Whose Image is This? (Palm Sunday 2026)

About this episode

Rev Charlie Lacey discusses the events of Palm Sunday and the interaction between Jesus and the Pharisees as described in Mark 12: 13-17.

by Rev Charlie Lacey | Mark 12: 13-17 Mark 12: 13-17 (NIV) When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds welcomed him as their King, with shouts of joy and great excitement. But the mood soon began to change. The chief priests and teachers of the law were determined to arrest Jesus, so they sent the Pharisees with a question that they believed would trap him. Jesus gave what was perhaps the cleverest of all his answers, but first he asked the Pharisees a question of his own.
