- 3) The Garden of Gethsemane
- Jesus + disciples went to Gethsemane. They watched him while he prayed.
- He asked God to take the pain of his plan if there was another way. God said Jesus must do it for love.
- 4) Betrayal and arrest
- Judas betrayed Jesus for silver and kissed him on the cheek to show he was the man they wanted
- Most disciples fled in fear but Peter took out his sword to try and stop them. Jesus told Peter he would go peacefully and God's plan would unfold. He was taken to Pontius Pilate for trial.
