Question 5

Matthew 26:36 – 56, mark 14:32 – 52, Luke 22:39 – 53

  1. The experiences of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane
  2. Lessons Christians can learn from Jesus’ experiences.

 

Observation

This was a popular question attempted by most candidates. Most candidates that answered it knew the story line of the event.  Their performance was quite good in it. They gave a good account of the experience of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. However, it was noticed that some candidates mistook the event of what happened in Gethsemane to be the transfiguration of Jesus Christ thereby lost out of the points totally.  In the B part of the question, candidates were able to mention the lessons derived from the answers they gave in A. On the whole, candidates’ performance in this question was very impressive.
