Scriptures:

Matthew 21:1-11

            As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 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. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

         “Say to the Daughter of Zion,

         ‘See, your king comes to you,

         gentle and riding on a donkey,

         on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

            The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.  They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

         “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

         “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

         “Hosanna in the highest!”

           

            When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

            The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Mark 15:33-34

            At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Matthew 16:21

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

Matthew 26:39

            “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Philippians 2:8

            And being found in appearance as a man,

            he humbled himself

            and became obedient to death—

            even death on a cross!

John 19:30

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Luke 19:9-10

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”

John 15:13

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Matthew 26:28

This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 16:24,25

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
