JESUS THE FINAL DAYS IN JERUSALEM

PICTURE 01
Jesus told His disciples, “When we get to Jerusalem, the Son of God will be crucified and after three days, He will rise from the dead!”
PICTURE 02
As they neared Jerusalem, the people waved branches shouting, “Hosanna! Save us Lord! Save us!”
PICTURE 03
The Priests were cheating the common people of money, so Jesus gave them a good whipping.
PICTURE 04
Every evening they would leave Jerusalem, sometimes Jesus would stay with his friend Lazarus.
PICTURE 05
The following day they would all return to the temple.
PICTURE 06
The religious people shouted at Jesus, “By what authority do you do these things?” Jesus responded;
PICTURE 07
 “Was John the Baptist from man or from God?” They whispered;
PICTURE 08
 “If we say it was God, Jesus will ask why we ignored John. If we say it wasn’t God, the people will turn against us.” S
they replied,
PICTURE 09
 “We can’t answer you”. Jesus responded, “Neither will I answer you.”
PICTURE 10
In the temple a widow placed her last two coins in the offering, Jesus said, “This woman has given more than the rich, for they have plenty left.”
PICTURE 11
Overlooking Jerusalem Jesus told His followers that the magnificent temple would be destroyed.
PICTURE 12
That evening at supper, a woman arrived with some expensive perfume and anointed Jesus. Judas said;
PICTURE 13
 “What a waste! The perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor!”
PICTURE 14
For a sum of money, Judas plotted with the religious leaders to assassinate Jesus.
PICTURE 15
The Passover celebration arrived, so Jesus and His disciples journeyed to the upper room for the feast.
PICTURE 16
 Jesus broke the bread saying, “My body will be broken like this for you.”
PICTURE 17
Then He passed round the wine, “My blood is to be poured out for you. Do this in remembrance of me”
PICTURE 18
To their surprise, he then began washing their feet.
PICTURE 19
“The greatest among you, is the servant of all” Then Jesus said;
PICTURE 20
 “The one who dips bread in the dish with me, he will betray me.”
PICTURE 21
The Lord spoke to Judas, “Do it quickly!” And Judas went out into the night.
PICTURE 22
Then they went to the garden of Gethsamene, Peter said;
PICTURE 23
“Lord, I will never leave you.” Jesus replied;
PICTURE 24
“Peter before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.” Then Jesus left.
PICTURE 25
And went to pray by himself.
PICTURE 26
Suddenly, they were surrounded by Roman soldiers, “Who is Jesus?” “I am” said the Lord, Judas said;
PICTURE 27
 “Greetings teacher.” Jesus replied, “Are you betraying the Son of God with a Kiss.”
PICTURE 28
Jesus was placed in a mock trial before the religious leaders. “Do you claim to be God’s Son?” “Yes,” replied the Lord. The High Priest screamed;
PICTURE 29
 “He deserves to be put to death!”
PICTURE 30
In the courtyard, just as Peter denied the Lord for the third time, he heard the cockcrow.
PICTURE 31
The soldiers blindfolded Jesus, “If you are God’s Son, then tell us who hit you?”
PICTURE 32
When the religious leaders bought Jesus to Pilate, Pilate found him not guilty of any crime.
PICTURE 33
Then the delegation took Jesus to King Herod. Herod laughed;
PICTURE 34
 “You call yourself a king?” So they dressed Him in one of the king’s robes. But Herod also found Him not guilty, and sent Him back to Pilate. The religious leaders shouted;
PICTURE 35
“ Kill Him! Kill Him!” To appease them Pilate said;
PICTURE 36
 “I will have Him flogged, and then release Him.”
PICTURE 37
Then they placed a crown of thorns on His head.
PICTURE 38
Before they flogged Him, they dressed Him in a king’s robe, spat at Him, and bowed saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” The religious leaders shouted;
PICTURE 39
 “Crucify Him!  Crucify Him!” Pilate called for a bowl of water;
PICTURE 40
 “I wash my hands, I am innocent of this man’s blood!”
