Jesus was betrayed by Judas into the hands of the Jewish religious authorities and crucified by the Romans. Christianity records His resurrection on the third day and his later ascension into heaven as His disciples watched.

Jesus was betrayed by Judas into the hands of the Jewish religious authorities who took Him away and secretly put Him on trial during the night, trying to find justification for their desire to have Him killed.  Finally, they convicted Him of blasphemy.  As they did not have the authority to put a man to death, they took him to [[Pontius Pilate]], the Roman governor of Palestine, with their charges and demand his execution.  Pilate avoided the issue by sending him to [[Herod Antipas|King Herod]] since Jesus was a Galilean, but Herod sent him back to Pilate.  Pilate at first tried to release Jesus with a flogging, but ultimately condemned Jesus to crucifixion.  Jesus died after suffering and giving up his spirit. The Bible goes on to record His resurrection on the third day, appearing before his disciples, and his later ascension into heaven as His disciples watched.
