Holy Tuesday 10pm
Tuesday
10pm
Time out.
Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and at night he would go out and spend the night on the Mount of Olives, as it was called. And all the people would get up early in the morning to listen to him in the temple. (Luke 21: 37-38)
Another day ends. Luke suggests that rather than heading over the Mount of Olives into Bethany, Jesus stayed on the Mount itself. Was this evening one of those occasions when he just needed to get away from everyone else, even his closest friends, and clear his head and say his prayers?
