Matthew 27 - 28

Jesus was led from the gathering of religious leaders to the office of the Roman governor in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate.  Judas, seeing all that transpired, regretted his decision to turn Jesus over to the authorities and tried to rectify the situation.  This was not possible, and Judas, distraught over the events, took his own life.  Jesus, meanwhile, was questioned by the governor and found to be innocent of any formal charge.  In an attempt to release Jesus, the people call for a notorious terrorist to be freed instead - they want to see Jesus executed.  The people's wishes are eventually granted and Jesus is beaten, led to the place of execution, and put on a cross to die for His claims to deity.  After His death, His body was buried in a sealed tomb to prevent a grave robbery that would further His followers claims to His supernatural ability.  In spite of the guard's presence, Jesus rose Himself from the dead and appeared to His followers, instructing them to teach others about Him and His teachings.
