Episode notes
Scripture Interprets Scripture
- Jesus uses the withered fig tree as a teaching moment about faith, prayer, and forgiveness rather than a literal magic formula.
- Scripture must interpret Scripture to avoid building a skewed theology from isolated verses.
Mary's Humble Anointing
- Mary anoints Jesus' feet with expensive perfumed oil and wipes them with her hair as a profound act of humility and devotion.
- The act symbolically places her head at his feet and echoes crowns cast at Jesus' feet.
Judas' Hidden Motives
- Judas objects to the oil under the pretense of caring for the poor but is revealed as greedy and dishonest.
- John labels Judas a thief, suggesting his motives were self-serving rather than charitable.
