The Savior's Last Week

We wanted to share some information with you and invite you to draw nearer to Christ as we approach Easter Sunday next week. You may wish to use these provided materials to guide your personal or family scripture study during the week or to present a Family Home Evening lesson. Attached you will find three documents titled "Savior's Last Week," which contain a list of scripture references from the four Gospels---Matthew, Mark, Luke and John---to help you understand how our Savior spent the final days of His life and learn more of His Resurrection and subsequent appearances. You will need only one of these documents for your study purposes; simply choose the format that you prefer.
