Reading through Matthew's Gospel in Lent

Monday, 18 April 2011

Holy Week: Monday: Matthew 26.14-35

26.15  Value uncertain: possibly the price of a slave (Exodus 21.32)
26.21  Jesus seems conscious of the irony of fellowship and betrayal.
26.25  Could this be any clearer or straighter?
26.26  “This is my body” is very direct: what does “is” mean here?
26.30  Singing a hymn seems very ordinary, but also poignant.
26.33  Fallible, yet bold: a natural leader, because they all follow him in brave promises (v35) as well as betrayal (v56).
Tom highlights the centrality of the meal: fellowship around the table, and remembering Jesus.
