Jesus walked around in Israel for three years and a half. The last week in Jerusalem is the most dramatic one. The last supper, Gethsemane, the betrayal and arrest, facing the Sanhedrin, handed over to Pilate and Herod and Pilate again, the crucifixion, buried in Joseph`s tomb, the resurrection and ascension. The final events are the most important ones. We have a close look at them. Jesus has promised to come back again. His angels will take us into his kingdom.
