Narrator:      When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified him, along with two criminals, one on his right, the other on his left.

 

R1:          He had been brought to this place by fear, bad judgement, lies, false testimony, jealousy. . . But mostly by sin!

 

R2:          Arrested in the pre-dawn by a gang of thugs, thugs recruited, orchestrated and urged on by temple leaders.

 

R1:          Tried in mock trials by Roman officials who fully knew of his innocence, but who were weak and easily stared down by a show of uprising.

 

R2:          Taken directly, immediately from trial to the place of punishment and death, this in violation of their own Jewish law.

 

R1:          They placed on his head a crown of thorns and they forced him to carry his own cross on shoulders ripped apart by cruel whips.

 

Narrator:      Hail! . . . King of the Jews!

 

R2:          They hung him from the cross, above his head they fashioned a sign which said: Narrator:   JESUS OF NAZARETH . . . KING OF THE JEWS.

 

R1:          The chief Jewish priests objected to this sign, begging Pilate to change the sign to

. . “This man claimed to be King of the Jews.” But Pilate replied:

 

Narrator:      What I have written, I have written!
