Holy Week Bible Reading Plan

Walking Through Holy Week

We’re partway through Holy Week – sometimes today is even called Spy Wednesday, remembering the moment Judas began to look for a way to betray Jesus.

If you've already joined in our Holy Week Bible reading plan, well done – keep going! And if you haven’t started yet, there’s still time to jump in. One of the great blessings of Easter is the chance to walk through the story alongside Jesus – day by day, moment by moment – as we remember His final week before the cross.

The crowds cheering on Palm Sunday, the quiet dinner of Maundy Thursday, the darkness of Good Friday, and the joy of Easter Sunday – it’s a journey that brings us face to face with the love of God and the cost of our salvation. There’s something powerful about slowing down and sitting in the story. These aren’t just events in history – they are our story too. Jesus walked this road for us, and He invites us to walk it with Him.

If you’d like to join in the readings, you’ll find them below. Take a few minutes each day to open your Bible, pray, and reflect. Let this Easter be more than a long weekend – let it be a heart-deep encounter with the risen King.

Palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem with his disciples riding a borrowed donkey. He arrived to much celebration, but it was the beginning of the end of his human life. Read Zechariah 9:9 and Luke 19:28-40

Holy Monday

On Holy Monday, Jesus asserted his authority by throwing out anyone and everyone who was doing business inside the temple complex. The Jewish leaders were less than impressed with the display of power. Read Isaiah 56:1-8 and Luke 19:41-48

Holy Tuesday

On Holy Tuesday, temple leaders challenged Jesus by putting him to the test. Literally. They raised a number of theological debates with him and questioned both his teaching and his God-given authority. Read Psalm 118:19-27, Psalm 110 and Luke 20

Spy Wednesday

On Spy Wednesday, Jesus continued his teaching, which only riled up Jewish leaders. The tipping point came when a woman honoured Jesus by anointing him with really expensive oil. This didn't sit well with Judas, who went straight to the religious authorities and offered to deliver Jesus into their hands. Read Luke 21 and Mark 14:1-11

Maundy Thursday

On Maundy Thursday, after celebrating the Passover with his disciples, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, where Judas betrayed him. He was arrested and tortured while Peter denied him. Read Isaiah 50:4-10 and Luke 22:1-65

Good Friday

On Good Friday, the Jewish leaders, with the help of Pilate, subjected Jesus to a mock trial that resulted in a death sentence for the one who would be called the King of the Jews. He was hastily crucified and quickly buried before the Sabbath began that evening. Read Psalm 22:1-18, Luke 22:66-71 and Luke 23:1-56

Holy Saturday

Holy Saturday is a quiet, often overlooked day. Jesus’ body lies in the tomb. The disciples are scattered, confused, and afraid. It’s a day of waiting and stillness – a day where hope seems lost. But even here, God is at work. Even in the silence, He is preparing resurrection.

Read: Matthew 27:57–66, Psalm 88, 1 Peter 3:18–20

Take time today to be still. To wait. To sit with the silence and remember: God does some of His deepest work in the dark.

Sunday – Easter Sunday

He Is Risen!

The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive!

Easter Sunday is the day of joy, celebration, and new life. Death is defeated. Sin is overcome. And Jesus stands as the risen King, offering eternal life to all who trust in Him, Read Matthew 28:1–10, John 20:1–18, 1 Corinthians 15:1–11

Rejoice today! Christ is risen – and in Him, we rise too.

May God Bless You Today And Always! 

May the Lord supply your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
