Week 32 - The Gospel of Mark

In this episode, David and Sophie explore the section of Mark where Judas decides to betray Jesus and the final Passover meal is prepared and shared. They reflect on how Mark places this moment directly after the woman’s extravagant anointing, highlighting a contrast between wholehearted devotion and growing disillusionment. As Jesus names betrayal and impending failure at the table, David and Sophie notice how he does so openly but without accusation, inviting each disciple into self-examination. Together they consider how Jesus redefines Passover, not as a moment of political overthrow, but as a kingdom that comes through suffering, self-giving love, and a meal that remains unfinished, pointing toward God’s future fulfillment.
