Jesus continued teaching in the Temple, saying, “I am the light of the world: whoever follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Jesus wept over the city because the people still did not recognize him as the promised Savior.

Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, and Judas conspired with the chief priests and captains about how he might betray Jesus. They were glad, and agreed to give him thirty pieces of silver to inform them of a time and a place they could capture Jesus when there were no crowds around Him.

Jesus knew that His hour to die had come, so He gathered His disciples together for a Passover dinner. As they ate, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, gave it to them, saying, “Take, eat: this is My body, broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”
And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, he gave it to them; and they all drank. And He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Jesus said, “Don't let yourselves be upset: you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions, and I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again to get you, so that you can be with Me. And you know where I am going and you know the way to get there. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father except through me.”
After supper, Jesus walked to a garden called Gethsemane for a time of prayer. His disciples followed Him to this secluded place.

After His prayer, the chief priests and captains of the temple and the elders arrived there, looking for Jesus. Judas, leading the group, approached Jesus, greeting Him with a kiss of betrayal.
The temple officers who held Jesus ridiculed Him and spit in His face. And when they had blindfolded Him, they punched Him and slapped Him on the face, and then said, “Prophesy you holy man. Who hit you?”
Early the next morning, the crowd led Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow corrupting our Jewish nation.”
But after questioning Jesus, Pilate told the chief priests, the rulers and the people; “He has done nothing worthy of death. I'll just order Him to be beaten and then release Him.”
But they called out all at once, saying, “Get rid of this man. Crucify Him. Crucify Him.”

Pilate, wanting to satisfy the people, had Jesus brutally whipped, and then turned Him over to be crucified.
They nailed Jesus, God's only beloved son, to the cross. As they did this, Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; they don't know what they are doing.”
6 hours later Jesus called out, “It is finished. Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” Then He bowed His head, and let His spirit go.
Now, after three days, there was a great earthquake, and an angel of the Lord rolled back the stone from the tomb's door. When followers of Jesus came to the tomb and saw the stone moved, they were confused.

Suddenly, two men stood by them in shining garments, saying: Why are you looking for the living among the dead? He is not here, He is risen!
Who is this that appears like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession? Song of Solomon 6:10
