What if one of the most important and widely accepted timelines in modern Christianity — the sequence of events from the Triumphal Entry to the Resurrection — deserves a careful, verse-by-verse examination straight from the Gospels?

In this deep-dive episode of Mining Scripture, we slow down and walk through the final week of Christ day by day and hour by hour, comparing the accounts in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John: What exactly does the Bible say happened from the night of the Last Supper, through the betrayal, trials, crucifixion, burial, and the empty tomb on the third day? Or has a simplified traditional outline quietly shaped what many Christians assume is the full story?

• If the timeline is straightforward, why do the four Gospels give different details about the timing of certain events, the Passover meal, and the exact sequence of trials?
• Why does Jesus emphasize “three days and three nights” in the heart of the earth, and how does that fit with the actual hours from burial to resurrection?
• Where do common assumptions about “Good Friday to Easter Sunday” come from, and how closely do they align with the full testimony of the Hebrew calendar and the apostolic writings?
• What changes when we read the Passion narrative through the lens of the whole counsel of God — paying close attention to the Jewish feasts, the hours of the day, and the repeated emphasis on fulfillment of Scripture — instead of later traditions?

Whether you’ve always followed the traditional Holy Week timeline or you’ve quietly wondered how all the pieces fit together without contradiction, this episode will invite you to test everything against the full testimony of God’s Word.
