Now let us start with today's story long ago jesus was arrested by judas
and taken to the high priest judas had plotted against jesus for 30 pieces of silver coins
judas was one of jesus disciples who had betrayed him for greed although many jewish leaders
had declared jesus to be guilty he still had to be questioned by pilate pilate was a roman
governor at the time who had to pass the final death sentence of jesus jesus was brought in
front of pilate pilate asked him if he had heard about the complaint against him and if he knew
on what charges he was brought there pilate also wanted to know what jesus had to say about that
but jesus kept quiet throughout he did not even speak one word the priests were getting irritated
that pilate was wasting time questioning him when he should be passing the order right away
they really wanted to get rid of jesus pilate asked jesus do you belong to galilee
jesus replied very calmly yes galilee was then being ruled by king herod who was at that time
present in jerusalem so pilate sent jesus to him to pass the judgment herod had heard a lot about
jesus and his powers he was very keen on meeting him and so jesus was brought in front of him
herod kept asking jesus many questions but jesus remained silent finally tired of trying to make
jesus speak king herod sent jesus back to pilate wow jesus was so strong and silent absolutely
hello children i have already thought about the story that i'm going to tell
you today but you do remember that you have to answer one question at the end yes we do
all right on the day of the passover festival the common custom was that the governor would release
any prisoner chosen by the people at that time jesus was being held prisoner for stealing from
the temple treasury judas had betrayed him for his own greed pilate the then roman governor
was extremely fond of jesus and was hoping that people would ask for jesus to be released
but the priests had already told the people what to say they wanted to get rid of jesus as soon as
possible on the day of the festival the governor addressed the crowd gathered outside his palace
he said on this day i'm willing to release any prisoner you want who will it be
the people replied we want barabbas to be released barabbas was another prisoner who had stolen many
things and also committed many other crimes people chose him over jesus as a priest had told them to
do that pilate knew how jealous the priests were of jesus he did not want to put jesus to death at
all his wife had also dreamt about jesus being innocent and had pleaded him to let go of jesus
finally pilate asked the crowd again do you want me to release him whom you call the king
of jews the crowd said that they wanted to put jesus to death and save barabbas
the crowd was getting very impatient pilate was afraid that riots would start so he gave into
their demand but before he went back to his palace he called for a bowl filled with water
he then washed his hand and said i have nothing to do with jesus's death
barabbas shall be released oh no what will happen to jesus now all in good time
Because i want to tell you a wonderful story do you want to hear it oh yes
tell us please did we sing a nice song together and maybe share a hot dog i am not sharing gumbo
sharing is good anyway today's story is about the ascension after his resurrection jesus came
to his followers for the last time on the mount of olives he said go and tell the world the good news
i will always be with you until the end of time then jesus was lifted up a cloud carried him away
to heaven his followers came back to jerusalem feeling very sad they never saw jesus again
they were all together in a room when a strong wind filled the room with the holy
spirit and suddenly the followers started talking in languages from all around the world
visitors from many different countries heard them and were surprised as they now understood
what these men from galilee were trying to say they were deeply touched by peter's words who
told them god brought back jesus from the dead and all of us have seen that he is the promised lord
and our savior they asked what must we do peter said you must change your hearts and
be baptized in the name of jesus then all your sins will be forgiven and you will get the holy
spirit that day 3 000 people were baptized and they all gave their hearts and lives to jesus
it was celebrated as the birth of a new church the new people of god wow
i wish i could suddenly speak french by the way holy what do you mean by baptized well baptism
means the sprinkling of holy water on one's head for purification and being reborn as a christian
i hope that answered your question now for mine so how many people were baptized after the ascension
three hundred no numbers three thousand right holy i thought it was 300 i hate numbers
tubby that's correct gumbo don't be scared of numbers anyway now let's go get that hot dog
the holy tales to watch more videos please subscribe hidden plants and trees

one day moses went to mount horeb with his sheep there god appeared to him
as a flame of fire in a bush since there was no room anywhere else they decided to spend the night
in a stable here mary had her baby jesus she wrapped him in a blanket and put him to sleep
he's got the whole world
in his house
