Jesus: Wrapped, or, Who took the wrap?

How a dead body is treated is prescribed by culture and law. Jesus’ body was wrapped with spices, but how, and for how long!?

Jesus: After the cross (v2)

What is reported to us from after the death of Jesus?

First thing: Brave Joseph of Arimathea (secret disciple, as John* tells it) had been given permission to place Jesus' remains in an unused tomb without delay, which he did.

Jesus: All four say..

The four Gospels devote a considerable amount of space to Jesus’ final week, and the resurrection day. Following is a compilation extracted from information limited to that found in all of the accounts.

Jesus: Temple time

Jesus had arrived in Jerusalem, possibly via this road, to spend time in the Temple there, etc.  (Those trees were there recently.) This was not Jesus' first visit, but it was his last before the crucifixion.

Jesus: and YOU (v.2)

YOU have decided to follow Jesus? Fantastic.

You are a forever member

Jesus: and Friends

Issues about friends, contamination, undesirables, acceptance, and sin became a problem

Jesus: your servant

Jesus: your servant

 
Background: The disciples had been contesting their place in their (expected) “pecking order”. Jesus gives them (us) a rebuke and gave a weighty explanation of his role in the flesh.
