Sabbath ended at 6pm – 12 hours ago. The women are able to gather what they need to complete the burial rites. Jesus’ disciples are still in hiding, so the women will do it alone.

Jesus has now been in the tomb 3 days (part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday).

When the women arrive at the tomb, the Roman guard is gone and the tomb is open. The women enter the tomb, but the body of Jesus is gone!

Instead, they encounter an angel who tells them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead? Jesus is not here, he has risen just as he said."

The women hurry back to tell the disciples – "afraid, yet filled with joy”.

He is Risen – proof that his sacrifice was found acceptable to the Father.

3pm (the 9th hour)

At 3pm, several things occur at once:

Jesus: "It is finished." He breathes his last and gives up his spirit.

The earth shakes and rocks split. The Centurion praises God and exclaims, "Surely this was the Son of God!”

Tombs open and the dead bodies of holy people are raised to life and appear to citizens of Jerusalem.

The temple curtain is torn from top to bottom.

The Creator God – in human form – dies naked on a cross.

Matthew 27:45-54

"It was the third hour when they crucified him.”

By Jewish time-keeping, the third hour is 9am. Jesus is now on the cross – hanging between two thieves.

He who had no sin became sin to bear the iniquities of many.

Mark 15:21-32

Pilate tries to avoid giving in to the mob whipped up by Jewish leaders. Just five days earlier the people were crying "Hosanna" to this same man! Pilate orders Jesus flogged – which often results in death. By now, the Roman soldiers have mocked him with a crown of thorns – paying Jesus scornful homage.

Last chance for a pardon ... but the crowd chooses Barabbas for release instead of Jesus. Ironically, ‘Barabbas’ means ‘Son of the Father’.

Jesus will be crucified – and he will carry his own cross beam to the place of ex*****on outside the city: Golgotha.

Jesus has now been rejected by Jew and Gentile.

Read John 18:28-19:3

Judas Iscariot comes to the garden with a contingent of temple guards to arrest Jesus – the identifying sign is a kiss.

“Who are you looking for?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.

Jesus said, “I am He”.

When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground ... (John 18:6).

After reattaching the ear of a guard lopped off by Peter, Jesus leaves under arrest.

Soon, He will endure three ‘trials’ by Jewish leaders and priests – all in violation of Jewish law mandating that trials be held in daylight. He will be accused and convicted of blasphemy – a crime punishable by death.

Read John 18:1-14

Jesus is experiencing serious anxiety while praying in the garden – even sweating blood. His disciples, after their Passover meal, are sleeping.

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me ... yet, not my will but your will be done."

It was to be his Father's will. Jesus embraced it with perfect obedience – for our redemption and his Father's glory.

Though finished on the cross, victory was won in the garden.

Matthew 26:36-46

Exodus 12 instructs that the Passover lamb is to be "slaughtered at twilight" (6pm). The lamb forms the centerpiece of the Passover meal. Jesus took this meal with His disciples just after 6pm; we call it ‘The Lord's Supper’. ‘Good Friday’ begins.

Just prior to the meal, Jesus washes the disciples' feet as a model of servanthood.

"One of you will betray me" ... then Judas leaves the group, having already agreed to betray Christ.

During the meal, Jesus redefines the Passover feast, explaining that He is ushering in the New Covenant described by God through the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

“Take this bread and cup ... my body and blood ... do this in memory of Me.”

Read Matthew 26:17-30

Jesus returns to the temple to teach and preach. Along the way, the disciples noticed the fig tree withered from the roots.
At the temple, the chief priests, teachers of the law and the elders continue their attempts to trap Jesus. Their desire was to kill Jesus, yet "they could not find a way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.”

Having spent the night in nearby Bethany, Jesus and his disciples head for the temple. On the way, Jesus finds a fig tree in leaf, but no fruit present. He curses the tree – symbolic of a people that are clearly enjoying nourishment but yielding no fruit.
Upon entering the temple area, Jesus began driving out the vendors and others that were making a marketplace of God’s house. This was yet another reason the chief priests and teachers of the law looked for a way to kill him; but they feared Jesus “because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.”
