the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against 35“(yes, a sword will
pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” 36Now there

about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers
night and day. 38And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who
looked for redemption in Jerusalem (Lk. 36-38).

The Reaction During The Fig Tree Visit

What Jesus Discovered: 13And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might
find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was
not yet (Mk. 11:13).
What Jesus Did: 14And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.
And his disciples heard it (Mk. 11:14).

The Results From The Fig Tree Visit

The Amazement Of The Apostles: 20And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away! (Mt. 21:20).
The Application By The Savior: 21Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye
have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22And all things,

MONDAY: THE REQUEST BY SOME GREEKS TO VISIT WITH JESUS

SPECIFICS

1 Jesus And Two Apostles

20
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21The same came therefore to
Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22Philip cometh and
telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 23And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come,
that the Son of man should be glorified. 24Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that
hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I
am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour (Jn. 12:20-26).
2 Jesus And His Father
27
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour but for this cause came I unto
this hour. 28Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and
will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel
spake to him. 30Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes
(Jn. 12:27-30).
3 Jesus And The Devil
31
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out (Jn. 12:31).
4 Jesus And The Cross
32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33This he said, signifying what death he should
die (Jn. 12:32-33).
5 Jesus And The Passover Crowd
34
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever- and how sayest thou, The
Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light
with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not
whither he goeth. 36While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things
spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them (Jn. 12:34-36).
6 Jesus And The Prophet Isaiah
37
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38That the saying of
Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the
arm of the Lord been revealed? 39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40He hath
blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their
heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake
of him (Jn. 12:37-41).
7 Jesus And Some Jewish Leaders
42
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43For they loved the praise of men more than the
praise of God (Jn. 12:42-43).
8 Jesus And All Men
44
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45And he that
seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not
abide in darkness. 47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the
world, but to save the world. 48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the
word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49For I have not spoken of myself; but the
Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know
that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever .I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I
speak (Jn. 12:44-50).

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19"If you were of the world, the world
would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world
hates you. 20"Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted
Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also (Jn. 15:18-20).

"These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 2"They will put you out of the

"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes,

have spoken to you. 4"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in
the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in
Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6"If anyone does not abide in Me, he
is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are
burned. 7"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done
for you. 8"By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. 9"As the
Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love (Jn. 15:1, 3-9)

"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds
from the Father, He will testify of Me (Jn. 15:26).

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper
will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8"And when He has come, He will convict the
world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9" of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10"of
righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11"of judgment, because the ruler of
this world is judged. 12"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13"However,
when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own
authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14"He will glorify Me, for
He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15"All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I

fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy
city and appeared to many (Mt. 27:52-53).
THE HUMAN REACTION
The Confession Of The Centurion: 54So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding
Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this
was the Son of God!" (Mt. 27:54)
The Contriteness Of The Crowd: 49"And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned " (Lk. 23:48).

FROM 3:00 – 6:00 PM

PREPARING OF JESUS' BODY

The Role Of The Men: 38After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear
of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission.
So he came and took the body of Jesus. 39And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also
came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40Then they took the body of
Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41Now in the
place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had
yet been laid. 42So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was
nearby (Jn. 19:38-42).
The Role Of The Women: 55And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and
they observed the tomb and how His body was laid. 56Then they returned and prepared spices and
fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment (Lk. 23:55-56).
PLACING OF JESUS' BODY

The Garden: 41Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new
tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation
Day, for the tomb was nearby (Jn. 19:41-42).
The Grave Stone: 59When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60and laid it
in his new, tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the
tomb, and departed (Mt. 27:59-60).

come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, `He has risen from the dead.' So the last
deception will be worse than the first." 65Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as
secure as you know how." 66So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the
guard (Mt. 27:62-66).

And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but
wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John. truly baptized with water;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When they therefore were come together,
they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto
them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the father hath put in his own power. But ye
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth " (Act. 1:4-8).

His Ascension Into Heaven

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of
God (Mk.. 16:19). 'And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And
it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven" (Lk. 24:50-51).
"And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of
their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in
white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven"
(Act. 1:9-11).
