The people trial to find fault with Jesus so that they could put him to death but they found none. Jesus was ask if he was the messiah, the son of God and when he replied, he was accused of blasphemy. They spit on his face and mocked him. They took him to Pilate the roman governor the next morning in chains.

People accused Jesus that he said he was perverting the nation, he forbade them to give tribute to Caesar, he said he was Christ the king.

When Pilate ask Jesus ‘Are you the king of the Jew? ‘Jesus answered ‘you have said so’ Pilate told the people that he could find no crime in Jesus, but the people were not pleased. So he commanded they take Jesus to Herod since he was fro, Judea. And when Herod question Jesus. Jesus did not answer any of his questions, so he was mock and not respected. He was taken back to Pilate. Pilate told the elders and the priest that he and Herod finds no fault from him.so he don’t deserve death and he will be released but the people shouted ‘crucify Him. Then Pilate ordered that the demand of the people be granted and Barabbas was released while Jesus was to be killed.

When Pilat released Jesus to the people. He was led away to be killed on the cross. They ceased a man called Simon, a native of Cyrene and made him carry the cross behind Jesus. Jesus told the women crying for him not to weep. Jesus was crucified with two criminals at the place called skull. There Jesus ask God to forgive the people “father forgive them, for they know not what they do,” the ruler and the soldiers mocked and was given vinegar to drink. One of the thief was also mocking Jesus saying he could not save himself while the other thief shun the other one and said Jesus was innocent. And he told Jesus to remember him ibn his kingdom. Jesus replied and said to him “truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise.”

There was darkness over the whole land for three hour. The curtain of the temple was also torn into two. Then Jesus cried with a loud voice saying “father, into thy hands I commit my spirit” then he died.
