-While Isaiah's prophecy of the Messiah continued, Jesus closed the book, and said ''This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.''
+While Isaiah's prophecy of the Messiah continued, Jesus closed the book, and said ''This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.''   Jesus continued to perform miracles and raise the dead as he travelled around the land.  But it was his teaching that frustrated the religious leaders, who asked Jesus for a miraculous sign.  Jesus replied to them, saying
+:''"An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."'' (Matthew 12:39-40 ESV)
+It was these teachings that turned the religious leaders against Jesus, who was falsely accused, humiliated, beaten, and finally crucified. Jesus was crucified on a Friday (the Jewish feast of Passover being celebrated on the preceding night) and his body was set in a tomb with soldiers placed in front to guard the tomb from his followers.  On Sunday morning, the Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven in the sight of the guards, and rolled back the stone from the tomb.  At that moment, Jesus of Nazareth proved that he was the Son of God when he raised from the dead.
-It was these teachings that turned the religious leaders against Jesus, and he was falsely accused, humiliated, beaten, and finally crucified. After the death of Jesus, his body was set in a tomb, and soldiers were placed to guard the tomb from his followers.
-Jesus was crucified on a Friday (the Jewish feast of Passover being celebrated on the preceding night) and his body lay in the tomb until Sunday morning, when the Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven in the sight of the guards, and rolled back the stone from the tomb.  At that moment, Jesus of Nazareth proved that he was the Son of God when he raised him from the dead.
 Pilate, the Roman Prefect of Judea who presided over part of Jesus' trial, came to power in 26 AD, which places the crucifixion after that time - possibly in 27 AD.
