It doesn’t matter which version you choose. It can be digital or paper. You can use one of those fancy coloring bibles and do a page or coloring along with the passage.

I will mostly do Holman Christian Standard Bible because of their copyright freedoms.

  • Mark 14 ( Cross Referencing with Matt 26 and Luke 22)
    • Mk 14:1-2 Timing
    • Mindfully Meditating in Matthew 26
    • Mk 14:1  After two days it was the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a treacherous way to arrest and kill Him. 2 “Not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be rioting among the people.”
    • Mk 14:3-9 Anointed
    • Mk 143 While He was in Bethany at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease, as He was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.
    • Why wasn’t that sold?
    • Mk 146 Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for Me. 7 You always have the poor with you, and you can do what is good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have Me. 8 She has done what she could; she has anointed My body in advance for burial. 9 I assure you: Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

Make the preparations for us there.” 16 So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

    • Lent Day 10 – Upper Room Prepared
    • Mk 14:17-20 BETRAYAL

    • Peter, James and John taken further up, told to pray and stay awake
    • Mk 1435 Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
    • One: Mk 1437 Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you sleeping?” He asked Peter. “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?
    • Two: Mk 1440 And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.[j] They did not know what to say to Him.
    • Three: Mk 1441 Then He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting?

More discussion about these stories in Mindfully Meditating in Matthew 26

A good place to see the four gospels compared is from Synoptic Gospel Parallels.

Mindful Meditating

  1. choose a verse,
  2.  set a timer for 5 minutes, or whatever works for you.
  3.  example: Mark 14:36
  4. repeat to yourself, and at each word, enunciate the next word in the sentence starting with the first word…

example:

  • Mk 14:36 Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
  • NEVERTHELESS, not what I will, but what YOU will.
  • Nevertheless, NOT what I will, but what You will.
  • Nevertheless, not WHAT I will, but what You will.
  • Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.

and so on.  This will cause you to look at the verse more intently, and may have you memorize it before your five minutes are done.

“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest

Hi!
My hope in the midst of despair and my joy in the face of depression is because of my relationship with Jesus Christ. If you do not have one, or are not sure you will join him in heaven, please check out these links:

Thanks for joining me in this journey,
In His hands and under His wings,
~Christi
Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest
