*Insert Witty Title Here*

Here, Jesus goes to the city of Jerusalem and goes to the temple with which he fights and ends up just watching people give offerings. And then came these verses: "And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living. " Here, Jesus mentioned the saying that all of us knew from when we were but toddlers. It is not what you give but the feelings that count. Or something among those lines. I can't be bothered to remember it.

Jesus then foresees the destruction of the temple which seems pretty brutal. I have to start paying attention to those old geezers holding up "the end is near" signs. Anyways, Jesus goes with his disciples to have diner with them for passover. Now the famous last supper takes place here. Jesus predicts Judas's betrayal and Peter's denial and gives his disciples wine and bread who are supposed to symbolize his body and blood. Jesus is captured by the high priest who accuses him of planning to destroy the church and has him crucified.

Everybody know this story. I mean, you just have to have heard it sometime in your lifetime. The story with Jesus carrying the cross and Pilate who is scared to the point where he wets his pants. And Jesus being crucified between two thieves, one that repents and one that does not. Jesus rises from the dead in the third day and everything is cool. Except that Judas kills himself.
