the shorter STORY about Jesus, "trending" a summary in demand.
introduction: I read many of THIS generations comments, okay only a few hundred, that indicate certain information is not Famous yet. people, even IF they wanted, do not have time to search among many chapters. so for this need in Response, i assembled GATHERED the parts of source, which their comments reminded me of, of which, to easily and quickly read and save your time, instead of searching many chapters. i attached them together into sentences, for easier reading. before the STORY, who really WROTE it and what is the INTERNAL story of the writing?
chapter one: who wrote?
"Peter, son of john, saw, [john=j21.15 and 20] the disciple [=student], whom jesus loved, who is the disciple who testifies, [TESTIFIED but while alive recorded] to the story, and who wrote these things [j21.24]."
note: the one who personnaly learned from jesus, testified and WROTE. part of bible was written by this disciple not by someone a century later. when we read "the new testament was written a hundred years after jesus" that refers to ASSEMBLING the older writings, that were written earlier some by this disciple who wrote it the same generation as jesus's disciples including the disciple named matthew who personnaly learnt from jesus [matthew 10.1-6 i will quote it here]. also included are later writings by paul around twenty years after the Roman soldiers crucified jesus [john 19.23 but nobody blames italians] see below.
STORY: "christ died for [pay debt of] our sins, [cor. 15.3] according to scripture [copied into book isaiah in chapter 53] people buried him with a stone cover, [cor. 15.4 and john 20.1] and on the third day, [cor. 15.4] God raised him from dead [romans 10.9].
"by this gospel [message] you are saved, [cor. 15.2], this as first importance [cor. 15.3]. anyone, [romans 10.11 fulfilling isaia 28] believe this in your heart, you will be saved" [romans 10.9 matching and fulfilling Jeremiah 31.33,34].
did any witnesses see him after death?
"after his death he appeared to [SEEN by] peter and the twelve, [many witnesses cor. 15.25-30 and john 20.1-21.23]. the word of faith is [romans 10.8] if you confess with your mouth jesus is master [kurios in source, used for master; or theo either one is master Lord and fulfilled this, see note soon] and believe the faith [jer. 31.33] you will be saved [jer. 31.34]."
this is first. if you accept this, short formula, even if deny everything else! from new testament or previous covenant, whether genesis or the description of god, you "entered the narrow bridge" as defined in the sources and prophecies. i believe anyone who has this core, every "type of the million conflicting denominations," share this core, so even if they ADD other errors as they claim about each other, still they got the gift and were saved. who can not make errors besides jesus himself?
chapter two: DEATH when and where?
we saw the internal prioritizing what the most important part is, as above, so we SHOULD skip to the important part first.
how did they get him on a cross? who were this they? did he even claim he could save himself? was he arrested publicly? when and where?
STORY style, "when Tiberius [luke 3.1] was emperor caesar, and when the governor was Pilate, in the place named golgotha, [john=j19.17] soldiers crucified jesus, [j19.23] as ordered by Pilate [j19.16]. they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lottery who will get it.” This happened and fulfilled the scripture that said, “They divided my clothes among them, and cast lots for my garment.”
Jesus saw his mother nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son.” Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was nearby, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips, and this fulfilled Scripture. Jesus said, “It is finished,” and bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
after death many witnesses saw him as above.
note: if you remember when the dementors hurt sirius black even after the magic chased them away they showed his life floating out and up, so imagine that same except invisible.
more background later.
til Up v
and shorter summarizing 1480 words in 442 words 1/3 and 1000 less. "when Tiberius [luke 3.1] was emperor caesar, and when the governor was Pilate, near the kidron valley [j18.1-36 summarized here very briefly for getting to the crucifixion quicker], judas led roman soldiers, holding torches and lanterns."
note: this indicated night and indicated many jews loved jesus, how? the need to arrest at night among trees, so many loved jesus so much that the leaders expected a public protest even riot if they saw their beloved jesus get arrested=that was the NEED to arrest in the trees at night with torches. if "everyone all jews hated jesus" as i heard some ignorance and some external "dogma canon" that differed from the book, then no need to go with lanterns, simply grab in public. the story was with lanterns.
"roman soldiers arrested jesus. soon, [jew] high priest questioned jesus [j18.19-28]. the roman governor questioned jesus [j18.28-36] who said "my kingdom is not this world" [meaning no threat to emperor tiberius.] The jew leaders "could not" kill sinners in john 18.31. the jew leaders wanted to kill him BECAUSE "because he claimed to be the son of god" [j19.7, preserving this
detail, but "could not" kill him [j18.31].
NOTE: if believe gospel, jews did not kill jesus because they could not, but maybe denying this detail fits a certain mindset?
