Today’s Gospel Reflection - Mark 11: 1-10
This Sunday, called Palm or Passion Sunday, is the first day of Holy Week. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday are called the Triduum—three days that are the highlight of the Church year. There are two Gospels proclaimed at today’s Mass. The first Gospel, proclaimed before the procession with palms, tells of Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusa-lem. Riding on a borrowed colt, Jesus was hailed by the crowds as they blessed God and shouted “Hosanna!” This event is re-ported in each of the four Gospels.
In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ passion and death are presented as the consequence of the tension between the Jewish authorities and Jesus that had been building throughout his public ministry. This tension reached its breaking point when Jesus drove the merchants and moneychangers from the Temple. After this event, the chief priests and scribes began seeking a way to put Je-sus to death, and yet, this is only the surface explanation for his death.
When Jesus was arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin—the council of Jewish priests, scribes, and elders—he was charged with blasphemy, citing his threat to the Temple. When he was brought before Pilate, however, the religious authori-ties presented his crime as a political one, charging that Jesus claimed to be king of the Jews.
In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ disciples are rarely models of faith and do little to invoke confidence in their capacity to continue his ministry after his death. They fare no better in Mark’s narrative of Jesus’ passion and death. At the Last Supper, the disciples insisted that none among them would betray Jesus. When Jesus predicted that their faith would be shaken in the events ahead, Peter and the other disciples protested vehemently. Yet in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus returned three times to find them sleeping. Jesus prayed in agony over his impending fate while his disciples slumbered through the night. Just as Je-sus predicted, Peter denied Jesus, and the disciples were absent during Jesus’ passion and death. Only the women who had been followers of Jesus in Galilee are said to have been present at the Crucifixion, but they remained at a distance.
Throughout this Gospel, Mark challenges the reader to consider the claim with which the Gospel begins: Jesus is the Son of God. When we read Mark’s account of the passion, we begin to comprehend the deeper theological statement being made
about Jesus’ death. In Mark’s telling of the passion narrative, Jesus understood his death to have been preordained, and he
accepted this death in obedience to God’s will. Jewish Scripture is quoted only once, but there are several references
to the fulfillment of the Scriptures. Jesus understood his anointing in Bethany as an anticipation of his burial, and he
announced that this story would be told together with the Gospel throughout the world. Jesus predicted his betrayal
by Judas as well as Peter’s denial. At his arrest, Jesus acknowledged that the preordained time had arrived. Jesus was
both confident and silent before his accusers. After he was sentenced to death, Jesus did not speak again until his final
cry from the cross. The bystanders misunderstood and believed that he was calling for Elijah. During Holy Week, we
prayerfully remember the events of Jesus’ passion and death. As we meditate on the cross, we ask again and anew
what it means to make the statement of faith that Jesus, in his obedient suffering and dying, revealed himself to us as
God’s Son..
