In the evening of the day Jesus had appeared to Mary Magdalene, the two who had returned from Emmaus were telling how they had seen Jesus; and at that moment he appeared in the midst of the group, saying:            “Peace be unto you.”            The disciples were terrified and frightened, thinking they saw a spirit. But Jesus showed them his hands and the wound in his side, and said to them:            “Why are ye troubled and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that is I myself. Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”            And they were glad, knowing he was the Lord.            Jesus said to them:            “Peace be unto you. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”            Then Jesus addressed the disciples, saying to them:            “Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.”

Jesus made a reconnaissance mission to earth. Jesus came to determine, as a man, what do the humans know. We hear this in his difficulty in communicating heavenly concepts and in his questions; i.e. "How is it that you do not understand?" The goal was to reveal the nature and name of Yehovah to the world; to reveal to mankind the path to salvation. "Keep my commandments." Jesus said.

His countenance was like lightning and his clothes were white as snow. The angel spoke to the women, saying:            “Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee. There shall ye see him. Lo, I have told you.”            The women ran from the sepulcher quickly with great awe and joy to tell the disciples what had happened.            On their way, Jesus met them and said:            “All hail.”            The women fell at his feet and worshiped him. He continued:            “Be not afraid. Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.”***118: Jesus Appears To His Disciples As They Walk To EmmausMark 16:12,13; Luke 24:13-35 Two of the disciples were on their way to the village of Emmaus, nearly eight miles from Jerusalem. They were sad as they discussed the recent events. As they walked along, Jesus came to them and went with them; but they did not recognize him. Jesus said to them:            “What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?”            One of the disciples, names Cleopas, replied:            “Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?”            Jesus asked:            “What things?”            The disciples replied to him:            “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people. And now the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel. And beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher. And when they found not his body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said, but him they saw not.”            Jesus said to the disciples:            “O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?”            Then, beginning with Moses and the prophets, Jesus explained to the disciples all the things in the Scriptures about himself. When they came to Emmaus, Jesus acted as though he would continue on; but the disciples said to him:            “Abode with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.”            Jesus remained with them. At the evening meal he took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them. At that moment they knew him, but he vanished from their sight.            The disciples said to one another:            “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scriptures?”            They returned to Jerusalem and told the others:            “The Lord has risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon.”

Let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”            Then Jesus cried out in a loud voice:            “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.”            Having said this, he died and the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; the earth quaked; and rocks broke one upon the other. Graves opened and the bodies of many sleeping saints arose.            The officer of the soldiers, and others that were with him, when they saw these things occurring at the death of Jesus, said:            “Truly this was the Son of God.”

What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. John 11***115: The Crucifixion [Execution] Of JesusMatthew 27:33-35, 39-44; Mark 15:23-32; Luke 23:33-43; John 19:17-27When they had arrived at Calvary Jesus was given vinegar mingled with gall, which he tasted slightly but would not drink.            Then Jesus and the two common criminals were all nailed to crosses: one on the left, one on the right, with Jesus in the center.            Jesus said:            “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”            Then Pilate made a sign that was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. It was put on top of Jesus’ cross. It read:JESUS OF NAZARETHTHE KING OF THE JEWS            The chief priests objected to the sign, saying to Pilate:            “Write not ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”            Pilate answered:            “What I have written I have written.”            The four soldiers who had crucified Jesus took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each. His coat, however, was in one piece, without seam. The soldiers did not tear it but said to one another:            “Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.”            Thus was the Scripture fulfilled which said:            “They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots.”            The spectators, the chief priests, elders, scribes, the soldiers who had crucified him, and even one of the common criminals on his cross reviled and mocked Jesus.            The scribes and elders said:            “He saved others. Himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God. Let him deliver him now, if he will have him; for he said, “I am the Son of God.’”            Others said:            “Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.”            The soldiers offered him vinegar to drink, saying:            “If thou be the King of the Jews, save thyself.”            Some said:            “He saved others. Let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.”            While those around the cross were reviling Jesus, one of the criminals joined in, saying:            “If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.”            The other rebuked him, saying:            “Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.”            Then he turned to Jesus and said:            “Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.”            And Jesus answered him, saying:            “Verily I say unto thee, ‘Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.’”            Standing in the shadow of the cross was Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his mother’s sister, also called Mary, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw the disciple whom he loved standing by. From the cross Jesus said to his mother regarding this disciple.            “Woman, behold thy son!”            Then he said to the disciple:            “Behold thy mother!”            From that hour the disciple became a son to Jesus’ mother and welcomed her into his home.

...your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2***113: Barabbas Released And Jesus MockedMatthew 27:15-30; Mark 15:6-19; Luke 23:13-25; John 18:39-19:16Barabbas Released And Jesus MockedWhen Pilate could find nothing in Jesus worthy of death, he said to Jesus’ accusers:            “Ye have a custom that I should release unto you one at the Passover. Will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?”            The people cried out:            “Not this man, but Barabbas.”            Barabbas was a robber.            So Barrabas–the insurrectionist, robber, and murderer–was released; and Jesus was turned over to be crucified.            He was scourged by Pilate, and the soldiers who guarded him covered him with a purple robe and placed a crown of thorns on his head. Then, as they struck him with their hands, they said:            “Hail, King of the Jews!”            Then Pilate said to the people:            “Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.”            As Jesus came out, garbed in purple and wearing the crown of thorns, Pilate said:             “Behold the man!”            The chief priests and officers cried out:            “Crucify him, crucify him.”            Pilate said to them:            “Take ye him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.”            Jesus’ accusers replied:             “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”            When he heard this, Pilate was afraid. He asked Jesus:            “Whence art thou?”            Jesus did not answer.            Pilate tried again, saying:            “Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?”            Jesus answered him, saying:            “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.”            Again Pilate sought to release Jesus, but the people shouted:            “If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend. Whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.”            Then Pilate took Jesus before the judgment seat in the place called the Pavement, known in Hebrew as Gabbatha. It was about the sixth hour. Pilate said to the Jews:            “Behold your King!”            The Jews shouted:            “Away with him, away with him, crucify him.”            Pilate answered:            “Shall I crucify your King?”            The chief priests replied:            “We have no king but Caesar.”            The Pilate delivered Jesus to the chief priests to be crucified. They took him and led him away.***114: Jesus’ Trip To CalvaryMatthew 27:31, 32; Mark 15:20-22; Luke 23:26-32; John 19:17After Jesus had been mocked, and the purple robe had been taken from him, they dressed him again in his own clothes and led him away to be crucified.            The guards forced Simon–A Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus–to carry the cross.            Two common criminals, also sentenced to death, were in the procession. There were a large number of people following, many of them women who bewailed and lamented for Jesus. Hearing their crying, Jesus turned to them and said:            “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.’ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us;’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?”***115: The Crucifixion Of JesusMatthew 27:33-35, 39-44; Mark 15:23-32; Luke 23:33-43; John 19:17-27When they had arrived at Calvary Jesus was given vinegar mingled with gall, which he tasted slightly but would not drink.            Then Jesus and the two common criminals were all nailed to crosses: one on the left, one on the right, with Jesus in the center.            Jesus said:            “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”            Then Pilate made a sign that was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
