About The Last Days of Jesus

The final week of Jesus’s life — known as Holy Week — stands at the very center of Christianity. The Bible paints a picture of Jesus as a local preacher who ran up against the Roman rulers in Jerusalem and paid for it with his life. But new evidence offers a very different image of Jesus, as an astute leader with ties to the most powerful people in Rome.
