A Musical Montage of the Passion Week

[SarahM777]

This is a look at the passion week through words and music.

Matthew 21

[h=3]Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King[/h]21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, [SUP]2 [/SUP]saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me.[SUP]3 [/SUP]If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
[SUP]4 [/SUP]This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
[SUP]5 [/SUP]“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”[SUP][a][/SUP]

[SUP]6 [/SUP]The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. [SUP]7 [/SUP]They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. [SUP]8 [/SUP]A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. [SUP]9 [/SUP]The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna[SUP][b][/SUP] to the Son of David!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[SUP][c][/SUP]

“Hosanna[SUP][d][/SUP] in the highest heaven!”

[SUP]10 [/SUP]When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
[SUP]11 [/SUP]The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.

Matthew 21

[SUP]14 [/SUP]The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. [SUP]15 [/SUP]But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
“‘From the lips of children and infants
you, Lord, have called forth your praise’[SUP][g][/SUP]?”

[SUP]17 [/SUP]And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.

[SarahM777]

Matthew 21

[SUP]12 [/SUP]Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. [SUP]13 [/SUP]“It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[SUP][e][/SUP]but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[SUP][f][/SUP]”

Luke 19

[SUP]45 [/SUP]When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. [SUP]46 [/SUP]“It is written,”he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’[SUP][c][/SUP]; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[SUP][d][/SUP]”
[SUP]47 [/SUP]Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. [SUP]48 [/SUP]Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

Matthew 26

26 When Jesus had finished saying all these things,he said to his disciples, [SUP]2 [/SUP]“As you know, the Passoveris two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, [SUP]4 [/SUP]and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. [SUP]5 [/SUP]“But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
[h=3]Jesus Anointed at Bethany[/h][SUP]6 [/SUP]While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, [SUP]7 [/SUP]a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. [SUP]9 [/SUP]“This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. [SUP]11 [/SUP]The poor you will always have with you,[SUP][a][/SUP]but you will not always have me. [SUP]12 [/SUP]When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
[h=3]Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus[/h][SUP]14 [/SUP]Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests [SUP]15 [/SUP]and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. [SUP]16 [/SUP]From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

He is risen indeed!

John 13

13 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. [SUP]3 [/SUP]Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; [SUP]4 [/SUP]so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. [SUP]5 [/SUP]After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
[SUP]8 [/SUP]“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
[SUP]9 [/SUP]“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”[SUP]11 [/SUP]For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. [SUP]13 [/SUP]“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. [SUP]14 [/SUP]Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. [SUP]15 [/SUP]I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.[SUP]16 [/SUP]Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. [SUP]17 [/SUP]Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Luke 22

[SUP]14 [/SUP]When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. [SUP]15 [/SUP]And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. [SUP]16 [/SUP]For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
[SUP]17 [/SUP]After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said,“Take this and divide it among you. [SUP]18 [/SUP]For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
[SUP]19 [/SUP]And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
[SUP]20 [/SUP]In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]21 [/SUP]But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.[SUP]22 [/SUP]The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” [SUP]23 [/SUP]They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

[SarahM777]

Matthew 26

[SUP]36 [/SUP]Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” [SUP]37 [/SUP]He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. [SUP]38 [/SUP]Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
[SUP]39 [/SUP]Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
[SUP]40 [/SUP]Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. [SUP]41 [/SUP]“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
[SUP]42 [/SUP]He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
[SUP]43 [/SUP]When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. [SUP]44 [/SUP]So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
[SUP]45 [/SUP]Then he returned to the disciples and said to them,“Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. [SUP]46 [/SUP]Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

[SarahM777]

Matthew 26

[SUP]47 [/SUP]While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. [SUP]48 [/SUP]Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” [SUP]49 [/SUP]Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
[SUP]50 [/SUP]Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[SUP][d][/SUP]
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. [SUP]51 [/SUP]With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
[SUP]52 [/SUP]“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [SUP]53 [/SUP]Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? [SUP]54 [/SUP]But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”
[SUP]55 [/SUP]In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. [SUP]56 [/SUP]But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

I do hope that will be able to get the rest.

Amen

Matthew 26

[SUP]57 [/SUP]Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. [SUP]58 [/SUP]But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
[SUP]59 [/SUP]The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. [SUP]60 [/SUP]But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.
Finally two came forward [SUP]61 [/SUP]and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
[SUP]62 [/SUP]Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” [SUP]63 [/SUP]But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
[SUP]64 [/SUP]“You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[SUP][e][/SUP]
[SUP]65 [/SUP]Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. [SUP]66 [/SUP]What do you think?”
“He is worthy of death,” they answered.
[SUP]67 [/SUP]Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.Others slapped him [SUP]68 [/SUP]and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”

 

[SarahM777]

Matthew 26

[SUP]69 [/SUP]Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
[SUP]70 [/SUP]But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
[SUP]71 [/SUP]Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
[SUP]72 [/SUP]He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”
[SUP]73 [/SUP]After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”
[SUP]74 [/SUP]Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. [SUP]75 [/SUP]Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

 

[SarahM777]

Luke 22

[SUP]63 [/SUP]The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. [SUP]64 [/SUP]They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” [SUP]65 [/SUP]And they said many other insulting things to him.

Luke 23

23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.[SUP]2 [/SUP]And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
[SUP]6 [/SUP]On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.[SUP]7 [/SUP]When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. [SUP]9 [/SUP]He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. [SUP]10 [/SUP]The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. [SUP]12 [/SUP]That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, [SUP]14 [/SUP]and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.” [SUP][17] [/SUP][SUP][a][/SUP]
[SUP]18 [/SUP]But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” [SUP]19 [/SUP](Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.[SUP]21 [/SUP]But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
[SUP]22 [/SUP]For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”
[SUP]23 [/SUP]But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. [SUP]24 [/SUP]So Pilate decided to grant their demand. [SUP]25 [/SUP]He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

John 19

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. [SUP]2 [/SUP]The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe [SUP]3 [/SUP]and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”And they slapped him in the face.

[SarahM777]

Luke 23

[SUP]26 [/SUP]As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. [SUP]27 [/SUP]A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. [SUP]28 [/SUP]Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. [SUP]29 [/SUP]For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ [SUP]30 [/SUP]Then
“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
and to the hills, “Cover us!”’[SUP][b][/SUP]

[SUP]31 [/SUP]For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

John 1

[SUP]35 [/SUP]The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. [SUP]36 [/SUP]When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

[SarahM777]

Matthew 27

[SUP]38 [/SUP]Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. [SUP]39 [/SUP]Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads [SUP]40 [/SUP]and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!” [SUP]41 [/SUP]In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. [SUP]42 [/SUP]“He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. [SUP]43 [/SUP]He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” [SUP]44 [/SUP]In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Luke 23

[SUP]39 [/SUP]One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
[SUP]40 [/SUP]But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?[SUP]41 [/SUP]We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
[SUP]42 [/SUP]Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[SUP][d][/SUP]”
[SUP]43 [/SUP]Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

[SarahM777]

John 19

[SUP]23 [/SUP]When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]“Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
“They divided my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.”[SUP][a][/SUP]

So this is what the soldiers did.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.[SUP]26 [/SUP]When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her,“Woman,[SUP][b][/SUP] here is your son,” [SUP]27 [/SUP]and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
