- Event
The fall
Tempted by the serpent, the woman and the man ate from the one tree God had forbidden. Shame, blame, and curse followed, and they were sent out of the garden. In the same scene God spoke the first promise: the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent's head.

The Passover and the exodus
On the night God struck down the firstborn of Egypt, every Israelite household sheltered behind the blood of a lamb on its doorframe, and God passed over them. Pharaoh released the people, and when his army pursued them God parted the sea so Israel crossed on dry ground.

Gethsemane
After the supper Jesus went with His disciples to a garden on the Mount of Olives called Gethsemane. Taking Peter, James, and John further in, He was deeply distressed and prayed that if possible the cup might pass from Him, yet that the Father's will be done. The disciples slept. He woke them as the betrayer arrived.

The crucifixion of Jesus
Jesus was crucified outside Jerusalem at Golgotha under Pontius Pilate. He died after several hours on the cross and was buried in a nearby tomb before the Sabbath. The Gospels present His death as the sacrifice for the sins of the world.
Focus this layer - Person
Caiaphas
Caiaphas was the high priest in Jerusalem during the ministry and trial of Jesus. The chief priests met in his courtyard to plan the arrest, and at his house Jesus was put under oath, declared Himself the Son of Man at God's right hand, and was judged worthy of death. John records that Caiaphas had earlier said it was better for one man to die for the people.
