Good Friday is a solemn Christian holiday observed annually across the world to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Although the day is marked by sorrow and reflection on the suffering and death of Christ, many people still question why it is referred to as 'Good Friday'.
The day is called 'good' because of the significance of Jesus’ death on the cross, which, according to many Christians, represents the ultimate sacrifice and an expression of God's love for humanity.
On this day, Jesus willingly gave his life as a sacrifice for human sin—an act regarded as a profound display of love, as highlighted in 1 John 4:10: “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”
It is also called good, attributing the word to the term "holy," which is a state of being pure. It describes God's unique nature and also the ideal for believers to strive for.
However, the term good in Good Friday has occasionally sparked debate among believers. For instance, in Germany, Good Friday is referred to as Karfreitag, or "Sorrowful Friday." Meanwhile, other Christians claim the name Good Friday originated from "God Friday."
During Good Friday, Christians participate in fasting and congregate as a church to reflect and participate in a procession to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus.
Here is the grammatically corrected version of your text, with no quotes altered and no unnecessary rewrites:
According to the Bible, on the fateful day, it all began after one of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot, revealed the whereabouts of Christ to the Jewish soldiers who went on to arrest Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane.
Following his arrest, Jesus was taken to the High Priest, Caiaphas, who was the President of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council, which in modern times could be referred to as a Supreme Court.
As per the Bible in the New Testament, the council was planning to put Jesus on trial and was looking for a shred of evidence to justify a reason to put him to death.
After a brief interrogation, the council accused Jesus of blasphemy for claiming that he was the Christ. He was subsequently whipped before he was later forwarded to Pilate.
He was forwarded to Pilate because the laws of the Roman Empire did not allow them to put anyone to death. While at Pilate's residence, they accused him of treason for going against the Roman government.
However, Pilate knew Christ was not guilty of any crime, but despite his stance, the crowd demanded his punishment. After public uproar, Pilate heeded the public call and handed Jesus over for crucifixion. Nonetheless, he washed his hands.
