Mark Chapters 13-14

In this episode, we read Mark chapters 13 and 14, where Jesus speaks about future events and prepares for the final moments leading to His crucifixion. In chapter 13, often called the Olivet Discourse, Jesus warns of coming trials and emphasizes the importance of staying watchful, faithful, and spiritually ready. Chapter 14 shifts to deeply personal and powerful moments — a woman anoints Jesus, the Last Supper is shared, and Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane. We also see betrayal, arrest, and denial unfold as Judas betrays Jesus and Peter struggles with fear. Mark 13–14 reminds us of both the urgency of staying prepared in our faith and the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice, as He willingly walks toward the cross with obedience and love.
