Luke’s gospel provides another detailed account of this eventful week. Chapter 19 tells us about Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey similar to Matthew’s account while chapter 22 covers The Last Supper which he shared with his disciples before he was betrayed by Judas Iscariot leading to his arrest (Chapter23) by Jewish leaders who handed him over to Roman authorities for trial (Chapter23), culminating in His crucifixion (Chapter23) followed by His burial (Chapter23-24) and resurrection (Chapter 24).
