JESUS IN JERUSALEM
In what was to be the last week of his life, Jesus made
a triumphal entrance into Jerusalem shortly before the
Jewish feast of Passover. He proceeded to the Temple
where he drove out the money changers (Matthew 21:
12-13). He gathered his Disciples to eat a Passover meal;
this was to be the Last Supper. After the meal they went
to the Garden of Gethsemane
(see p114)
where Jesus
was arrested (Matthew 26: 36-56). Condemned by the
Jewish authorities, he was put on trial before Pontius
Pilate, possibly in the Antonia Fortress or the Citadel
(see p65)
. After being paraded through the city
(see
pp30-31)
, he was crucified and buried at Golgotha,
traditionally identified with the site of the Holy Sepulchre
church. Following his Resurrection, Jesus departed earth
with his Ascension from the Mount of Olives
(see p112)

The Last Supper (Matthew 26: 18-30),
