John 20:19-29 (The Second Sunday of Easter) Jesus Appears to the Disciples 19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews,[a] Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” Jesus and Thomas 24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin,[b] was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his s

You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee.

Why Did Jesus Have To Die?- Palm Sunday - Fr. Michael Flowers 01.25.24 by St. Aidan's Anglican Church, KC

The first five minutes were lost in the recording. The notes are below: Today, the 5th Sunday of Lent marks the beginning of Passiontide, a two-week period commemorating Jesus’ suffering and death, leading us to Holy Week. Today is also the Feast Day of St. Patrick, that 5th Century British Saint who became the Apostle of Ireland. Though in America, St. Patrick’s Day has become a celebration of Irish culture, the Church commemorates the eternal significance of his life. Let’s turn our attention to Passiontide: John, 12:20-33. The setting is the Feast of Passover. A group of Greeks attending requested to see Jesus. Because Philip (Filippos) is a very Greek name, perhaps they had some prior conversations. At any rate, Philip needs to check out the request with Andrew, another Greek name (Andreas). The bulk of Jesus’ disciples were from Galilee, called Galilee of the Gentiles. At any rate, they decide to let Jesus know Greeks have requested an audience with him. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has
