 Jesus is rudely reviled by the excited Jews and is seized and laid upon the cross, where He is nailed, hands and feet, to the rough timber, ready to raise it in Crucifixion. The cross is then raised, and Christ is seen between the other crosses, upon which are hanging the two thieves who were placed there before the Saviour had arrived. Jesus is seen writhing in agony as the cruel soldiers pierce His side with spears and place the sponge filled with hyssop to His mouth. In the end the revilers are startled by the cry, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." Then, with a look of forgiveness, He said: "It is finished," and the end came.
