Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, which begins Holy Week (or Passion Week) – the week that commemorates Jesus’ death and resurrection. Here’s a new visualization Bible Gateway created that harmonizes the four Gospel accounts of Holy Week and lets you examine the “who,” “what,” and “where” of events leading up to and through Easter. Follow the lines in the chart to see at a glance what people were doing, where they were, and whom they were with at any point during the week.
