The Story of Easter that he gave
his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn
the world; but that the
world through him
might be saved. (John
3:16-17)
The Last
Supper And his disciples
went forth, and came into the city, and found as he said
unto them: and they made ready
for the passover. And in the evening he
cometh with the twelve. (Mark
14:16-17) And as
they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and
said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup,
and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them:
and they all drank of it. And he said unto
them, This is my blood of
the new testament, which is shed for
many. Verily I say unto
you. I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I
drink it new in the kingdom of God. (Mark
14:22-25) Then the soldiers of the
governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him
the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped
him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had
platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his
head, and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the
knee before him, and mocked him, saying Hail King of
the Jews! And they spit on him,
and took the reed, and smote him on the
head. And after that they
had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own
raiment on him and led him away to crucify him. (Matthew 27:27-31) And as
they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming
out of the country, and on him they laid
the cross, that he might bear it
after Jesus. And there followed
him a great company of people and women, which also bewailed
and lamented him. (Luke
23:26-27). And
when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors,
one on the right hand, and the other on the
left. Then said Jesus,
Father forgive them; for they know not
what they do. (Luke
23:33-34) Then
the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments,
and made four parts, to every soldier a
part; and also his coat: now the coat was
without seam, woven from the top
throughout. They said therefore
among themselves, Let us not rend
it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be:
that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my
raiment among them, and for my vesture
they did cast lots. These things
therefore the soldiers did. (John 19:23-24) And it was about the
sixth hour, and there was
darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And the sun was
darkened, and the vail of the
temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had
cried out with a loud voice, he said, Father into
thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus,
he gave up the ghost. Now when the
centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a
righteous man. (Luke 23:44-47) When the even was
come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who
also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had
taken the body, he wrapped it in a
clean linen cloth, and laid it in his
own new tomb, which he had hewn out
in the rock: and he rolled a great
stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
(Matthew
27:57-60) Mary the mother of
Joses beheld where he was laid. (Mark
15:47) And very early in the
morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said
among themselves, Who shall roll us
away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked,
they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the
sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a long
white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto
them, Be not affrighted: ye
seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified:
he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell
his disciples and Peter that he goeth before
you into Galilee: there shall ye see
him, as he said unto you. (Mark
16:2-7) So
then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up
into heaven and sat on the right
hand of God. And they went forth,
and preached every where, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the
word with signs following. Amen. (Mark
16:19-20)
For God so loved the world,
Jesus is
Crucified
Jesus Dies and Is
Buried
Jesus is Risen!
