6.13.09 Gn28, Mt27

Genesis 28:
Isaac then gave Jacoc blessings, and sent him away for Laban's daughter. Jacob left. When Esau heard this, he found out how much Isaac didn't like his hittite wives, so he went to Ishmael's descendants, and married a girl there to be his wife, in addition to the wives he already had.
When Jacob came to the land of Luz, he rested on a piece of stone, and fell asleep, there God came to him in a dream that he told Jacob that He would make Jacob's descendants spread out, and would give this land to him. Jacob woke up and realized God is really on this land. He then made the stone he slept on a pillar. He then made a vow saying that if God kept him safe and provide what he needed, then he would give a tenth of what he would gain to God.

Matthew 27:
After Judas Iscariot saw what had happened to Jesus, he wanted to return the 30 silver coins, however, the peopel wouldn't take it, because they said taht it was his responsibility. Judas then threw the money in in the temple and left. He hanged himself afterwards, for he felt ashamed that it cost innocent blood.
The chief priest and the elders took Jesus to the governor, Pilate. Pilate asked if he was the king of the Jews, he answered yes. However he didn't say any defensive word for himself on the account of the accusation of the people. It was during the feast, and by tradition, the governor was to release one of the prisoners. He asked the people who they wanted, Jesus, or Barabbas. The all shouted Barabbas. However, Pilate's wife told him not to have anything to do with the accusation of Jesus, for she received a strange dream. Pilate then told the people that he was not responsible for putting Jesus to death. The people all shouted that let him blood shed on them and their children.
Jesus was taken to the prison to wait for his crucifiction. While preparing, the soldiers took off his cloths, and put scarlet robe on him, and made a crown out of the thorns. The all mocked him and spat on him. Then they led him to the cross.
When they were going, they grabbed Simon, a man from Cyrene to carry the cross for Jesus. They went to a place called the Golgotha. They offered wine, mixed with gall, for Jesus to drink, but Jesus wouldn't drink it after tasting it. They nailed him, and put a sign saying that he was the king of the Jews in front. By his side, there were two robbers. People all mocked him saying that he saved other people's life, but couldn't save his own. They also insulted him.
From 6 to 9 in the evening, the sky became dark, Jesus yelled to the Lord why he forsakened him. People thought the was talking to Elijah, and they offered him vinegar. After saying those words again, he died.
Then the sky was torn in half, the earth was shaking. People were really scared and admitted that he was really the son of God. Many of his disciples and women were in mourning.
A rich man from Arimathea went to Pilate and asked for Jesus's body, so he could burry him in the new tomb that he had dug out for him. He rolled a stone in front of the tomb. However, people thought was aware of the prophesy he had said that he was going to rise after 3 days, so they asked Pilate to put a seal on the stone and posted guards so that the disciples wouldn't come and take the body away.
