The Easter Story

“What should I do with him”?
“Crucify him crucify him”.
“What has he done”?
“Crucify him crucify him”.
What has he done I say in my head over and over again. I am Pontius Pilate I am a governor and I have to declare Jesus death or to free him.
‘Crucify him crucify him”.
I looked at the Jewish leaders and high priests they looked very happy. I knew if I let Jesus go they would get very angry at me. I had no choice I washed my hands so I would not be guilty of his death and I gave the order to be whipped and crucified. He had to carry a cross on to the streets of Jerusalem. They got a man Simon to help him carry the cross and he went to Calvary. He was nailed to the cross and I heard people say mean things to him. It got dark at noon for three hours and Jesus cried something and lowered his head and died. The ground shook violently and the temple curtains tore. A temple officer said that this man is really the son of God. I sat down on my throne a tear trickled down my face, and I whispered “what have I done”.
A man named Joseph came to me. He was a follower of Jesus. He asked me if he could have the body of Jesus. I gave the order. He found a tomb and put Jesus in it. The high priests wanted the tomb to be secure bye guards. I gave the order.
A day later I heard something a miracle. I’m not sure if it’s true but I heard…
That Jesus has risen

John's point of view

All we disciples walked into Bethany. Jesus stopped and told us to go and get a donkey and bring it back to him. He told us what to tell the man that owned it. So we went and brought the donkey back to Jesus and we took our coats off and made a soft saddle for him. Then we followed him as he rode into Jerusalem. There people saw him and became excited and ran outside. They put palm branches onto the ground and some even put their clothes down on the ground.
The next morning, Jesus went to the temple to pray, but when he got there, there was a market going on and they were selling animals and changing money. Jesus got angry and shouted at the people and told them it was a place for praying and serving God not a place for robbers.
It was coming up to the Passover meal and Jesus told us what we had to do. We went up to the room upstairs and had our meal. Jesus went around and started washing the disciple’s feet. After that Jesus broke the bread and thanked God and gave it to the disciples then he did the same with the wine. He told us that one of us was going to betray him. All the disciples looked at each other. We all asked Jesus who was going to betray him. He said the one I give bread to. He took the bread dipped in wine and gave it to Judas Iscariot. He then said “go do what you must.” And Judas left the table and went downstairs. Then Jesus told Peter he was going to deny him three times before the rooster crows the next morning.
That night we went to the garden of Gethsemane. There he was arrested by the soldiers with Judas. Peter jumped at a soldier and cut off his ear. Jesus touched his ear and healed it. He said to P7eter put your sword away! All the disciples were scared and ran away.
He was taken to Pilate because they wanted him to be crucified. Pilate did not want Jesus to be crucified and he asked the crowd some questions but they just shouted louder, “Crucify him!’’ he washed hands in front of the crowd and said, “I am not guilty of this man’s blood.” So he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.
Jesus had to carry his cross to Golgotha. I was there with Mary when they nailed him to the cross. I watched it all. While Jesus was on the cross he said to me, “John look after my mother as if you were her son so I did that. There was a strange darkness for 6 hours. Then Jesus said “My God, my God why have you forsaken me!” and he bowed his head and died.

The Last Supper

“Peter and John, go and get a bucket of water and we will have a feast on the 2nd floor” called Jesus. We jogged to the man with the water bucket and organised to have a feast in his house. The next day the disciples and me had the feast at the place we had organised it. When we got there he washed our feet then I asked “Why are you washing our feet Jesus don’t wash my feet” he answered “If you don’t let me wash your feet you will no longer be my disciple Peter”. “Well, if you want to wash my feet wash my head and arms too” “You don’t get it Peter I’m washing your feet to show this is how you should do it to others”. After Jesus had washed our feet he said “one of you is going to betray me and it is the person I give this bread to” and Jesus gave the bread to Judas. Jesus said “Go on Judas, do what you need to do”, Judas left. Then the other disciples carried on with the feast. Jesus picked up some wine and said “This is my blood given up for you” and poured it into our cups. After we ate we went into a garden nearby and it was night. It was early in the morning and Jesus got arrested. He was taken to a palace. I followed I watched from outside and I saw the high priest talking to him but they weren’t allowed to decide whether or not he was going to die so they take him to Pontius Pilate the governor. When they arrived to Pontius Pilate he found no reason to sentence Jesus to death and the crowd kept shouting “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate didn’t want to sentence him to death but he didn’t want to die so he sentenced Jesus. Then he had to carry a cross to a hill called skull hill and be hung up to death. After a while they got to the hill and hung him on the cross put a sign above him that read king of the Jews. It was dark 3.00am Jesus died and if he was still alive one of the soldiers threw a spear in the side.

The resurrection

In the story of Jesus death this is what really happened.
Jesus was carrying his cross up the hill to die. A man named Simon was forced to help Jesus carry his cross up the rocky mountain. He fell on his bare knees 3 times we he reached it he was exhausted, he had no breath left. He was very weak. He set up his cross , was whipped 40 times then was nailed to the cross and shouted “it is finished”. Then the earth shook and the curtain in the temple split in 2.Then a man named Joseph took Jesus down 3 hours later after his death on the cross. He wapped him in loincloth and placed him in a tomb for his burial some guards wore placed to protect the tomb.
So that is how the story of Jesus’ death took place long ago