"again pilate questioned jesus who stayed silent [j19.9]. after another question, jesus agreed you can kill me, only for God's plan, but i could save myself [j19.11]".
the choice was in pilate's power... he could free jesus or not. everyone waited for the governor order...
suspense?
no one could kill jesus unlesss governor decided and ordered soldiers.
"he gave the order to "soldiers" [j19.16] soldiers crucified jesus in john 19.23"
soldiers?
only IF believe the book, but those inciting pogroms "stretched the truth a bit" not matching their own book. if anyone noticed the difference, still hatred was stronger than logic. i mean think about the situation: church leader said "we love jesus and the jews killed our jesus" and the crowd is angry! and one nerd said "sir, dont you mean romans? it even said here..." what would they do to such a nerd? and others less nerdy, who can sense the environment knew to be silent.
note: this summarized brifly [because must not delay the main part, defined in cor. and romans, so just summary of chapter 18.1 to 19.23 selecting and emphasizing the details based on what i saw about this generation. still in the source are more details for the future genration ignorance too.
now the most precious part which i will "purify." the details purified will be told now.
19.23 to 20.8.

31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[c] 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[d]
The Burial of Jesus
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

for more background i summarize about from his life with times emphasized.
birth when and where?
During the time of king herod [mat. 2.1, the book said when because history recorded. herod died 4bc so at latest 4 bc almanac and britannica, now called 2023 so +3 (3,2,1+2023) =2026 years ago] during the empire of caesar Augustus [luke 2.1 between 31 bc and 14 ad] jesus was born in bethlehem [mat. 2.1] in judea [the gospel said the name of land then was judea and israel see [mat. 2.1 and 2.20 see for yourself there greek "israel"].
how did people become disciples of jesus? summary of chapters 1 to 4 briefly.
in the 15 year of Tiberius [luke 3.1, called 29 a.d.] jesus was about thirty years old [luke 3.23 yes the source said "about" and even if not, still estimating is common when using whole numbers 3 as a whole number or 50 or 30 etc. as a group], that is when and where, at bet ani [bethany] on the other [east] side of the jorden river. two disciples of john [baptist] heard their teacher say about jesus "is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world", so they accepted and followed jesus. one called his brother, simon son of john who jesus named peter. jesus found philip and invited/said "follow me", so philip called nathaneal and both came to jesus. [briefly summarizing john 1.29 to 1.47]. jesus said about his body [j2.21 as a symbol parabel like many of his parables] destroy this temple and i will raise it again in 3 days.
note: jesus planned to die here and other sources see john 19 first jesus was silent 19.9 but later said he agreed that expected to die [j19.10-11 for the plan, explaining he could save himself] and j18.11 "put away your sword etc. and more.
jesus taught that anyone who believes in Son of god has eternal life and will not perish but saved [from perishing after death matching jeremiah as above saved from sin]. anyone who does not believe, then this disbelief condemned them [even without any other sin, j3] he taught that God is spirit and claimed about himself "i am messiah christ." [j4.24 to 26].
note: this briefly summarised four chapters 1 to 4 selecting issues for this generation's ignorance. more is in source if have more time to read and to respond to other ignorances.
chapter 3, students and apostles
matthew listed, [mat. 10.1-6] "his" 11 classmates who jesus SENT [j4.38] "sent to israelites not gentiles" [mat. 10.5-6] a distinction that some try to blur gentiles are israelites but jesus distinguished, here. also elsewhere first to the jew matched this. matthew named each one including himself "matthew the tax collector" showing jesus did not reject rich and powerful nor sinners. since matthew was the disciple and author we know this part was written by a personal witness in the generation of jesus disciples not by someone later and same the disciple wrote as preserved john 21.24.
in galilee, at the time of "the jewish feast of tabernacles" , jesus sent some students, go to feast but he stayed in galilee [7.3-9]. during the feast of dedication in "jerusalem" jesus was in the temple, he taught [again] i give eternal life and save from perishing. none can take them from me.
[other translations added "man" but not in original. even satan and sin and renounce is too late to change, as specified here defining gift].
he claimed "i and the father are one" [not polytheism nor three. when jews said, in john 19.7 he deserved to die by jew law it was because they heard him say this. some spread ignorance "jesus never said i am god" some mean "in our book quran jesus never said" but in a different book that "even" quran said is good and light, he did say about himself. others mean "i never read him say that" which is not a lie but they CAN read john 19 and john 10.30-33.]
near passover, just before the passover feast, john wrote, "jesus knew the time to leave this world" 13.1 and recorded jesus his teachers words, that he personaly heard [j21.24+j13.33] "i will be with you only a short time" he knew he would die for the plan.
