Day 42: Mark 14:32-52
Gethsemane and Jesus Arrested

            The Jewish authorities were expecting resistance to Jesus’ arrest but in the end there wasn’t any. The crowd carrying swords and clubs were a mixed bunch of Jewish officials and Roman soldiers (John 18:3) but Mark describes them as an unruly crowd. Some people think that Mark was the young man who fled naked. He describes the fear vividly.

Reflect on the account of Gethsemane and the arrest. 

How has God spoken to you today through this reading?
