For a full list of Scriptures, or for more Passion Week resources,\u00a0visit our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Previous posts:<\/em><\/p>\n The betrayal (Luke 22:47-53):<\/strong><\/p>\n While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man calledJudas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,\u00a0but Jesus said to him,\u00a0\u201cJudas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?\u201d\u00a0And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, \u201cLord, shall we strike\u00a0with the sword?\u201d\u00a0And one of them struck the servant\u00a0of the high priest and cut off his right ear.\u00a0But Jesus said,\u00a0\u201cNo more of this!\u201d\u00a0And he touched his ear and healed him.\u00a0Then Jesus said to the chief priests and\u00a0officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him,\u00a0\u201cHave you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?\u00a0When\u00a0I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is\u00a0your hour, and\u00a0the power of darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; John 18:2-11)<\/p>\n Christ before Annas and Caiaphas (Mark 14:53-54):<\/strong><\/p>\n And\u00a0they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.\u00a0And\u00a0Peter had followed him at a distance,\u00a0right into\u00a0the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with\u00a0the guards and\u00a0warming himself at the fire.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 26:57-58; Luke 22:54; John 18:15-27)<\/p>\n Peter’s denial (Mark 14:66-72):<\/strong><\/p>\n And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,\u00a0and seeing Peter\u00a0warming himself, she looked at him and said, \u201cYou also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.\u201d\u00a0But he denied it, saying, \u201cI neither know nor understand what you mean.\u201d And he went out into the gateway\u00a0and\u00a0the rooster crowed.\u00a0And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, \u201cThis man is one of them.\u201dBut again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, \u201cCertainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.\u201d\u00a0But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, \u201cI do not know this man of whom you speak.\u201d\u00a0And immediately the rooster crowed\u00a0a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him,\u00a0\u201cBefore the rooster crows twice, you will\u00a0deny me three times.\u201d\u00a0And he broke down and wept.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 26:69-75; Luk 22:54-65; Jhn 18:15-27)<\/p>\n Christ before the sanhedrin (Luke 22:66-71):<\/strong><\/p>\n When day came,\u00a0the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to theircouncil, and they\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201cIf you are\u00a0the Christ, tell us.\u201d But he said to them,\u00a0\u201cIf I tell you, you will not believe,\u00a0and if I ask you, you will not answer.\u00a0But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated\u00a0at the right hand of the power of God.\u201d\u00a0So they all said, \u201cAre you\u00a0the Son of God, then?\u201d And he said to them,\u00a0\u201cYou say that I am.\u201d\u00a0Then they said, \u201cWhat further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.\u201d<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 26:59-68; Mark 14:55-65)<\/p>\n Christ before Pilate (Mark 15:1-5):<\/strong><\/p>\n And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests\u00a0held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And\u00a0they bound Jesus andled him away and\u00a0delivered him over to\u00a0Pilate.\u00a0And Pilate asked him,\u201cAre you the King of the Jews?\u201d And he answered him,\u00a0\u201cYou have said so.\u201d\u00a0And the chief priests accused him of many things.\u00a0And Pilate again asked him,\u00a0\u201cHave you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.\u201d\u00a0But Jesus\u00a0made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 27:1, 2, 11-14; Luke 23:1-6; John 18:12-28)<\/p>\n Christ before Herod (Luke 23:7-12):<\/strong><\/p>\n And when he learned that he belonged to\u00a0Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.\u00a0When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad,\u00a0for he had long desired to see him,because he had heard about him, and he was hoping\u00a0to see some sign done by him.\u00a0So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer.\u00a0The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.\u00a0And Herod with his soldiers\u00a0treated him with contempt and\u00a0mocked him. Then,\u00a0arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.And\u00a0Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.<\/p>\n Accusation and condemnation (Mark 12-15):<\/strong><\/p>\n And Pilate again said to them, \u201cThen what shall I do with\u00a0the man you call the King of the Jews?\u201d\u00a0And they cried out again, \u201cCrucify him.\u201d\u00a0And Pilate said to them, \u201cWhy,\u00a0what evil has he done?\u201d But they shouted all the more, \u201cCrucify him.\u201d\u00a0So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having\u00a0scourged\u00a0Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.<\/p>\n (Also: Mark 15:6-15; Matthew 27:15-26; Luke 23:13-25; John 18:29; 19:16)<\/p>\n Treatment by the soldiers (John 19:1-3):<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Pilate took Jesus and\u00a0flogged him.\u00a0And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.\u00a0They came up to him, saying, \u201cHail, King of the Jews!\u201d and struck him with their hands.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 27:27-31; Mark 15:16-20; Luke 23:36,37; John 19:1-3)<\/p>\n The crucifixion (John 19:16-24):<\/strong><\/p>\n So he\u00a0delivered him over to them to be crucified.<\/p>\n So they took Jesus,\u00a0and\u00a0he went out,\u00a0bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha.There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.\u00a0Pilate\u00a0also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, \u201cJesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.\u201d\u00a0Many of the Jews read this inscription, for\u00a0the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.\u00a0So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, \u201cDo not write, \u2018The King of the Jews,\u2019 but rather, \u2018This man said, I am King of the Jews.\u2019\u201d\u00a0Pilate answered,\u00a0\u201cWhat I have written I have written.\u201d<\/p>\n When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.\u00a0But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom,\u00a0so they said to one another, \u201cLet us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.\u201d\u00a0This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,<\/p>\n \u201cThey divided my garments among them, So the soldiers did these things<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 27:32-38; Mark 15:21-28; Luke 23:26-34)<\/p>\n Mockings and railings (Mark 15:29-32):<\/strong><\/p>\n And\u00a0those who passed by derided him,\u00a0wagging their heads and saying,\u201cAha!\u00a0You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,save yourself, and come down from the cross!\u201d\u00a0So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying,\u00a0\u201cHe saved others;\u00a0he cannot save himself.\u00a0Let\u00a0the Christ,\u00a0the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may\u00a0see and believe.\u201d\u00a0Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 27:39-44; Luke 23:35-39)<\/p>\n The death of Christ (Luke 23:46):<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus,\u00a0calling out with a loud voice, said,\u00a0\u201cFather,\u00a0into your hands Icommit my spirit!\u201d\u00a0And having said this\u00a0he breathed his last.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 27:50; Mark 15:37; John 19:28-30)<\/p>\n The side pierced (John 19:31-37):<\/strong><\/p>\n Since it was\u00a0the day of Preparation, and\u00a0so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was\u00a0a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.\u00a0So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other\u00a0who had been crucified with him.\u00a0But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.\u00a0But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came outblood and water.\u00a0He who saw it has borne witness\u2014his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth\u2014that you also may believe.\u00a0For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled:\u00a0\u201cNot one of his bones\u00a0will be broken.\u201d\u00a0And again another Scripture says,\u00a0\u201cThey will look on him whom they have pierced.\u201d<\/p>\n The burial (John 19:38-42):<\/strong><\/p>\n After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly\u00a0for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.\u00a0Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus\u00a0by night, came\u00a0bringing a mixture of\u00a0myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five poundsin weight.\u00a0So they took the body of Jesus and\u00a0bound it in\u00a0linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.\u00a0Now in the place where he was crucified there was a\u00a0garden, and\u00a0in the garden a new tomb\u00a0in which no one had yet been laid.\u00a0So because of the Jewish\u00a0day of Preparation,\u00a0since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.<\/p>\n (Also: Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In recognition of Passion Week, we will post the Scriptural narrative from Christ\u2019s triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to His death and resurrection, all throughout the week.
