We are further informed by the creed in 1 Corinthians 11:23ff. that (13)Jesus attended a dinner (14)on the evening of his betrayal. (15)He gave thanks before the meal and (16)shared both bread and drink, (17)which, he declared, represented his imminent atoning sacrifice for sin.
(18) Later, Jesus stood before Pilate (Acts 3:13; 13:28) and (19)made a good confession, which very possibly concerned his identity as the King of the Jews (1 Tim. 6:13). (20)Afterwards, Jesus was killed (Acts 3:13–15; 13:27–29) (21)for mankind’s sins (1 Pet. 3:18; Rom. 4:25; 1 Tim. 2:6), (22)in spite of his righteous life (1 Pet. 3:18). (23)Crucifixion was specified as the mode of death (Acts 2:23; 2:36; 4:10; 5:30; 10:39), being performed (24)in the city of Jerusalem (Acts 13:27; cf. 10:39), (25)by wicked men (Acts 2:23). (26)Then he was buried (Acts 13:29). (27) After his death he was resurrected (Acts 2:24, 31–32; 3:15, 26; 4:10; 5:30; 10:40; 13:30–37; 2 Tim. 2:8), (28)on the third day (Acts 10:40) and (29)appeared

to his followers (Acts 13:31), even (30)eating with them (Acts 10:40–41). (31)His disciples were witnesses of these events (Acts 2:32; 3:15; 5:32; 10:39, 41; 13:31).
(32)After his resurrection, Jesus ascended to heaven and was glorified and exalted (Acts 2:33; 3:21; 5:31; 1 Tim. 3:16; Phil. 2:6f.).
(33)The risen Jesus instructed that salvation be preached in his name (Acts 2:38–39; 3:19–23; 4:11–12; 5:32; 10:42–43; 13:26, 38–41). (34)This event showed God’s approval of Jesus, by validating his person and message (Acts 2:22–24, 36; 3:13–15; 10:42; 13:32–33; Rom. 1:3–4; 10:9–10). The person of Jesus Christ
