After condemning Him of blasphemy, the chief priests and elders bring Jesus to the Roman governor Pilate in order to convince him that Jesus was worthy of death. Pilate eventually gives in to their persistent demands and delivers Jesus to be crucified. After Jesus had died, His body is prepared and laid in a new tomb by Joseph of Arimathaea, a just man who was a secret disciple of Jesus.
In this chapter, we focus on the verses describing Jesus’ final Passover meal, His betrayal by Judas and subsequent arrest, and Peter’s denial of Jesus three times before the cock crowed the next morning. All of these events were laden with significance and emotion as Jesus proceeded to fulfill the OT prophesies that had been made concerning His suffering and death on the cross.
Jesus and His disciples were at the temple when one of them comments on the beauty of the temple and how expensively it was decorated. Jesus responds with the prediction that everything they were seeing would one day be totally destroyed. The disciples were amazed that God would allow the destruction of the temple and so they understandably wanted to know more.
