Passages from the Urantia Book
193:5.1 (2057.3) It was almost half past seven o’clock this Thursday morning, May 18, when Jesus arrived on the western slope of Mount Olivet with his eleven silent and somewhat bewildered apostles. From this location, about two thirds the way up the mountain, they could look out over Jerusalem and down upon Gethsemane.
UrantiaVoice will follow The Urantia Book’s daily account of the final events in the life of Jesus. The following passage is a remarkable narrative on the thoughts and feelings of each apostle as they observed Jesus’ unexpected entry into Jerusalem.

January 14th, 26 AD The Baptism of Jesus
January 14, 26 AD is the date The Urantia Book designates that Jesus was baptized by his distant cousin John in the Jordan River at a site near Pella. This excerpt follows Jesus from the moment he lays down his tools at the Capernaum boat shop to the moments after his baptism. 135:8.3 Just
before the noon rest, Jesus laid down his tools, removed his work
apron, and merely announced to the three workmen in the room with him,
“My hour has come.” He went out to his brothers James and Jude,
repeating, “My hour has come – let us go to John.” And they started
immediately for Pella, eating their lunch as they journeyed.

Sunday, April 9, 30 CEThe Resurrection
189:4.3 (2025.4) A little before three o’clock this Sunday morning, when the first signs of day began to appear in the east, five of the women started out for the tomb of Jesus. They had prepared an abundance of special embalming lotions, and they carried many linen bandages with them. It was their purpose more thoroughly to give the body of Jesus its death anointing and more carefully to wrap it up with the new bandages.
189:4.4 (2025.5) The women who went on this mission of anointing Jesus’ body were: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of the Alpheus twins, Salome the mother of the Zebedee brothers, Joanna the wife of Chuza, and Susanna the daughter of Ezra of Alexandria. 189:4.5 (2025.6) It was about half past three o’clock when the five women, laden with their ointments, arrived before the empty tomb.
187:2.1 (2006.5) The soldiers first bound the Master’s arms with cords to the crossbeam, and then they nailed his hands to the wood. When they had hoisted this crossbeam up on the post, and after they had nailed it securely to the upright timber of the cross, they bound and nailed his feet to the wood, using one long nail to penetrate both feet.
April 6, 30 CEThe Arrest of Jesus
183:3.1 (1973.3) As this company of armed soldiers and guards, carrying torches and lanterns, approached the garden, Judas stepped well out in front of the band that he might be ready quickly to identify Jesus so that the apprehenders could easily lay hands on him before his associates could rally to his defense. And there was yet another reason why Judas chose to be ahead of the Master’s enemies: He thought it would appear that he had arrived on the scene ahead of the soldiers so that the apostles and others gathered about Jesus might not directly connect him with the armed guards following so closely upon his heels. Judas had even thought to pose as having hastened out to warn them of the coming of the apprehenders, but this plan was thwarted by Jesus’ blighting greeting of the betrayer. Though the Master spoke to Judas kindly, he greeted him as a traitor. 183:3.2 (1973.4) As soon as Peter, James, and John, with some thirty of their fellow campers, saw the armed band with torches swing around the brow of the hill, they knew that these soldiers were coming to arrest Jesus, and they all rushed down to near the olive press where the Master was sitting in moonlit solitude.
