From Google AI Mode

Questions about betrayal and loyalty
• Judas's betrayal:
What motivations do you see for Judas's betrayal, especially when contrasted with the woman who anoints Jesus with expensive oil just before?
• The disciples' failure: The disciples are unable to stay awake and pray with Jesus in Gethsemane. How does their spiritual lethargy compare with our own struggles with spiritual alertness?
• Peter's denial: How does Peter's loud and confident vow of loyalty differ from his actions? What lessons can be drawn from his failure and subsequent sorrow?
• The fleeing young man: Why might Mark be the only Gospel to include the detail of the young man who flees naked after Jesus's arrest? What is the possible historical or symbolic significance of this episode?

Questions about Jesus' identity and suffering
• Jesus' distress in Gethsemane:
If Jesus is divine, why does he express such deep anguish and pray for "this cup" to be taken from him? What does this reveal about his humanity?
• Jesus' silence: Jesus remains largely silent during his trials before the Sanhedrin and Pilate, yet he affirms his identity as the Messiah. Why does he choose to speak when he does, and what is the significance of his silence?
• The mock kingship: The soldiers mock Jesus by calling him "King of the Jews" and dressing him in a purple robe with a crown of thorns. How is this scene an ironic contrast to his true spiritual kingship?
• The cry of dereliction: On the cross, Jesus cries out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" What is the theological meaning of this cry, and how does it relate to Psalm 22?
• The Roman centurion's confession: What makes the centurion at the foot of the cross, a witness to Jesus's death, conclude that Jesus truly was the Son of God?

Questions about the rituals and symbolism
• The Last Supper:
What do the elements of the Passover meal—the bread and wine—signify when Jesus reinterprets them as his body and blood? How does this event transform the meaning of communion for believers?
• The torn temple curtain: At the moment of Jesus's death, the temple curtain is torn in two. What is the significance of this act? What does it symbolize about access to God?
• Anointing at Bethany: Jesus defends the woman who anoints him with costly perfume by saying she is preparing him for burial. What does this act of extravagant worship reveal about the nature of true devotion?

Questions about the political and historical context
• The role of Pilate and the crowd:
Why does Pilate, who seems hesitant to condemn Jesus, give in to the crowd's demand to crucify him? What does this story reveal about the dynamics of political pressure?
• The contrast between Jesus and Barabbas: Why does the crowd demand the release of Barabbas, a revolutionary, over Jesus? How does this choice highlight different expectations of a "king"?
• The trial's legality: What does the narrative of Jesus's trials before both the Jewish council (Sanhedrin) and Pilate reveal about the irregularities and injustice of the process?
• Joseph of Arimathea: Why is it significant that Joseph, a respected member of the council, is the one who steps forward to courageously claim and bury Jesus's body?
