A Chronological Outline
Of The Crucifixion

By Allen Webster

There were ten major events the night that Jesus died. It is very enlightening to piece the four accounts together for no one record includes all the events. Please take the time in your personal devotions to look up these Scriptures and mediate on what Jeus did for you and me.

1. Last Supper (Matthew 26:17-29).

Disciples had an argument (Luke 22:24).

2. Mt. of Olives (Matthew 26:30-35).

Predicted denial.

3. Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:31-46; Luke 22:39-46).

Prayed on face (26:39)
