Jesus began his journey into Jerusalem, the people laid palm leaves on the road and crowds of people sang and praised him. Jesus healed the blind man and arrived at the temple to find the tax collectors and chief priests holding court and festivities. The priests watched Jesus and his disciples and were envious and jealous of Jesus's effect on the people. They tried to find fault with Jesus after he became angry and threw the tax collectors from the temple. But it was Jesus's friends, his disciples, who betrayed him when the soldiers came to the garden, not the priests or people. The offering was collected by Karen Hoegy and Ian Wilbee.
