The day after Palm Sunday, the apostles must have been on top of the world after Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem and proof to them that they, the apostles, hitch their wagon to the right guy. They gave up everything to follow him and the question to them must have been what was the final reward. There was even discussion who would sit next to Jesus but by Friday and as Jesus hanged on the cross, they were in hiding. Peter denied Jesus Christ three times and now all of them were no longer safe as the follower of “the man” who was hanging on the Cross with the message on the cross placed by Pontius Pilate, “The King of the Jew.”
