Gen 3:14-15
So the Lord God said to the serpent: "Because you have
done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of
the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of
your life. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your
seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His
heel."
Isaiah 53:1-5
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the
Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a
root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There
is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A
Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces
from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely He has borne our grief and carried our sorrows; yet
we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for
our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our
peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
Psalm 22:7-8
All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip,
they shake the head, saying, "He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let
Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"
Psalm 22:14-18
I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of
joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me. My strength is dried up
like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the
dust of death. For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has
enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones. They
look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing
they cast lots.
Isaiah 42:1-4
"Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom
My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to
the Gentiles. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to
be heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He
will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. He will not fail nor be
discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands
shall wait for His law."
Matthew 16:21-23
From that time Jesus
began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many
things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be
raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him,
saying, "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!" But
He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to
Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."
Matthew 17:22-23
Now while they were
staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed
into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be
raised up." And they were exceedingly sorrowful.
John 12:12-16
The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast,
when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees
and went out to meet Him, and cried out: "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes
in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!" Then Jesus, when He had
found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: "Fear not, daughter of
Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt." His
disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was
glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and
that they had done these things to Him.
John 11:45-54
Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the
things Jesus did, believed in Him. But some of them went away to the Pharisees
and told them the things Jesus did. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees
gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans
will come and take away both our place and nation."
And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said
to them, "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is
expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole
nation should perish." Now this he
did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied
that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for that nation only, but also
that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered
abroad.
Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death.
Mark 14:12-21
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed
the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go
and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"
And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them,
"Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water;
follow him. Wherever he goes in, say to
the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in
which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' Then he will show you a large upper room,
furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." So His disciples went
out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they
prepared the Passover.
In the evening He came with the twelve. Now as they sat and
ate, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me
will betray Me."
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by
one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"
He answered and said to them, "It is one of the twelve,
who dips with Me in the dish. The Son of
Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the
Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never
been born."
Luke 22:47-53
And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he
who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to
Jesus to kiss Him. But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the
Son of Man with a kiss?"
When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they
said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" And one of them
struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this."
And He touched his ear and healed him.
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the
temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against
a robber, with swords and clubs? When I
was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your
hour, and the power of darkness."
Mark 15:1-5
Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound
Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. Then Pilate asked Him, "Are
You the King of the Jews?"
He answered and said to him, "It is as you say."
And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He
answered nothing. Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer
nothing? See how many things they testify against You!" But Jesus still answered nothing, so that
Pilate marveled.
Matthew 27:15-26
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to
the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a
notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Therefore,
when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me
to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" For he knew
that they had handed Him over because of envy.
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to
him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered
many things today in a dream because of Him."
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes
that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and
said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"
They said, "Barabbas!"
Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus
who is called Christ?"
They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"
Then the governor said, "Why, what evil has He
done?"
But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be
crucified!"
And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on
us and on our children."
Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged
Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
John 19:17-24
And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the
Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified
Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. Now
Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where
Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and
Latin.
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,
"Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, "I am the King
of the Jews."'"
Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have
written."
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His
garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now
the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. They said
therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it,
whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
"They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots."
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
Matthew 27:45-56
Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was
darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a
loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My
God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said,
"This Man is calling for Elijah!" Immediately one of them ran and
took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to
Him to drink.
The rest said, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah
will come to save Him."
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up
His spirit.
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from
top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves
were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and
coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city
and appeared to many.
So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding
Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared
greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering
to Him, were there looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary
the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
Mark 15:42-47
Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation
Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent
council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and
taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate
marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if
He had been dead for some time. So when he found out from the centurion, he
granted the body to Joseph. Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and
wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of
the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. And Mary Magdalene
and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
Matthew 28:1-8
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to
dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there
was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance
was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for
fear of him, and became like dead men.
But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not
be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here;
for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go
quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is
going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told
you."
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great
joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
John 20:3-10
Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were
going to the tomb. So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran
Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the
linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came,
following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying
there, and the handkerchief that had
been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a
place by itself. Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in
also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that
He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their
own homes.
John 20:11-18
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept
she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white
sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had
lain. Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"
She said to them, "Because they have taken away my
Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus
standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her,
"Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?"
She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him,
"Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I
will take Him away."
Jesus said to her, "Mary!"
She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!" (which is
to say, Teacher).
Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not
yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am
ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'"
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I
preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also
you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you
believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also
received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that
He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the
Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He
was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain
to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James,
then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one
born out of due time.
1 Corinthians 15:12-28
Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the
dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But
if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if
Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes,
and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that
He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up — if in fact the dead do not
rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is
not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those
who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have
hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the
firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by
Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the
firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the
end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all
rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies
under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For "He
has put all things under His feet." But when He says "all things are
put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is
excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself
will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all
in all.
Happy Resurrection Day!
