When I was growing up, the Sunday before Palm Sunday was called Passion Sunday and the readings shifted to emphasis on the coming passion. The Gospel for Monday showed the pharisees attempting to arrest Jesus. Tuesday found Jesus could no longer "walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him." They could not touch Him of course because His "time had not yet come." On Wednesday, the Jews try to stone Him in the temple when He challenges them for their disbelief. On Thursday Jesus goes to the pharisee's house who shows his disrespect by omitting the signs of respect to a guest. But the sinful woman comes and washes His feet with her tears and gives Jesus the opportunity to share the parable of the two debtors forgiven their debts and show once more that He has the power to forgive sins.On Friday, the pharisees meet to conspire and arrange for "one man to die for the people."
