A Musical Montage of the Passion Week

[SarahM777]

Matthew 27

[SUP]45 [/SUP]From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. [SUP]46 [/SUP]About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[SUP][c][/SUP] lema sabachthani?”(which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[SUP][d][/SUP]
[SUP]47 [/SUP]When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
[SUP]48 [/SUP]Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. [SUP]49 [/SUP]The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
[SUP]50 [/SUP]And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.


Luke 23

[SUP]44 [/SUP]It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, [SUP]45 [/SUP]for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. [SUP]46 [/SUP]Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[SUP][e][/SUP] When he had said this, he breathed his last.


John 19

[SUP]28 [/SUP]Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” [SUP]29 [/SUP]A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. [SUP]30 [/SUP]When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Matthew 27

[SUP]51 [/SUP]At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split[SUP]52 [/SUP]and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. [SUP]53 [/SUP]They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[SUP][e][/SUP] went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
[SUP]54 [/SUP]When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
[SUP]55 [/SUP]Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. [SUP]56 [/SUP]Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[SUP][f][/SUP] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

 

[SarahM777]

John 19

[SUP]31 [/SUP]Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.[SUP]32 [/SUP]The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.[SUP]33 [/SUP]But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.[SUP]34 [/SUP]Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.[SUP]35 [/SUP]The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.[SUP]36 [/SUP]These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[SUP][c]37 [/SUP]and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[SUP][d]

Luke 23

[/SUP][SUP]47 [/SUP]The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”[SUP]48 [/SUP]When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away. [SUP]49 [/SUP]But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

 

[SarahM777]

Luke 23

[SUP]50 [/SUP]Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, [SUP]51 [/SUP]who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. [SUP]52 [/SUP]Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. [SUP]53 [/SUP]Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. [SUP]54 [/SUP]It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
[SUP]55 [/SUP]The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. [SUP]56 [/SUP]Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Matthew 27

[SUP]57 [/SUP]As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. [SUP]58 [/SUP]Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.[SUP]59 [/SUP]Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, [SUP]60 [/SUP]and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. [SUP]61 [/SUP]Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb

John 19

[SUP]38 [/SUP]Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away.[SUP]39 [/SUP]He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[SUP][e][/SUP] [SUP]40 [/SUP]Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. [SUP]41 [/SUP]At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. [SUP]42 [/SUP]Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

 

[SarahM777]

Matthew 27

[SUP]62 [/SUP]The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. [SUP]63 [/SUP]“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ [SUP]64 [/SUP]So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”
[SUP]65 [/SUP]“Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” [SUP]66 [/SUP]So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.

It's amazing what one can get done when one does not watch TV much at all.

John 20

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. [SUP]2 [/SUP]So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

[SUP]3 [/SUP]So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.[SUP]4 [/SUP]Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. [SUP]5 [/SUP]He bent over and looked inat the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.[SUP]6 [/SUP]Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, [SUP]7 [/SUP]as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. [SUP]9 [/SUP](They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) [SUP]10 [/SUP]Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

[SUP]Matthew 28

11 [/SUP]While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. [SUP]12 [/SUP]When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, [SUP]13 [/SUP]telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ [SUP]14 [/SUP]If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” [SUP]15 [/SUP]So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

 

[SarahM777]

Luke 24

[SUP]13 [/SUP]Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[SUP][a][/SUP] from Jerusalem. [SUP]14 [/SUP]They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. [SUP]15 [/SUP]As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; [SUP]16 [/SUP]but they were kept from recognizing him.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
They stood still, their faces downcast. [SUP]18 [/SUP]One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
[SUP]19 [/SUP]“What things?” he asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. [SUP]20 [/SUP]The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; [SUP]21 [/SUP]but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. [SUP]22 [/SUP]In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning [SUP]23 [/SUP]but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. [SUP]24 [/SUP]Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”
[SUP]25 [/SUP]He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! [SUP]26 [/SUP]Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” [SUP]27 [/SUP]And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.[SUP]29 [/SUP]But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.[SUP]31 [/SUP]Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,and he disappeared from their sight. [SUP]32 [/SUP]They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
[SUP]33 [/SUP]They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together [SUP]34 [/SUP]and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” [SUP]35 [/SUP]Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

John 20

[SUP]19 [/SUP]On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” [SUP]20 [/SUP]After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” [SUP]22 [/SUP]And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. [SUP]23 [/SUP]If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
[h=3]Jesus Appears to Thomas[/h][SUP]24 [/SUP]Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[SUP][a][/SUP]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.[SUP]25 [/SUP]So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
[SUP]26 [/SUP]A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” [SUP]27 [/SUP]Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
