Quotes About Jesus

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.

Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”

When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.

“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”

They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”

Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”

When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.

Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.

The cloth that had been around Jesusí head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.
