Although His earthly life concluded with His ascension from the Mount of Olives, His disciples, having received His teachings, spread the message of [[Jesus Christ]] throughout the world.

*'''Prophecy of the Last Days and Second Coming'''

:The disciples inquired of Jesus regarding the signs that would precede the end of the age and His second coming. Jesus indicated that wars, famines, and earthquakes would mark the onset of birth pains, and that numerous [[False Christ|false Christs]] and prophets would emerge, deceiving many, while lawlessness would abound and love would grow cold.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A3-8&version=NIV |title=Matthew 24:3–8 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> He instructed them to observe the Parable of the Fig Tree as a sign of His return,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A32-33&version=NIV |title=Matthew 24:32–33 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> noting that the fig tree symbolizes Israel in Scripture. The revival of the fig tree, representing Israel’s restoration, is linked to the [[Timing of Jesus’ Second Coming|timing of Jesus’ second coming]].

*'''Repeated Trial and Suffering'''<br>At the dawn of the [[The Feast of Unleavened Bread|Feast of Unleavened Bread]], the day after the Passover, the chief priests and elders conspired to have Jesus executed and brought Him before the governor, Pontius Pilate.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+27%3A1-2&version=NIV |title=Matthew 27:1–2 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Observing these events, Judas Iscariot felt remorse for his betrayal and attempted to return the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests. However, as they rejected his plea, he threw the silver into the temple and went out to hang himself, ultimately ending his life. The chief priests and elders presented Jesus to Pontius Pilate, accusing Him of misleading the people by forbidding them to pay taxes to Caesar and claiming to be a king. Finding no evidence of wrongdoing, Pilate referred Jesus to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee, who was in Jerusalem at that time. After interrogating Jesus and receiving no answers, Herod mocked Him before sending Him back to Pilate. Unable to find any grounds for a death sentence against Jesus, Pontius Pilate recalled the custom of releasing one prisoner during the Passover. He presented the crowd with the choice of freeing Barabbas, a notorious criminal, or Jesus. The chief priests and elders incited the crowd to demand Barabbas’ release and call for Jesus’ execution. Fearing a riot, Pilate symbolically washed his hands, declaring, “I am innocent of this man's blood, it is your responsibility!” The crowd responded, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+27%3A24-25&version=NIV |title=Matthew 27:24–25 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Ultimately, Pilate ordered Jesus to be crucified. Subsequently, the soldiers flogged Jesus, placed a crown of thorns on His head, spat on Him, struck Him with a staff, and mocked Him with various insults. They then compelled Jesus to carry His cross and led Him to Golgotha.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+27%3A11-31&version=NIV |title=Matthew 27:11–31 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

*'''Death on the Cross'''<br>At approximately 9 a.m., Roman soldiers crucified Jesus by nailing His hands and feet to the cross. A sign inscribed with the words “King of the Jews” was affixed above His head. During this event, onlookers mocked Jesus, challenging Him with remarks such as, “If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross,” while religious leaders derided Him, stating, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself.” The spectators viewed Jesus’ suffering and bloodshed, resulting from the scourging and crucifixion, as a punishment appropriate for a sinner. However, the [[The Old Testament|Old Testament]] attributes this suffering to the sins and transgressions of humanity.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+53%3A3-8&version=NIV |title=Isaiah 53:3–8 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> In this context, Jesus accepted the punishment for the sins of humanity, thereby fulfilling the prophecy of the Scriptures. After enduring six hours of agony on the [[cross]], Jesus died at approximately 3 p.m., proclaiming His final words, “It is finished.” At that moment, the curtain of the [[Sanctuary (Tabernacle)|temple]] was torn in two from top to bottom.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+27%3A45-53&version=NIV |title=Matthew 27:45–53 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> This day coincided with the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which commemorated the suffering of the Israelites during the [[Exodus]], and it was also the preparation day for the Sabbath, indicating that it was Friday.
