if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I
will, but as you will." (Mt 26:36-46) |

2. The Scourging at the Pillar
The chief priests with the elders and the scribes held a

3. The Crowning with Thorns
They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military
cloak about him. Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it
on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before
him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" (Mt
27:27-31) |

4. The Carrying of the Cross
Jesus, weak from being beaten, was unable to carry His cross
to Golgotha alone. Simon, a Cyrenian, helped him. (Mk
15:20-22) |

5. The Crucifixion
When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified
him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on
