Mark 14

One key detail that I think matters in this gospel compared to the other three: Jesus is anointed by the woman and then Judas sells Jesus out. Judas is angry that she “wasted” the gift and acts magnanimous despite not being so. We find elsewhere that he was stealing money and now acts as if her gift could have helped the poor. He was indignant and sells Jesus out for the price of a slave.

Do you ever try to define Jesus your way instead of let Him Be Him?
