The Longest Week
A deal, a garden, a cross, an empty tomb.
Anointed at Bethany
A woman pours expensive perfume on Jesus. The disciples say it's wasteful. Jesus says she's preparing him for burial.
The Plot Against Jesus
The religious leaders have had enough. They start scheming in secret to arrest and kill Jesus before the festival ends.
Judas Makes a Deal
Thirty silver coins. That's the price Judas puts on Jesus. He walks to the priests and offers to hand him over.
Palm Sunday
Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey. Crowds wave palms and shout 'Hosanna!' The king arrives — but not how anyone expected.
The Last Supper
His final meal with his 12 closest friends. Bread and wine become his body and blood. One of them is about to betray him.
Gethsemane
'Take this cup from me. But not my will — yours.' In crushing sorrow, Jesus chooses obedience over escape.
Arrested in the Garden
A kiss from Judas. Torches and swords. Peter swings a sword and cuts off an ear. Jesus heals it and surrenders.
Before the Sanhedrin
False witnesses, loaded questions, and one honest answer: 'I am.' The high priest tears his robes. Guilty of blasphemy.
Peter's Three Denials
'I don't know him.' Three times. Then the rooster crows. Peter remembers and breaks down crying.
Jesus Before Pilate
Pilate finds no fault in him. The crowd screams for crucifixion. He washes his hands and hands Jesus over.
The Crucifixion
They mocked him, beat him, and nailed him to a cross. The sky went dark. He said 'It is finished' and gave up his spirit.
Buried in a Borrowed Tomb
Joseph of Arimathea takes the body down, wraps it in linen, and places it in his own new tomb. A stone seals the entrance.
The Resurrection
Three days later, the tomb is empty. He's alive. Everything he said was true. The greatest comeback in history.
The Road to Emmaus
Two heartbroken disciples walk home. A stranger joins them and explains the Scriptures. When he breaks bread, they realize — it's Jesus.
Doubting Thomas
'Unless I put my finger in the nail holes, I won't believe.' Jesus shows up and says 'go ahead.' Thomas falls to his knees.
The Great Commission
'Go and make disciples of all nations.' Jesus gives the final mission statement before leaving earth.
