Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on a donkey for the Passover. Along his path, people took palm branches and went out to greet him. They shouted, ‘Hooray! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord! God bless the King of Israel!’
Later, when Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane, Judas the betrayer came with armed guards to arrest Jesus. All of his disciples ran away in fear.
The chief priests brought Jesus before the governor, Pontius Pilate, and demanded that he be put to death. Even though Jesus was innocent, Pilate ordered him to be whipped and crucified. They made Jesus wear a crown of thorns and carry his own cross.
When Mary, Jesus’ mother, and Mary Magdalene came to visit Jesus’ tomb it was empty! An angel was there and said, ‘Don’t be afraid! God has raised him to life!’
