MATTHEW

Chapter 26

read this chapter
STUDY:
  • What does Jesus tell his disciples in the first paragraph?
  • What was the significance of the woman pouring oil on Jesus' feet?  Why were the disciples "indignant"? (Read Luke 7:36-50 to get the story in more detail.)
  • Who betrays Jesus? How much money was he given?
  • What did the disciples learn at the Passover meal?
  • What do we practice in church that comes from an event in this chapter?
  • What is the importance of this practice?
  • Who do we learn will deny Jesus three times?  
  • What happened three times in Gethsemane when Jesus went alone to pray?
  • What is the "cup" that Jesus refers to?
  • What was the sign that Judas gave to the chief priests that Jesus was the one to seize?
  • What did Jesus testify to that made the chief priest tear his clothes and call him a blasphemer?
  • Why do you think Peter denied Jesus?

APPLICATION:

  • Who do you relate with when you read Luke 7:36-50?  Do you relate with Simon who wondered why Jesus was spending quality time with a prostitute, or do you relate with the woman who put a large amount of valuable oil on Jesus' feet in reverence and worship to Him? What can we learn from this passage and how can you apply it practically?

  • It seems crazy that Judas would betray Jesus after personally knowing Him and learning under Him for as long as he did.  Where do you think his heart for Jesus was at this time?  Where is your heart for Jesus right now?  What things have you done to betray your walk with Jesus when your heart has not been in full devotion to Him?

  • When Jesus spent time with His Father in Gethsemane,  Jesus told God, 'this is going to be hard, but regardless of how I feel, I want you will'.   How do you pray into the Father's will for your life?  Are you as willing as Jesus was to lay aside your thoughts and plans for the will of God?  Would you do anything that He asks of you?
