The Resurrection

I am the resurrection and the life.  Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.

Holy Week Day 7: Holy Saturday

The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate  and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.”  Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.”  So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

Matthew 27:62-66

Holy Week Day 6 : Good Friday

After this, aware that everything was now finished, 
in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, 
Jesus said, "I thirst."
There was a vessel filled with common wine.
So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop 
and put it up to his mouth.
When Jesus had taken the wine, he said,
"It is finished."
And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

John 18:28-30

Holy Week Day 5 : Holy Thursday

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, 

“Master, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus answered and said to him,

“What I am doing, you do not understand now,

but you will understand later.”

Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered him, 

“Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”

Simon Peter said to him, 
“Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.”

John 13: 6-9

Holy Week Day 4 : Holy Wednesday

Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I betray him to you?” They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him.

Matthew 26:14-16

Holy Week Day 3 : Holy Tuesday

Then, surrounded by the Pharisees,Jesus  asked them a question: "What do you think about the Messiah Whose son is he?" They replied, "He is the son of David" The LORD said to my Lord, Sit in honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies beneath your feet. Since David called him Lord, how can he be his son at the same time?" No one could answer him. And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Matthew 22:41-46

Holy Week Day 2: Jesus Clears the Temple

and he said, “It is written,

‘My house shall be a house of prayer’;

    but you have made it a den of robbers.”

Holy Week Day 1 :Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

As he rode along,
the people were spreading their cloaks on the road; 
and now as he was approaching the slope of the Mount of Olives, 
the whole multitude of his disciples
began to praise God aloud with joy
for all the mighty deeds they had seen.
They proclaimed:
“Blessed is the king who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest.”
Luke 19"36-38
