Palm Sunday
Despite warnings that evil
men attempt on his life , Jesus went up
to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover - a feast to commemorate the escape of Israel from Egypt under Moses . When he came to town, riding on a borrowed donkey, he was greeted by a large crowd .
" Hosanna ," they shouted . " These greetings for the Son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord «
When he entered the city gates, the crowd threw palm branches before him on the road - the green carpet welcome , as the donkey carried him into the city of David (Jerusalem).
But his enemies looked welcoming, and they decided that he should die . They feared that those who welcomed a son , David , will claim the throne of David.

Good Friday
Jesus knew that his
enemies were preparing his death . He said to
his disciples , when they met to celebrate Easter Dinner (now called the Last Supper ) . During dinner, he took bread , broke it and gave it to them. " This - my body ," he said , " which is broken for you! Do this in remembrance of me . " Strange words , but the stranger was to follow . "You'll leave me ," he said , " and one of you will betray me . "
" I will never leave you, " Peter said firmly .
" You will leave , " Jesus replied sadly . " Before the cock crows , you will say three times that did not even know me. "
They came from dinner at the moonlit olive garden . There, while Jesus prayed , the soldiers arrived , led by Judas - Jesus' own disciple . They arrested Jesus and took him to the high priest , while the disciples fled in the dark, all except John and Peter . They crept along behind the soldiers to see what happens.

In the palace of the
High Priest Jesus , they attracted to the court.
"Are you - the Messiah? " High priest asked in all seriousness his high office .
" Yes, " Jesus said, quietly.
" Blasphemy " , they shouted , and they sentenced him to death . They arranged for him to be taken before Pilate, the Roman governor , first thing in the morning for Rome could only confirm and execute the death sentence.
Peter and John were in the courtyard. As soon as Jesus was led away from the court , the cock cried , and Peter wept . Now he remembered what Jesus said at the dinner table , and really three times Peter denied knowing Jesus.

In the light of dawn
they led Jesus to a large open space in
front of Pilate's residence and demanded that their death sentence was confirmed and executed. Pilate questioned Jesus , but could not find what he's done something wrong.
keep the Law , "cried the high priest , " and under the Act , he deserves to die . "
Led by agitators crowd now began to sing , " Crucify ! Crucify ! Crucify him! " Fearing that will riot , Pilate surrendered. He asked for a bowl of water , and he steps up there solemnly washed his hands at the sight of the crowd .
" Look," he said, " I am innocent of the blood of this just man . Do with it as you want. "
They brought Jesus outside the city wall, and there between two thieves on a hill called Calvary , they crucified him . One of the thieves - perhaps to ease their own pain - mocked Jesus, " If you - the Son of God , we will go down with these crosses " But the other thief rebuked him . "At least , we have what we deserve ," he said , " but he did not do anything wrong. " Then turning to Jesus, he said , "Master , when you arrive in your kingdom , remember me. "
Jesus answered slowly , as death was very close, "Truly I tell you , today you will be with me in Paradise. "
