Mark 14:12-21

The average person who reads through this passage will likely not think much of it. On the surface, everything appears simple and familiar, with nothing that seems unusual or out of the ordinary. Yet this may be one of the most unique and consequential passages in the Gospel, and if we read past it too quickly, we risk missing something profoundly important. Slowing down and paying close attention here is critical, because what is happening beneath the surface carries eternal significance.
