John 18-21, Jesus' Arrest, Death, Burial, and Resurrection

Jesus was betrayed by Judas and was arrested. He went before the Jewish religious leaders and then to Pilate, the Roman governor. The Jews wanted Jesus crucified instead of stoned because they wanted Him to be accursed by God. In the midst of this, Peter denied Jesus three times. Jesus was crucified, and while He was on the cross, He made sure that John would take care of His mother, Mary. Jesus died on the cross quickly, so the Roman soldier pierced His side to make sure He was dead. Out spewed water and blood. John witness this. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus buried Jesus. Mary Magdalen saw the angel first and told the disciples who came. John saw and believed. Later, Mary saw Jesus face to face. Jesus came to the disciples, but Thomas was not there. He refused to believe until he could touch the nail scarred hands and the pierced side. Eight days later, Jesus showed up again, and Thomas saw and declared Jesus as his Lord and God. (The first to declare Jesus as God.) John ends with Jesus reinstating Peter into ministry after his denial, and He reminds Peter to not worry about other people and their ministry, but he was to follow Jesus.
