“With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. » (Mark 15:37) “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. » (Luke 23:46) These are the last words of Jesus as recorded in the Bible. This article examines the events leading up to Jesus' death on the cross as well as the controversy caused by these events. The week that led to the death of Jesus and the events that occurred during that week are known as Passion Week. The passion of Jesus is his suffering between the night of the Last Supper and his death on the cross. Five main events occurred during Passion Week: • Jesus going to Jerusalem • Jesus at the Temple • The Last Supper • The arrest of Jesus • The interrogation and crucifixion of Jesus Sunday: Jesus went to Jerusalem on a donkey, which symbolizes humility and peace. When he arrived, he received a grand welcome with people shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! » (Sanders - 252) People called him “King”. He went to Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish Passover. This event fulfills a prophecy in Zechariah, a book of the Old Testament: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Cry aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king comes to you; he is triumphant and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a foal, the foal of a donkey. (Zechariah 9:9) Some scholars believe that either prophecy created the event or that prophecy created history and the event never happened. In this case, we cannot be sure whether Jesus fulfilled a prophecy or whether Christian tradition described him as doing so. I think Jesus actually fulfilled the prophecy. He read the Old Testament prophecy and decided to do as written and ride to Jerusalem on a donkey. Monday: Jesus went to...... middle of paper ...... preaching the word and healing people. As we read the text above, we can say that he went through more than any of us will ever go through and that everything he did was right. It would be hard to imagine what would have happened to Jesus if he had actually done something wrong. He suffered throughout his ministry, even to the point where he hung on the cross. People shouted at him: if you are who you say you are, run away. He had a pretty difficult role, but he died for us on the cross, and thank God he did.Bibliography1. Barker, Kevin L. NIV Study Bible.
