Questions for next time

When we dive into the fifteenth chapter of Mark's gospel, we can consider some of these questions.

1. Why does Mark immediately emphasize the time of day, early morning, in the very beginning of this section?
2. Why were the soldiers so careful to remove the purple garments from Jesus before leading him out of the Praetorium?
3. How does Pilate's questioning compare to the temptations of the enemy at the beginning of Jesus' open ministry?
4. What is the distinction of Simon of Cyrene on this day?
5. Why did Jesus stay hushed in the middle of this trial?

This is the way of the Cross. How we follow is the central question for early in the morning on Thursday.
