Passion Week Day 6 & 7

 Day five, Jesus is crucified and placed in a tomb.

Day 6 and 7 the people go about their daily lives. They prepare for the coming Sabbath and observe the Sabbath.

The disciples are in shock. Peter is full of guilt for having denied Jesus three times. The others are confused and wonder "What now?"

Judas is overwhelmed by what he did. He expected Jesus to call on his followers and lead a revolution. He gives the money back to the temple and commits suicide.

The high priest can't put blood money back into the treasury. The temple buys a plot of land and the profit from the land will go into the treasury. Somehow, I don't think that absolves them from the problem of blood money.
