Gospel Reading:
The Crucifixion of Jesus

As they were going out,
they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon,
and they forced him to carry the cross.
They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).
There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall;
but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.
Above his head they placed the written charge against him:
this is jesus, the king of the jews.

Two rebels were crucified with him,
one on his right and one on his left.
Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying,
“You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself!
Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”
 
In the same way the chief priests
the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.
“He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself!
He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross,
and we will believe in him.
He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him,
for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
(Matthew 27:32-44).

* * *

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:
We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

(1 John 3:24 NIV)

Gospel Reading:
The Soldiers Mock Jesus

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium
and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 
and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head.
They put a staff in his right hand.
Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him.
“Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.
They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
After they had mocked him,
they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him.
Then they led him away to crucify him.

(Matthew 27:27-31).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Before Pilate

Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him,
“Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?” 
But Jesus made no reply,
not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.

Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. 
At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.
So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them,
“Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.

While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message:
“Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man,
for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.

“Barabbas,” they answered.

“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked.

They all answered, “Crucify him!”

“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting,
he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd.

“I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”

All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”

Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
(Matthew 27:11-26).

* * *

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:
We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

LORD God,
I love you. I know that you love me
because Jesus showed the extent of your love.

I want to spend my day with you.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Judas Hangs Himself

Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders
of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.
So they bound him,
led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.

When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned,
he was seized with remorse
and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.
 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”

“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”

So Judas threw the money into the temple and left.
Then he went away and hanged himself.

The chief priests picked up the coins and said,
“It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 
Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
“They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,

 and they used them to buy the potter’s field,
as the Lord commanded me.”
(Matthew 27:1-10).

* * *

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:
We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Gospel Reading:
Peter Disowns Jesus

Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard,
and a servant girl came to him.
“You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

But he denied it before them all.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

Then he went out to the gateway,
where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there,
“This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

He denied it again, with an oath:
“I don’t know the man!”

After a little while,
those standing there went up to Peter and said,
“Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them,
“I don’t know the man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken:
“Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”
And he went outside and wept bitterly.
(Matthew 26:69-75).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Arrested

Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest,
where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.
But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest.
He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus
so that they could put him to death.
But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.

Finally two came forward  and declared, “This fellow said,
‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer?
What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”
 But Jesus remained silent.

The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God:
Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you:
From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[a]

Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy!
Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
What do you think?”

“He is worthy of death,” they answered.

Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.
Others slapped him
 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”
(Matthew 26:57-68).

* * *

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Arrested

While he was still speaking, Judas,
one of the Twelve, arrived.
With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs,
sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them:
“The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”
Going at once to Jesus, Judas said,
“Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”

Then the men stepped forward,
seized Jesus and arrested him.
With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,
drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him,
“for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Do you think I cannot call on my Father,
and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

In that hour Jesus said to the crowd,
“Am I leading a rebellion,
that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me?
Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.
But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

(Matthew 26:47-56).

Gospel Reading:
Gethsemane

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane,
and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him,
and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
Then he said to them,
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.
Stay here and keep watch with me.”

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed,
“My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me.
Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.
“Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

He went away a second time and prayed,
“My Father, if it is not possible for this cup
to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

 When he came back, he again found them sleeping,
because their eyes were heavy.
So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
saying the same thing.

Then he returned to the disciples and said to them,
“Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come,
and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
(Matthew 26:36-46).

“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered,
“this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”

But Peter declared,
“Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.”
And all the other disciples said the same.

You hold us accountable.
Show us your mercy.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
The Parable of the Bags of Gold

“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey,
who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.
To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,
each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and
put his money to work and gained five bags more.
So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.
But the man who had received one bag went off,
dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five.
‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!
You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.
Come and share your master’s happiness!’

“The man with two bags of gold also came.
‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!
You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.
Come and share your master’s happiness!’

“Then the man who had received one bag of gold came.
‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man,
harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

“His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant!
So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers,
so that when I returned, I would have received it back with interest.

“‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.
For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.
Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

(Matthew 25:14-30).

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:
We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

(1 John 3:24 NIV)
