Jesus was:
Falsely accused and stood trial before Herod (Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:2-5; Luke 23:1-5; John 18:28-37), sent to Herod (Luke 23:6-12)
Returned to Pilate, scourged, and sentenced to death (Luke 23:11, Matthew 27:26; Mark 15:15; Luke 23:23-24; John 19:1-6),
Led to Golgotha (Matthew 27:32-34; Mark 15:21-24; Luke 23:26-31; John 19:16-17)
tortured and crucified (Mark 15:25, Luke 23:34, Mark 15:24, John 19:30, Luke 23:46),
Laid in a tomb (Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42)
The disciples would hide in the upper room—unsure and mourning the death of their leader. Jesus had promised them His peace, but it is unlikely they understood what He meant until the miraculous happened.
John 20:19 (NTL) reads…on “Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said (John 20:19 NLT).
What were the first words Jesus said when greeting the disciples?
Peace be with you.
