this holy week

Palm Sunday:

"So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!' "

Maundy Thursday:

"And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, 'Take; this is my body.' And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, 'This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.' "

"And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, 'Sit here while I pray.' "

"Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, 'The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.' And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, 'Rabbi!' And he kissed him. And they laid hands on him and seized him."

"After a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, ' Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.' But he began to invoke a curse on himself and swear, 'I do not know this man of whom you speak.' And immediately the rooster crowed a second time."

Good Friday:

"And Pilate again said to them, 'Then what should I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?' And they cried out again, 'Crucify him!' And Pilate said to them, 'Why, what evil has he done?' but they shouted all the more, 'Crucify him!' "

"And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take."

"And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, 'Truly this man was the Son of God!' "

"And Joseph brought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb."

Easter Sunday

"Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, 'Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?' But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away."

"He appeared first to Mary Magdalene...she went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping."
