The Passion Week is described in chapters 21-27 of Matthew, chapters 11- 15 of Mark, chapters 19-23 of Luke, Chapters 12-19 Juan. These are known as the Gospels of the New Testament. Holy Week begins with the triumphal entry of Palm Sunday riding on a donkey as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9.
Holy Week includes several memorable events. Jesus cleansed the temple for the second time ( Luke 19:45-46 ), and played with the Pharisees regarding His authority. Then Jesus gave His Olivet Discourse on the end times and taught many things, including the signs of His second coming. Jesus ate the Last Supper with his disciples in the upper room ( Luke 22:7-38 ), and then went to the garden of Gethsemane to pray while awaiting the arrival of His Time. It was here that Jesus, having been betrayed by Judas, was arrested and brought to trial several farces before the chief priests, Pontius Pilate, and Herod ( Luke 22:54 to 23:25 ).
After the trials, Jesus was whipped at the hands of the Roman soldiers, and then was forced to carry his own instrument of execution (the Cross) through the streets of Jerusalem along what is known as the Milky Dolorosa (the Way of Sorrows). Jesus was crucified on Golgotha the day before the Sabbath , and was buried in the tomb until Sunday, the day after the Sabbath, and then rose gloriously.
It is known as the Passion Week (Holy Week) because at that time, Jesus Christ truly revealed His love for us in that he willingly suffered in our place. What should be our attitude during Holy Week? We must be passionate about our worship of Jesus and our proclamation of the Gospel!
