEBREWS 4:14-16; 5:7-9
	JOHN 18:1-19:42 The majesty of the Passion narratives in the four Gospels lies in their distinctive contributions to our understanding of the death and resurrection of Christ. It is not possible to create a harmonized version that is convincingly cohesive.

Saturday

	JOB 14:1-14
	LAMENTATIONS 3:1-9, 19-24
	PSALM 31:1-4, 15-16
	1 PETER 4:1-8
	MATTHEW 27:57-66
	JOHN 19:38-42 These two brief pericopes assured Matthew's particular audience that there could be no doubt as to the death of Jesus. That, of course, was essential to the credibility of his subsequent narrative of the resurrection.
