This is the second instalment in our study of the Alabaster Box events (I made the case for two events last time). This episode considers the event which stands alone in Luke's gospel.

There are four accounts across the gospels about a woman anointing Jesus with perfume. There is some debate about them all telling of the same event, or if there were in fact two instances.

I'll show my own hand on that conclusion in this episode. Then, we'll take around three episodes to explore all four accounts. There's so much to take in across them all!

This is better known as the parable of the Ten Virgins, but maidens is an equally useful description! This is part of the Olivet Discourse, and feeds further into the idea of being ready for "That Day."

This short episode appears in the Olivet Discourse so it's being briefly covered, with the acknowledgement that some of this came up in earlier episodes. One part of the teaching has not thus far, so this serves as a chance to look at that particular section.

This is the 4th instalment of the Olivet Discourse - the part where Jesus speaks specifically about the end of the age.
