“… Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the Tomb. … On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe … He said … ‘Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been Raised; He is not here. …'”
“… So they took Jesus, and, carrying the Cross Himself, He went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. …”
“… He took a towel and tied it around His Waist. Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the Disciples’ feet …”
“They paid him thirty pieces of silver, and from that time on he looked for an opportunity to hand Him over. * * * ‘… woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.’ …”
“Reclining at table with His disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.’ …”
“Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served,
while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him.
Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil
made from genuine aromatic nard
and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair …”
“… At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ …”
“Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ. Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When His Mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold,
the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.’ …”
“Remember us, O Lord, as You favor Your People. …”
“… the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself does, and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. For just as the Father Raises the dead and Gives Life, so also does the Son Give Life to whomever He wishes. …”
