Jesus Betrayed, Tried, Denied

Matthew 26, Luke 22, John 18

A cartoon depicting Peter's denial of Jesus, featuring a rooster crowing as Peter insists he doesn't know Jesus, alongside colorful speech bubbles. The second panel shows a trial scene where crowds demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus, with characters engaged in discussion and protest.

In this lesson, we reiterate the verse, “Watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Matthew 26:41. Oh how weak we are in times of difficulty! Yet Jesus is strong! He is faithful!

Gethsemane: Jesus Prepares His Disciples and Prays

A biblical scene depicting a man in prayer with his hands raised towards the sky, surrounded by trees and a serene night sky.

Before Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, He took time to prepare His disciples for what was about to happen. He assured them of His love and that they Holy Spirit would come to comfort and guide them. He told them He would prepare a place for them and come back to take them to be with Him. He also prayed for them and for all future believers – that includes us! In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed for God’s will to be done, and for strength. The object lesson in about doing God’s will. The craft is a special one. We made praying hand cast molds and then I finished them during the week.
