Lesson Eight

Lesson Eight
Read the information in the institute student manual about "The Last Day of Jesus' Mortal Mission" (pgs. 135-137). Then fill in the following chart with key events that took place during the Savior's final week of mortality:
Day 1 Jesus arrived at Jerusalem riding a colt.  He was welcomed with a Hosanna shout from the people in attendance.  He went to the temple, then retired to Bethany.
Day 2 Jesus cleansed the temple by throwing out all those that were selling and trading within the temple court. He retired to Bethany.
Day 3 Jesus is challenged by the priests, scribes, and Pharisees.  He teaches several parables that illustrate the wrong doings of those that challenge Him.
Day 4 Nothing is known about this day.
Day 5 Jesus celebrates Passover with the Apostles, introduces the Sacrament, and prophesies about his death.  Jesus and the Apostles go to Gethsemane and begins the Atonement. Jesus is betrayed by Judas and is arrested and tried.
Day 6 Jesus is found guilty of blasphemy, and innocent of sedition against the state.  He is sentenced to death because Pilate is afraid of a riot. He is hung on a cross and voluntarily gives up his life (gave up the ghost).  His body is brought down from the cross and placed in a tomb.
Day 7 While His body lay in the tomb Jesus went to the world of spirits and ministered there.
Day of the Resurrection Christ rose from the tomb and appeared to Mary, the Apostles, and others.
