Mark 14:12-16, 22-26

Passover celebrated Israel's exodus from Egypt. God had inflicted nine plagues on the Egyptians and was preparing for the tenth plague—the death of the firstborn. God commanded the people of Israel to sacrifice a lamb for each family and to sprinkle the blood of the lamb on the doorposts and lintel so that the death angel, seeing the blood, would pass over the Israelites' houses and leave the firstborn untouched (Exodus 12-13).

Mark 13:24-37

The coming of the Son of Man (13:24-27; see also Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 21:25-28). The lesson of the fig tree (13:28-31; see also Matthew 24:32-35; Luke 21:29-33). Keep alert, because you know now when the time will be (13:32-37; see also Matthew 24:36-44; Luke 21:34-36). Jesus said, "Watch therefore, for you don't know when the lord of the house is coming, lest he might find you sleeping."

Luke 24:13-35

Walk to Emmaus (see also Matthew 16:12-13). When Jesus had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them. Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

Luke 24:1-12

Jesus' resurrection (see also Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; John 20:1-10). On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
