Can anyone tell me...

...where the account of Jesus's Last Supper, betrayal, trial by Pontius Pilate, walking through the streets with the Cross, hanging on the Cross, death, burial and Resurrection is? I'm not a religious person, but I saw a Bible in a second-hand shop cheap, and I bought it, and since it is near Easter I would like to read up about it. I have the NIV.

You can read about it in any of the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are the first four books in the New Testament. Luke, I believe is the most meticulous writer since he was a doctor before Jesus called him. Of course, they each give their own accounts from their own perspective.

Good for you silver! 'Morn is right about where to find them in the New Testament...

In the front of your Bible will be an index with the names of all the books in it. Old Testament is first, then the New Testament. Sometimes you can go by page numbers instead of looking for the book names...

In the New Testament (NT) in Matthew you might begin reading in Chapter 26. In Mark, Chapter 14, In Luke, Chapter 22, and In John,Chapter 13.

You might be interested also in that the Old Testament gave this event of Christ as prophecy, so the Jewish people would know when their Messiah came. You can read about some of it in these areas of the Old Testament: Isaiah 53 is the main one, all the verses.

That the Messiah would be born of a virgin : Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14 (written like this: 7:14) in Bethlehem: Micah 5:2; and that He would be a descendant of the house of David :2 Samuel 7:12. That He would suffer rejection by his own people: Psalm 69:8, followed by the giving over by a friend Psalm 41:9. That he would be raised from the dead Psalm 16:10.

The story of the Bible is man's need for God. And especially, man's need for a Savior. I believe this was Christ. John 3:16; John 10:9,10-18 and Hebrews 9:12. (These references are in New Testament (NT))

Let us know if you have any more questions, ok? May you find God's love in this, and not fear. : )

You can find the story in the Gospels of the New Testament.
