The answer is: Sung a hymn

Mark 14:26

After the Last Supper, it’s fascinating to think that Jesus and his disciples took the time to sing a hymn together—what a powerful moment that must have been for them! Mark 14:26 captures this beautiful bid farewell to their shared experience, providing a glimpse into the traditions of worship that were central to their lives. At that time, singing hymns wasn't just about melody; it made a statement of faith and unity. They would typically sing parts of the Hallel, which includes Psalms 113-118—there's your trivia gold!

This singing expression teaches us a lot about Jesus' character. In a time of solemnity and tension, he chose fellowship and joy through song. Considering the emotional weight they bore—a foreboding awareness of the trial to come—there’s something incredibly uplifting in that mutual chorus. Honestly, it brings a visual of a kind of prelude—an emotional buoyancy before facing the heavy events that lay ahead.

Additionally, we can draw parallels to other Biblically significant moments involving music and communal worship. Just think of the joyful singing of Miriam after crossing the Red Sea! (Exodus 15) Music often fills in spaces words can’t quite express, binding the heart of a community. Jesu’s selection of harmony over despair illustrates a broader lesson for us: finding joy in our songs can bring solace, even when life's inevitabilities loom over us. What melodies are we embracing on our journey?
