The farewell discourse
After Judas left, Jesus spoke at length with the eleven. He gave them a new commandment to love one another, promised the Holy Spirit as another Advocate, described Himself as the true vine, warned of the world's hatred, and prayed to the Father for Himself, for His disciples, and for all who would believe through their word.

The arrest of Jesus
Judas led a crowd with swords and clubs, and in John a band of soldiers, to the garden he knew Jesus frequented, and identified Him with a kiss. One disciple struck the high priest's servant, and Jesus stopped the violence and, in Luke, healed the man. He was bound and led away, and all the disciples fled.

James was a Galilean fisherman, the son of Zebedee and brother of John, called by Jesus while mending nets beside the Sea of Galilee.

John was a Galilean fisherman, the brother of James and son of Zebedee, called by Jesus beside the Sea of Galilee.

Focus this layer - Place
Gethsemane
Gethsemane was a garden or olive grove at the foot of the Mount of Olives, across the Kidron Valley from Jerusalem, where Jesus often met with His disciples. On the night of His arrest He prayed there in anguish and was betrayed there by Judas.
Focus this layer - Place
Mount of Olives
The Mount of Olives is the ridge east of Jerusalem across the Kidron Valley, facing the temple. David climbed it weeping in flight from Absalom, Zechariah placed the Lord's feet on it, and Jesus began the triumphal entry from it, taught the Olivet discourse on it, prayed in Gethsemane on its slope, and ascended from it.
Focus this layer - Theme
Sacrifice and atonement
Sacrifice and atonement is the biblical pattern by which sin is covered and fellowship with God restored through a life given in place of the guilty. From the garments of skin in Eden and the ram in place of Isaac to the Passover lamb and the offerings of the law, the Old Testament teaches that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The New Testament proclaims that Jesus offered Himself once for all.
