Cheif priests
Jewish priests of high rank in the temple
Explained what happened during the first event of Jesus’ passion (Jesus enteres Jerusalem)
- Jerusalem was the center of the Jewish faith
- crowds welcomed him as a king (leaders wanted to kill him starting around this time)
- he went to the temple and people were selling things and using it as a market place. He told them how awful this was and turned over their tables. This is when more people really start to want to kill him
What two gospels say people really started wanting to kill Jesus after the story of the market place in the temple
Mark and Luke
The last supper
Thursday evening
- Passover celebration w/apostles
- Jesus washes apostles feet. This shows that leadership is service and shows an example of how things shall be when he leaves.
- Jesus says he is the paschal lamb—> Eucharist
Garden of Gethsemane
Thursday night
- goes with apostles to garden to pray (he is fearful but knows what he has to do)
- meanwhile, Judas is leading Jewish leaders to arrest Jesus (turns him in with a kiss)
- Adam disobeyed God in a garden and Jesus obeys Him (also in a garden )
Trail before Sanhedrin
- questioned Jesus
- they were determined to show that he was guilty. This was very hard for them.
- trail was done privately because they didn’t want a bunch of riots
- say Jesus is guilty of blasphemy
- (Jewish leaders are not allowed to condemn him because they are under Roman leaders)
Sanhedrin
Jewish religious leaders
The trial before Pilate
- Friday
- Pilate don’t care about Jewish religious laws so they accused him of treason (says he is putting himself in place of a king) instead
- some gospels say Pilate did not actually think Jesus was guilty
- Jesus knows he will be found guilty
The scourging
- scourged and humiliated
- Roman executions were meant to scare people so they follow the law
- crowned with thorns and clothed in purple cloak (to mock that he claimed to be a king)
- scourged with a whip with bone and metal in it (this tore his skin and this itself could have killed him)
Crucifixion
Friday
- carries cross on bloody back
- carries the weight of OUR sins
- gulgotha
- stripped of his clothes to humiliate him
- nailed to cross
- fulfills MANY Old Testament prophecies
Jesus’ death
Friday
- Jesus had been on the cross for about 6 hours before he died (or less) because he had already lost so much blood from the scourging
- eclipse, earthquake , curtain temple splits (see other slide for more about this)
- body placed in a tomb guarded by soldiers
Curtain in temple splitting
Only high priests were allowed to go behind the curtain. The split symbolizes how ALL people can have a relationship with God.
