Questions for family discussion
For younger children. Let’s ask the 5 W questions.
- Who are the people in this story? What do you know about them from other stories in the Bible?
- Where are they?
- When did this take place (before and after what events)?
- What is each person doing or saying?
- Why did Judas say what he did?
- Why did Jesus say what he did?
- What does this show us about Jesus?
For older children and adults
- Four people, beside Jesus, are named in this narrative. How is each one interacting with him?
- If you know the context of the setting and the background of the characters, why do you think they relate to Jesus in these ways?
- The focus of this narrative is on Mary’s anointing of Jesus. What does Jesus say about her? What does this show you about him?
- What does Jesus say about himself? What does he want those listening to know about him?
- Why does Jesus say “the poor you will always have with you?”
- What has Jesus done for you this week, this year, for eternity? How have you responded?
