Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 293: Jesus' Anointing

Good morning, everyone!

Today I read Mark 14.

In today's reading, Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemene, where Jesus prays to ask God to take His burden from Him, but ends with "Not My will, but Yours."

Then, Judas betrays Jesus.

The priests question Him, twisting His words, and quickly accusing Him of blasphemy.

Then, Peter denies Jesus 3 times before the rooster crowed, just as He said Peter would.

But before that, a woman came with a costly alabaster bottle filled with a costly perfume. She broke the bottle and poured the oil over Jesus' head.

Those with Him began to grumble, saying that she could have sold the oil and used the money for the poor, but Jesus rebuked them, reminding them that the poor would always be with them, but that He would not, again foretelling His death.

And so, the woman anointed Him for burial before He was taken.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Mark 15-16.
