The Last Days of Jesus’ Mortal Mission - Key events that took place during the Savior’s final week of mortality.

Day 1	Jesus arrived at Jerusalem Secured a donkey and a colt, rode through the gate A great multitude placed palm branches in his way & greeted him with hosanna shout Went directly to temple, took note of what he saw Retired to Bethany for the night
Day 2	Went to the temple again in the morning Challenged the Jewish leadership Drove those who were trading and making money exchange from the outer court area Let them know temple is his house, a house of prayer Returned to Bethany in the evening
Day 3	Was challenged by the priests at the temple Related a series of parables (offending leaders of the Jews) Scribes & Pharisees challenge Him again Openly denounced them/condemned them as hypocrites From this point on He only taught the Twelve Jewish leaders consulted on how they might bring about his death Wanted it done before Passover to avoid a riot One of Jesus’ own disciples offered to betray him
Day 4	Spent outside the city (possibly @ Bethany)
Day 5	Jesus had Passover meal in a private home with Twelve Introduced new ordinance, sacrament Prophesied of his death Indicted who would betray him Offered intercessory prayer With the eleven (all but Judas) went to Gethsemane Took Peter, James, and John further into Garden Went off by himself to pray Asked for the cup to pass from him Suffered “the pain of all men” Bled from every pore Rejoined apostles Indicated betrayer at hand While speaking, armed band (led by Judas) seized him Was brought to an illegal trial that night
Day 6	Jewish leaders wanted to discredit Jesus before his people, arranged to have him charged with two crimes (blasphemy and sedition against the state) 1.Blasphemy, a capital offense, for saying he was the Son of God-unanimously convicted, but couldn’t carry out death penalty; only Roman governor could pronounce this. 2.Sedition against the state, political indictment, because he claimed to be king of Jews Pilate found Jesus guiltless of this charge, but the Jewish leaders incited the crowd to “destroy Jesus” Pilate gave in, Jesus was executed by crucifixion In the afternoon, he voluntarily gave up his spirit Before nightfall, his body was removed from the cross and buried in a sealed tomb by two disciples
Day 7 (Sabbath)	Jewish Sabbath His body remained in tomb His spirit ministered in the realm of departed spirits
