Choice 1: Overview of the Last Week of the Savior’s Mortal Ministry

Read the information in the institute student manual about “The Last Days of Jesus’ Mortal Mission” (pp. 135–37). Then fill in the following chart with key events that took place during the Savior’s final week of mortality:

Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day 5	Day 6	Day 7 (Sabbath)	Day of the Resurrection
Rode into Jerusalem on a Donkey, He was greeted with a multitude and palm branches. He went to the temple as well.	Went to the temple and kicked out the money traders and told the people the temple was only a house of worship.	Jesus teaches in parables to the public. He only teaches to the 12 after that. People plot for his death.	The record of the gospel writers is silent on the proceedings of this day.	Passover dinner (last supper). Suffered in Gethsemane for the atonement. Jesus had an illegal trial.	Jesus was charged with two crimes. Jesus was crucified.2 disciples removed His body off the cross and buried him in the tomb.	This was the Jewish Sabbath. Jesus’ body remained in the tomb, but in spirit he ministered in the realm of departed spirits.	Had the gospel ended with Jesus’ burial, there would be no gospel. The great message of these testators is that Jesus was risen and was seen again by many witnesses. Jesus Christ emerged alive from the tomb, and appeared before Mary.
