What Happens in This Episode? This Jesus Stories episodes begin to go deeply into Jesus’ teaching regarding the honoring of the Law and the Prophets. Jesus compares the sayings of the Law – "You have heard it said" – with the intention his Father had for the saying – "But I tell you".

What Happens in This Episode? In this Jesus Stories episode, as Jesus approaches Jerusalem he tells a parable of a rich nobleman. He visits the home of Simon the leper, whom he had healed. Simon hosts a party in his honor. Among the attendees are Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Mary anoints Jesus with oil – much to the dismay of some. Jesus finally rides into Jerusalem and is honored as the King he is. While the crowd shouts approval, the Pharisees plot to kill both Jesus and Lazarus. Jesus laments Jerusalem’s future fate when he enters the city, takes a look at the Temple and then leaves. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:
