Holy Week Reading Plan: Follow Jesus from His Triumphal Entry to His Resurrection

Holy Week Reading Plan

Notice there are several accounts of each day. If you want a full account of each day, read all the Gospels. It will be a bit repetitive because they share much in common, but each Gospel does give interesting details that the others do not, something you’d expect from eyewitnesses. Or, just read one account of each day for the sake of clarity and simplicity. As you walk with Jesus through Holy Week, both paths will reap wonderful benefits.
