  • Paper 186 – Just Before the Crucifixion

    Jesus was placed in the custody of the Roman soldiers, and Judas Iscariot appeared before the Sanhedrin “to claim the reward for having participated in the Master’s arrest and sentence of death.” “All of these Jews loathed Judas; they

    viewed the betrayer with only feelings of utter contempt.” Consequently, Judas was given “a bag containing thirty pieces of silver — the current price of a good, healthy slave.” “Judas was stunned, dumfounded...” “This onetime
    ambassador of the realm of the Creator on earth now walked through the streets of Jerusalem, forsaken and alone,” finally choosing to commit suicide. Meanwhile, Pilate ordered that the crucifixion of Jesus be carried out
    immediately.

  • Paper 185 – The Trial Before Pilate

    As the death sentence could not be carried out by the Jews, Jesus was taken by the temple guards into the presence of Pilate, the Roman governor, bound and accompanied by about fifty accusers, including the Sanhedrist court, Judas

    Iscariot, and the high priest, Caiaphas. “Pilate would have liked to postpone this hearing, but saw that the Jewish leaders were determined to proceed with the case...” Consequently, Pilate conducted a private hearing and then tried to avoid responsibility by ordering that Jesus be taken before Herod, whose jurisdiction included Galilee. But Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate, who then held a public hearing on the steps of the praetorium. The crowd, spurred on by the religious leaders, called for Jesus to be crucified.

  • Paper 184 – Before the Sanhedrin Court

    “Jesus spent about three hours at the palace of Annas on Mount Olivet, not far from the garden of Gethsemane.” After this interrogation, Annas sent Jesus to the palace of Caiaphas, the current high priest, who had called the Sanhedrist court of inquiry together in order to put Jesus on trial. When the court was finished with the hearing, they had drawn up an indictment of Jesus as being worthy of death. Finally, “Jesus was led from the home of Caiaphas to appear

    before Pilate for confirmation of the sentence of death which this Sanhedrist court had so unjustly and irregularly decreed.”

  • Paper 183 – The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

    Judas left the final meal with Jesus and the apostles and proceeded to meet with the temple guards, offering to lead them to Jesus. Judas led the guards to the home where the meal had taken place, but Jesus had already left with the apostles for Gethsemane, so the body of soldiers went directly to the garden. There the arrest took place, and Jesus was taken into custody and delivered to the palace

    of Annas, the former high priest. “And all the way to the palace of Annas, Jesus said nothing. From the time of the arrest to the appearance before Annas, Jesus spoke no word.”

  • Paper 182 – In Gethsemane

    “As Jesus and the eleven made their way back to camp, the apostles began to wonder about the meaning of Judas’s prolonged absence.” “But they did not engage in open comment until they reached the camp and observed that Judas was not there, waiting to receive them.” “David Zebedee and John Mark took Jesus to one side and revealed that they had kept Judas under observation for several days, and that they knew of the intention to betray Jesus into the hands of the enemies.” “None of the apostles expected anything out of the ordinary to happen that night since it was already so late.” “Only David Zebedee and John Mark understood that the enemies of Jesus were coming with Judas that very night.”

  • Paper 181 – Final Admonitions and Warnings

    “At last it was beginning to dawn on these Galileans that their friend and teacher was going to leave them, and their hope grasped at the promise that Jesus, after a little while, would again be with them, but they were prone to forget

    that this return visit was also for a little while. On this occasion, Jesus took each of the apostles aside and spoke with them individually, giving them words of advice and comfort.

  • Paper 180 – The Farewell Discourse

    Jesus spoke freely about soon leaving the apostles, saying “..., I am going away, going back to my Creator Parent. In a little while you will not see me as you do here. In a very short time I am going to send you my spirit, just like me

    except for this material body. This new teacher is the Spirit of Truth who will live with each one of you, in your hearts...” “This divine endowment is not the letter or law of truth, neither is it to function as the form or expression of truth. The new teacher is the conviction of truth, the consciousness and assurance of true meanings on real spirit levels.”

  • Paper 179 – The Last Meal Together

    Jesus and the apostles gathered at the home of John Mark’s parents, celebrating the Passover a day early. This is the meal commonly known as the “Last Supper.” The story is

    told in considerable detail, including the conflict among the apostles regarding preferential seating, Jesus’ washing their feet, the departure of Judas for the purpose of betrayal, and the establishment of the remembrance ceremony with the bread and the wine.

  • Paper 178 – Last Day at the Camp

    “Jesus planned to spend this Thursday, the last free day on earth, with the apostles and a few loyal and devoted

    disciples.” “Jesus talked to about fifty trusted followers for almost two hours and answered many questions regarding the relation of the realm of the Creator to the dominions of this world, and the relationship with the Creator to
    citizenship in earthly governments.” Later that day they walked into Jerusalem in order to have one last meal together.

  • Paper 177 – Wednesday, the Rest Day

    “When the work of teaching the people did not press them, it was the custom of Jesus and the apostles to rest each

    Wednesday.” On this particular day, Jesus decided to go into the hills alone, but John Mark insisted on going along. “The Master spent this last day of quiet on earth visiting with this truth-hungry youth and talking with the Paradise
    Creator.” “This occasion exemplifies the willingness of the Creator to socialize with the creature. Even a youth, if the desire of the heart is really supreme, can command the attention and enjoy the loving companionship of the ruler of a universe...”
