Life of Jesus: Burial Preparations

The time of the Passover has come and Mark 14:1-11 shows Jesus resting at a dinner with His trusted friends, but the contrasts swirling around Him could not be more stark. While some are preparing to kill Him, others are sacrificing to prepare His body for burial. Some treasure Him as priceless, others see Him as worthless. Some give costly valuables to honor Jesus, others look to gain a meager wage to give Jesus up to death.
