Lent Reading:
The Last Supper

For I received from the Lord
what I also passed on to you:
The Lord Jesus,
on the night he was betrayed, took bread,

and when he had given thanks,
he broke it and said,
“This is my body, which is for you;
do this in remembrance of me.”

In the same way,
after supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood;
do this, whenever you drink it,
in remembrance of me.”

For whenever you eat this bread
and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord’s death
until he comes.

(1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

* * *

This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Ideal for the Season of Lent


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Jesus before Pilate


Lent Reading:
Jesus before Pilate

Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus
from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.
By now it was early morning,
and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness
they did not enter the palace,
because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
 So Pilate came out to them and asked,
“What charges are you bringing against this man?”

“If he were not a criminal,” they replied,
“we would not have handed him over to you.”

Pilate said,
“Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,”
they objected.
This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said
about the kind of death he was going to die.
(John 18:28-32).

This is love:
not that we loved God,

Peter’s Denial

Meanwhile,
Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.
So they asked him,
“You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

“He denied it, saying, “I am not.”

One of the high priest’s servants,
a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,
challenged him,
“Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”
 
Again Peter denied it,
and at that moment a rooster began to crow.

The High Priest Questions Jesus

Meanwhile,
the high priest questioned Jesus
about his disciples and his teaching.

“I have spoken openly to the world,”
Jesus replied.
“I always taught in synagogues
or at the temple,
where all the Jews come together.
I said nothing in secret.

Why question me?
Ask those who heard me.
Surely they know what I said.”

When Jesus said this,
one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face.
“Is this the way you answer the high priest?”
he demanded.

“If I said something wrong,”
Jesus replied,
“testify as to what is wrong.
But if I spoke the truth,
why did you strike me?”

Then Annas sent him bound
to Caiaphas the high priest.

(John 18:19-24).

Jesus Arrested

Then Simon Peter,
who had a sword,
drew it and struck the high priest’s servant,
cutting off his right ear.
(The servant’s name was Malchus.)

Jesus commanded Peter,
“Put your sword away!
Shall I not drink the cup
the Father has given me?”

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander
and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus.
They bound him
 
and brought him first to Annas,
who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,
the high priest that year.
 
Caiaphas was the one
who had advised the Jewish leaders
that it would be good if one man died for the people.
(John 18:10-14).

Judas Comes to the Garden

When he had finished praying,
Jesus left with his disciples
and crossed the Kidron Valley.
On the other side there was a garden,
and he and his disciples went into it.

Now Judas, who betrayed him,
knew the place,
because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.

So Judas came to the garden,
guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials
from the chief priests and the Pharisees.
They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

(John 18:1-3).

Ideal for the Season of Lent


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

If you’ve heard the story of Passion Week so often it’s become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus’s humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will stun you afresh with how completely Christ’s resurrection changed history, one life at a time.