PICTURE 41
Jesus was handed over to the crowd and was made to carry a cross to the place of execution.
PICTURE 42
When they reached the hill, they stripped Him of His clothes and totally naked, they nailed His hands and feet to the cross.
PICTURE 43
Jesus was lifted up with a criminal on either side. Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them.
PICTURE 44
Pilate ordered a sign to be put on the cross saying, ‘JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS’ One of the criminals shouted;
PICTURE 45
“If you’re the Son of God, why don’t you save yourself, and us.” The other terrorist responded;
PICTURE 46
 “We deserve to be here, but this man is innocent.” Then he turned to Jesus and said;
PICTURE 47
 “Lord, remember me when you come in your kingdom.”  Jesus replied, “Today you will be with me in paradise.”
PICTURE 48
The Roman soldiers played dice, for the Lord’s clothing and some religious leader’s mocked saying;
PICTURE 49
 “If you’re the Son of God, save yourself!”
PICTURE 50
One of the soldiers gave Jesus a drink from a sponge on a stick. At three o’clock, Jesus cried out;
PICTURE 51
 “It is finished! Father into your hands I commit my spirit.”
PICTURE 52
Then He bowed His head and died.
PICTURE 53
Just then there was a great earthquake.
PICTURE 54
And there was a great panic among the religious leaders. The Roman centurion said;
PICTURE 55
“Surely this man is the Son of God.” When the soldiers found Jesus to be dead;
PICTURE 56
They stabbed Him.
PICTURE 57
Nicodemus asked Pilate, for permission to put the body in his own tomb.
PICTURE 58
They wrapped the body of the Lord in burial clothes. It was then sealed in the tomb and guards were appointed.
PICTURE 59
Three days later there was an earthquake, then when an angel appeared.
PICTURE 60
The guards fell to the ground like dead men.
PICTURE 61
Three women believers were making their way to the tomb, the angel said to them;
PICTURE 62
 “Do you remember Jesus told you, He would rise again after three days and nights.”
PICTURE 63
When the women told the disciples, they refused to believe.
PICTURE 64
So Peter and John ran to the tomb.
PICTURE 65
But they found it empty just as the women had said.
PICTURE 66
Later the Lord appeared to one of the women outside the tomb.
PICTURE 67
The same day the Lord walked with two of His followers and explained from the scriptures how the Messiah must suffer.
PICTURE 68
As the disciples ate supper, Jesus appeared saying, “Why do you doubt? Peace I bring to you.”
PICTURE 69
“It is I Jesus, look at the nail prints in my hands and feet.”  But many still did not believe.
PICTURE 70
Sometime later, the men had been fishing all night and had caught nothing. A man on the shore shouted;
PICTURE 71
 “Cast your net on the other side and you will catch some fish.”
PICTURE 72
They did and they caught so many fish they couldn’t land the net. One of the men said;
PICTURE 73
 “It must be the Lord.”
PICTURE 74
So Peter jumped out of the boat and made his way to the shore.
PICTURE 75
The others dragged the catch of fish onto the beach. The Lord said to them;
PICTURE 76
 “Come, dine with me.” Some time later Jesus said to His followers;
PICTURE 77
“Go into all the world, and preach the good news to every person.  Whoever believes and is baptised, will be saved.
PICTURE 78
Jesus was taken up to heaven in a cloud of power and glory.
PICTURE 79
Then Peter and the followers started to meet in an upstairs room in Jerusalem.
PICTURE 80
One day a rushing wind with flames of fire came from heaven, and, as they were filled with the Holy Spirit, they began to speak in new languages.
PICTURE 81
Peter boldly preached “God promised that He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh, in the last days.”
PICTURE 82
That same day around three thousand people were saved and baptised. These events took place in the year 33.
