When
they arrived at Golgotha they crucified Jesus.
They hammered nails through his hands and his feet, nailing him
to the stake. Then they
stood the stake up in a hole in the ground and left Jesus there to die. Two other men were
crucified at the same time. They
were thieves, but Jesus had done nothing wrong.
Some of Jesus’ disciples
watched. Mary, his mother
was there too. They could
do nothing to help.
Jesus
did not complain. He knew
that God wanted him to die like this.
Then everyone would know that he did trust in God to deliver him.
He looked at the mocking people around the cross and said,
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Then about midday the sun suddenly disappeared and it grew very dark until 3 o’clock. At this time Jesus cried with a loud voice and died. At the time for the sun to set, a rich man, named Joseph, and Nicodemus, came to Golgotha. They had asked Pilate if they might take down Jesus’ body and bury it. They carried away his body and Joseph laid it in his own new tomb. They rolled a great stone across the opening. Slowly and sadly they walked away.
