For this is my blood, which ratifies the New Covenant, my blood shed on behalf of many, so that they may have their sins forgiven.

and he said to them, "My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake with me."

He returned to the talmidim and found them sleeping. He said to Kefa, "Were you so weak that you couldn't stay awake with me for even an hour?

Again he returned and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy.

Then Yeshua addressed the crowd: "So you came out to take me with swords and clubs, the way you would the leader of a rebellion? Every day I sat in the Temple court, teaching; and you didn't seize me then.

But all this has happened so that what the prophets wrote may be fulfilled." Then the talmidim all deserted him and ran away.

The head cohanim and the whole Sanhedrin looked for some false evidence against Yeshua, so that they might put him to death.

So they decided to use it to buy the potter's field as a cemetery for foreigners.

So when a crowd had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to set free for you? Bar-Abba? or Yeshua, called ‘the Messiah'?"

and saying, "So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the stake!"

"He saved others, but he can't save himself!" "So he's King of Isra'el, is he? Let him come down now from the stake! Then we'll believe him!"

" He trusted God? So, let him rescue him if he wants him! After all, he did say, ‘I'm the Son of God'!"

So they went and made the grave secure by sealing the stone and putting the guard on watch.

The guards were so terrified at him that they trembled and became like dead men.

So they left the tomb quickly, frightened yet filled with joy; and they ran to give the news to his talmidim.

So the eleven talmidim went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua had told them to go.

So it was that Yochanan the Immerser appeared in the desert, proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven.

They were all so astounded that they began asking each other, "What is this? A new teaching, one with authority behind it! He gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"

So he traveled all through the Galil, preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.

But he went out and began spreading the news, talking freely about it; so that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but stayed out in the country, where people continued coming to him from all around.
