1. The Resurrection: The story where Jesus rose from the dead is the centerpiece of Easter. He was crucified and buried, but on the third day, he rose from the grave and appeared to his followers. This story is found in all four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
2. The Crucifixion: The story of the Crucifixion tells us how Jesus was arrested, tried and executed by the Roman authorities. He was mocked, beaten and ultimately forced to carry his cross to Calvary, where he was nailed to the cross and left to die. This story is also found in all four Gospels.
3. The Last Supper: The night before Jesus was arrested, he shared a last meal with his disciples, which we now call the Last Supper. During this meal, Jesus predicted his own death and instructed his followers to keep his teachings alive after he was gone. This story is found in the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
4. The Emmaus Road: After Jesus rose from the dead, he appeared to some of his followers on the road to Emmaus. While walking with them, he explained all that had happened and how the prophecies had been fulfilled. This story is found in the Gospel of Luke.
