Well, hello and welcome to another special edition of the Scriptures Are Real, where we are just giving you some aids for Holy Week.

We are so excited to be doing the Holy Week with you this year, and we hope that we can help you and your family as you try to draw closer to the Savior.

And I'm really excited for our guest, one that I'm sure needs no introduction.

This is a friend and colleague at BYU, Dr. Hank Smith.

Thanks for being with us, Hank.

Absolutely.

Dr. Mulestein. I haven't called that in many years.

Good to be with you.

People call me all sorts of worse things than that, but probably you do too.

But anyway, thanks for being here.

So today we're talking about Holy Monday.

And I'm sure when you teach this in your class, you can spend a long time on this, and we won't spend that long here. But what are a couple of things you might talk about when you talk about that sacred day when you're teaching the New Testament?

You got it. You got it. Now, in my mind, I picture, Carrie, Jesus walking every morning from Bethany.

I like to think that he stays in Bethany with his family friends like Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, right?

And I actually like to think of Jesus talking to Lazarus after he raises him from the dead.

And Lazarus is saying, really, did I have to be the lesson?

Well, this is what you do when we were close friends.

Yeah, that's right.

And apparently there's one moment where they're walking to Jerusalem or some,

you know, or back.

And it's about three and a half miles.

So it's a long walk every morning and every evening where they come to this.
