The Holy Week

The week before Easter Sunday take a few minutes each day to discuss what the Savior was doing on that day nearly 2,000 years ago.
I cut and pasted the scriptures in from LDS.org. Sorry that some of the formatting stayed.

Sunday: Jesus rides in triumph into Jerusalem
Behold, thy aKing cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, aHosanna to the Son of David: bBlessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 11 And the amultitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Monday: Cleansing the temple
12 ¶ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My ahouse shall be called the house of bprayer; but ye have made it a cden of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

Tuesday: the Scribes questioned the authority of Jesus and asked about paying tribute
money (see Matt.21; Matt.22)
23 ¶ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what aauthority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

Wednesday: the Scriptures are silent on what Christ did this day. I think maybe He spent time with some of the people He loved—His family and His Disciples.

Thursday: the Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane (see Matt.26).
17 ¶ Now the first day of the feast of aunleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the bpassover?
18 And he said, Go into the city ato such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My btime is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the apassover.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called aGethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and bpray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and abegan to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is aexceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and bwatch with me.
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and aprayed, saying, O my bFather, if it be possible, let this ccup pass from me: nevertheless not as I dwill, but as ethou fwilt.


Friday: The trial and Crucifixion and burial of Jesus (see Matt.27).
he had ascourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with aa loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
a rich man of Arimathaea, named aJoseph, who also himself was Jesus’ bdisciple: 58 He went to Pilate, and abegged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great astone to the door of the bsepulchre, and departed.


Saturday: missionary work in the spirit world (see 1 Pet. 3:18-20; 1 Pet.4:6).
He went and apreached unto the bspirits in cprison;

Easter Sunday: read about the empty tomb and Resurrection (see Matt. 28).
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for athe bangel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 5 aAnd the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is arisen, as he said. Come, see the place where the bLord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

Luke 24: 36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself astood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, bPeace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do athoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: ahandle me, and see; for a bspirit hath not cflesh and bones, as ye dsee me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and awondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be afulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their aunderstanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it abehoved Christ to suffer, and to brise from the dead the third day: 47 And that arepentance and bremission of sins should be cpreached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are awitnesses of these things.
