Jesus prayed directly to His heavenly Father. He prayed anywhere—whether outdoors on a hill, or in a boat. Anywhere. He prayed often. Sometimes He prayed all night or rose up early in the morning to pray.

Jesus prayed talking to His Father as a boy talks to His dad. We see this in His long prayer in the Gospel of John, chapter 17 where He talks plainly and simply to His heavenly Father. In the biography of Jesus seen in John’s Gospel in the New Testament, we can read about Jesus praying to God the Father. Click here:

Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. His disciples were with Him but the fell asleep. According to the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, "…he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as You will'" (Matthew 26:39 NKJV).  Jesus even prayed when He was on the cross: “Father forgiven them, they don’t know what they are doing.”

Jesus prayed so that His heart would be yielded (surrendered) to God the Father. He prayed to align His will with the will of His Father. He prayed for God to show Him the twelve disciples He should choose. He prayed for them and for each person who would come to know Him.

Jesus prayed to remain obedient to His Father’s will, to remain surrendered as a lamb.

Jesus prayed for people to be healed, resurrected, for the deliverance of people possessed by demons.

In the New Testament, we see that Jesus prayed continually to be in contact with His Father, to receive comfort and direction from His Father and to ask for the Father to forgive the sins of mankind. See the following verses:

Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. His disciples were with Him but the fell asleep. According to the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, "…he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as You will'" (Matthew 26:39 NKJV).

Jesus even prayed when He was on the cross: “Father forgiven them, they don’t know what they are doing.”

Jesus was buried in a tomb hewn (carved) out of a rock outside of Jerusalem. This tomb belonged to Joseph of Arimathea (a Jewish city where Joseph was a council member). According to the New Testament Gospel of Luke, chapter 23, verse 53, no one had ever used this tomb before. Joseph of Arimathea gave this tomb specifically for the burial of Jesus.

Joseph, a council member from Arimathea, and the converted Pharisee, Nicodemus, buried the body of Jesus. They asked permission of Pilate who had the power to grant them their desire to bury Jesus. This is seen in the New Testament Gospel of Luke (Luke 23:50 – 52). But the enormous stone that covered the tomb and sealed it off was placed there by Roman guards. 

A group of Roman guards were assigned by Pilate to watch the tomb where Jesus had been laid. They watched it diligently, taking turns to sleep so that there were always several guards or soldiers watching the tomb at any time. (They were extra diligent in this matter for fear someone would steal Jesus’s body—particularly since He had prophesied that He would rise from the dead).

According to the New Testament Gospels, a few women were the first to see Jesus risen from the dead. The Gospels vary in saying who was there first; but it was either Mary, or two women named Mary i.e.  it was both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses who first saw the risen Christ.
