The Death and Resurrection of Jesus
-Old Testament prophecies foretold His betrayal and death:
| -Jesus was betrayed by a friend: | Psalm 41:9. |
| -He was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver: | Zechariah 11:12-13. |
| -Jesus was abused: | Isaiah 50:6. |
| -Jesus was silent before his accusers: | Isaiah 53:7. |
| -Jesus would be crucified for our sins: | Isaiah 53:4-6. |
| -Zechariah described the crucifixion: | Zechariah 12:10. |
| -Jesus would be numbered with the transgressors: | Isaiah 53:12. |
| -Jesus would be buried in a rich man's tomb: | Isaiah 53:9. |
-Old Testament writers foretold His resurrection:
Examples: Hosea 6:1-2; Psalm 16:10.
-New Testament writers confirmed His death:
Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 18-19.
-New Testament writers confirmed His resurrection:
| -Complete accounts are given in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20. |
| -Angels confirmed it: Matthew 28:5-7; Mark 16:5-7; Luke 24:4-7; John 20:12. |
| -New Testament writers spend much time on the subject of the resurrection. A classic example is in 1 Corinthians 15 where Paul says that if Christ is not risen from the dead then He died in vain; He lied and we continue to lie; preaching and practicing our faith is useless because a dead Savior can save no one so we are lost in our sins; our dead loved ones are gone forever and we are to be pitied! But Paul concludes that these things are not true because Jesus Christ lives! |

| -Jesus again appeared to His disciples with Thomas present: | John 20:24-29. |
