Mark and Matthew

All,
We have five Sundays until Easter. During this time I would like to focus on Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. While we are all very familiar with these two critical events, I want to approach them slightly differently.

To this end, first we will be looking at the 4 Gospel accounts of the crucifxion (in chronological order starting with Mark and ending with John). During this examination, I want to keep the following question at the forefront of our discussion: who historically (I stress "historically" for reasons that will soon be clear)killed Jesus? The Romans or the Jews? And why does this question even matter.

Secondly, we will look at the 6 (yes, 6!) accounts of the ressurrection.

All this should take us up to Easter.

For this Sunday:

Read Mark 14:53-15:42
&
Matthew 26:47-27:56
