John 19:
Jesus was flogged and
tortured by Roman soldiers. They placed a crown of thorns on his head and called
him King of the Jews. Pilate told the Jews that he found Jesus innocent, but
the Jews wanted Jesus killed because he claimed to be the Son of God. Pilate
wanted to know where Jesus came from, but Jesus did not say. Pilate tried to
free Jesus, but the Jews demanded that to set Jesus free was to oppose Caesar as
king. Pilate asked the Jews if he should crucify their king, but the Jews
said they had no king but Caesar. So Pilate believed that Jesus was the
King of the Jews; it was the Jews that accepted Caesar as king. So Pilate
prepared a sign to hang on Jesus' cross in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. The sign
read: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. Pilate wanted to spite the Jews
and he refused to change the sign even with the protest of the chief priests.
Jesus died and was buried.
John 20:
Mary
Magdalene informs Peter and John that the body of Jesus has been removed from
the tomb. They went to the tomb and found Jesus' burial clothes, but no body.
May stayed at the tomb and soon saw two angels and Jesus. Jesus told her to go
tell the disciples that he was about to return to God. Jesus soon appeared to
the disciples in a locked room because they were scared of the Jews and he
showed them his hands and sides. Jesus breathed on them and gave them the
Holy Spirit. He also sent them to preach and gave them the power of
forgiveness. Jesus appeared to the disciples a week later and this time
Thomas was with them. Thomas now believed because he saw Jesus, but Jesus
blessed are those that believe but have not seen. |

John 21:
The disciples went to fish
and saw Jesus by the shores. Jesus made them catch lots of fishes and they soon
realized that it was Jesus. The disciples got on shore with their huge catch and
Jesus invited them for breakfast. So they ate bread and fish. This was Jesus'
third appearance to them. Jesus charged Peter to take care of his sheep.
Acts 1:
Jesus
showed the apostles proof that he resurrected and instructed them through the
Holy Spirit for 40 days. Jesus told them to stay in Jerusalem until they are
baptized with the gift of the Holy Spirit and they should be his witness around
the world. Jesus was soon taken up into the sky in their presence and two angels
came to remind them that Jesus will return to them. The disciples and Jesus
family elected Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot. |
