About this listen

In this episode, we read Matthew chapter 26, where the events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion begin to unfold. The religious leaders plot against Him, while a woman anoints Jesus with expensive perfume, preparing Him for what is to come. At the Last Supper, Jesus shares a final meal with His disciples and institutes the practice of communion, pointing to His body and blood that will be given for the forgiveness of sins.

We also see the deep humanity of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prays before His arrest, submitting fully to the will of the Father. Judas betrays Him, and Jesus is taken before the religious authorities while Peter struggles with fear and denial. Matthew 26 reveals both the faithfulness of Christ and the weakness of humanity, reminding us of the sacrifice Jesus willingly made on our behalf.
